Thread: YES, MEAT IS SAFE & HEALTHY

Besides being a 'pharmakon', meat is also a 'pharmakos' (scapegoat). As the most symbolic of all foods & as a predilected carrier of meaning, it acts as an adsorbent of societal anxieties. Often presented as scientific 'truth'.

Not.

1/n There is something seriously rotten in contemporary nutrition. The entire chain-of-proof is no longer based on the scientific method but is profoundly corrupted by vested interests and ideological dogma.

Cf. my paper on meat in the post-truth era: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thread: HEALTH RISKS OF 'PLANT-BASED' DIETS

L Keith, ex-vegan, talks about how her diet led to catastrophy on the long run: amazon.com/Vegetarian-Myt…

For ex-vegans on twitter with similar stories, see twitter.com/fleroy1974/lis… - also check out @SBakerMD's #meatheals

1/n First, let's put aside the myth that plant-based makes you healthier. Those claims are based on weak and biased epidemiological associations (RR=0.8-0.9?? - seriously, that's just meaningless).
