> All of which exist in plant based food too.
Yeah of course, that's why I think the modern take on vegetarianism/veganism is bs, every trend is corrupted by consumerism and the easiest way to make a profit is selling processed food (mostly byproducts of other industries) with a "vegan" sticker on it
> specifically overeating plant based foods
Can't find anything about that, any sources ? I can find dozen of studies linking meat over consumption to obesity and health issues in general, a few linking plant based diets to lower risk of getting overweight/obese but none linking vegetarianism to obesity.
> Diabetes isn’t caused by meat, it’s caused by sugar
Oh don't worry, they also add sugar to meat based processed food, they add sugar to pretty much everything. Ah, and you're wrong:

> If you care about people's heath, surely you'll tell them to eat more meat.
I doubt it, the average american already it 120+kg of meat a year... and it's strongly associated to all kind of health issues already.
