alt Hacker NewsNothing in my comment addressed outlawing meat. It's especially absurd to think that any sane person, vegan or not, would want to prevent someone from eating meat if a medical condition limits their options.
What you're doing is projecting an insecurity you have that vegans want to outlaw meat onto my comment, and I'm not even a vegan. This creates a straw man, and now we are off-topic, discussing something I never proposed.
> I'm even fine with improving quality of life for farmed animals
That's gracious of you.
> I draw a hard, firm line at outlawing meat.
Can we get back on topic now?
> "I'm not sure if a vegan hurt you or something"
And yes, I've known plenty of vegans who literally want to outlaw meat regardless of need...
As to other contaminants and their effects, of course... but can you honestly say that a half a century of "low fat" and mostly fat sources that are woefully incomplete on essential fatty acid profiles while consuming reduced amounts of fats all around hasn't affected hormone production? Hormone production is directly affected by fat consumption.
