About The Meat Edit
The Meat Edit is an independent publication for people who take meat seriously: cooking it well, buying it smart, training on it, and understanding the research behind it.
We started The Meat Edit in Toronto, Canada because most carnivore content online falls into one of two camps: breathless testimonials or blanket dismissal. We think readers deserve better than both. So we publish five kinds of stories:
- Recipes written for home cooks, with exact weights, temperatures and timings, tested in a real kitchen.
- Research summaries that explain what a study actually measured, what it found, and where its limits are, with every source linked.
- Training: strength programs, the big compound lifts, recovery, and how to train while eating carnivore, grounded in established exercise guidelines.
- Meat 101: cuts and butchery, buying in bulk or from a local butcher, grilling and smoking, hunting and game meat, and the gear worth owning.
- Articles: guides, explainers and essays that help you decide whether this way of eating fits your life.
Who writes it
The Meat Edit is written by a small crew, led by founding editor Mike Hall on the grill, with Hank Steele on training, Jack Thornton on butchery, buying and game, and Cole Brennan on research and budget eating. Our writers publish under pen names, and their bios are written in character. None of us are doctors, dietitians or scientists, and we never claim to be. Meet the writers.
Our editorial standards
- We cite real sources. Every factual health or fitness claim links to the study, review or official guidance it comes from.
- We describe evidence honestly. A survey of enthusiasts is not a clinical trial, and we say so. Each research summary carries an evidence-strength rating.
- We are not your doctor. Nothing here is medical advice. Read our medical disclaimer.
- We correct mistakes. If you spot an error, tell us and we will fix it and note the update.
How we make money
The Meat Edit is free to read. We plan to support it with display advertising (such as Google AdSense). Advertisers never influence what we write, and we will clearly label any sponsored content or affiliate links if we ever use them. See our privacy policy for how ads and cookies work on this site.
