Red meat is linked to a heart disease and some cancers. Comparing that to "each vegetable has a weird side effect" (what?) is intellectually dishonest. Vegetarianism has been given a bad name by "alt medicine" quacks, but reducing red meat consumption is a no brainer.
- jeffdavis 12y ago"Red meat is linked to a heart disease...reducing red meat consumption is a no brainer" "Linked" doesn't mean much (correlated maybe?). But you believe that red meat statistically causes heart disease. Why do you believe that? Is it generally true, or does it only increase the risk for some people?
- wcummings 12y ago"Associated with increased risk" is probably a better way to put it. If you're healthy I don't think anyone is saying "don't eat red meat" but I'd think twice about eating a burger for lunch every day.
