I personally love many vegetables,fruits and grains.I also love chicken,beef,pork and lamb (not a big seafood fan).
Even if it's true that eating "vegan" would let me live longer I won't do it.To me,quality of life is at least as important and quantity of life and a nice juicy steak adds enormously to quality of life.
Good, I hope all Leftist lunatics give up meat, it will only lower the price for sane people.
i watched a bit of this a while back and was flabbergasted at the blatant lies being told. The most egregious one was that eating meat and animal fat causes diabetes and that a grain-based diet does not.
We used to Criminally and Civilly Prosecute people for Blatant Fraud such as this, put them in Prison and Take all their Assets from their Fraud.

There is no greater scam in the world today than the blatant and outrageous lies told to everyone from school age onward over the last 40+ years when it comes to diet, exercise, health and various risk factors associated with same. The root of the scam goes back even further, but it really became evident with the so-called “food pyramid” which emphasized refined starches (breads and “white vegetables”) and claimed that fats were bad for you and should be limited.
Then, the scam evolved. Only saturated fats were bad, so it was claimed. The rest weren’t so bad. And of course what we all heard was to eat more “natural”, meaning vegetables — mostly.
We were also told that weight was all about calorie balance. In .vs. out, thus the exhortation to exercise — to increase the “out” and to restrict calories, in order to decrease the “in.”
This may sound easy and is demonstrably, if you can stuff someone in a lab, it might actually appear to work.
But it doesn’t work out in the real world — ever.
It doesn’t work because the advice on what to eat was all a lie and the people who ran it knew it was a lie — especially for people with any sort of metabolic derangement. Of course before there were insulin and drugs if you became diabetic you had two choices: Stop eating carbohydrates or die from the effects of the disease — and probably quite quickly too.

Demolishing Lies On Low Carb Eating*

The medical industry doesn’t want you to read this.
Nor does the food industry.
But you should read it, and let it sink in.
That leaves CARBS—the basis of the US Govt food pyramid that not only made us fat but started our children on an early path to obesity and diabetes! Think that these things must be sponsored by Kraft and other grain-based food companies. Yep, take meat off the approved list for food stamps, but leave on Oreos, Coke, mac and cheese, and potato chips.
They went so far as to say any pollution that got into the water supply at any level made any fish toxic.
It was really over the top fearmongering that I lasted 10 minutes on.
I was reading a thread last week right here on Free Republic, and someone suggested the book ‘The Obesity Code’. I downloaded it on my kindle, and it’s been an eye opener, for sure. While I knew probably 75% of what’s in the book already, the volume of info presented to back up the science is fascinating. Have always been fascinated with this kind of stuff, and am nowhere near what anyone would call fat, or even chubby. However, my family is prone to diabetes on both sides, so I like to stay up to speed on this stuff. It also helps with my arthritis if I stay away from processed crap/carbs/etc. Now if they could only make a beer without carbs....
I don’t give a damn what they eat, just don’t try to tell ME what to eat.
