Yeah I find it hard to believe anyone eats literally 100% meat no exceptions.

I’ll bet $1000 Jordan Pederson is full of shit when he claims he eats nothing but cooked beef.

The Bear (Owsley Stanley) ate nothing but animal products for several decades. It's definitely possible.
Recently, he added chicken to the menu.
I don’t see what Jordan Peterson gains by lying. If anything it’s just another thing people can use to attack him.
He and his daughter do consultations at $150/hour based on the diet, so he has $150/hour to gain by lying.
By your strange logic contractors and freelancers would automatically be lying as well.
Funny, I hire freelancers all the time and work as one myself. There are plenty of frauds who are all talk until it comes to proving their value, and then they can't.

Why? There is an incentive to lie for a profit. However, I never claimed that Peterson is a fraud because he charges for consultations. I responded to a comment asking about what he had to gain from lying by showing that he has ample financial incentive to do so.

Just because you disagree with my comment, doesn't mean you should strawman my post.

People wouldn't be suspicious of Peterson's claims if he provided proof. I mean, even breatharians agreed to be documented while following their purported diet. Surely Peterson can do the same.

The keyword is "automatically". Your previous comment is cynical. Not even a modicum of curiosity is in there.
Weird, I don't see any curiosity in your posts, just emotional reactions to mine.

You're also confusing healthy skepticism with lack of curiosity, almost as if you're jumping to the defense of something you made an emotional investment in without consulting rationality.

You’d be surprised... perhaps if you expand you definition of meat to animal products (eggs, cheese, fish, shellfish, etc), then I would say a growing number of people do this.
