The poor can’t afford to follow public health advice
I&#x27;m a poor person (less than 750€&#x2F;month) I do art (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aszantu.deviantart.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aszantu.deviantart.com</a>)<p>It&#x27;s funny how I don&#x27;t use as much money since I went carnivore. My health has improved greatly, my depression went away.<p>For about 3 months I was keto, basically unaffordable, so I cut the fresh greens and went with meat alone.<p>3 months of eating 1.5 KG pork every day, still expensive.   
went with about 500 grams of ground meat for about a year and after I figured out the keto-carnivore thing it&#x27;s about<p>1 block of butter every 3 days as well as 250 grams of beef is enough to survive.<p>I&#x27;m building my own mealworm farm for protein and fat as well as a snail hatchery for giant african snails for protein.<p>as poor person you basically never know when you will have to rely on yourself. So I&#x27;m trying to build for self sufficiency with solar panel and car battery as well as my own food production.<p>so many questions help!
1. Why? - I wanted to try it for the depression - it worked for multiple other ailments <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;meatheals.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;meatheals.com</a> has a lot of similar stories - some people live like that for a long time now.<p>2. Will I die from scurvey or other nutrient deficiency? - I dont&#x27;t know. Bloodwork looked okay. Cholesterol is high (Dave Feldman has some interesting things to say about that)
Yes I do fear that I don&#x27;t get some nutrients but I eat some organ meat now and then, add gelatine to my meat, drink milk and eat butter, eggs, cheese, fish, different animals, different states of fermentation now and then.<p>3. Did I supplement? - yes, I took magnesium citrate for a while but not taking any now, except for when I have a headache. When I still ate &quot;normal&quot;, zinc did a lot for my depression.<p>4. why insects rather than plants? - Plants in general seem to give me allergic reactions -&gt; Carbs and sugar seem to make me depressed, greens and onions seem to amplify anxiety, plant oils give me headaches. After having symptoms every time I tried another plant, I stopped trying and these trials are getting less and less. There is something about anti-nutrients in plants that seems to screw with the absorbtion of minerals and vitamins from food.<p>5. Did I talk to a doctor? - Yes, I did, she just sat there and noded asked for a blood test and that&#x27;s it. LDL is high, trigs are low (Dave Feldman prediction for cholesterol)<p>6. what about cancer? protein spikes IGF1 or something? I don&#x27;t know... I don&#x27;t want to go back to Plants because they make me feel like shit. Everyone dies and I will too one day. There is some article of someone who researched the WHO connection of cancer and red meat, and it doesn&#x27;t seem to hold up.<p>7. do I still have symptoms? - Yes, depression is there sometimes and anxiety as well. I&#x27;ve lived with them for so long that I still have the habits of depression and they&#x27;re hard to break. But I&#x27;ve accomplished about 500 km of the camino trail in europe as well as worked 9-5 hours which was never possible for me before. Childhood hunger never leaves you,(also it feels like germany is destabilizing as a democratic system) hence the preparation for crisis.
