Definitely, that's why this thread was supposed to be about decreasing meat consumption. I'm not sure why it turned into a vegetarian debate. Even the video said 'there's no need to go completely vegetarian'.

They aren't essential, sorry. It's not about meat having special ingredients that helped increase brain function. It was because the meat was nutrient dense and again, we did not have access to the amount of fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes we have now. What is so difficult about...

It's great that you are healthy, but again, one person's experience can't cancel out numerous studies. Meat is very expensive compared to beans, spinach, and other protein-rich plants. Eating less meat will not harm somebody's health and I think its benefit to the environment is well worth it.

Meat was essential in early development because it is incredibly nutrient and fat rich. Back then, we didn't have access to the amount of food we have today obviously. The amount of plant food we ate wasn't nearly enough to promote brain growth. In modern society, things are clearly different...

Not close-minded, I just don't have time to watch a half an hour video today. Maybe tomorrow. There is no denying that meat was essential for early human development. Key word early. Eating meat everyday is not necessary anymore. That's a fact.

I'm sorry that happened to people you know, but one person's experiences can't go against scientific fact & studies.

Let's focus on current studies rather than something that happened while we were still evolving. I don't know how many academic studies have proven that vegans, on average, live longer than meat-eaters, but it's a lot. Have fun with your heart disease though. It's a free country. I would really...

Sorry, I could only watch about 2 minutes, it was getting pretty cringey. Yes, meat was important in the early development of the human brain, but our brains have achieved their maximum growth thousands of years ago. Study after study has shown that replacing meat protein with plant protein is...

The accepted science is that the human physiology (intestines, teeth, build, etc.) is much much closer to that of herbivores than carnivores. Of course we are omnivores, but eating meat at every meal is completely unnecessary and environmentally irresponsible.

Yeah, you might be right. I feel like a lot of people are put off by vegetarian/vegan extremism and that weak ethics argument. I eat meat once in a while, but I mainly eat plant-based. I think if people were more educated on the environmental impact, instead of the ethical argument, more people...

No, there have been numerous studies that support the claim that the human body is meant for a plant-based diet with small portions of meat.

A short clip that explains things pretty well: Not a fan of the title of the vid and it's quite short, but it's something we should be talking about a lot more in the environmental community. With the Trump administration's decisions, we all need to pitch in. But beware, I shared this video...
