What's great about this is that everyone learns one way or another....
Then again, some people can't take a hint.
Like people with lung cancer that don't stop smoking.

My mother got cancer and stopped smoking.
My Dad, to support her, did the same.
As the cancer got worse he started smoking again to relieve the stress and because he was hooked.
Then he got heart failure. I remember him throwing the cigarettes across the room. He said he had tried to quit but couldn't, it had too big a hold on him.
Some people manage to quit but for others its just not possible.

My dad had his first heart attack at 46. I am 62 and still waiting for my first one although I do have a heart murmur.

Apologies if that struck a nerve. Best of health to you!

Article from today:
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/...beef-cuts-carbon-footprint-surprising-amount/

Quotes:
"The evidence is clear regarding the need to shift diets to less meat and more plant-based proteins for both health and environmental reasons, says study co-author Martin Heller of the University of Michigan Center for Sustainable Systems at the School for Environment and Sustainability."
...
"A diet rich in plant-based foods and with fewer animal source foods confers both improved health and environmental benefits,” says Walter Willett, of the EAT-Lancet Commission and professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health."

Sorry for quoting this vegan propganda spread by fake news outlets such as National Geographic, Harvard and University of Michigan (sarcasm, ofcourse)
 

I see your regurgitated excrement and raise you a point by point rebuttal.

I doubt you are sorry at all. Why the reverence? Stupid people are everywhere.

"Animal-based foods have a bigger carbon footprint than plant-based foods."
Well, no s#!*. Animals inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants respire carbon dioxide in and oxygen out. Plants need carbon dioxide to grow and multiply. More carbon dioxide in the air, faster they grow and healthier the live. Vegetarians / vegans, please be kind to plants, your food source, by providing more carbon dioxide.

You are suggesting I take seriously the rebuttal of a cattle rancher with the handle @GrassFed, over Harvard, University of Michigan and EAT-Lancet commission on Food, Planet and Health.

While you're at it, let's also forget everything we've learned at EE, CS and Biology classes. It's all been debunked. The Universities are spreading propaganda.

You see cattle ranchers everywhere. Peter is a consultant who is most qualified to comment on these points.

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science? I've done both at university and i do not recall nutrition being mentioned. Yes, universities are deliberately doing biased and flawed research.

This article will give you some feedback on that topic, unless you "really don’t care That much"... :confused:

How much I care is really irrelevant.....my level of curiosity is about 5/10

I find argument for the sake of argument rather a waste of time is what I meant by that previous statement you allude to....all I need is much like that of a cat, a satisfaction of passing curiosity :p
 
Eating meat requires digestive enzymes—and the genes that encode for them—that weren’t immediately inherent in our ancestors. They also needed different anatomy, particularly in their guts to make it happen. At first, our ancestors probably only consumed small amounts of meat, what was leftover as too difficult to get by large predators. This transition may have been helped out by an earlier move to a diet heavy in fat-rich nuts and seeds.
