The problem is not so much the consequences themselves, but that the consequences may never be apparent to the average person. It's a cultural change that is occurring very slowly, and consequences to one's health usually don't manifest until later in life. You don't eat a Beyond Booger and suddenly experience systemic inflammation in a noticeable way. Even when a person's health is gradually failing, they can become accustomed to being obese, lethargic, diabetic, and so on. Even if they go to a doctor, that doctor is unlikely to know anything about nutrition, so they will recommend a combination of contraindicated plant material and pills.
The only hope we have is that future generations become hip to things like PUFAs and antinutrients, and that preceding generations stuck believing that meat is bad will become less relevant. Maybe that can happen, but then younger generations still have to contend with the corporate-globalist charlatan complex telling them pure bullshit like meat being bad for the climate and enacting "meatless Mondays."
- FollowingTheDao 4y agoI literally can die happy knowing that someone else sees this as I do. I will add that it all started with capitalism and exploration moving countless peoples around the globe to place that were not genetically suited for them. Like the African Americans and it suddenly being appreciated that their Vitamin D levels are crushed by living in places like Detroit. Or with increased understand of what happens when the Inuit are subjected to a western diet adn how their genetics play a role. Yes, they woudl probably tell an Inuit to become vegan to protect their heart!
