Another study of adult men from 2006 by Havlíček’s team can offer insights about whether meat makes us more attractive. The scientists looked at 30 men who were either eating a meat or non-meat diet for two weeks. Women rated their scent for their pleasantness, attractiveness, masculinity and intensity. The odour of the men on meat-free diets was on average rated as more attractive, more pleasant and less intense.

I expected garlic to get called out here, but I did not expect that outcome.

I eat a primarily carnivorous diet — I need protein and plant protein will not suffice, for my particular condition (gastric sleeve patient) — with a little bit of carbs/starch. I need more vegetables, and I should target more fibre, but meat is what I go for. Some dairy but I don’t care much for cow milk. I’ll eat cheese, but the cream in my coffee is oat “milk”. I know it’s not milk, but it’s my creamer of choice. (Traditional creamer doesn’t have much cow milk in it, either. It’s mostly oils. Like your “French Vanilla” and “Caramel Macchiato”.

Or, you know, you can take a shower and use cologne, like normal people.
