Nebraska resident Weston Rowe has been consuming a raw meat-based diet, including raw chicken, for the last three years — and has no plans to stop.

Rowe, 39, eats raw, protein-rich foods such as beef, liver, chicken and other animal organs. All products are locally sourced from dairy and poultry farms.

“I am in better health both physically and mentally, better than I’ve ever been in my life,” Rowe told Caters News Agency. He no longer eats processed foods and spends about $140 a week on his meals.

He explained he changed his diet when he started feeling brain fogginess, decreased energy and eczema. However, one food group has caused much controversy in Rowe’s diet. Raw chicken has been linked to salmonella, but Omaha-based Rowe claimed he has “eaten hundreds of pounds of raw chicken and I have never even gotten close to being sick.

“It is very controversial, but I believe that raw meat has a natural balance of bacteria on it which works symbiotically with our bodies and serves a purpose,”

His lunch is his largest meal of the day — he eats one pound of raw meat with a half-pound of raw, unsalted butter and three or four raw eggs. Another piece of fruit is also added to the mix. For dinner, Rowe eats the same meal with a cooked potato, “which is probably the only real thing I eat these days that is cooked,” he admitted.
