The American diet didn't include much meat until after the turn of the century and this also was when cancer began to rear it's ugly head .

My Father was a Doctor, an Oncologist to be exact and by the time he was 50 he stopped eating meat, prolly why he lived to graduate Harvard the _second_ time at age 9- and lived to be 93 .

In the end Squig's arguments are all moot, not only because they're full of dog whistled but the basic fact that as mentioned : meat tastes damn good and we're at the top of the food chain, simple, you're not going to change it much no matter how you bend the statistics .

Yep, this thread went astray but is still (IMO) useful .
