Everything I downvoted was because I genuinely do not think it’s good. Like meat is not going to cure cancer.

I actually really like eating meat I just try to life a life that gives others room to enjoy this earth too without mutually destroying it.

Please tell me how I am the asshole :)

    Ps - why arent you posting about how processed meat is bad for carnivore dieters due to the cancer risk? You claim to care about others, yet crickets on that…

    Because this post is about the moderator decision.

    Processed meat should be avoided, the carnivore diet is about eliminating processed foods, sugars, fructose, etc. So no need for crickets because we never promote processed meat.

    They only publish established science and are very slow. If they say it is true, then it is super true.

    This is just a SUPER version of appeal to authority. Associative epidemiology cannot establish causation.

      The WHO definitively states that processed meat causes cancer.

      The original post doesn’t mention to avoid carcinogenic meats like processed meats at all. It claims meat cures cancer.

      Ps appeal to authority isn’t a fallacy when it is directly related to the subject and supported by evidence in their body of work, which the WHO does both and which I cited directly.

        We are just talking in circles, we have different standards of evidence.

          Can you explain what a non-epidemology study would look like for this research? You have actually not explained what you would consider as evidence
