What on earth is the C.T. lobby? Is there a bacon lovers' association? I need to picket them or harass them in some way, but where can I find them? If you had actually read about Dr. Campbell's credentials as an international authority on nutrition, or delved into the Amazon reviews and the China Study website somewhat analytically instead of immediately calling him names and posting a right-wing Big Meat/Monsanto sponsored critique, I would have listened carefully to what you said. But you didn't do that. You also revealed yourself as someone who doesn't even know that Ph.D. is an appropriate title for a research scientist. The fact that his book discusses the results of international research done over many decades and incorporates many separate studies makes it difficult for Dr. Campbell to alter data or come to a lame conclusion. And you never explained why the child of dairy farmers whose early research goal was to build even more protein into meat and dairy products suddenly realized that a vegan diet was healthier. So what was his motivation? Perhaps the research convinced him. Your entire goal was to attack, and it seemed very lame and unthinking. I am really careful to separate fact from fiction. This doctor was invited to speak at a hospital. This is not the fraud/quack you called him. So I either have to assume you are part of some strange conspiracy theory organization or perhaps a right-wing fanatic acting on his own regarding this subject. It just seemed a very strange thing to get so hostile about, when everyone knows that the typical Western, meat-based diet is not very healthy.
