It's not just a personal belief that plant sources are, on the whole, better from a health perspective.

Since we're talking about the actual wording of the report, it admitted the significance of previous reports deciding to order plant foods before animal products. That is reversed in this most recent report, and very intentionally, which they make clear. They also pretend that the health effects of saturated fat intake are still fuzzy, as if the evidence doesn't heavily point towards it being detrimental.

If anyone is holding to unshakeable beliefs and unwilling to consider evidence, it's the shoddy scientists (many with meat-industry related conflicting interests) that wrote the report.

Focus on what he is saying.

The original commenter is simply misinformed about them excluding plant based protein. That is what his comment was shows.
