Yes. So, you know, people have their different sensitivities. You're always going to find somebody in the corner of the Internet that will, I don't want to say fear monger because that cheapens it. And I don't think that's the point. But let's say be particularly sensitive to potential pitfalls of certain ingredients. And I think it's OK. to be aware of that, but take them with a grain of salt.

On balance, my opinion is not that fiber, oxalates, leptins, plant anti-nutrients are a terror. I think most people can tolerate them just fine. I think on balance, vegetables are perfectly healthy for most people. And I say that with the context and the framing that, but I don't eat a lot of vegetables, fiber, or these foods because of my personal circumstance.

I don't think a lot of people try to take the time to separate like their narrative and what they do from maybe what the literature says. But my perspective now getting more philosophical is like what the literature says and what somebody else does that might work for them has no bearing. on my individual history and my individual narrative.

So if somebody eats a high oxalate, low fat vegan diet and does it tremendously well and is healthy and happy, that doesn't detract from the fact that I had a benefit on a ketogenic diet. It doesn't. I just want people to get to a place where they are healthy and happy. And I think just discussing the literature openly facilitates that. This is my current stance. It could change in the future.

But no, I don't hold those perspectives, which some people in the carnivore community might hold. And that's fine. I think it's ridiculous. Actually, I was criticized recently by somebody on Instagram who said they were upset that I was affiliating with people in the carnivore community.
