My wife, someone who eschews beef, pork, chicken (except eggs) in favor of veggies and sea food was quick to point out the report released yesterday regarding the red-meat-will-kill-you research conclusion. I haven’t read the primary research but I expect if I did I would find it filled with the typical scientific caveats common to almost all peer reviewed literature. I also get very suspicion when I read things like this:
“Americans’ love of meat likely accounts for about 1.5 million excess deaths every decade.”
Why are we now reporting everything in decades? I can only think it serves to maximize the terror because that translates to 150K people per year out of a population of 300+ million, a way less scary number. So, when I read the above article I thought I would promote it a bit on my site.
