It's not
about being liberal or conservative anymore y'all. That is a hype offered by the fascist whores who want to confuse the people with lies while they turn this country into an aristocratic police state. Some people will say anything to attain power and money. There is no such thing as the Liberal Media, but the Corporate media is very real.
An American history of interested parties propping up a charlatan because ... profits.

Rhetorical B*tch slapping
Billionaires and exceptionally wealthy people fund political action groups that spend money on dishonest flyers in voter mailboxes and fund untruthful advertisements to sway voters to vote for candidates that the billionaires support. Billionaires pay people who get appointed to District Attorney more than $130,000 shuffled through shell companies, and then said District Attorney dissembles. When someone works as a political consultant, the go between the exceptionally wealthy and the politicians they fund, that person is part and parcel of fulfilling the interests of the exceptionally wealthy.
You don’t have to call these real events evil. I just call it the truth.
Feel free to read the initiating opinion and all of the comments.

ex vegan testimony
A four year vegan, begins to start eating animal products and discusses the 5 benefits she noticed.
I love the southern accent.
Skin tone improved : greyish tone became more vibrant
Able to keep on muscle
Teeth
Texture of hair
Eyes
All of the above makes sense. Humans don't digest plant proteins very well. Our bodies also prioritize saturated fats because they are stable. The minerals and vitamins in animal foods are also vastly more bio-available than plants.
I like the story about the "toxic hair". Your hair is largely protein and fat, so the quality of fats and proteins will dictate the quality of your hair. High quality protein and saturated fats will result in healthy hair.
The same is true of the tissues in your eyes, which rely on Vitamin A (called retinol), and animal vitamin A is 100% bio-available. The beta-carotene and other precursors to Vitamin A that you get from plants have to be converted by the liver, and the rate of conversion is around 10% or less.

Analyzing a specious scientific paper
Here is the skinny. The data is unable to inform on risk. The proxy outcome markers are suspect. The data sources are also noisy and riddled with confounding factors.

You don't need Fiber
He is a little rough around the edges, but Bart Kay is my fav educator. He eviscerates ignorance.
The idea of Fiber was promoted by the processed food industry to convince us that "fortified" sawdust was necessary because ... fiber.
In my opinion, as soon as what you are eating is described as being "fortified" that means you are eating franken-food. Adding artificial and chemical based vitamins and nutrients is not something our biology can handle or absorb without side-effects. Most of what is added is not even something that is easily absorbed by our bodies.
You don't need fiber. At all. You don't have to worry about it either.

Seed oils are bad for you
You need to read the ingredients of everything you eat. If you see a seed oil on the list of ingredients, you should not eat that food. Olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, and palm oil are minor exceptions, although you shouldn't rely on them as a staple, because monounsaturated fats do still oxidize a little bit. There is also the issue of the ecological destruction that involves palm oil.
I rely on butter, lard, bacon and beef drippings for most of my fats. The olive and avocado oil I use is relatively small in comparison, and I only cook with avocado oil if I'm cooking using heat more than Low. You should be very careful with cooking using olive oil because there will be an increase in toxic end-products like aldehyde. It will be a lot less than seed oils, but it isn't negligible either.
When we expose ourselves to these highly polyunsaturated fat products, we introduce fats that are highly unstable into our cells and mitochondria, which produces free-radicals and oxidized toxic end-products that damage our cells and our mitochondria. This leads to inflammation and an increased load on our immune system, such that we become more vulnerable to all the viruses floating around. The Vitamin D issue being touted around isn't irrelevant, but it's also overhyped as to the actually more relevant matter, the effect of dosing ourselves with too much polyunsaturated fats.
And yes this means sunflower oil and sesame oil. If you season a dish with sesame oil, even if it's just a teaspoon, you are getting oxidized fats. You are also getting toxic end-products if you stir fry with sesame oil. This is why I don't stir fry anymore, and if I want to season a dish with sesame oil, I add it last, when I'm cooking the dish over low heat and have already added the healthy animal fats.

We are supposed to include animal products
The degree to which you incorporate animal products and specific plant based foods is up to you and your genetics, but you must include some animal products because that's what our species is meant to eat. Even if all you do is include butter, cheese, fish, or eggs.

Dr. Hampton
Modern vegetables are typically grown in degraded top soil, where the bacteria in the soil are insufficient to break down and chelate the various plant nutrients that plants take up through their roots. Pesticides (particularly glyphosate) drastically reduce the ground bacteria. Petrochemical fertilizer also has an effect because petrochemical based fertilizer is different than animal dung.
Plant based nutrients are also typically less bioavailable, so you need to eat more mass (weight) to achieve the same basal level of nutrition and energy requirements. Processing more mass is more taxing on the bodies digestion-enzyme-hormonal system. It's like driving a car using gasoline that gets 15 miles per gallon instead of 21 or 25 or even 30. Since there is an upper limit to this system, that means you can only achieve so much from plant based food once you get to the upper limit of what your body can process.
