    Claims that eliminating animal source foods would reduce GHG emissions never address the offset that would occur by replacing the animal foods with non-animal foods. It is almost as if they think that non-animal foods just appear magically without any GHG emissions.

      All ghg is produced by bacteria, whether in a cow or in the ground the gas is a = amount because that grass will still be decomposed., in fact market vegetable cultivation kills more soil bacteria than restorative cattle farming due to contact with air during tilling and heavy fertilising, pesticides etc. organic grown doesn’t change that.

Most are Type 2 Diabetics who don’t know what to eat or are just non-compliant. We are required to educate them, but they don’t listen, don’t care, don’t believe that they can get better because they’ve been told they have a Chronic Progressive Disease. 😣

And with the collapse of civilization, forget about "researching" on the internet, and you will die in ignorance.

I eat beef, pork, chicken, seafood, fish, cheese and eggs. I refused to take statins, described by my provider as "life-saving medication"; he wanted me to take it although I had no signs of heart disease other than what he considered high cholesterol. My cholesterol is under 300, which is the old standard; my blood pressure is textbook-perfect; my EKGs are normal, and my calcium score is 3.

    None of this is an issue, it is the release of sequested carbon and the rate at which it is added to the atmosphere which is the problem. Natural carbon is not a problem, because animals, fires from wood burning has been occurring for millenia, but the captured carbon coming into the system from deep deposits at a incredible rate without recapture is the true cause.

Ethanol is not made from by-products. It creates by-products.

      I haven't seen that particular video, but I am 100% comfortable saying that it is, no doubt, based on an epidemiological study and a twisting of the actual results, because this is where nearly all nutrition claims come from. Epidemiological studies can ONLY suggest association, they can never prove causation. This is the primary way these studies are abused to serve certain agendas. They are population studies based on Food Frequency Questionnaires, which are notoriously poor evidence. This is why people are rightfully confused by the constantly changing nutrition headlines. In fact, the media makes it even worse by writing headlines that don't even accurately reflect the claims of the study. They just go for the headline that will get them clicks.
