Public health officials for years have urged Americans to limit consumption of red meat and processed meats because of concerns that these foods are linked to heart disease, cancer and other ills.
But on Monday, in a remarkable turnabout, an international collaboration of researchers produced a series of analyses concluding that the advice, a bedrock of almost all dietary guidelines, is not backed by good scientific evidence.
If there are health benefits from eating less beef and pork, they are small, the researchers concluded. Indeed, the advantages are so faint that they can be discerned only when looking at large populations, the scientists said, and are not sufficient to tell individuals to change their meat-eating habits.

Finally, a conclusive study on this!
Study Finds Avoiding Red Meat May Lead To Longer, More Miserable Life
October 2nd, 2019
Careful research showed that those who spent every waking moment trying to avoid the temptation to bite into a delicious bone-in ribeye could gain a few months of life, but they would pretty much hate those extra months of life, as well as the rest of their life, because they weren't eating red meat.

Impossible Pork debuted yesterday at a convention in Las Vegas. Impossible Sausage will launch soon too and already has a Burger King partnership in place.

Serendipitously, I bought Beyond Meat stock first day of IPO. It went up 8x before I sold. I sold because of 'negative' propaganda beginning to ease out of the ramifications crowd. That and the P/E was beginning to soar. Price is now at 10x, but I feel that is a measure of 'optimism' in the market for the huge 'anti-meat' crowd regardless of 'why' they're anti-meat. I went to Impossible Foods to see where they stand as a private company. The number of inquiries for possible investment is enormous, but the door is closed as venture capital is substantial. From an investment standpoint, I will not miss this boat when/if they go public if the market is even slightly bull. That and my personal comparison puts 'Impossible' way ahead of 'Beyond'. Just my two cents
Not Impossible, but Hardees added Beyond Sausage and Beyond Burgers to their menu nationwide at the end of last year. I tried the sausage because I had a coupon and enjoyed it. I'll try the burger at some point too.
If meat is so bad, why do vegetarians/vegans work so hard to make their food look and taste like meat?
Lol so a site dedicated to anti GMO's funded a study and these were the results.
I would take this tweet and the study with a grain of salt.

I've had this thought as well. My guess is that former meat eaters want to experience some of the things they did before they stopped eating meat. I mean, a hamburger is a pleasing thing to eat. It tastes good. There's no shame in admitting that. I can understand wanting to enjoy something that you like without the aspects of it that you don't. It's the same concept behind diet soda or sugar free candy, I suppose.
On the other side of the coin, the fact that the very existence of meat alternatives seems to piss some people off to a large degree, is bizarre to me as well. There's clearly a market for it. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
95% of vegans I know loved the taste of meat. They know it tastes great and why it is popular. They just either: want to do their part of reducing humans consumption, think it's hurtful to animals, or it is a health journey for them to consume less meat or meat does something to their body.
I truly think very few vegans don't think meat tastes good.
I stopped eating beef and pork for health reasons and I love the taste of both.
Hopefully the salt then goes toward chicken or beef and not pork since it’s naturally salty.
I think most people who want to see less animals eaten also understand you need to give people an off ramp. It’s much easier to say to people, “hey I think eating animals has some negative consequences, eat this instead”. That sounds much better then “hey I think eating animals has some negative consequences, now you can never eat this thing again which you very much enjoy.”
Granted, but inevitably highly processed foods that are heralded as better for you end up being much worse for you. Highly processed foods explain why Americans health is so bad, not pork or beef.
