    1. Carnivore super power
    2. I've been doing Carnivore for almost a month (I love it). I air-fry my bacon, and it comes out lovely. After a few days, I noticed there was a decent amount of fat at the base of the air fryer. I guess this is pork fat - how can I use it? Cook with it? Or am I better off throwing it away? Thanks
    3. Why is there a pattern recognition/specific profile around the strict hyper-carnivore movement?
