Sometimes I wonder who profits off the fake information regarding some dietary choices like drinking raw milk and eating red or raw meat because you are just actively harming your audience lol. They will, statistically, live shorter and will on average face more health problems.
Maybe it’s spectacle. Some guys harm their own health in order to get more views, including but not exclusive to raw meat eaters.
I’m sure that most of the audience isn’t gonna adopt a raw meat diet, but watching someone rant about dietary conspiracies or eating garbage is part of their entertainment. I think it’s like mukbangs.
tldr: If it attracts views and doesn’t harm bourgeois profits, it will be done. If it draws attention away from class war and into culture “war”, it will be done.
Everyone’s still on the gravy train. Agribusiness (Think Tyson Foods, Cargill, JBS, and National Beef, big four) is expanding revenue after colonizing all possible markets by getting the existing customers to buy more. A cottage industry of small/alternative business douchebags (Joe Rogan, Gwyneth Paltrow) can sell other products like supplements or merch while profiting symbiotically with much more developed industries and interests like big beef.
It’s all about that death drive. Since the orientation of this all is just to accumulate, the negative health effects of the buy-what-we-tell-you diet or environmental damages (JBS being a big contributor too Amazon deforestation, and cattle ranching being behind 80% of it) aren’t factored in
