We need a graph of Americans who have followed and acted on the work of Gary Taubes and Nina Teicholz compared with the rest. I suspect that any upward slope in the graph shown is because their efforts made a negative slope graph tip up.

This. "The safe assumption is always that anything a vegan says is a falsehood."

No surprise there. What continues to surprise me, although it probably should not, is how much traction their lunacy engenders. I have a wonderful friend who has been vegan for years, raising her children as vegans from very small and convincing her (now) husband to follow the same religion. To my surprise, during her search for a new PCP, the candidate she initially liked the most told her, point-blank, "I cannot treat you as a vegan. The first step to recovering from your symptoms is to fix your diet." She immediately looked elsewhere, and her vegan friends cheered! I shook my head in amazement.

Said it once. Might as well repeat it. If your diet is a religion, you're doing it wrong.

This. "And that the Dietary Guidelines was a massive mistake."

Characterizing them as "a mistake" is giving lying sacks of crap too much credit.

Guidelines? ALL of the “associations” are shills for whoever is paying the bills, and it isn’t the local Amish farmer.

👍

I'm really hoping RFK will have some positive effect on the DGA, the committee, and the basis for its recommendations. Best of all, put Nina on the committee.

We need to get rid of it, not try to fix it. The entire nutrition science profession is rotten, they can open a restaurant if they want to control how people eat.

A much better answer than mine. I fell into the trap of being trapped in the box.

The vegan currency is lies. Their whole paradigm is based on lies, deception, and self deception.

My conclusion from that chart is there is some very successful medical companies growing their market: if they made people healthy, they would make less money. Why would they do that? It is by design. Our job is to stay away from the medical establishment as much as feasibly possible: if you get sucked in, they are not letting you go. A sick you is a profitable you.

for us veterans, it's tiring to analyze vegan propaganda, but it remains crucial for the uninitiated to have this broken down in such a way that they can see through the fog of bullshit. good job!
