Red Meat is Deadly

Research says that eating meat is a health hazard

Red meat is not only unhealthy but can be positively lethal, according to new research


I think this was front page news. It is about the dangers of “red meat” - this is the link

The beginning of the text reads, “Red meat is not only unhealthy but can be positively lethal, according to new research... Each additional daily serving of processed red meat, equivalent to one hot dog or two rashers of bacon, raised the chances of dying by a fifth.”

Dr. Roger Yates of Vegan Ireland said that this news is not really news for the vegan community who are well aware of the health benefits of a vegan diet, even if the Vegan Ireland position is more about the moral justification for veganism.

It is time we started thinking seriously about our meat and dairy-heavy diets.
