It seems to be heading to the same sort of place where vaccination has ended up, as described by Kendrick recently. It's just axiomatic now that eating meat harms the environment and is contributing...

It's a perfect subject for that programme Gilli, but no, apparently he has written an article for the Radio Times expressing the the view that the obese should just be left to over-indulge and die...

Maybe he feels he hasn't been getting enough attention lately.

If you follow up the references, in the Guardian article there is, as ever with the Guardian, a subsequent correction issued. It seems the original article did say that the professor died 'as a...

I've just read the article Ffion linked. I'm no expert, but I think there is a lot of confused thinking in the section on 'metabolic chaos' (even the title they have chosen for the section speaks...

I think more likely that they're just addicted to carbs.

I wonder if he takes requests? I'd like to see him tackle man-made climate change next :D

I wonder if it was actually low carb. Many of these 'low carb' studies still seem to put people on 120g carb a day or even more.

M&S do a 380g ribeye and a 450g sirloin steak now. I don't struggle with either of them!

Not each and every day, no, but I do exceed that most days.

Been wondering how you were Sarah by the way!

On the news on Wednesday we were hearing about the UK aim to be carbon neutral by 2050 - apparently we should all reduce our meat consumption by 20% to help with this effort.

To quote Princess...

All of it is shocking and distressing, but especially the attitude of the father who more or less seems to have attempted to say he just wasn't involved.

In the linked article, it states that the authors found very little difference between red and processed meat, even though the latter contains nitrites.

With a lot of processed meat, I'm not even sure I can see anything to worry about. Take spam - apparently the 6 ingredients are pork, salt, water, potato starch, sugar and sodium nitrite. The study...

According to Dr Colin Champ's latest newsletter (do sign up if you haven't, they are an absolute gold mine of fantastic information on a monthly basis), we have the Italian ambassador to the WHO to...

I don't understand the fuss about goose and duck fat, unless its because their relative lack of flavour is seen as a good thing. I much prefer beef dripping, and always miss the taste of butter if...

I spent most of yesterday in airports and read this then. It's an excellent article until just before the end when it bigs up Weight Watchers for apparently being the only ones to apply the truth.

Yes I'm sure, and I'm not surprised - but the point (which I think stands) is that 3 x 6 ounce servings of meat a day is not wildly restrictive. So in conclusion, this Pegan diet is just a bit of a...

This isn't so different though - it's what we do minus dairy plus a few grains, with controlled protein portions. You can still have 6 ounces per meal though, which is about the size of a standard...

It's seriously scary stuff. The BBC report says the EAT-Lancet commission is taking its findings to governments around the world and the WHO. If they were to fall for it hook, line and sinker...

The only thing I wonder about fibre is the angle about it being food for the microbiome within us. I completely buy the argument that it doesn't provide nourishment to humans directly but I wonder...

Why is the BHF so hell bent on having us eat fruit, pulses and grains?! It's just weird that he feels he has to trot this out.

Oh I don't think that was integral to the beneficial effects - just that he happens to live in the middle of nowhere on some kind of ranch, so it's a practical option. Dealing with whole sheep in a...

When the subject of an all meat diet came up a couple of months back, I read a few interesting blogs on it, and came across a young man who put his MS into remission by eating nothing but sheep,...

What on earth is the point of that? Hummus is already vegan, why the need to recreate something similar from cotton?!
