I see that you are convinced that meat consumption is detrimental to health. Also health and lifespan are not the same thing.

  My post was addressed at your claim that "Once health is aside, so is sustainability." I believe that I it made clear that this is not the case. Your view is myopic and selfish, as it ignores the very real effects that a meat-eater diet has on other humans and the environment. I did not imply that health and lifespan are the same, and I even addressed them separately. My beliefs are based in well-documented evidence. Eating meat has a strong positive correlation with increased healthcare costs.[1] Whether or not meat has a negative impact on health only has a bearing on the costs of healthcare for meat-eaters, which is a minor point that I mentioned as an aside. It does not have a bearing on the environmental impacts of a meat-eater diet. You are nitpicking minor details of my post. Perhaps instead of vaguely implying that I'm mistaken you should produce evidence that contradicts me.

    Where would you rank eating meat in the order of negative effects humans have on one another and the environment? Is it above or below overpopulation?
