Meat has a bad reputation. Most people think of meat, especially red meat, as dangerously unhealthy. However, meat has unique properties that make it more nutritious, easier to digest, and less likely to irritate your body than vegetables. Does the science behind meat-phobia hold up under the microscope?

TLDR - Yes, meat is healthy - eat it.

      wasn’t super bad for the environment

      Good news! Ruminant meat is part of the biosphere, and is essential in maintaining soil health.

      conceptually feed eight billion people a carnivore diet.

      Let’s make progress, we don’t have to worry about perfection right now, lets make sure everyone in the global south has access to at least one egg a day.

          Please add the rapid depletion of top soil to your list - which has a very sustainable solution that involves embracing the natural biocycle.

              Do you know how many resources the world is spending taking care of nearly a billion type 2 diabetes every year? A sick population is a expensive population .

              Much less the absolute ecological insanity of suggesting a carnivore diet.

              It’s a tool, a very powerful health tool, and should not be diminished or hidden from people for philosophical reasons.

                  I think there’s a false equivalence happening. Diabetes is not necessarily caused by a plant based diet or a reduced meat diet.

                  Type 2 diabetes is caused by persistently elevated insulin over a long period of time, which happens because of persistently high blood glucose levels over a long period of time, which is caused by persistently high carbohydrate consumption over a long period of time. Carbohydrates only come from plants. So yes, Type 2 Diabetes is a plant based diet problem. To be fair, there are many whole food plant based diets that don’t result in type 2 diabetes, but this is not a danger of a fully animal based eating pattern .

                  Update - Technically there is a miniscule amount of carbohydrates in meat in glycogen stores, but not enough to matter.
