In reply to the discussion: Red meat plays vital role in diets, claims expert in fightback against veganism [View all]Farmer-Rick
(10,151 posts)The 2 link are about establishing a worldwide diet to reduce CO2.
First, their diet plan is not support by science. The studies done on low carb vs low fat are routinely inconclusive. So if they can't even get studies that agree on which is a better method of getting weight off, how can they say their universal diet is healthy for everyone?
And none of them address the GMO, Round Up drenched, petroleum excess nitrogen fertilizers, pesticides covered and fungicide laced wheat, corn, rice and soy the US ships to feed the world. Those inputs in farming of most vegan foods are ignored and minimized as if all vegetables are raised in organic methods. The mass quantities of vegetative matter we currently produce is not produced without CO2 emitting produced chemicals that are shipped around the world before they end up on pampered easily damaged plants.
Fundamentally those universal diets being pushed by your 2 links still include meat and animal products, are based on science that is still in its infancy, continually ignores CO2 creating chemicals used for farming vegetative matter, and fails to address the CO2 emitted while processing the vegetative matter.
