Maybe this would be harder to make fun of if they'd used much better cuts of meat in the poster.
This maybe fits in a boring dystopia.
They're all ground up, so I don't see how you could know what cuts were used.
Imagine saying "I work for the American Meat Institute".
I thought that was slightly humorous, but apparently they merged with others to become the "North American Meat Institute" in 2015... and theres a whole subsidiary that Im sure people have business cards spelling out: the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council... giggity.

I think they have an OnlyMans.

Feels like a 1940s ad for cigarettes now that we know red meat significantly increases risk of cardiovascular disease, breast and various gastrointestinal cancers, and type 2 diabetes.
Ya, I was just thinking this is a great example of a propaganda poster.
all ads are propaganda
Every company website is propaganda too.
Kind of a false equivalency there. The casual link between meat consumption and those diseases is much less clear than cigarettes and cancer. In fact, overconsumption of sugars is much more directly linked to type 2 diabetes than meat consumption, for example.
... Duh? Everyone knows that. You're talking about logical fallacies and then going on to an irrelevant whataboutism.
If you want to hide your head in the sand over red meat being a Group 2A carcinogen (processed meat is Group 1 and has been since 2015, meaning definitively causing cancer; in that sense, those hot dogs on the left are causally linked to cancer), be my guest. Doesn't change the reality that eating red meat for some strange reason I guess we'll never know significantly elevates risk for at least four of the leading causes of death in the developed world.
Ah, yes, the good ol' oreo and potato chip diet.
I roll my eyes whenever any of these diet comparisons come up, because comparing a vegan diet to an omnivorous diet doesn't really take into account diet quality, which is likely a far more significant factor in health outcomes than what particular diet cult you join. An omnivore who exclusively gets all their food from the local organic farmer's market is going to have better health outcomes than the vegan with a pantry full of oreos. I don't even think organic food is any healthier for you - I just think that simply giving a shit about your health and acting on it will produce better health outcomes, and everything else is either genetic or negligible. Which accounts for some amount of the improved health outcomes for vegans and vegetarians - there is so much hype about how they are "healthy" diets that people who are already more inclined to care about their health choose to adopt these diets.
Like, should you eat a carnivore diet for the rest of your life? Probably not. But that doesnt mean that a grilled steak with a side of potatoes and broccoli is bad for you. It's fine. Assuming you eat a healthy diet and live a generally healthy life, maybe skipping meat would add on a year or two. Great, now you die at 82 instead of 80 - 2 more years of achey joints and incontinence while you rot in a nursing home, woohoo!
Personally, I'd rather just enjoy my life and die a little sooner.
[Paper] A case study of overfeeding 3 different diets - 2021
This is the only study, a stunt case study, I've found that actually does a serious comparison of different diet compositions. 5800 calories over feeding, 3 weeks, 3 month washout - vegan, low fat, keto
You might find it interesting
I actually read that study. And I seriously doubt that you did. I bet. You just glanced over the end result. Thought it aligned with your views, and called it a day.
It's probably the most meaningless study I've ever seen.
You cannot draw any meaningful conclusion from it at all. Mostly, because they used, one singular. Test subject.
I'll say that again. They used 1 person. That's it. No control group. No ethnical diversity among test subjects. Just one guy.
Just to point out how incredibly useless that is. When they do studies on various methods of working out. They use hundreds if not thousands of people. Men and women. And in these studies. You will see, that some individuals, lose muscle mass. They do the same thing as everyone else. 99% of participants gain muscle mass of various degrees, but 1% will lose muscle mass.
Imagine if your study was done, on just that 1 person that lost muscle mass. Are you going to conclude that lifting weights will result in negative gains?
It's genuinely so funny that their attitude is "A wall of meta-analyses? Is that all you have?" And then they post a single case study they haven't read like it's some kind of slam dunk.
It's pigeon chess when these morons show up.
You actually READ the study? AND somehow missed my 500 word writeup on it? Or you read my writeup and thought I wrote it from pure imagination? Why not give grace to someone trying to have a dialog and extend the benefit of the doubt? Why the immediate hostility?
proof I read the case study
Yes, that is what case study means. Also... i called it a stunt case study, but it is the only serious comparison of dietary composition I've seen.
Since you READ the study, how do you account for waist circumference reduction on a hypercaloric ketogenic diet? Do you not find it inline with the carbohydrate insulin model of obesity? After all, this is exactly how Diabulimia works
That was interesting. Thank you for sharing!
Any time! I'm on lemmy for the good ideas and conversations.
Ugh… vegans. Worse than Mormons
What the fuck is this response
I'm sorry. I'll try to make your claims about health less disingenuous going forward.
Ugh.... Assholes. Everyone has them, but you use yours to type. Apart for being impressed at how much practice that must have taken you, really: stop defecating on the world with your words, shitheels.
Notice how he didn't actually address the point you made, just threw a wall of weak epidemiology and appeal to authority about a different subject.
Don't care, didn't plan on living forever anyway.
You're welcome to do what you want. My comment wasn't trying to stop you from smoking.
I thought this was satire after looking at the state of those burgers.
I’m amazed. Maybe they only had one exposure left on the camera.
What's wrong with the patties?
Nothing is wrong - it looks like a real food photo rather then the modern style of non-edible things made to look like some idealized concept of food.
