A zealous vegan who became an influencer in the raw-food movement has made a drastic change to his lifestyle becoming an internet-famous hunter-gatherer teaching people to kill animals for food.<\/p>\n
Daniel Vitalis, 42, gave up meat as a teenager and was vegan for 10 years, becoming a popular speaker espousing the extreme diet.<\/p>\n
He dumped veganism five years ago, however, after reading a book that convinced him animal foods were crucial for a healthy diet telling The Boston Globe that the switch came in the middle of a vegan speaking tour.<\/p>\n
I would get up on stage and unravel the problems with the vegan diet, he told the paper of his new belief-system. Pretty soon I got kicked out of the nest.<\/p>\n
Vitalis soon became equally as zealous about the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, driving with the license plate HNTGTHR, starting a podcast and becoming an online influencer for a completely new crowd.<\/p>\n
Instead of raw-foods, his Instagram now showcases carefully curated images of animals and fish he has killed as well as how he preps them for meals at home in Maine.<\/p>\n
His most recent post even celebrated how he personally caught the lobsters and halibut used to feed guests at his wedding to wife Avani, a French-Canadian teacher.<\/p>\n
Vitalis house in Bridgton is full of skulls and weapons and has freezers packed full of meat from his kills in what the Globe called a vegans nightmare.<\/p>\n
He is now hoping to become an even bigger star with an online video series called Wild Fed that promises to teach people the hunter-gatherer lifestyle.<\/p>\n
There needs to be somebody who gathers this into the modern world, and I care more about getting this message to soccer moms than I do about living in a teepee, he told the Globe of his carefully packaged product.<\/p>\n
What people miss about all this is that Im not into eating bad-tasting food, he told the paper.<\/p>\n
People assume that the reason we stopped eating wild food is because it doesnt taste as good, but thats simply not true. It tastes better and its more nutritious.<\/p>\n
