"think if we are to be rational about it, we can and really have to look critically at our diet.All medical evidence I’ve seen, seems to support the idea that westerners eat too much red meat…i.e. an unhealthy amount.Environment or no environment, this seems to be recognized medical fact."We're all going to die of something until the Singularity hits. Westerners appear to eat too much in general and simultaneously do not exercise enough. Not sure how anyone addresses that without a nanny state.I don't eat much red meat, but if others want to, more power to them.After all, part of the issue is that developing nations want to be more like us -- the developing world already consumes a slim majority of all meat worldwide, and by 2020 developing nations will consume 63% of meat worldwide according to the International Food Policy Research Institute.
