My only agenda is spreading awareness.
I said it a few times already but I support GMO's and synthetic meat as a replacement.

It's not an agenda, it's called science. You just don't want to stop eating meat akin to a drug addict who doesn't consider the health risks to doing drugs. It's called confirmation bias.

The only thing that I got out of this thread was confirmation bias.
People love meat so much that they can't accept any science that shows it might actually be harmful to them.
Actually it's called:
We're grown adults and do not take kindly to anyone dictating to us how we should live our lives.
Putting out information to people that you think helps is great. Giving people your opinion is informative, and you certainly do have a right to express it here.
Calling people like me "country bumpkins" on the other hand is not going to rally people to your cause....or get them to change their ways.
Also: stop replying to yourself please. Some of your replies are confusing because it looks like you are talking to yourself. It's hard to tell whom you may be directing your comments to.
Over the years I've seen threads on this subject. They always end the same way: people who eat meat, still do, those who do not still don't.
People make their own choices. They don't take kindly to someone insisting that only their way is the right way, and everyone else must be wrong.

Actually I face a higher risk of e coli from tofu. The local factory was shut down for repeated unsanitary conditions.
Biggest problem of mankind: people think they know everything.
Some people need to be told what to do. Facts aren't feelings.
Sorry if your way of life may feel challenged but quarantining is a necessary evil.

You are aware how unrealistic your suggestion is, how unrealistic your fear is and that for anyone who prepares their foods properly, there exists little or no risk?
Even bringing up the issues with bush meat is a bit absurd when in a discussion with people who will likely never eat bush meat in their entire lives?

That is not only irrational, it's very rude. Are you just here to troll people with this topic? Reading your posts and attitude it does seem to be the case.
Why don't you carry this further and post the actual statistics on cases of real people getting diseases from things like bush meat? Is it more dangerous in reality than say falling in a bathtub or tripping over a curb?

I'm gonna have my hamburger and I'm gonna have my macaroni gratin with ground beef..
And I'll die for it too. If the wolves and lions can eat meat then so can I, I too am a predator.
I suggest we ban liberals from eating meat, they agree with that stuff so they can carry the burden of easing our vast addiction and its footprint. If they wanna be all good and stuff that would be a great way to help the rest of us out.
