        I'm not trying to make a statement about veganism, it's just that we have that dedicated community for a reason.

          Yea but that doesn’t mean every vegan post needs to be isolated into the vegan comm. I feel this article belongs as much in the vegan comm, as in science or news. Given that it’s all three.

          Feel free to crosspost it wherever you want tho.

            If this were a link to a science/news site or something, I'd agree, but it's a link to a site literally called "The Vegan Herald".

              So? Does that mean it’s not news? Or science?

                I mean as was pointed out to you it includes diets that include meat as part of the "plant based" group so yeah it is 1) bad science which makes it 2) not news

                anyway I'm going to peace out from this thread because last time I told a vegan I didn't want to be vegan they told me they wanted me dead

                  while in our parlance, plant-based usually means vegan, the definition is quite broad, scientifically. it includes diets that are just "mostly plants", as was the case in this study, in order to contrast it to the standard amerikkkan diet in which people literally eat meat for every meal. (what the hell is wrong with y'all).

                  this doesn't make it "bad science" or "not news" no matter how much carnists want to nitpick and discredit it. either way, my reasoning for going vegan is not because "it makes you healthy!" anyways, its based around morality and opposing the extremely capitalist form of animal "agriculture".

                  tldr - go vegan.

                I think you're being purposefully obtuse.

                Look, I'm not in the mood for an online argument rn, so I'll agree to disagree.
