When it comes to competitive shooters, many fans enjoy learning everything they can about the varying pro players. Call of Duty is no exception as each of the iconic pro teams, and their Call of Duty players are extremely unique individuals. Despite this, FPS star has shocked fans with his unusual diet.
Many people are familiar with the "paleolithic diet" that mimics the food accessible to cavemen during ancient times. This usually is composed of fruits, nuts, vegetables, and fish as its main components. While this is a standard diet for many Call of Duty pro players, one name has risen above with his unique interpretation.
FPS competitor @BlazenBrady has recently risen to the top of viral news with his interpretation of the classic diet plan. His "raw primal diet" was originally thought to be a joke, but he is not exaggerating with his choice of meals. Blazen enjoys eating primarily raw meat and animal products, including chicken and beef, as main ingredients. The Call of Duty competitor shared an image of his "raw primal" diet to Twitter, with many fans immediately sharing their disgust in the comments.
On his plate is a week-old steak, bacon, chicken breast, and raw butter alongside a glass of unpasteurized milk. In response to a challenge on whether or not he actually eats this meal, he recorded a video of him eating a piece of raw chicken, claiming that it doesn't taste bad. While some fans believe it is possible that he is trolling, others believe he is dead serious.
Many iconic Call of Duty professionals and community members have replied to this Tweet. Call of Duty League analyst Anthony 'NAMELESS' Wheeler Tweeted the post to Gordon Ramsay alongside a gif of the famed chef shouting "raw" at another cook. This is only one of many mixed reactions as fans call out what they believe to be an unhealthy eating habit.
On Twitter, Call of Duty coach @Willett_ comments on how hard it is to salt and paper the chicken and just grill it. The health benefits of having food raw as opposed to cooking it are brought into question. Many fans are more concerned for the pro player's health as opposed to their own disgust at the meal.
The CDC states that chicken is a nutritious food, but if eaten raw, it can have the risk of Salmonella bacteria. Eating undercooked chicken and other foods can result in foodborne illness and other problems. While the Call of Duty pro disagrees, citing controversial theories about cooking meat as his source, there is a safety factor that must be considered. Although he is clearly convinced by the diet, fans are recommended to cook their food to appropriate temperatures before consumption.
