Why wouldn't people buy it? It's put forth by reputable science whereas the "meat is good for you" position is mostly preached by the jordan petersons of this world. At least I have better things to allocate my energies than figure out whether obvious charlatans are actually correct.

What science? The science that says that shepards who eat meat can live 100+?

Nutrition beyond basics is freakishly complex and nuanced. There is no place for blanked statements such as "meat is bad" here.

And some smokers live long lives, we should look at these things not as isolated anecdotes but as risks on population levels.

Or "meat good", for that matter.
