He could even be right, you know, since "nearly all" meat eaters are also eating exorbitant amounts of processed grains, sugar, dairy, soy, and other stuff that's bad for you. The main thing I have learned from perusing nutritional studies on rats, in which any change seems to be an improvement, is that rat chow must be very very bad for them. The SAD is the same: almost any change is a change for the better, at least in the short run.
