That's a really bad defense for a lot of things. A lot of legal things can be and are considered bad. A common example would be evading taxes, which is often done using perfectly legal loopholes.

The amount of meat people should eat is really small, if I recall correctly. It probably (but not necessarily, as I don't know the details well enough) makes even relatively small amounts of meat excessive.

Yeaaaa, that is extremely debatable.Not saying that you dont evidence to back this up, but science keeps changing its mind on how much to eat something is healthy or not.And I mean, we have been eating meat forever, and taking out exceptions, it was never harmful.Its the same about that "the healthiest way to eat is to eat something every 3 hours".I mean, that can be true, but you wont live a less fulfilling or shorter life for not doing that.

Well, there's not much I can say if you don't trust science. I kind of understand your point of view though, because regarding food, the results do indeed feel like they're constantly changing. Often, it sounds like correct results are misinterpreted, but I don't really know. Anyway, science is all we've got.

Also, your post reminds me I forgot my original point in my last post. Harmful and lethal are two different things. For all I know, red meat could be completely harmless to most people, but it could cause even lethal diseases in some people, lowering life expectancy and being harmful and lethal to some. As far as I can see, it's perfectly plausible that red meat is harmful, at least in excess. Observing the effects of some things can be very difficult and slow though, so it might seem like they don't have any effect. Food is often one such thing.

EDIT: Offtopic, but it's noticeably easier to read your text if you put a space before the word after a period. That's also how English is supposed to be written, and that's also how most people write it. Just a friendly tip!
