Out here in Australia we are bombarded with advertising propaganda that is telling us that meat is the “main meal”, that we owe our development to red meat. That dairy is essential for development, that it is needed for strong bodies etc. The funny thing with these ads is that that is just what they are, advertising. They are usually paid for by the Meat & Livestock Association or the Australian Dairy Association. These organisations have a vested interest in promoting these products. Any research that, is promoted by these organisations should be viewed with “a grain of salt”. It is only natural that groups like the MLA or ADA would only publish favourable ‘scientific’ research, just the same as the findings that are published on this site.
Being a ‘pro-vegan’ site, of course there will only be articles about how bad meat is, and I make no apologies for that. I believe people should be informed about both sides of the argument and make up their own mind based on all the facts rather than advertising with emotional triggers.
