 the other point i been meaning to make is that "nourishment" is indeed a valid concern FOR GROWING ORGANISMS or up to about age 20.

in the beginning of one's life getting enough nutrients should be the primary consideration, otherwise you risk STUNTING.

grain based diets are HORRIBLE for children because they quite directly lead to stunting which is endemic in countries like India that have diets that contain little meat.

sadly we do everything exactly wrong - we feed our children cereal because it's cheap - and then when we grow up and start to make our own money we begin to eat steak, when it is already too late to reap the maximum benefits of it ( you won't grow any taller as an adult ).

there is a saying that youth is wasted on the young ... well steak is wasted on the adults.

yes steak is good but fully grown adults do not need to eat steak on top of steak on top of steak like retarded degenerate carnivores do.  the amount of steak Shawn Baker eats could save probably 20 children from stunting but offers him little benefit.  yes Baker is a good athlete but 99% of top athletes do just fine without carnivore diet.  he posts sickening videos of himself consuming all these steaks and degenerate carnivores applaud them.  fucking scum.
