With this in mind, rather than asking, "Should we eat meat?" we should probably be asking, "Is there a safe level of meat?" and, "Which types are worst?" In short, we can split meat into four types: white, red, processed, and fish.
Fish and white meat are roundly considered fairly healthful as long as you aren't deep frying them or wrapping them in bacon. For red meat and processed meats, though, it's the reverse.
Red and processed meats are associated with colon cancer and heart disease. The majority of studies conclude that eating more of this meat is a bad idea. But how much is too much, and what levels are safe, are harder to quantify.
Dr. William Kormos, editor in chief of Harvard Men's Health Watch, writes, "As for how much meat consumption is 'safe,' many studies show a small rise in the risk of disease at levels of 50100 grams (1.83.5 ounces) of red meat consumed daily."
Det är helt ok att propagera för att vi ska minska vår konsumtion av animalier men gör det åtminstone med ärliga argument.
Eller, om det verkligen är där förståndet stoppar, så utbilda er bättre.
Dessutom är de ute och seglar när de talar om att "västerländsk livsstil ligger bakom u-ländernas diabetes".
Ett av jordens värst diabetes-drabbade länder är Sri Lanka. Det beror till stor del på deras konsumtion av ris, vitt ris.

"Rice is the principal staple of the Sri Lankan diet and other carbohydrates are consumed in lesser quantities. The high consumption of white rice is thought to increase the incidence and prevalence of diabetes [4]. A recent meta-analysis has shown an association between white rice consumption (with a high glycaemic index) and prevalence of diabetes in Asian populations [5].

Riskonsumtion i Asien har väldigt lite med "västerländsk livsstil" att göra.
