Michael Mansfield QC is a political heavy weight, so his influence should not be underestimated. I think the best way to counter this to somehow put meat and dairy on trial, sounds crazy, but they are slaughtering us with strawman arguments and half truths that hit the spot. In a similar way to Professor Tim Noakes case, a trial of some sort would allow all sides to bring their evidence, I know "our" argument is unassailable so it would be the cheapest and most public way to put to bed saturated fat, cholesterol and environmental concerns. Can this be engineered.
I would actually take pleasure in seeing some of the other side shuffle in their seats when things like, our medical results, relative risk unmasking and the quality of the studies is told to millions and adjudicated on in a court of law. Imagine Zoe Harcombe telling the history of the Diet Heart Hypothesis / 7 countries study and so on and how this has shaped the guidelines, followed by the actual rates of heart disease, and the differing levels of cholesterol in hard outcomes. I have listened to all of the big wigs on the other side and their message works until challenged.
Their biggest problem is that the majority of well controlled Type 2's use meat at the heart of their diet (this effectively resolves the diet nonsense) and then on global warming side the results of those who adopt the practices or similar of the Savory foundation
https://www.savory.global/. Given the chance where facts count and conjecture does not work the anti-meat agenda would get horse whipped.
It is now time to put up or shut up. Michael Mansfield QC is a highly intelligent individual so either is ignoring our side of the debate or more likely not heard as much (I hope it is the latter). I trust in the British Justice System. A trial could potentially have 3 justices, advocates for the prosecution (meat / dairy - should be banned, causes cancer, heart disease, diabetes and is a cause of global warming), defence (meat / dairy (for those who tolerate) is heart protective, the most nutrient dense food, bio-available to the majority of humans, reverses diabetes and multiple conditions, can be carbon neutral). The jury could consist of several groups such as doctors, cardiologists, dentists, doctors, school teachers, chefs, actors etc - I would like to see 3 to 5 representatives from many areas so that when we win it creates an irresistible tsunami. If you have a better idea to stop this charade it would be good to hear or seriously what is the mechanism that could be used to put diet on trial.
