Yeah you're typically the kind of case that I was referencing.

You're denying a scientific consensus based on a couple isolated "studies". Cherrypicking is not going to lead to any reasonable result.

And then you just start doing some dietary whataboutism, which is something I had yet to witness. Carbs could be deadly, it wouldn't change the fact that meat is bad for health.

You're typically in the second category of what I was mentioning about alcoholics here, the category that refuses to face reality and goes to delude themselves into even believing the opposite of reality, that their addiction is actually good for health.

And on top of that, you conveniently ignored the part where I mention that murdering sentient beings for your personal health and comfort is a pretty immoral take. Once again, not surprised.

Consensus and a huge body of divisive literature are not compatible

Yes, but there's no such huge body. Just a bunch of studies funded by the meat industry, versus overwhelming evidence.

Still waiting for your comment on the morality of having a gigantic industry made to murder sentient creatures, just for the (im)possibility of a potentially slightly better health.

Ahh, thanks for letting me know you didn't actually read the references your arguing against.

I don't care about your moral philosophy - I only care about health.

"I don't care about morals", an opinion shared by the greatest people in the world.

I don't think I have to prove my point any further, you've done a great job of proving that you can't even be a decent human being, so reason is obviously far out of your reach.

It's weird that so many people that would only fit on twitter or facebook end up here... Did you get banned out of both and found lemmy mentioned somewhere?
