Thanks for the link, MsA. Watching it now. The "diet wars" have confused so many that it always seems like open season whenever something new becomes popular. The plant-based advocates and other strict dietary followers (it's not limited to plant or vegan followers) look upon any lifestyle approach as a threat if it doesn't support their ways of thinking, so the attacks begin. The vitriol recently has become more venomous. My guess is that's the only way to discredit claims, as the hateful responses are never based on studies, only emotions. Unfortunately, the world seems to be increasingly operating this way. In the past, we could have debates and dialogs presenting different ideas, now it seems everything that is not in agreement is a threat that must be attacked with unsubstantiated venom and drama. Those strident voices hiding behind incomplete science and yet reluctant to shine a light on it are the biggest challenge.
