Why Western diet? Cultures other than western eat meat
- ben_w 9y agoWestern diets have more meat and less plant material. Meat consumption (and plant consumption) isn’t boolean-valued, unlike (for example) vegetarianism.
- nugget 9y agoIn this context I wonder whether the problem is meat per se, or the heavily processed nature of much of the meat consumed in the West.
- keenerd 9y agoModern "western" meat is very lightly processed compared to what we were eating a hundred years ago. Refrigeration has removed the need for carcinogenic preservatives and has nearly eliminated stomach cancer.
