And I can start smoking, do it for six months and not feel much issues.
Also, WRT to eating meat, I think there are a lot of issues in the same way there are issues with eating plant foods, i.e. due to the unhealthy/unnatural conditions. That's why I'm a big proponent in Regenerative Ranching/Farming. Not at all the same as the USDA run program of Organic Foods, nor is it the same as many types of "Grass Fed" beef.
Simple fact is, we are omnivores. I think all these diets of Carnivore, Fruitarian, etc.,,, Vegan is more about ideology, than rational thought.

There is no reason whatsoever, expect for one's own desire, to be a on diet consisting solely of meat. What is possible does not make it necessary.
I share the same concerns about meat, in fact I never feel great on supermarket meat and I find that I'm very sensitive to histamine. For protein and fat I mostly stick to eggs and cheese that I can find from farms, and a lot of small fish. However, whenever I see interesting cuts of meat at the farmers' market, I go for them.
I think that a good practice, which many traditional Greek families do to this day, is to buy a couple of animals from a farm, usually a sheep and a goat, have them slaughtered fresh on site, portioned, and then they put them in the freezer for the year. Some more meat will arrive in the form of game meat from relatives, some other meat like minced meat for some moussaka will come from the butcher.
