You are correct that it's not the saturated fat (though excess saturated fat isn't good...the only thing that got 'exposed' was that trans fats are worse).
It's the animal protein that causes cancer and acidity which leads to inflammation which leads to heart disease and many other diseases.

Yeah, it's quite a barbaric planet we live on. War has been around that long too, so I guess that makes war ok?

Yes, people are cruel on this planet. Cruelty is an STS trait, and this planet is of mixed polarity at this point. We can, however, choose not to participate.
