    Poor exercise and sedentary lifestyle kills you. Not meat.

    This is just so ignorant I have to come back to it. We’re specifically talking about heart attacks. You know, the widow maker. The thing that kills otherwise healthy men in the primes of their lives. Body builders, fire fighters, people who exercise every day. Sitting around not exercising does not cause you to have heart disease. Where the fuck is the plaque supposed to come from if you are not eating animal products?

      I’m not arguing that red meat is bad for you, first off - I’m not the person you were talking to.

      That being said - exercise is absolutely connected to lower plaque build up. Actually, many of the comorbidities associated with eating red meat can be fought with exercise.

      This idea that sedentary lifestyles are somehow supported and healthy by vegan diets strikes me as borderline ‘ADHD is a superpower’ bullshit.
