For over 40 years I believed every single person who told me that fruit & veg was “healthy”
Now I eat mainly meat
I haven’t been brainwashed
I’m not following an ‘influencer’
I didn’t hear about it on you tube
I *TRIED* zero carb. With an open mind
*A THREAD*

This is my Mum, today.
She has lived a plant-based lifestyle in line with the food pyramid
She has always avoided animal fat & cholesterol
She has never smoked
She might have a glass of wine at Christmas
She followed her doctor’s advice and took statins

She has Alzheimer’s and Lewy Body dementia. Did you know you can have more than one type of dementia?
She has dementia-induced psychosis - paranoia & hallucinations
She had surgery for a broken hip on Sunday
She can’t walk but can’t remember that so she’s a hazard to herself

I’m not a meat advocate for fun
(I lived as a vegetarian for 10 years)
I’m not doing this to be cool or on trend or to pick arguments with anybody else
Of course in our twenties and thirties it’s possible to eat pretty much anything and appear healthy. I did

But go into a geriatric ward
Or look at the older generation that you see where you live
Look at all the signs of terrible, terrible I’ll health that is endemic in our societies
Look at your own families and relatives
The plant based paradigm is a failure

Sugar. Flour. Grains.
Plant based food
Ultra processed food
However you want to label them - they have terrible health consequences
They are toxic

And yes the environment is important to me
If you think vegan food is better for the environment then it’s time to wake up
And yes I care about animal welfare
Do you think farmers don’t care about their livestock?

Life is not simple
Ethical problems are challenging
A lot of the things we believe turn out to be false one way or another
But I’m constantly trying to learn. I’m constantly trying to do the best for my health & my family’s health

I’m trying to pass on the knowledge that I have been given to benefits others
So if you want to ridicule me because you think you have found all the answers and I’m wrong, then our outlook is very, very different
