Funny Interactions

I travel a fair amount and recently started carnivore again, so while I’ve been on the road I’ve frequented McDonald’s a couple of times to get their 1/4 patties

Last night when I picked up my patties the woman at the window laughed and asked “Now be honest with me… Are these for your dog?”

So I’m curious, anyone had any funny interactions when people aren’t in on what carnivore is or find it strange?

Almost every time I go to Costco and get their grass fed beef patties (I get at least 10 packages at a time), someone will ask if I’m having a party/bbq. My standard response is, “something like that”.

10 packages? Yeah, that's a reasonable assertion 😅

For me, every day is a celebration (starting year # 4 of carnivore).

People have been getting plain patties for their pets for years.

Those quarter pound patties aren’t cheap these days! Those pets are eating good! Well at least they’re eating expensive lol

Yeah. I get the great value pack for the dog and it’s 93 cents per quarter pound pattie. It’s a normal meal for him. He’s about ten pounds. We moved him carni Jan 1. Nothing short of life changing for him. He’s SO much better off “dog food.”

"Human DNA was detected in one frozen vegetarian burger."

Good thing I don't eat vegetarian food.

Human DNA? 😵‍💫

Nearly everything is contaminated with human DNA. It floats in the air.

My favorite is when I’m explaining what I eat and the person goes, “and vegetables, right?”

And their mind is blown when I tell them I haven’t had any significant amount of vegetables (beyond a small garnish) in 2.5 years.

Mostly no funny interactions. Just people commenting on massive meat consumption and saying this is unhealthy and I will get cancer soon. Toxic people

Threatened bc it’s viewed as different.
