    that’s not true

    Are you sure about that? Got any examples of nutrients that make humans obligate carnivores?

      I didn’t say that. you’ve constructed a straw man.

        reductio ad absurdum, actually.

        You claimed that this statement was not true:

        There are no nutrients that are exclusively available via meat/dairy.

        i.e. claimed that there are some nutrients that can only be sourced via meat or dairy.

        An obligate carnivore must eat meat to live, like, say, if the only source of needed nutrients is meat?

        Where did I lose you on this? Is it the “or dairy” escape hatch?

        FFS, you could have just given an example of a nutrient you mistakenly think is only available via meat or dairy. Then I could have judged your post on its merits instead of this displeasure of a thread.
