7. Your diet would kill the biosphere

if everyone did it.

I seriously doubt your anecdotal claim of being healthier for eating so much red meat. Clearly you don't have a remotely sedentary lifestyle, which is great for you - and that is probably the reason for feeling so healthy despite your heavy red-meat diet. But just because you are feeling healthier for now, doesn't mean that you really are. You do you, though.

Most people don't have an active enough lifestyle to support that kind of diet, and if 8+ billion people on the planet did, and all that red meat were being produced, we'd be in even more climate trouble than we already are.
