Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?

1 the amount of beef I eat is not a major contributer to the problem. No matter how hard I try. The actual major contributors what to distract people by telling them that they can make the difference. They can’t. 2 I don’t like plants… 3 the way the grow plants for food is also terrible for earth

Plants actually cause a lot of health problems. For example…

Wheat and other forms of gluten happened to strip Vitamin B3, causing schizophrenia

Seed oils mess up your brain in ways I can’t even imagine

Cow’s milk is unnecessary due to the way it’s pasteurized, as unpasteurized, raw milk (goat’s milk is really fantastic for my needs) is actually good for you (which is why it’s banned in some countries).

Soy is good at kickstarting the transgendering process, as it alters the estrogen-testosterone balance (for males, it ups estrogen, where testosterone is upped for females who eat soy a lot)

Refined sugars actually cause a lot of issues, like diabetes (it dries up the liver), cancer (refined sugars are an excellent food source for parasites and polyps), obesity (sugar gets turned into visceral fat, and causes one to gain that), and a myriad of other issues.

Do we see why I tend to eat beef a lot, and avoid these feed ingredients whenever I eat certain plants?

  You started out decent, then went off the deepend. You are connecting plants to refined sugars in the end. An apple (from a plant) has no refined sugar. No plants do. And the milk thing sounds like a conspiracy theory. They ban raw milk because if it isn’t handled correctly, it can make you sick. While this is a bit of an over reach, in most places it started long before thier was an industry to protect.

    What you did was take my comment slightly out of context. Fruit doesn’t have refined sugars, though they have fructose (which is a sugar that’s unrefined). If someone eats fruit, and they’re not of the body type to do that, health problems could arise from it. What I was doing was paraphrasing from studies I’ve read on each of the things here that I’ve gone ahead and researched myself.
    
    As for the milk thing, why do you think an Amish farmer was being railroaded for selling raw milk? That’s because raw milk, when handled properly, is fantastic for the body without the need for it to be pasteurized. That’s what he was doing, and daddy government didn’t like that one bit, so they wanted to pull a ritual on him just to ensure they get the message of “raw milk bad”. The goat’s milk cheese I eat comes from raw goat milk, and I do fine with it, in my experience. Your mileage may vary.

The major contributors only sell what people buy. They won’t stop so long as there’s money to be made. And most plants grown for food go to feed animals.

You don’t like plants because you’re a big baby.

So yeah, your arguments suck.
