Carbs are not a requirement for humans

[Chainlink]

Has this been touched on before on this forum? It's not realistic to require players to consume carbs. You could eat nothing but raw meat and be in perfect health. Some meat might have parasites though.

Humans don't really need to eat, you can survive on the energy you get from intense meditation

Never stand in the way of a vegan trying to tell you they are vegan.

No, this guy is at the opposite end of the spectrum, he appears to believe that people should eat nothing but raw meat and anyone who says otherwise is a vegan propagandist. Which is a new one for me.

Yeah that's a bit silly. We are omnivores, so choosing just one thing to consume is fairly dumb unless you have some sort of disorder or something to that effect from a doctor.

Whatever tho, if people want to choose to make them selves sick that's on them. More food for me :D

It's pretty smart actually. You'd be in perfect health if you ate nothing but raw meat which has all required nutrients. Plants have virtually no nutrients aside from vitamin C. They have carbs which are toxic in anything but small amounts.

The game is a good analogy actually... instead of running around combining foods (which you have to do with plants as none of them have bioavailable nutrients in and of themselves) you can just eat one thing - meat - which is your natural diet as a human...

In real life we can survive without carbs or at least kept to very minimum as they cause obesity if living a sedentry life .

If you don't eat any carbs your body gets sick and you will die, so the requirement in the game is reality.

Surviving isn't the same thing as being healthy. Atkins is a fad diet which correlates with increased risk of heart disease and malnutrition. Balanced diets are categorically better than fad diets like Atkins, but unfortunately there are a lot of people who lack the self-control to maintain a balanced diet, and those people tend to plunge readily down the rabbit hole of whatever the latest fad happens to be. Some fad diets (e.g. raw foodism) even have borderline cult-like profiles due to their absolute rejection of scientific consensus, and I sure am getting that vibe from the OP.

Agree but as I said minmal carbs I am 100% healthy never get sick and eat an amazing balanced diet of home grown fruit and veg some meat mainly fish and chicken.
Dont drink alochol either nor smoke
I'm also good looking :P
If thats the definition of a crackpot thats pretty sad.

I am 65 and on Keto diet (low carbs 20g per day) have lost weight and haven't felt this good in 20+ years. My body in now fat adapted. Enjoying my new healthy lifestyle.

I legitimately am concerned for some of the people that have posted their wild theories on how human nutrition works.

Personally, I enjoy eating the worst things in life because more often then not.. things that are bad for you are the best tasting. I choose to live happily but in moderation, as opposed to adapting something that may or may not increase my lifespan, at the cost of being unhappy.

But all of that aside as far as how nutrition works in this game, I think it's fine the way it is. Being too realistic detracts from the fun, it still has to feel like a game on some level.

There is nothing wild about eating raw meat, all our ancestors did it. You are falling for the popularity fallacy, as is Ptolemy, and the appeal to authority fallacy.

You're falling for the appeal to nature fallacy, and you're getting even that wrong, because at no point in our evolutionary history did we subsist exclusively on raw meat.

Holy crap, people will argue about anything and everything.
I will never understand what drives folks to do this.

It's a game people... just play and enjoy.
In real life just eat what makes you happy. No one is right or wrong, what's considered healthy today will kill you tomorrow and vice versa.

Peace!

The good thing about the internet is that if you think an argument is pointless, you can easily just ignore it - no one is forcing you to weigh in.

I can't argue with that... I wouldn't anyways, that would make me a bit of a hypocrite.
But as you enjoy the freedom to argue like 10 year old children over things of no importance, I enjoy the freedom to laugh and point.

Peace!
