Scientists Say Meat Is Crucial To The Human Diet – Warn Against Vegan ‘Zealotry’

Dozens of experts were asked to look into the science behind claims that meat eating causes disease and is harmful for the planet in a special issue of a journal called Animal Frontiers.

They have warned against a widespread societal push towards plant-based diets, arguing that poorer communities with low meat intake often suffer from stunting, wasting and anemia driven by a lack of vital nutrients and protein.

Thousands of scientists across the globe have also joined The Dublin Declaration, a group stating that livestock farming is too important to society to “become the victim of zealotry.” They say that many of the negative claims about meat in our diet are simply not true.

The Dublin Declaration group has published a statement allowing global signatories to join them in defending meat supported diets and contradicting common claims made by establishment institutions against livestock in agriculture. In particular, the scientists stress that meats provide vitamin B12 intake in human diets, play a major role in supplying retinol, omega-3 fatty acids and minerals such as iron and zinc, as well as important compounds for metabolism, such as taurine and creatine. There is no vegan equivalent that fills these nutritional needs and a number of supplements are often required to keep them healthy.

Scientists note that only well resourced (wealthier) people have the means to abandon meat in their diets and consume vegetables and carbs alone. In other words, veganism is a first world ideology that is impractical for the majority of global population. Even India, a developing nation often cited by anti-meat activists for it’s religious stance against killing animals, still has a 70% meat eating population.

Previous studies (such as the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factor Study, published in The Lancet in 2020) warning against the “dangers” of meat are also being debunked. Dr Alice Stanton, of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, one of the authors of a review of anti-meat claims, notes:

“The peer-reviewed evidence published reaffirms that [the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Risk Factors Report] which claimed that consumption of even tiny amounts of red meat harms health is fatally scientifically flawed…In fact, removing fresh meat and dairy from diets would harm human health. Women, children, the elderly and low income would be particularly negatively impacted.”

The anti-meat movement most likely finds its roots in astroturf. Pro-vegan research tends to be funded by globalist institutions like the UN and the WEF, which have made clear that they want meat to become a “rare treat” rather than a dietary staple.

This would be accomplished by a number of means, but a primary tool would be emissions taxation on farmers and agricultural products leading to artificially higher prices. The UN hopes to ward much of the populace away from meat by making it unaffordable. This is similar to the tactic they have recommended for pushing people away from “fossil fuels.” If price is a problem and you still need protein, the globalists suggest fake meat (which is more expensive than real meat for now), or shifting to a third world diet and eating bugs instead.

The UN says its goal is to enforce a completely meat and dairy free human diet by 2050 in order to “fight climate change,” though they have been caught in the past greatly exaggerating how much livestock methane contributes to overall emissions. Even if you believe that there is a real climate crisis (despite there being no evidence to support the hype), there is still the fact that livestock emissions are a negligible portion of supposed “greenhouse gases.” You wouldn’t be accomplishing anything to save the planet by becoming vegan.

When climate hysteria is not effective, the same groups try to frighten people away from meat using fraudulent health concerns. We have seen this lately in the meat issue as well as with natural gas appliances. Baseless health risk claims are promoted using the corporate media as an amplifier, and the evidence proving the claims wrong is never addressed.

Without regular access to meat vast numbers of people may be dependent on manufactured supplements to stay healthy. Much of these supplements are produced in countries overseas that may become hostile and cut off exports. Not to mention, governments could also control the supplies for their own citizens as leverage. The price factor for foods would make sustaining the current population untenable, leading to either mass starvation or deliberate population reduction.

Rand Paul: ‘Gender Affirming Surgery’ “Is A Mutilation”

“Universally around the world we were opposed to this… and now we have the opposite.”

Senator Rand Paul has slammed the Democrat governor of Kentucky after it was revealed that the state has been allowing trans surgeries on children to take place.

During a Fox News interview, Paul described ‘gender affirming care’ as a “terrible, terrible approach,” to dealing with “psychiatric illnesses.”

“We have got a controversy going on in Kentucky right now in our governor’s race, our Democrat incumbent Andy Beshear has said well, I’m not for the surgery but it doesn’t really happen in Kentucky. Then we got a letter from the University of Kentucky saying yeah they have been doing surgery this reassignment surgery on children, on minors and he was caught in a lie,” Paul explained.

