 Just about everyone in first world countries thinks meat is bad for you, and I really don't think our generation is going to leave this planet without holding on to that idea. And whenever any anti-meat news is published, whether you consider propaganda or not, it doesn't really get a lot of blowback. If anything, people tend to support less meat consumption. What people don't know is, when vegans bring up these blue zones, the centenarians, sardinia being one of them. Sardinians obtain about 25-30% of their calories from high-quality grass-fed dairy, particularly goat and sheep milk, and they obtain 5-10% of their calories from high-quality animal foods like pork, lamb, goat, and Americans consume 25-30% of their calcium animal foods. So these Americans actually consume less animal foods than some of these blue zones, and not only that, they're not consuming high-quality animal foods, so they're not getting the nutrition that they need. Just a little contradictory thing that vegans like to bring up. People think Americans eat a lot of meat. We eat a lot of animal foods. We don't. We eat predominantly 70-80% plant foods. So to say humans need to eat less meat and put a tax on meat, what is everyone going to not eat meat, eat 90-95% plants? Is that what people want? There's several problems with this publication. First, the guy who did the research from Oxford University, Marco Springman, is a 10-year vegan. Now, if a 10-year carnivore posted a study saying that kale is bad for you, I think everyone would laugh at him. But this vegan, who is saying processed meat is bad for you, so we should tax all meat. Does that not sound completely crazy to you? Let's understand this study on processed meat. So processed meat is linked to bowel cancer as a carcinogen, and this is completely true because what happens is you add nitrates to the meat to preserve it, and these nitrates interact with a specific dry fire heating process that is used to heat certain sausages and meats, and this specific direct fire dry heating process causes nitrosamines and carcinogens in the meat that are directly linked to bowel cancer. So it's not necessarily that nitrates are bad for you. And I have a whole video explaining if processed meats are carcinogenic. And without a doubt, there is a link between certain processed meats and bowel cancer. But there are explanations for this and to understand the relative risk versus the absolute risk, the relative risk is so low, it's like saying, okay, well if your risk, and these aren't actual numbers, if your risk of colon cancer is 1%, it's probably lower than that. Now your risk of colon cancer is 1.1% if you consume processed meat. That doesn't sound nearly as sensationalist as this will save hundreds of thousands of lives, which is the BS they're spouting. So the main issue I have with this article is that they did a study showing relative risk, absolute risk of processed meat in a fairly negligible amount in relation to bowel cancer. And now they're saying we should ban all meat when there has never been any single study showing that regular meat has been linked to any carcinogenic properties whatsoever. And if someone came up to you and told you, oh well, wild caught fish or deer or bison or grass fed beef is bad for you, I mean, that just sounds stupid, doesn't it? That doesn't make any sense to say that a natural food that humans have been eating for hundreds and hundreds of thousands of years is bad for us and that we should tax it is completely crazy. And I'm just all I'm thinking during this is how much money is the grain, vegetable oil and sugar industry making that they can just throw so much negative like press against me. To me, it's completely mind boggling. And, you know, there are so many foods we could tax instead of meat. If you tax me, you will literally see the health of the population decline even further. And then what are you going to say? Oh, they're just people are so stupid. I'm like, at what point are people going to wake up and realize that the fact that I'm a content of animal foods is what makes us healthy. I don't think it's ever going to happen to be honest, but there's, you know, vegetable oils, grains, refined foods, fast food, pretty much any single food in an aisle in a supermarket is more dangerous to your health than consuming meat. Even fruit is more dangerous. Shouldn't we be taxing fruit? It's shipped from all over the world. It's high in sugar. Like just the idea that we should tax me, it seems like there are so many other things that should be taxing the first place, but I don't really want to go too much into this. You know, if they if they tax me and then I start eating fish, what are they going to say? Oh, now we go to tax fish because you're going to get PCBs and carcinogens like it's completely, completely crazy and ridiculous. And I don't think it's ever going to happen. But the whole idea behind it is just it's so it's so ridiculous. It's just process me and then say, oh, so we should ban regular meat. It doesn't make any sense. That's like saying, Oh, well, my neighbor's dog bit me five times. So I'm going to euthanize my dog. That's like what they're saying. That's a terrible analogy. But, you know, it's like saying, Oh, well, this dog bit this dog, so we should kill all the dogs. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. So thank you guys for watching. If you guys would like to support me, please just share the video. You know, it's just unfortunate to see literal propaganda. And I don't really know what the average person would think of this. I think people are kind of afraid to eat meat. And what are you going to do?
