Advantages & Disadvantages

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Advantages

Can be useful for those who do not intend to dip into cooking
Arguably, it is easier to stay satiated, because you can simply eat the corpses of many creatures that you kill, rather than taking time to build a campfire
Makes it a bit easier to get the Eat an Entire Bear achievement

Disadvantages

Prevents the player from gaining access to many powerful Cooking effects. For example, the player cannot gain Psychometry by cooking sun-dried bananas
Causes the player to become ill for 2 hours when they eat non-meat foods, halting natural regeneration and making healing items half as effective

Food that is considered Meat

Food that contains plants or fungus

Trivia

Carnivorous replaced the Ravenous defect as part of the cooking and hunger rework.^[1]
Carnivorous was previously a 1-point physical mutation (not a defect), but was changed to a defect after the mutation balance overhaul (Patch 2.0.201.44)^[2]
