You have not addressed my counter-argument. I'm not interested in defending "meat-based diets". I'm simply attacking your pseudo-medicine. > We have a society whose delusions cause diseases and destruction around the world. If I was wrong, there wouldn't be so many brilliant scientists, doctors, artists, and entrepreneurs on this same train of thought. Argumentum ad populum. > Yoga, meditation, plant-based diet have all played a major part in creating [...] computers and the internet. This is probably the most absurd statement I've read all week.

"Your pseudo-medicine"? lol. I never claimed anything as mine and last I checked Indians are very involved in the medical field. I'm not interested in discussing this with you, I have work to do. Things don't have to be this or that, they can be both. You obviously are looking for an argument because you missed my original points in the original comment. You obviously don't know your Bay Area history. ;)

  "Your" as in "the one you brought up". What does history or the Bay Area have to do with this discussion?

    What did I bring up again? I'm confused what this about at this point. I feel like you are trying to create cognitive dissonance where there is none.

      I'm talking about Ayurveda. To recap: you claimed that meat-based diets and pharmaceuticals cause more harm (in absolute terms) than Ayurveda, and I countered that the comparison is invalid because Ayurveda is practiced at a scale that's simply incomparable.
