As food, plants are utterly unnecessary. I posted some links in s/Carnivore where you can find a lot of reports, many of them hard science, as to how this is factual.

I'm not saying no plants can ever help us: I use hawthorn for cardiovascular health and devil's claw (harpagophytum procumbens) for my tendinitis problems. As medicine, plants are great IMHO. But not as food. And the reason is simple: pretty much all plants contain antinutrients: things that prevent absorption of nutrients. As such, you might have calcium in your broccoli, but something that blocks its absorption too. Meat is utterly devoid of antinutrients, meaning you can absorb all of its goodness.

antinootrients

I know, I've tried all the "fad" diets that have been big in the last 10 years including raw carni. I think its a great elimination diet but I'm not sold on low/no carb diets for the longterm. How long you been on it? Do you do dairy/honey?

I'm on it for the last year and a half. I do dairy, because there's no difference in how I feel or my digestion, and the stuff is yummy. But no honey.

I also eat all organic / natural.

It does, in small amounts. However, a diet essentially devoid of carbohydrates requires very very little vitamin C, making the amounts found in meat plenty sufficient.

Scurvy happened on ships because sailors were fed GRAIN in the form of biscuits, rather than meat. If ships had carried dried meat instead, no scurvy would have happened. But ordinary sailors were barely above slaves, so whatever should keep them alive for a while would do.

Your line reminds me of the BS from the "game changers" movie where ahnuld states that the gladiators were the "ultimate athletes" and ate no meat. They were in fact SLAVES and the lowest of the low, nowhere near the status of star athletes that competed in the Olympics and who were, by and large, carnivores.

Not your fault, of course. There is so much disinformation made to fit a profiteer's preferred narrative everywhere. Where do YOU think the esquimo and numerous ancestral peoples eating their traditional carnivore diets got their RDA of vitamin C? They got what they needed from the meat and were the healthiest people ever recorded.
