Today is the first day of January and is also the first day of World Carnivore Month. To that end, let's challenge ourselves to eat a carnivore diet for the entire month of January. The type of carnivore diet and the level of strictness you choose to do is entirely up to you. Examples of carnivore diets include the following...
1) The Lion Diet. A person eating the Lion Diet only consumes the flesh of ruminant animals, water, and salt.
2) The BBBE Diet. BBBE is an acronym for Beef, Butter, Bacon, and Eggs.
3) The Carnivore Diet. This allows for the consumption of any and all animals and animal by-products, including dairy.
In any of the above examples, the object of course is to not consume any plants as part of your diet. Of course, we're not going to micromanage hoe you prepare your food, so your use of seasonings is entirely your own personal choice.
IF your circumstances don't allow you to go full on carnivore in January, then you can participate in this topic by challenge yourself to do better, above and beyond what you have been doing. For example, if you have still been eating grains, seed oils, refined sugar, or drinking alcohol, challenge yourself to avoid these items and just eat a clean, single ingredient whole foods diet such as clean keto, ketovore, or animal based.
We encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. Participants in this topic will be entered into a drawing for a prize at the end of the month.
*Proposal: Building Global Friendships through Cultural Exchange with Africa*
Dear friends,
I kindly encourage you to consider establishing genuine friendships with people from Africa. Beyond media portrayals, Africa is a continent rich in culture, hospitality, talent, and warmth. Creating friendships across continents fosters deep human connection, mutual respect, and global understanding.
These relationships can go beyond chats — they can lead to life-changing cultural exchanges. If you're in a position to host or invite an African friend for a visit — as a guest, family friend, or cultural exchange — such a gesture can open new worlds, both ways. Equally, your visit to Africa can be an unforgettable experience filled with learning, joy, and real connection.
If you come across travel opportunities, community programs, or links that can support interested Africans in visiting your country, sharing them would be an incredible act of kindness. You never know whose dream you might help come true.
Let’s make the world feel a little smaller, warmer, and more united — one friendship at a time.
With respect, David Agalla, *****@*****.tld
