In regards to eating meat

[_X7]

Perhaps you could be more specific on what you consider an "ad hominem attack" in this thread. I don't think you're being very clear.

Deeper research extending from the talking points within this long thread will reveal these attacks. By "food harmonizers" i meant the health food and wellness movements in general, (the many diverse group efforts to achieve health through diet primarily). Health researchers and health promoters have been too often ridiculed. I refer to overt and covert smearing of wellness-research as one example of ad hominem attack.

The research and claims of the health movement deserve rational cross examination without smear campaigns. Seekers of natural health encounter detours in the many smears. These detours can or should sharpen STO wits. Providing that one's attention span is not derailed first.

I have wondered if some sort of chart or interactive spread sheet could provide better cross examination on health food information, (of authentic food science). There are seemingly endless disputations and infinite ramifications. At some point, search engines empowered with key word phrases will serve satisfactorily. Health food study is a very long term endeavor. So are the cumulative effects of specific diets. So is nutritional science, (apparently uncovering new observations, through new research).
