The new food pyramid is just as influenced by lobbyist as the previous one. Only this time it’s the life stock industry.

Plus anti-woke MAGA wants to distance itself from vegans as much as possible.

But also, lean, fresh meat isn’t that bad. It does have a lot of protein, with really balanced amino-acids. You don’t have to carefully combine grains and legumes, in order to not miss out on essential nutrients.

Meat also has a lot of bioavailable iron and vitamin B12. Both are important and usually insufficient in a vegan diet.

If you count fish as meat, it also has bioavailable Omega-3. Especially fatty ocean-fishes like salmon. If you don’t eat fish, you either have to eat microalgae-oil or severely reduce your omega-6 consumption (no chips for you. They are fried in sunflower oil).

In contrast to fresh meat, most processed meats are really bad:

• Cured meat has sodium nitrate. That’s a known carcinogen.
• Smoked meat has smoke particles. That’s another known carcinogen.
• Charred meat has charring. Another carcinogen.

And you also shouldn’t eat a lot of fat from land animals. It has a lot of saturated fats which, you guessed it, cause cancer.
