    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physicians_Committee_for_Responsible_Medicine

    Political lobby group

    To promote non-animal methods in research and education (opposition to animal testing) and a plant-based diet for disease prevention

    A political action group is hardly an objective scientific third party providing dispassionate evaluation of science.

    We could rewrite the article title as “Vegan organization tells MAHA to not eat animals”

      That doesn’t “discredit “what they have to say automatically. This comment would fall under the appeal to bias logical fallacy.

        Agreed, it absolutely doesn’t discredit what they say.

        But the group name and headline are written in such a way that it sounds like a unbiased independent research organization made a conclusion based on rigorous science, so its worthwhile to be clear about the biases of the headline.

        PS I’m only downvoting you here because you downvoted me, fair is fair.

          Yup, they’re “full of toxins” according to carnivore grifters.

          Carnivore here, we aren’t against vegetables as a idea, you do you, but we don’t see them as necessary, and some people can’t tolerate them (allergies, gluten, lectins, etc)

        Nobody says that all vegetables are ultraprocessed, that would be a silly statement to make. However, UPFs are mostly made with plant material.
