I'm not taking health advice from an Axios article. Nor am I taking health advice from the USDA.

what about common sense?

Same advice given in the word of wisdom but… he is not going to hear it.

You can follow the WOW and be in horrific shape.

Samsonite

And? Just saying the advice to eat plants and less meat is not controversial

Baron

Dec 11, 7:36pm

That it’s not good advice at all

Samsonite

Generally agree. More protein. Less sugar. Fewer carbs. Were obese because we

Yep. Meat fills you up and gives you nutrients. Less addictive and not as easy to snack all day on. It is 100% not

Over consumption of meat might be hurting us in some other ways - maybe heart

Jay Rick

Eating meat is not bad for your heart. Fat is good for your body. It’s needed.

Samsonite

Cardiovascular disease is correlated with an increase in meat consumption worldwide, not just in America.

In no world apparently can you ever need to have less meat according to Samsonite. He knows more than

Baron

I’ll bet you believe in the food pyramid too. Trust the experts!!!

Samsonite

6:23am

No. I believe you can eat too much meat.

Baron

6:27am

Well keep pounding the sugar and processed garbage I guess.

Samsonite

6:30am

Well as anyone knows, saying you can have too much meat does not mean that. The complete lack of logic to reach that

Baron

6:34am

Meat is not causing you to be fat. It’s processed, modern food. I’ll keep saying it.

Samsonite

6:36am

Fine. I expect no less. Someday you may actually respond to words I have said.

Baron

Comes from processed food, sugar, and sedentary lifestyle. 100% not meat.

Samsonite

Literally studied in non Western countries where they don't have processed foods.

Meat is not causing the obesity epidemic at all.

Samsonite

Dec 11, 7:01pm

Research says meat is associated with obesity.

runnincoug

Dec 11, 8:26pm

Carbs, processed food, and sugar. Eat as much meat and veggies and fruit as you want. It’s not hard.

Samsonite

Dec 11, 9:34pm

That's your opinion but not what the research says that I just shared

runnincoug

Dec 11, 9:52pm

Right. Because government funded research about diet is never wrong. I eat a lot of meat and have 11% body fat.

Samsonite

Dec 11, 9:54pm

I don't eat much meat and I'm trim too. See that's why we need research

runnincoug

Dec 11, 10:17pm

Meat is not the problem.

Samsonite

5:55am

And your research evidence is....? Opinions matter more then research?

runnincoug

I wonder if a lot of that is burgers?

UNLVcougar

I’m sure it’s people eat lots of meat and tons of garbage as well.

He’s not taking that either. He prefers his sense uncommon

I don't think eating meat is what is leading to obesity.

Meat and if obesity is actually bad are now political issues.
