Could someone quote from the book the claim on longevity or "All Cause Mortality" that this post is refuting?
The book is primarily about correlating the Western diet and animal protein with some western diseases.
There is no data here about the central claims of the book.
I read the book and don't remember the specific claims about longevity. I wouldn't be surprised if he found a correlation with longevity, though.
The US NIH found that Seventh-Day Adventists tend to live 4-10 years longer than the general population on a primarily vegetarian diet.

The large scale "Nurses Study" and the "Health Professionals Follow-up Study" also correlated plant-based diets with decreased risk of death.

Also important, plant-rich diets are one of the top solutions for climate change ( https://www.drawdown.org/solutions-summary-by-rank https://www.drawdown.org/solutions-summary-by-rank ). That's another great reason to scale back animal protein consumption.
