I understand why lefties want to unreservedly mock the reactionary cultural phenomenon, but that does more harm to disabled people, to vegans' ideas and praxis, and to people's understanding of their own bodies than it will ever do to Jordan Peterson.
If you closely analyze the human GI tract and primate evolution, it's clear that we are physiologically carnivores w/adaptations. We have none of the structures of ruminant species. Mocking simple recipes demonstrates ignorance of basic nutrition.
Of course the recipes are simple. Herbivores have to eat a diverse diet if they are to obtain sufficiently broad nutrition, while carnivores just eat the herbivores that already collected all the various resources in the environment. This is why claims of deficiencies among meat eaters are largely mythical. The recipes are also simple because many dieters undertook carnivory after plant-based food made them chronically very ill. For some, the "balanced diet" is unsurvivable. Ask me how I know!
Can we pursue a greater justice -- inclusive of the herbivorous animals I am entirely forced to eat every day -- without completely erasing disabled people yet again? Can my own distress and motivation to stop living as a horrifying predatory monster be enough, and not also flippantly trashable such that we reinforce capitalist medicine's decades-old profitable false notions of how our digestive systems function? Wh -- Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your dunk on lab-grown meat. Carry on…
