Why does he talk like a movie villain
---

I don't get it is he on keto?
---

Oh @BritishGQ
... just why? Is this journalism or indulging the world's macabre fascination with baddies. "Now we interview Skeletor on his all-infant diet and how being an evil overlord makes him feel."

lol

No, carnivore diet.

Keep in mind this is the same man who claimed that drinking apple cider kept him awake for 25 days straight.
---

Umm . . . okay.

I absolutely don't care what he chooses as his diet, but I find it hilarious that he picks probably the worst meat in terms of societal impact, carbon emissions, factory farming conditions,cost, and dietary recommendations.
---

remember when he only ate beef and broccoli and decided broccoli was causing him problems lmao this guy is too much

While I think the carnivore diet is dumb and don't dispute the environmental impact of factory farming beef is definitely not the least-recommended for health reasons. It's vitamin-rich and doesn't have a high amount of Omega-6s like chicken, and if it's grass-fed you also get more CLA as a bonus.

He isnt even a big fan of it and said he doesnt recommend it for most people. He is doing it for specific purposes after his daughter tried it.

Who is this tryhard?

He tries to speak as dramatically as possible and trying to sound like a 007 villain. Just say you eat only beef and get done with it, or at least let the reporter speak, if you try to sound like dracula you come off as an idiot, Peterson

He legit looks like something is wrong with him. He could play Doc Ock in the next Spiderman.

well he's been eating only beef for a while

That was hilarious
---

no, Peterson, eating meat isn't what killed your social life. Speaking like dracula-meets-spock did.

I saw him talk a bit about his diet on the Joe Rogan podcast. In it Joe seemed mildly concerned about this diet and tried to encourage Peterson to get a blood test a few times to make sure everything was alright with him. I wonder if he ever actually went to get the blood test.

Peterson claims that this diet helped with his daughters debilitating auto-immune diseases and claims it has helped him as well.

him and his daughter have some weird immune disease or something.

when they were on JRE talking about it i was laughing in amazement but also felt bad for them.

His daughter has a really messed up autoimmune disease to where pretty much EVERYTHING gives her an allergic reaction.

Meat is the only thing that doesn't.

On that same podcast.

Point being that I don't trust anything he says if he can just casually lie so easily. I don't cast any judgments on his daughter.

He's not nuts. There are cases where you shouldn't eat vegetables.

She claimed it as well. She talked about the meat diet being pretty much the only thing that has helped her deal with her condition. She's supposedly seen a bunch of doctors throughout her life and they couldn't do much, so if this meat diet works then I don't blame them for continuing it. I'm not really sure why people have a problem with what Peterson and his family are eating.

I mean keto helped me drop quite a bit of weight and helped a lot with my allergies. I imagine a carnivore diet would do the same

It's difficult to take someone at their word when they say apple cider kept them awake for 25 days straight though.
---

He said it so matter-of-factly and without hesitation and Joe Rogan didn't even challenge him on it. That's when I suddenly felt a huge gulf between Peterson and reality, he just had no qualms about throwing out this lie to embellish what he was saying.

So? The guy from The Machinist went a year without sleeping.

No but seriously though what puts me off much more than this is that he likes to peddle anti-climate science nonsense on twitter. Worrying to see considering that there's an enclave of alt-right types who think he's a supergenius and the savior of western civilization

Clinical psychologist and former (?) university professor, I think.

he's so unintentionally funny, but the idea of eating only beef disgusts me.

I can understand eating an all meat diet but strictly beef? Legit... why.

Idk man, beef is pretty universally agreed upon to be the least-healthy meat.

Hell, bison alone does everything that beef does, but better and with less health risks.

I don't see the issue people are taking with this. Or why they're saying he's talking like a villain. He just answered a question about his diet.

They might be upset with the other things he says in the video.

He challenges the woman's belief about the west being patriarchal and says she not giving her real opinions on things but bullet points off of an ideology.

This prompts her to go against her feminist mold and come out against the idea of transgenderism such as a woman being born into a man's body or something like that. At least she claims she can't say this around her circle of friends without fear of retribution.

A very funny part of the video was when Peterson said we are very close to jailing people for jokes like Burma.

She said why would he think that?

He brought up count Dankula.

She wouldn't admit Dankula got jailed for a joke, doubling down that it wasn't a joke...

proving Peterson right.

lmao

he does come off very grumpy and confrontational in the video however, I wonder if something she did ticked him off before they started or if it was just the notion of patriarchal heirarchy alone that gave him some contempt

Again, definitely not universally. Not even a mainstream view, either. A lot of fitness professionals favor beef over chicken.

"Stan touts the superiority of red meat over chicken or fish, saying its more nutrient dense due to its higher content of iron, B vitamins, zinc, and cholesterol..."
https://www.tigerfitness.com/blogs/diet-weight-loss/vertical-diet-stan-efferding

And again, chicken is higher in Omega-6's which Americans get too much of compared to Omega-3s.

And grass-fed beef is no less healthy than bison. Most of the research advocating against red meat doesn't differentiate between heavily processed meats and non-processed meats, nevermind factory farmed vs pasture-raised animals.

I mean he also claims that the underlying threat of things getting physical is always there when men converse:

Yeah, I don't dispute that and I don't like the factory farming system. Bring on lab meat.

I agree that grass fed locally sourced red meat is so good. Im eager for Impossible/Beyond Beef style stuff to get more refined and affordable.

Ehh, I cut this one a little slack. It's true that we, men, can and do interact with one another in peaceful ways, but it's also true that our history is littered with violent conflict after violent conflict after violent conflict, which all involved men either putting holes into each other where holes shouldn't be or splitting each other's skulls when it's much more advisable to keep them whole. If you look at the Cold War between the US and the former Soviet Union, it's generally agreed upon that the threat of mutually assured destruction is what kept those two nations (led by men, mind you) from bombing the fuck out of each other. Civil discourse is kept civil because of that looming threat of potential violence, whether it's on a one to one level or between two hostile countries.

Personally, I think humans are basically hairless chimps that have decided they like wearing shoes and cooking their food. We may talk a good game of being civilized, but even the weakest among us will bash your head in if he hasn't eaten in a while. In short, I think Peterson was not too far off from the truth.

Edit: not

I wonder if an all-beer diet would be viable... Maybe Guinness?

This is the dumbest complaint I've seen people have about Peterson. They've run out of ways to fight any of his philosophical points, so they just say he's crazy for having a diet regimen that helps his allergy problems.
