Comedy gold, but sad.
Logical fallacy, Appeal to Mockery.
Unable to counter the truth of what I said with a valid argument, you can only try to mock it.
Of course not. But given that in 2016 36% of adults in the US were obese something should maybe change, given how much obesity causes premature death:
Obesity
Again, that'll be helpful to a lot of people.
Logical fallacy, "Politician's Syllogism".
Which takes the form of:
- We must do something
- This is something
- Therefore, we must do this
You don't prove something is the right course of action to take simply because you think a course of action must be taken, and any course of action therefore becomes automatically right or good.
In fact, the opposite is true in this case. I already gave many reasons why removing all animal products from the typical American's diet would lead to a reduction in health, not an increase. You haven't attempted to deal with any of those arguments.
I've been a vegetarian for nigh on 40 years and I can't believe I've been so lucky not to fall for that mistake.
If you are a vegetarian you're still capable of eating animal protein like eggs or milk. That's not the same as veganism, which would exclude eggs and milk.
It's also a fallacy for you to try to claim that your standard American would automatically be healthier by simply cutting meat out of their diet and becoming vegetarian. Because sugar filled cake and pastries are vegetarian. Candy is vegetarian. Pizza can be vegetarian. A big buttery bowl of cheese filled pasta can be vegetarian. I can think of a million ways people can kill themselves and get sick on a vegetarian diet in the USA. There's nothing about a vegetarian diet that is inherently healthier than one with meat. Someone eating mostly fresh fruit and produce with a little bit of meat and eggs in their diet will be vastly healthier and longer lived than someone who is chowing down on truckloads of cake, candy, ice cream, and vegetarian pizza all day. Everything else you're doing with your diet will matter far more to your health than the inclusion or exclusion of meat.
