Scientists worldwide decry “climate fanaticism” and say meat is essential for a balanced diet

By Carlos Esteban*

They can close slaughterhouses in Spain at an alarming rate, they can tell you that the cows’ windy breath is accelerating climate change and that our carnivorous obsession contributes to the deforestation of the Amazon, vegans can insist that eating animals is an atrocity and the European Union, at the request of the World Economic Forum, can promote the consumption of disgusting critters as if they were a panacea, but the truth is that meat is essential for a complete and balanced diet.

That is the conclusion of thousands of scientists worldwide who have joined the Dublin Declaration. This group warns of the danger of livestock, fundamental to human societies, falling “victim to fanaticism” and is out to prove that many of the negative claims about meat in our diet are false.

In particular, scientists stress that meats provide the human dietary intake of vitamin B12 and play an important role in supplying retinol, omega-3 fatty acids, minerals such as iron and zinc, and compounds essential for metabolisms such as taurine and creatine.

There is no vegan equivalent to meet these nutritional needs, and a range of supplements are often required to keep them healthy. Only the wealthy have the means to give up meat to make up for the subsequent deficiencies.

So, they claim that veganism is a first-world ideology ignored by the overwhelming majority of the world’s population.

Even in India, a developing nation often cited by anti-meat activists for its religious stance against killing animals, 70% of the population consumes meat. It is no accident that the Sanskrit word for “war” etymologically means “fight over cows.”

Previous studies (such as the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study, published in The Lancet in 2020) warning about the “dangers” of meat are also being discredited.

Dr. Alice Stanton of the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland, one of the authors of a review of anti-meat claims, notes that “the published peer-reviewed evidence reaffirms that the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Risk Factor Report that claimed that consuming even small amounts of red meat harms health is fatally flawed scientifically…”

“Eliminating fresh meat and dairy products from diets would harm human health. Women, children, the elderly, and those on low incomes would be particularly adversely affected.”

Why the brains of globalism are hell-bent on getting us to give up meat is a mystery but also a fact known to everyone.

Pro-vegan research tends to be funded by globalist institutions such as the UN and the Davos Forum, which have clarified that they want meat to become a “rare treat” rather than a dietary staple.

This would be achieved by various means, but a primary tool would be a tax on emissions from farmers and agricultural products, leading to artificially higher prices.

The UN hopes to drive much of the population away from meat by making it unaffordable.

The UN’s expressed goal is to impose a meat- and dairy-free diet by 2050 to “fight climate change,” greatly exaggerating the amount of methane from livestock that contributes to total emissions.
