Why is it that countries that don’t eat red meat as much as Americans live far longer than we do?
Okinawans live well past 100, and are doing physical activity into their 90s. Americans are falling apart by the time they turn 60, dead before they hit 80.
Not American myself, but I can think of a few factors besides meat:
less stress
less polution
less processed food, be it meat or not
less sugar
less sedentary lifestyle
genes
Nutrition alone won’t get you to 100. Having a diverse diet keeps ypu healty, but there are many factors that impact health.
I do agree that meat is overused in general population, but can’t really force the vegan/vegetarian lifestyle onto an omnivore specie.
Impossible and beyond taste delicious in respective appropriate dishes. Dunno wtf you’re on about. Also a lot less prep and clean up to toss a frozen patty on the grill than cook a bunch of veggies. The downside is that it isn’t particularly healthy-- at least on par with a red meat burger. But the idea that they all “taste bad” is just dumb and contrary to what clearly a ton of other people experience.

While moderation is the key to everything, and I wouldn’t be surprised if cutting out red.meat is a lot healthier for the consumer
Feels like you just randomly made something up here by comparing some random outlier stories you’ve heard.
Yes meat does that. I am talking about fake meat.
