Yes, support for this is practically unanimous by health research on the topic. Obviously there's orders of 'bad', with processed meats being worse than red meats, and red meats worse than say lean white meats, and the quantity matters too. The whole omnivore argument tends to assume we used to eat tons of meat all the time but it was a rarity until fairly recently in our history.
- dawnerd 5y agoYes, I've seen plenty of these studies but all of them have too many variables at play. Actual proof that meat is bad is very foggy at best. Edit: I'm not arguing either way - I just don't buy into this whole meat is bad for you argument.
- invalidname 5y agoThe argument about processed foods (meat and otherwise) is pretty solid. Red meat... Open to debate. You need to keep in mind that most of our baselines come from the mid 20th century. Where everyone ate meat, so our definition of "healthy" is based on 70 year old averages. The median for "healthy" is a meat eater. My spouse is vegan and super healthy. Yet some of her blood-works are borderline. As far as we can tell it's because she's vegan. It's the stats themselves that are biased against veganism. I think that if the studies were corrected meat eating would look MUCH worse than it does now.
