How to Feed Humans? Like a Species
We are a species. Perhaps that’s a bit of a blow to our modern, so-over-biology, Homo sapien arrogance; but it’s true just the same. Like every other inter-breeding group of organisms on the planet with common ancestors, corresponding expanses of DNA, and offspring who survive, thrive, and pass it all along to yet another generation - we are a species.

The specific harms these papers tabulate (see Table 1) include all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes. Eating more meat and processed meat contribute to all of these- so say these research papers just out in the Annals, and sure to dominate the health news for some time (and likely doing so already).
