Seems like a lot of people are on this vegan wave especially for the new year. There is an Instagram user who is doing the complete opposite direction. A US man has shockingly challenged himself to eat raw meat alone for 78 days to find out whether or not he will survive.
He previously ate a plant-based diet but claimed to suffer from health issues because of it. So instead, he has been training his stomach to digest nothing but uncooked meat, including organs and he washes it down with raw animal milk and raw eggs. According to Mirror he claimed his favorite meals include chicken breast, steak, and swordfish and so far he's managed to avoid severe food poisoning.
He is risking contracting E. coli, salmonella, and Shigella. If he doesn't do the reversal work and eat some fruits and vegetables, he will suffer from constipation, hemorrhoid's, and even scurvy. Posting stomach-churning photos of himself biting into raw flesh got him a decent following. He has over 60k followers on Instagram. He admitted cooked meat tastes better though the raw stuff is growing on him.
On day 45 he ate raw bacon, which one of his followers said it looked like a "skinned foot." People are worried about his diet but he admitted he does eat potatoes, rice, and cooked chicken occasionally.
Doctors generally warn that eating a lot raw meat is dangerous if you can't be sure of the quality and what bacteria might be lurking beneath.
