If you really find Robert Lustig scaremongering a scientific argument, then do you find the relative increase of meat consumption relevant and scary enough (Is Meat Killing Us? jaoa)?

It is absolutely not necessary to be a scaremongering pseudoscientist to notice that epidemiological result on 1.5 million people implying that meat raises all-mortality risk isn't relevant, despite being published in a relevant science journal. When the data is flawed no statistics wand waving will be able to eliminate the effects of bad lifestyle that most meat eaters have.

I'm a vegan, and I'm probably the best man to enjoy using the result of that study as a perfect health argument, but I'm not silly enough to believe that the result is relevant.
