How can you get essential nutrients like vitamin C without eating any plant matter? I've heard this puts you at risk for scurvy. Are people on carnivore diets getting scurvy?

Wish I could make my own Paté. Or liverwurst for that matter. 

It’s easy. Maybe I need to post my recipes in the recipe section.

The part I can’t emphasize with is how your mind is so hung up on not eating meat that it’s repulsive. I just can’t relate to that because I’ve always preferred meat over anything else.

Yes, as I kid, I liked meat, growing up it was part of almost every meal, bacon for breakfast, ham sandwiches for lunch and always meat and vegetables for dinner. I didn't start out this way, feeling like meat was repulsive, it crept up on me slowly, accompanying me on my spiritual journey, which started when I was about 13. Initially it was ideological and I was trying to purify my karma....whatever that means 🤪 then there's all the 'meat bad' health information, which I'm quickly learning was mostly economic based, corporate propaganda, which started in the 70's I think, as the processed food industry was promoting it's products.

I guess I've been part of a vegetarian//vegan cult for a long time, without realizing it, and now need to deprogram myself. I'm immersing myself in the online carnivore community, filling my mind with 'meat good' and 'meat delicious' kinds of messages....and it's slowly working. Thankfully, the spiritual seeking ended after finding what I was looking for, so now it's time to take care of the body and hopefully live a long life, which was always part of the plan.

Lambs brains were a favorite when I was growing up, so it was the easiest part of the meal for me. My mother used to coat them in egg and bread crumbs, pan fry them in butter and serve with wedges of fresh lemon. I grew up eating them and didn't even know what they were. Soon after I was married, my husband and I were temporarily staying with my parents, my mother cooked brains one night and to me it was a normal thing, but my husband went nuts, refused to eat them and told me that if I ate any, he would never kiss me ever again....and he was serious.

It's got so much to do with culture and how you've been brought up. I've eaten raw meat, raw fish, liver, horse meat, tongue, etc. when I was a kid. Moving to the US, it was less common to see these foods. I stick with liver these days. 

It can absolutely freak some people out, I believe that.

Maybe? I'd be delighted to see how it's made. Liverwurst or paté is quite rare around here.

That all makes sense. It is, like you say, a cult like influence on us all. We have all been indoctrinated by religion, big food and big pharma to believe a certain way in order to further an agenda and profits.
We all have a choice, the red pill or the blue pill. We have chosen the red pill of enlightenment.
Congratulations to you for being open minded and recognizing the truth.

Ok, I’ll start a thread on it soon.

There is enough vitamin C in meat.

You only need a very tiny amount IF you aren't shoving carbohydrates down your throat. 

Vitamin C and Glucose compete for uptake into the cells and so by eating carbs, which, by the way, all turn into glucose will significantly increase the requirement for vitamin C.

It's not an issue on carnivore.
