Nice! I haven't read the article yet, but going from your clips below, it
appears that the author was not brave enough to come out and say "do not eat
animals / cut down drastically on animals" While reporting that plant foods may
alleviate cancer, they skirt the issue that meat *causes* cancer (well, it
looks like they do -- I'm taking a dangerous stance by not having read the
article!)
It's great that veggies are getting good popular press these days, but is it
still an industry taboo to report on the real facts about meat?
