Maple Lodge Farms is caught once again mistreating animals at their slaughterhouse

They actually take far more land, and damage wild life much more. If everyone ate plant based proteins, instead of meat, we would have far less land for wildlife.

Moreover, with recent science and medical discoveries, we are learning animal meats and fats are good for us. Particularly, saturated fat.

Some info on Ketogenic diets (low carb, high saturated fats)

The ketone body metabolizing enzymes 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (BDH1 and 2), 3-oxoacid-CoA transferase 1 (OXCT1) and acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) were expressed at the mRNA and protein level in all glioma cell lines. However, no activation of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1a (HIF-1a) pathway was observed in glioma cells, consistent with the absence of substantial 3-hydroxybutyrate metabolism and subsequent accumulation of succinate. Further, 3-hydroxybutyrate rescued hippocampal neurons from glucose withdrawal-induced cell death but did not protect glioma cell lines. In hypoxia, mRNA expression of OXCT1, ACAT1, BDH1 and 2 was downregulated. In vivo, the ketogenic diet led to a robust increase of blood 3-hydroxybutyrate, but did not alter blood glucose levels or improve survival.
