Strange, I'd heard it was refined carbs and sugar giving America diabetes and heart disease. Are you saying it's meat now?

I believe the topic is "Climate Change" so I don't know why you're talking about diabetes and heart disease.

The argument is probably that meat production emits higher levels of carbon than other types of food production.

Unrelated, meat does have an impact on diabetes and heart disease, so if you're concerned about those things, then you should definitely learn more about it.

Red meat is known to increase risk of heart diseases.
