"The Right’s ‘Natural’ Meat Obsession Is a Regressive Fantasy" by @sentientmedia

<💬>
Another component for Kennedy of what constitutes “natural” is taking on things like red food dye, seed oils and ultra-processed foods — while promoting tallow, raw milk and grass-fed beef.

Vegans often are faced with fallacious arguments, and one of the most common is the Naturalistic fallacy.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturali

However, this is often a bad faith disguise. The use of naturalistic fallacies in these contexts, such as the claim that consuming animals is "good" because it's natural, is a disguise for another more insidious fallacy: the traditionalist fallacy or "appeal to tradition".

simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appe

The traditionalist fallacy is, in this context, the argument that "consuming animals is good because we've done it for thousands of years".

Traditionalism is heavily political, as the people are finding out again in places such as the US. It's sometimes known as "paleoconservatism", and it should be no surprise that the popularity of the "paleo diet" culturally connects to this.

Conservatives, ever since the rise of modernity (end of 'traditional' society, end of monarchism and feudalism) have been trying to reinvent the past through pseudointellectual and pseudoscientific efforts. This has been at the heart of incredible amounts of suffering and horror since then. I have some notes on that on my pinned thread: veganism.social/deck/@veganpiz

Bullshit & snake oil are not vegan.

A support cheers for Robert F. Kennedy Jr

Congratulations to Elisa Ziegler and the Palmod co-authors on the new paper on #paleo #climatechange in the journal Climate of the Past 🎉
Our new paper looks into systematic changes in higher-order moments of temperature and precipitation distributions based on 💻 simulations of the 27000 years of climate. This is interesting, because from the 🧊 Glacial Maximum 21 thousand years ago to today the 🌍 warmed by around 5 degrees🌡️, leading to the loss of ice sheets over the Deglaciation, and culminating in the warm Holocene -- every step of the way led to changes in climate dynamics 🌬️ 🌄.

it's #SauropodSunday , and today were celebrating this paper, in which most of the backbones formerly known as Saurophaganax are promoted to sauropod status! Congratulations to the dinosaur bones formerly known as Saurophaganax. A few remaining odds and ends were used to describe the new species Allosaurus anax, the third species in the genus Allosaurus.

Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week · About that Saurophaganax paper

Years ago, I went on the (terribly-titled) paleo diet because it worked for me. I had a lot of issues with grain, with lentils, and with a few of the other no-no foods on the diet. I had a terrible time finding any sort of restaurant where I could eat anything other than a plain tossed salad, so I was really excited when I found a restaurant that advertised itself as serving paleo foods. I went in and looked at the menu and was immediately confused. Most of the items didn't seem to be paleo, even though they were listed as such.

I called the waitstaff over to ask them what the bun on the paleo burger was made of. They looked at me like I'd lost my mind. "It's a bun? So, like flour and stuff?"

"But that's not paleo," I said. "Are there grains and such in the meat, too?"

"I don't know," she said. "I just cook the stuff."

I ended up leaving without eating because I couldn't be sure the food wouldn't make me sick. But seriously, how does the cook not know what they are cooking?

I don't eat nearly as restrictively now, but I do still have to be very careful with what I eat. My gut issues have a tendency of flaring up if I don't pamper them.

Forget the #paleodiet fad – study shows #cavemen dined on #plants
Our #huntergatherer ancestors ate more #vegetables than meat.
Analysis of bones and teeth found in a cave in Morocco that was inhabited about 15,000 years ago revealed the #StoneAge #diet “unequivocally” had a plant-based aspect. Acorns, pine nuts and wild pulses made up a “significant” part of #paleo diet of the prehistoric community.
