Got a family member who's going to try carnivore for 3 weeks. The problem, we're meeting up with our grandparents who are very, very entrenched in a bad mixed diet philosophy focused on mainstream advice and plants. Not only that but 3 weeks probably isn't going to be enough time. I feel like picking this time window is a conscious decision where failure is more likely...
Let's just say this family member values eating the same things as family more than health. It's especially dangerous since my grandparents are very judgemental, arrogant, without hope, combative, miserable, and identify with their problems.
They also really, really try to push their lifestyle on to you. There's a lot of very forced "live my way and do things with me" kinds of games. They have a fit if you don't like them or want to do something with them. They struggle with the concept of people who don't want to spend time with them. And usually what they want you to do is to live like them.
They believe they're right about their lifestyle but they have no good indication of such, nor are they open minded enough to at least accept that there is more to know within their own system than they realize. There's also no humility, a lot of lying in arguments, and running to theology whenever they're out of their depth. Who knew old people could be so childish? This is why I've started to say to myself, "I have to let them die their way and hopefully they'll let me die in mine." What an awful mindset! 😩
