From the NYT/Kolata article:

Quote:

“Irresponsible and unethical,” said Dr. Hu, of Harvard, in a commentary published online with his colleagues. Studies of red meat as a health hazard may have been problematic, he said, but the consistency of the conclusions over years gives them credibility.

Nutrition studies, he added, should not be held to the same rigid standards as studies of experimental drugs.

Of course we should not, cuz if we do, we find that eating meat of any kind is benign at worst and beneficial at best. We find this in the famous Bellevue All-Meat Trial. Instead, what is responsible and ethical is to create the weakest kind of evidence, then based on this weak evidence, make Laws that ultimately cause people to get fat, sick and weak.

Accept our nature. Our nature is a) we are exquisitely adapted to eating meat, and b) lying to the greatest number of people for the longest time (and the corollary, being lied to) is one of our favorite passtime. I mean, think of the countless music, theater plays, novels, TV soaps, movies, all of it lies of the first order, and we love it to no end. The only irresponsible and unethical thing here would be to destroy the illusion by telling the truth once in a while.
