[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1866016, member: 196898"] Yes I know what you mean about the move to vegetarianism We get that here too. My wife is being tutored by a friend of hers who runs a health food business from the web that is MLM based, so it really means she sells books, potions and supplements to cure everything under the sun. She is a WFPB advocate but does not do vegan herself, and so my wife has an expensive library courtesy of Michael Greger et al , and bags and bags of expensive supplements that my wife has not used. The current dietplan she is sold on is the celery only diet for 6 weeks to cure Parkinsons and Cancer. It gains credibility through using the web info and the glossy sale pitches and pseudoscience. My daughter is similar in that she saw the article on why veganism must take over because of the land use / abuse that livestock farming inflicts on the planet. Nothing about animal suffering, just that WFPB is so much better for the planet. When I try to explain tht biofuels are worse culprits, and ground nut oil production for modern foodstuffs is bad, but I get shouted down. However as I point out often in the forum, I buy the household provisions, I cook the food, I wash up and dry, I do all the other things necessary, and so we ALL do LCHF or my variant of it. As they say Money Talks, and its MY house, MY pension. My Rules - ok? And if I say that report was biassed and funded sideways, then I know what I am talking about. [/QUOTE]
