You might have to watch the video to find out. If you do, I would like to hear back.How does he explain the Blue Zones? And how plant based diets have been around for thousands of years.
I guess/bet that he just ignores whatever facts don't support his premise.They keep pushing the anti soy and anti plant based when there are literally thousands of years of evidence that it is healthy. The diet of the Okinawans is 60% purple sweet potatoes and they are the longest lived people in the world. 1/3rd of India is vegan. They are healthy.
I would not go that far. Even the most ethically based of us are concerned with our diets. If only because if we would not be good role models if we die young.I think as far as veganism goes we really don't need to worry about these carnivore/paleo types and their ilk. It's just a distraction from veganism's core message of compassion to others. Absolutely nothing to do with diet.
I feel sorry for those who get sucked in to it all, especially carnivore. At face value there do seem to be some short term health benefits for a few people. But some equally worrying short term health issues as well. No-one really knows long term.
There may not even be short term health benefits. Although low carb types do initially lose weight.
And we do have some good indications if not evidence for long term health issues.
See Blue Zones study, the China Study, and others.
