Eating meat has been shown to have a positive effect on life expectancy in 175 different populations today, and yes, it still holds after you also take into accounts income, obesity, and a bunch of other stuff.
If you read the above you will also see that eating carbs, i.e. being a Vegan, has a negative correlation with life expectancy.
None of this is rocket science, I observed the effects of this as a teenager, by simply noting that while neither my dad or mother are especially tall people, my brother and I just by eating meat every day got to 6′ and 6’2″ and then I started to pay attention to the other kids we were friends with in school and the aunties, must unhealthy, weak and sickly ones were the vegans. Closely followed by the vegetarians. From a purely personal perspective I have seen absolutely zero evidence that this is not exactly how it always plays out. It really is.
There have since been more credible studies done, for those who bother to read such things in some depth for fun, that absolutely prove vegetarianism and veganism are invariably unhealthy when compared to omnivore or even mostly carnivorous diets.
And for all the morons out there saying gorillas are really strong and eat only vegetables:
- No, they don’t, and
- You’re not a gorilla, stupid.
