Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life, a study says
Liz O'Neill, of the Vegetarian Society, said: "We've always known that vegetarianism is an intelligent, compassionate choice benefiting animals, people and the environment.
And so is the ability to admit that you MAY be incorrect on the subject and that your ABSOLUTE position should be toned down....like your scientists'
If they KNOW they are right, then they should say so. The fact that they hedge speaks for itself.

Assertion made with confidence should only be made in company of good evidence. The greater the evidence the more weight that can be ascribed to the assertion.
Much more likely to get cancer if you smoke everyday, multiple times a day. You have a cigarette or two a week only and it's almost no problem at all for your body.....same thing with meat
MODERATION (with meat, both portion control and frequency)!
PS I hate cigarettes
Quote from killthesunshine:
cig smoking may cause lung cancer. it is well known that cig smoking is a cause of lung cancer. is this a hedge?
what is perfect knowledge? it's a work in progress like all of scientific endeavor but we know a hell of a lot more now about the ill health and longevity effects of FAT in general and MEAT in particular.
I'm pretty sure that the science yields GREATLY DIFFERENT results for those who consume meat everyday, at all meals vrs those who eat it a few times a week.
My problem with your position is you are so black and white. The world we live in is grey (because of the smog ). Seriously though, too much of anything isn't good for you. Ever eat 4 times the daily recommended dose of fiber?? Holy shit...well lets just say you'll have stomach issues.

of course the deadly effect of the poison is in the dose. but even a little poison three times per is still poison nonetheless eventually it catches up with you
black & white? here is some B&W for you.. there is NO known necessity to consume SAT or TRANS FAT in one's diet. that is called a FACT! no "may" there
I eat much more than 4 times the fiber EVERY DAY w/o problem. In fact, i'm proud of it! Fiber is healthy! BTW,
THERE IS NO HEALTHY FIBER IN MEAT! BUT LOTS OF UNHEALTHY FAT!
