I mean, the only time I’ve had the displeasure of interacting with a self-proclaimed carnivore, he tried very hard to convince me that meat production is really not connected to climate change at all. So it’s hard to think that these kinds of influencer-diets aren’t a psyop to make people more invested in animal products, at least to some degree. I’m sure there are some true believers as well, of course.

This had less to do with raw/cooked food, and more just a general vibe of “meat is the real superfood (and I also really like the taste), therefore it can’t be bad for the environment!”.
