Exposing the hypocrisy of meat based diets

I'm not vegan but I've been getting more plant based lately and checking out different things. So far I haven't really ate meat for about a month now.

There's a lot I didn't know. I'm used to carnivore influencers but when you check out things they believe and what goes on behind the scenes, there's a lot of propaganda that comes with a meat based diet. A lot of things I previously believed aren't true.

I'm not going to go the ultra vegan route that meat is bad per se, obviously longer lived people eat meat too as well as vegans, that one vegan heart surgeon who lived to 98 but I have noticed I been doing better on a plant based diet.

I'm also not gonna lie, I've been plant based as a stance against right wingers who are all about their steaks. I hate their meanness so much this year.

I've been a gymnast since my early youth and diet had always been on the forefront of most conversations in my family. I adopted a no-meat, no-sugar, no-fat diet early on in the game, like prior to high school. One of the problems with eating red meat like beef is that it takes about 3 full days for meat to digest in the human body, which means the body has to produce enzymes it wouldn't normally produce JUST to break down the red meat during the digestion process. What this means is, red meat is actually foreign to the human body which is why we shouldn't be eating it.

Another reason why we shouldn't be eating red meat is because of the growth hormones that remain active in red meat long after the animal has been readied for market. Those growth hormones then become active in the person who eats that red meat containing growth hormones. This is why young girls are developing breasts years sooner than their counterparts of 40 and 50 years ago when growth hormones were not used in beef production. This would also speak to the issue of such a high incidents of breast cancer developing in young adult women today that was never seen in young women 40 and 50 years ago.

@swirlie Ohhh that's interesting I honestly didn't know all that. The reason why I've wanted to be more plant based other than spiting right wingers is that I learned that the iron in red meat is highly oxidizing. It apparently raises TMAO levels which creates heart disease. Plant based diets lower that. But I also take a supplement with iron in it and decided it doesn't do me good to eat red meat every day like I once did.

I didn't know that about having to take 3 days to fully ingest or growth hormones that kind of explains it.

Putting it bluntly, red meat actually putrefies in the digestive system while it is breaking down, which means it turns into rotten meat as the decay process begins within the digestive tract of the human body. After 3 days, it is expelled. What would a steak look like if you put it on your front porch on a summers day of 95*F and let it sit there for 3 days? That same steak is inside your stomach doing the same thing.

@swirlie Milk is foreign to the human body and we shouldn't be 'eating' it either.

That is correct. Milk is only intended for infants but not adults.
