Some consumers may choose veganism, or a pescatarian diet, but meat, eggs and milk, offer crucial sources of much-needed nutrients which cannot easily be obtained from plant-based foods, a new report issued on Tuesday by the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization says.
I read through the pdf (I'm weird like that). I find it odd how the full article minimises deforestation and climate change, all the while over focusing on fixable nutritional issues. (like we can suppliment B12 and iron). The pdf devotes many pages quoting the limitations from studies confirming cardiovascular diseases in meat consumption, but takes quick and dirty takes from studies on veg diets without the same apology.
The ok health consequences of veg diets has been written about and confirmed in depth by many national health authorities. One thing I can't help notice is that (as far as I can tell), the authors are all agriculture experts and no one is in medicine. Many/most of them are connected to animal agriculture. See here and here.
No. See.
Eating meat is good for nutrients. If you try to argue against it, you’re being a gringo westerner who doesn’t care about poor people. There is no way to improve nutrition in the global south except by eating meat.
Climate Change? No no no, that’s not going to effect the global south at all because the meat will give them fucking superpowers.
carnists just want to eat burger
and if you tell them burger is bad then you're a fascist
