Mikhaila Peterson Says The First Thing She Fed Her Baby Was Meat

Mikhaila Peterson, known for her strict carnivore diet, revealed that she fed her baby meat as the first solid food. She stuck to meat for the first three years, primarily fatty beef, before introducing fish and chicken. Peterson believes that starting children off with meat can lead to larger head circumference based on a study from 2006, although this does not mean that a meat-exclusive diet is superior or necessary.

Critics argue that promoting a carnivore diet for children prioritizes animal-sourced foods and may lead to nutrient deficiencies. Some experts believe that childhood eating habits shape lifelong health, and that a balanced, nutrient-dense diet including fortified foods is more beneficial. Peterson has been criticized for promoting various health-related ideas on her podcast, including skepticism towards medical interventions and vaccines. Promoting a diet that excludes essential nutrients for children has raised concerns among health professionals.
