Comment on Why is the consumption of Meat considered bad

I think we shouldn’t go vegan altogether, instead limit our meat consumption more, for health purposes too. that being said the evidence for cancer ties is not convincing at all and the WHO is freaking trippin balls for putting it together with plutonium.

I went vegan. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m healthier, happier, and I’m helping animals and the environment. I also eat better, because it forces me to be aware of what’s in my food and make more creative meal choices.

I don’t understand what you wrote about the WHO and plutonium.

  basically iirc the who cathegorized meat as bad as plutonium in terms of cancer risk but like last time I ate plutonium my skin was liquefying before my eyes and that never happened with meat. that being said, the choice of going vegan is not for everyone. for some it will be dire on their mind and dire on their health. physiology changes from person to person.

This is a very important point. Eating some meat isn’t inherently bad for the environment. Eating TOO MUCH meat is TERRIBLE for the environment, and not very good for you.

Meat used to be a fancy treat for most families, an expensive meal for special occasions. Eating a heaping portion of meat for every meal is fucking ridiculous, but that’s exactly what many people do.
