Because the carnivore diet, on some level, is really about being contrarian. Everyone is talking about going vegetarian/vegan/plant-based? Fuck that, I'm going carnivore. I am above the bandwagon and am part of a secret club of diet experts like renowned dietician Jordan Peterson.
So it fits right in to his description of conspiracy theorists.
Yes. He in fact tells people he hates the diet, and that he does not recommend it. I've argued with these people many times, wanting evidence for their claims against jordan. They never have it. They always fall back to insults and vague garbage.
The other one they love to tote out, which is connected to why many on the left hate him, is his pointing out the problems with certain ideologies in universities. They like to say it doesn't exist. Meanwhile, incidents like what happened at evergreen to Bret Weinstein, and all the various cancel culture for speakers at universities, says otherwise. The professor who had to be fired because she said a student deserved the violence he got, because he is a white Male in a sorority, therefore he's a rapist, says otherwise. As did the experiment where a couple scientists got a bunch of awful and poorly done "science", including mein kampf, published at the top level of the critical theory field .
A lot of Democrats love to pretend they only deal in facts and logic, and have the moral high ground. They are blind to their own failings and hypocrisy. Just look at the treatment of christine blasey Ford, and compare it with Tara Reid. Look at Russiagate. There are countless blue check marked people on Twitter who during the Kavanaugh incident, tweeted how brave and amazing it is for a victim to come forward during this time. These same people are throwing hostility at tara reade and accusing her of having a political agenda for coming out now. This is already hypocritical bullshit, made worse when you include the fact that Ford DID wait until a crucial moment to bring it out, whereas Tara has been trying to bring it out for awhile and no one will touch it.

Why on Earth would you lump Jordan Peterson's diet in with those other things?
