i honestly dont trust American academia anymore. These studies are so often corrupted with big moneyed interests. So many examples over the years of being lied to.

I’ve started looking at cultural diets. I think the average American is so far disconnected from food, culture and tradition, that it’s evolved to convenience.
If you look at any culture. They figured out to survive with their foods and balance out tastes…. And they vary.
Some cultures are meat heavy. Some are plant heavy. Some are fish heavy. Some depend on the season.
The issue is fillers that are stripped of micronutrients that serve no nutritional purpose (except macronutrients for energy) but prioritize shelf stability, texture for hyper palatability, and cost resulting the over use of highly subsidized crops: corn, soy, wheat, etc.
Also food is just one factor of health. Movement. Sleep. Stress. Relationships.
Edit: I wouldn’t be surprised if this large push for eating cows is pushed by cow ranchers. Whether is good for health or not is hotly debated but one things for sure it’s bad for the environment and other countries thrive on alternative sources of protein.
