Liver King is a youtuber who promoted a diet of eating only raw meat and then his popularity fell off when it was leaked that he did steroids.

I think doing steroids if fine if you are honest about it. He was telling people that he got his physique from eating raw meat, which is dishonest.

Yeah that’s fair, I agree. But also, since it’s illegal, I think that not being open about it is okay too as long as you aren’t selling something because of it. And I probably didn’t need to say anything, but I wanted to because I feel like people tend to villainize exogenous hormones unfairly because of baseball or whatever, and I don’t think we should do that here. Which is not to imply that that’s what you were doing, I just thought it was worth mentioning is all.
