It already is bullshit. People have been eating meat for thousands of years.

>>7395709
To be fair, people have also had cancer for thousands of years...

>fat is evil, it will kill your heart
Has never been stated anywhere reputable. Trans fats have been established as bad for a number of reasons, particularly relating to heart disease for a long time and anyone arguing that is plain old retarded. The US and UK governments had a brief foray into discouraging sat fats but this has since been established as more complicated than simply LDLs vs HDLs and there're plenty of studies showing the effects of each in relation to fat.

>eggs are evil, the will clogg your arteries
Has never been stated anywhere reputable.

>bread is evil, gluten will make your head explode
Has never been stated anywhere reputable. Is also retarded. Gluten allergy is a rare aside but very real.

>meat is evil, it will give you cancer
Has never been stated anywhere reputable. Studies have shown time and time again, and almost the entire nutrition and medical industry are aware that processed meats increase the risks of various things including but not limited to cancers, heart diseases and poor cholesterol levels. But that's to be expected since you'd have to be pretty retarded to think processed foods are better for you than whole foods in anything but the rarest of exceptions.

tl;dr Stop generalizing and you eliminate most bullshit.

Don't forget GMOs and Vaccines

>Has never been stated anywhere reputable.
I think that is the problem in general. The media misreads a small study that only shows correlation and then it enters public perception and its almost impossible to kill these myths.
We see it with GMOs, gluten, aspartame,vaccines, dietary cholesterol intake (and eggs specifically), fatty food, MSG, people thinking 'organic' is healthier or better

None of the myths surrounding these things are based in fact yet they all persist and are near impossible to kill

Bingo. The problem with people in general is that they've mostly never learned critical thinking skills, so when something appeals to their sense of paranoia (the human defence mechanism against the unknown) they listen instead of rationally uncovering any actuality.

This is also why people like OP post drivel like above, he's not interested in finding out the truth or looking at anything rationally, he's just heard some claims by some people and decided they're idiots and he's right and they're wrong.

The media, the public and people like OP all subscribe to the same shouts and cries and memes, but the science and answers will persist for those willing to spend the time.

This isn't a bad thing, it's merely human nature.
