They're not necessarily experts on nutrition, and it doesn't sound like this person even provided any 'doctors and scientists' who encourage meat eating (though some obviously do).

And 'doctors and scientists' of what?
Neil deGrasse Tyson is a really amazing scientist... But why would you go to him for nutritional advice?

It matters more what dietitians say, because they are actual nutrition experts.

And then just facts about meat. It contains saturated fat and dietary cholesterol, which increase your blood cholesterol etc..

”That is not healthy to dismiss meat because our organism is not yet evolved for something like this.. even if we want to, and i am not saying this, there are scientists and nutritionists.”

Dietele "vegan" [pur-vegetariene] si alte tipuri de diete vegetariene bine-planificate sunt potrivite pentru toate stagiile vietii, inclusiv in timpul sarcinii, lactatiei, primilor ani de viata, copilariei si adolescentei. Dietele vegetariene ofera un numar de beneficii nutritionale, inclusiv nivele scazute de grasime saturata, colesterol si proteina animala cat si nivele mai ridicate de carbohidrati, fibra, magneziu, potasiu, vitamina Bc si antioxidanti cum ar fi vitaminele C si E si fotochimicale. S-a aratat ca vegetarienii au un index de masa corporala mai scazut decat nonvegetarienii, cat si rata de deces din cauza bolilor cardiace ischemice mai scazuta; de asemenea, vegetarienii au nivele de colesterol in sange mai scazute; tensiune mai scazuta; si rate de hipertensiune, diabet de tip 2 si cancer la prostata si colon mai scazute.

That is what he originally said, right?
How did he respond to the information I posted?

PS I can only see the figure in your profile picture as a cylinder...
