No one can convince me dairy is wrong. Dairy isn't hurting animals, it is working together with animals. ****ing teamwork.
Ahhh, the miracle of natural selection http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/active/mens-health/11172519/Vegetarians-have-much-lower-sperm-counts.html Plus, wouldn't vegan sperm avoid eggs?
Like any good study, this raises a lot more questions. There seems to be a pesticide link. Could they repeat the study with a population eating "organic" or whatever produce, without pesticide use? How responsive is sperm mobility to temporary boosts in vitamins and/or meat products? What role does soy specifically play (if they cut out soy and replaced with other legumes, does it make a difference)? If these are strict vegetarians/vegans, what is the threshold of meat consumption to offset these changes, assuming it isn't due to pesticides? And most importantly, what does the sperm count look like for a heavy meat eater, like a trucker or someone on the Atkins diet? I hypothesize if sperm count is being affected by nutrient deficiencies, you would see similar sperm counts in people who eat almost exclusively meat, dairy, and grain products-- especially if the meat and dairy is preferred well done and heavily processed. I am not objecting to the study or its findings, I'm just curious for them to follow up on these branching questions.
You know what I mean, though. I think "organic" is for people who don't understand science, but like to pretend to. Basically diet anti-vaxxers.
It generally excludes petroleum pesticides and fertilizers, but the term has been politicalized. Most buzz words on food packaging are total bullshit. Like Natural, that can mean anything the producer wants it too.
