Man who vows by raw meat diet horrifies viewers with plan for his kids

A man who only eats raw meat has horrified viewers by his plans to make his children do the same.

Weston, who originally starred on TLC’s My Strange Addiction: Still Addicted?, claims he has eaten more than 4300 pounds of raw meat over four years.

Not only does that include raw spleens, kidneys and livers, but he’s also been eating raw chicken.

And having already horrified Celebrity Gogglebox stars, Weston left This Morning presenters Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley absolutely stunned, and warning viewers not to try it at home.

While Dr Zoe explained the dangers of his diet, Weston revealed he eats around 2lbs of raw meat every day, and has vowed it has helped him overcome skin problems and brain fog.

After taking matters of his health conditions into his own hands, he’s eaten hundreds of raw chickens over the years, despite the threat of food poisoning including Salmonella.

It is advised to always cook all poultry to avoid food poisoning, that can be fatal.

However, Weston isn’t alone in his diet, and his wife also eats raw meat with him.

And if that wasn’t shocking enough, he plans for his children to as well.

When asked what he will do when he has a young family, Weston replied: ‘They’re going to be eating with us too, for sure. We’ll all be eating that way.’

Dr Zoe concluded the segment saying: ‘During pregnancy, this is not safe, and for children as well, they can’t get all the nutrients they need from animals alone.’

Viewers were horrified, with some threatening to call charity Childline over the ‘safeguarding alert’ when Weston said his children would be eating raw meat.

‘Giving the kid raw meat no just no,’ @Boppity_Boo34 said, while @fuzzybeepants said: ‘Stop with the raw meat bloke it’s knocking me sick.’

‘Pity help the family dear lord are they all eating raw meat,’ @Itt39354118 added.

Others slammed This Morning over the segment, with @mason_becc15973 saying: ‘We really should not be giving this character airtime. Eating raw chicken is absolutely ridiculous and ill advised. I’m wondering what he’s aiming for with all the carry on #thismorning.’

@NicklessKa76058 echoed: ‘Irresponsible showing this mad American eating raw chicken. Dr Zoe has explained why it’s not safe, so why on earth have him on in the first place?!’

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1.