The Senator continued, “They’re running with their hair on fire away from this,” adding “There are other issues we are dealing with here, there are psychiatric illnesses, and comorbidities that need to be treated,” Paul said, adding Instead, we are saying cut off part of your body and you’ll be better.”

“The Democrats kind of want to call it something that it’s not. They got really mad at me at a committee hearing when I called it genital mutilation,” Paul further noted, adding “Universally around the world we were opposed to this. We were opposed to it in Africa when they were doing it. The U.N., everybody was working to stop it and now we have the opposite.”

“We have clinics set up where we are affirming this and encouraging this to happen to our children. It doesn’t work. It is a mutilation. It destroys their urinary tract system. It gives them no sexual pleasure as an adult. It’s a terrible, terrible thing to let your child do or let anybody do to your child. It really shouldn’t happen,” Paul urged.

He continued, “They think it’s all benign but in the case of the transgender surgeries, a half a dozen European countries have banned it in children because they have a long-term experience and actually discovered after following these people 10, 15, 20 years after the surgery that the incidence of suicide is 20 times greater in those who have had the surgery than the general public.”

Watch:

Democrats are playing dumb about child sex change operations and now these surgeries are being facilitated in secret.

Video: Morons Think OBESITY Is Healthy

Majority refuse to say being fat is bad for you

People in Washington DC now seem to believe that being grossly overweight is healthy.

“Man vs. Street” host Malik Lahrim surveyed people in the area, asking them if they think obese singer Lizzo is healthy.

“Fuck yeah, she’s vegan,” replied one respondent, claiming that “she is active on TikTok” and “working out.”

Another respondent stated “Everyone has different body types” and “it doesn’t matter how you look so long as you’re healthy.”

Others argued that obesity is down to genetics.

Only one guy had any common sense and correctly equated obesity with being unhealthy, noting “if you actually care about people don’t lie to them,” noting that being overweight means “you’re going to die sooner.”

Pink Slime Returns: Viral TikTok Video Exposes Disturbing Production Of Sliced Ham

By now, many Americans should be aware that at some point, they’ve unknowingly chowed down on “pink slime” meat. This culinary horror first rocked the pages of The New York Times in 2009 and several other times in recent years. We’ve noted “The Return Of Pink Slime” and “Is There Meat Glue In Your Food?” and “American Fast-Food Chains Use Seaweed, Soy, And Even Wood To Beef Up Menu Items.”

A study published in 2022 in the British medical journal, The BMJ, found processed and ultra-processed meats, such as ham, bacon, salami, hotdogs, beef jerky, and corned beef, can significantly increase men’s risk of colorectal cancer and other diseases and even increase early death in both men and women.

“We found that men in the highest quintile of ultra-processed food consumption, compared to those in the lowest quintile, had a 29% higher risk of developing colorectal cancer,” stated co-senior author Fang Fang Zhang, a leading cancer epidemiologist and the head of the nutrition epidemiology and data science division at Tufts University’s Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy in Boston.

The effects of ultra-processed foods are pretty obvious — look at the American people — morbidly obese and full of health problems. Knowing the health ramifications of the chemicals mega corporations put in the food should be a national priority — but it’s not.

While we don’t want to spoil dinner, the latest viral video of pink slime was posted on TikTok. It shows what appears to be a ham operation.

Over 20,000 users weighed in on the video, with the vast majority expressing concern about the country’s food supply and speculating on how the chemicals in processed foods might be harming them.

@thatafricanchick2 I dont want to believe this#😮#😳#ham #fake #food #blacktiktok #woah ♬ Breaking News – Breaking News

Meanwhile, there’s this… Corporate America Bombards Black People With Junk Food Ads. Not ESG-friendly?

It may be time for some folks to realize their health problems are partly due to diet. Break the food matrix, find a local farm, and source food locally — or better, grow your own food. Isn’t it time to know what’s exactly in your food?

But don’t worry. Big corporations will solve the fat crisis with the newly created miracle fat drug.

Why aren’t ESG-ers going after companies producing processed and other junk foods?
