I Ate Carnivore in the UK- Here's What Shocked Me
In a Nutshell
US carnivore eaters found the UK superior for meat-based diets due to stricter regulations: UK bans growth hormones in beef, artificial food dyes, and single-use plastics while offering higher-quality cheese and fewer ultra-processed food options. They observed fewer obese people, calmer social interactions, and government policies prioritizing health over corporate profits, though they noted UK roads are dangerously narrow and fast food is scarce. The hosts conclude UK-style regulations represent meaningful public health improvements worth considering in the US.

The video opens with the hosts expressing surprise that carnivore eating is better in the UK versus the US. They are in the UK to screen Healing Humanity: The Power of a Proper Human Diet. Approximately 100 people attended the screening in the UK. The film is scheduled to screen in Indianapolis the following Monday, with additional screenings planned across the Midwest, Southwest, Northwest, Washington, and Nevada locations.
The hosts note a complete absence of advertisements for injections, prescriptions, fast food, GLP-1 drugs, or weight-loss medications on UK television. This contrasts sharply with the US, where they observe constant commercials for prescriptions, GLP-1 medications, weight loss products, Viagra, and junk food. They mention that billboards in the US are ubiquitous with similar messaging, whereas UK billboards are scarce. The hosts explicitly state they love the United States and are grateful to live there, but emphasize the need to be honest about areas where improvement is possible.
At Five Guys in the UK, the hosts received wooden utensils instead of plastic. The restaurant does not offer plastic forks due to a UK law banning them because of environmental harm and microplastics that enter soil and eventually human consumption. When one host requested a plastic fork, staff responded with confusion and provided a wooden fork instead.
