Did any @latimes.com editors register the irony of promoting steak when the beef industry contributed to the wildfires that burned down parts of the city last year? @hayleysmith.bsky.social @defnekarabatur.bsky.social

This @dailymail.co.uk headline suggests that pork is just as healthy as legumes, according to new study. Only readers who get to the 22nd paragraph will learn that the small sample size (36 participants) and short duration (8 weeks) limit the validity of the research.

Even if Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) could somehow effectively process the billions of pounds of toxic feces that they now, in essence, dump into our waterways, that wouldn't change the fact that the factory-farmed meat they produce is unhealthy and the product of animal cruelty.

This @dailymail.co.uk headline is irrelevant to the story (link below) and contains false information about #veganism and #plantbased milks, the consumption of which does not "secretly harm our IQ."

Restaurants and diners may pay a high price for steak, but that cost pales in comparison to the price paid by cows and the planet. @wsj.com - In your future coverage of meat prices, please note that 1.) cows pay for our steaks with their lives.

A @nytopinion.nytimes.com columnist argues that RFK's dietary guidelines are "very sensible" despite the fact that they place beef, dairy and other animal products at the top of the food pyramid and downplay the importance of #plantbased protein.

In an @theatlantic.com essay, staff writer @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social argues that the current #protein craze coupled with the Trump-inspired fixation on masculinity have reduced consumer interest in #plantbased eating, but this observation belies what's happening in the culinary world.

In a 650 word story about high steak prices, @nytimes.com makes no mention of the exorbitant cost of producing it to the planet. Cattle are the world's biggest agricultural source of greenhouse gases, and 60% - 70% of Amazon deforestation is attributed to cattle ranching. @carolynryan.bsky.social

The headline of this #ABCNews story indicates that high fat #dairy lowers dementia risk, but only people who read to the end will learn that findings are unproven. If ABC News is going to report on this "observational study" at all, then shouldn't they note proven health risks of dairy consumption?

By stating that #plantbased burgers are "more processed than a regular beef burger," @fox5dc.com.web.brid.gy is, perhaps inadvertently, spreading meat industry propaganda. Most beef burgers are heavily processed. They contain preservatives, binders, fillers and/or other artificial ingredients.
