Anemia Would Rise in Climate Obsessed’s Meatless Dystopia

Iron deficiency — and the anemia it causes — remains a persistent global health issue that can only be exacerbated by a war on meat waged by climate alarmists, whose hostility to animal protein is a manifestation of an anti-human ideology.

Growing up in South Asia, I observed a dietary practice in India where moderate consumption of red meat was prescribed by doctors for individuals with severe anemia, especially women during pregnancy. According to the World Health Organization, more than 40% of children and pregnant women in India and parts of Sub-Saharan Africa are anemic.

The most common symptom of anemia is persistent fatigue, a product of the inability of iron-starved red blood cells to adequately supply oxygen to the body. The cardiovascular system is stressed significantly by the condition.

Oh please!  There are bugs aplenty to make up the difference.

More to it than that. Without a very carefully selected diet, the absence of red meat means a primary source of zinc is not present in the food they eat.

Zinc has been shown to have antiviral properties, and is important to immune system function.

Many of those who died from COVID, aside from having other comorbidities, were on "healthy diets" in institutional settings, which used fish and chicken as protein sources but limited red meat.

Exactly. Zinc is crucial to fighting off illness and there are different types of zinc with zinc picolinate being the most easily absorbed form of zinc.  Zinc in general is an immune booster.

True but too much zinc will cause a copper deficiency and that if serious enough will negative effect the neurons and their ability to properly communicate and that has very very serious consequences.

Ask me how I know.

Too much beer has a similar effect...

How many crickets must one catch and eat to obtain the same benefits (protein, minerals, etc.) as are in a 4 ounce serving of beef, I wonder?
