Farewell, then, to the Roast Beef of Old England. So keen are we in the Old Country on our Sunday roast (cooked rare and sliced thickish) that the French call us les rosbifs. But the "Professor" (for we must humor him by letting him think he is qualified to talk about nutrition) wants to put a stop to all that.
As strikingly ignorant of all but the IPCC Party Line as others in that hopeless hospice for hapless halfwits, he overlooks the fact that the great plains of what is now the United States of America were once teeming with millions upon millions of eructating, halating ruminants. Notwithstanding agriculture, there are far fewer ruminants now than there were then.

Comment: There is an incredible amount of money to be made keeping people in the dark about what helps keep them healthy, and what doesn't. While the vast majority of healthcare workers, academics and bureaucrats probably mean well and are the unwitting tools of corporate interests and their insidious groupthink, it remains for each of us to do our own thinking and research on a subject that most individuals seem willing to abdicate responsibility for.

And with that, see this small sample of the research that's been coming out on this now very rancorous topic:
