> But there's generally science to back up that a plant based diet it both better for [...] health reasons than a meat based diet

Try reading these nutritional studies and you will see how much bullshit is behind them. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20029519

It still amazes me that people surrender to nutritional authorities, instead of self-experimenting (cf. Asra Conlu on YouTube) and finding out the facts for themselves.

Yeah yeah, the meat industry has quibbles with the WHO study connecting red meat to cancer. Shocker.

You broke the site guidelines here and repeatedly below. Would you please review them and follow them when posting here? One of the main things they're trying to prevent is comments that take threads further into flamewar.

Have you read those studies yet? If not you are wasting your breath away on borrowed beliefs.

I did. It read like a corporate brochure.

I'm referring to the studies behind the "science" you claim to back up that a plant based diet is both better for [...] health reasons than a meat based diet.

Unless you have read those studies, before seeing how much bullshit is behind them, you'd be wasting your breath away on borrowed beliefs.

But then I doubt you are capable of doing it, as even a scientific review appears as "corporate brochure" to you.

If you continue to break the site guidelines like this, we will ban you.

I'll refer you to my last comment to you.

Trust me - I'm considerably more knowledgable on this topic than yourself. Agro industry propaganda always looks the same.

So if you are "more knowledgeable on this topic" than me, why are you continuing to evade my question on whether you have actually read the studies behind the "science" you claim to back up that a plant based diet is both better for health reasons than a meat based diet? Moreover, if you are "more knowledgeable on this topic" than me why is it that a scientific review by Dr. David M Klurfeld appears "like a corporate brochure" to you?
