  1. Interesting! I see a lot of vegan bashing from all kinds of news sources so this does not surprise me. There is a great deal of money behind keeping Americans addicted to shitty processed foods and animal products.

  2. Yep. Just like there was a lot of money years ago committed to convincing people smoking wasn't dangerous.

    The claim that meat-eating facilitated the increase in human brain size is an enduring myth. I'm glad this guy dealt with it head-on.
