OAN: Scientists have recently banded together to warn that meat is essential for a healthy diet, while simultaneously urging those they referred to as “zealots” to quit imposing vegetarian and vegan diets on people.
An initiative that claims cattle farming is too vital to “become the victim of zealotry” has nearly 1,000 academics from top universities across the globe as signers and endorsers.
This knowledge comes at a time when proponents of vegan and plant-based diets are making a much stronger push, with campaigns like “Veganuary” and “Meatless Mondays” that have been adopted at universities and high school cafeterias all throughout the United States.
Numerous experts investigated the evidence supporting recent claims that eating meat is bad for the environment and causes a multitude of diseases, as part of a collaboration effort between professional animal science societies that was published in “Animal Frontiers,” an academic journal.
The four included animal science societies are the American Meat Science Association, the American Society of Animal Science, the Canadian Society of Animal Science, and the European Federation of Animal Science. Animal Frontiers is their official scientific journal.
The medical journal, The Lancet, had reported in the past that a red meat-majority diet was to blame for 896,000 deaths worldwide, in a publication titled “The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factor Study published in 2020.”
Alice Stanton, a professor and scientist from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and one of the authors of the review, indicated that peer-reviewed evidence demonstrated that the Global Burden study’s claim was “fatally scientifically flawed.”
It is now being reported that unprocessed meat provides our bodies with retinol, vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, and crucial minerals such as iron and zinc, according to the published research in Animal Frontiers. MORE HERE
My meat eats vegetables. Call it a draw.
It’s simple.
The animals eat the plants for me.
They concentrate all those veggie vitamins into their muscles.
Then, I eat the animals.
Saves time.
Sorry Tim. Same though.
Cheers.
If God didn’t want us to eat animals he wouldn’t have made them out of tasty meat 🥩!
I was talking to a friend recently that we are going to have meat trees in heaven. Of course, there will be no killing, so what better way to provide us with yummy meat?!
I’ll have mine charcoal grilled, please.
The cellular level is a bitch.
I’m a vegetarian…I only eat GRASS FED BEEF! Pigs don’t count, that’s just bacon and ham!
And hamburger stands too just like in Job, A Comedy of justice by Robert A Heinlein. And of course, Chik-fil A’s according to the Babylon Bee.
Oh the irony!
Fruit cakes pushing their food agendas!
Just think of all the happy chickens, pigs and cattle that would never have a life unless we raised them to be slaughtered and eaten.

I knew this country was going to pot when the “science” claimed that red meat was bad for you.
How the hell could the human race have survived without meat? How many thousands of years have there been shepherders? THEY’RE IN THE BIBLE!
I digress. I guess there have always been morons as well – Sodom & Gamorrah.
Must be cyclic or something…
Meat eaters tend to die of “old.”
Who cares how vegantarians die?

“eating meat is bad for the environment and causes a multitude of diseases,”
Eating meat prevent billions of cow farts and eating vegetables prevents them from removing noxious CO2 from the atmosphere thus contributing to gorebull warming. Also being born is a death sentence.
