>1.5. Sneaky vegan propaganda examplesPopular sources that promote "plant-based diets" are actually just vegan propaganda in disguise:
1) Blue zones are bullshit[1]. The longest living populations paradoxically consume the highest amount of meat[2]. Buettner cherry-picks and ignores areas that have both high consumption of animal products and high life expectancies (Hong Kong, Switzerland, Spain, France, ... ). He praises Adventists for their health, but doesn't do the same for Mormons. Among others, he misrepresents the Okinawa diet by using data from a post WWII famine[3]. The number of centenarians in blue zones is likely based on birth certificate fraud[4]. The franchise also belongs to the SDA church now[5].
2) The website "
nutritionfacts.org" is run by a vegan doctor who is known to misinterpret and cherry-pick[6] his data. He and many other plant-based advocates like Klaper, Kahn and Davis all happen to be ethical vegans[7].
3) EAT-Lancet is pushing a nutrient deficient "planetary health diet" because it's essentially a global convention of vegans[8]. Their founder and president is the Norwegian billionaire, hypocrite[9] and animal rights activist Gunhild Stordalen. In 2017, they co-launched FReSH - a partnership[10] of fertilizer, pesticide, processed food and flavouring companies.
4) The China Study, aka the Vegan Bible, has been debunked[11] by hundreds of people including Campbell himself[12] in his actual peer-reviewed publications on the study.
5) The Guardian, a pro-vegan newspaper that frequently depicts meat as bad for health and the environment, has received two grants[13] totaling $1.78m from an investor of Impossible Foods.
