Both scientists and nonscientists should watch this and reflect.
In the last interview of his life (1996), astronomer Carl Sagan warned of the dangers that come when citizens cannot ask skeptical scientific questions of those in authority. Watch and ask: was he right?

The Dublin Declaration of Scientists on the Societal Role of Livestock - recently approved, is a very valuable contribution to the ongoing debates in the EU. I recommend its reading. dublin-declaration.org/ /2

"We are not yet equipped w/ all scientific evidence we need to answer all relevant questions...it is not the best option to do something actionistic, w/ poorly understood consequences, but to step up research & develop better solutions" #DublinDeclaration nature.com/articles/s43016-0…

“The relationship is so WEAK, that the control group of trial #45 has a similar event rate as the drug group of trial #46 despite vastly different LDL levels (151 mg/dL vs. 55 mg/dL).” Another great article on Silverman 2016 by @ZahcM well worth your time! @ProfTimNoakes

It's a conversation we cannot capture in a few tweets, that's why we have constructed an entire website: aleph-2020.blogspot.com/p/su… We need to discuss methods & scale but unless we're suicidal as a society, we'll need ruminant husbandry for a sustainable future.

Not only is the monoculture-based production of ultra-processed foods an ecological disaster but the associated burden of disease also comes with massive emissions (the global pharmaceutical sector is more emission-intensive than the automotive industry: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…)
Conclusion of an excellent intervention study that responded directly to what is the relevant question on the environmental impact of UPF: ‘Decreasing the consumption of UPF should be considered not only for health but also for environmental protection’. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Plant-based diets: benefits on weight/BMI/waist circumference, blood glucose, LDL-C, but not HDL-C, triglycerides & blood pressure; "findings should be interpreted with caution because most of the reviews were rated to be of low credibility of evidence & were largely based on Western eating habits and traditions, which may limit the generalizability of findings"

Want to know more about why #MeatIsImportant? According to @FAO, livestock is a vital component of the global economy, supporting 1.3 billion livelihoods around the world and accounting for 40% of global ag output by value. #Yes2Meat #PrioritizeProtein buff.ly/3GTyAX0

B12 deficiency plays a major role in auditory hallucinations....the voices that screamed violence to me for 35yrs. I took expensive methylcobalomin.it never helped at all. Flooding my brain with real nutrient dense animal foods 5yrs ago took the voices away!! #mentalillness

This! "There are many good reasons to rethink the global use of resources, but there is no doubt that grasslands and their large herds of herbivores will keep on fulfilling their roles in global ecology and the nourishing of humans, as they have been doing for millions of years"

This specific ranch farms cattle within the natural ecosystems and occurring wildlife - no borders or fences in between them- to gain the most out of the synergy between the cattle, wildlife and natural bushveld.

Some #FoodIntelligence shared by @GlobalFoodJust1 -- did you know that most of beef's water footprint comes from natural rainfall that would fall on pastures with or without animals? #SustainableBeef buff.ly/3L48FhB

Danish doctor, medical researcher Uffe Ravnskov never believed cholesterol or saturated fat caused heart disease. Branded a crank, his 1991 book, The Cholesterol Myth, was mocked. Too much for angry "Diet Heart" proponents in Finland, his book was set afire on live TV.
