Little background here. Before World War II, England, rather than
America, was dominant in the anglosphere, and from the restoration of
Charles the second to end of World War II, the Royal Society socially
enforced the scientific method, awarding status to people who followed
it, and denying status to people who failed to follow it.
The King was the fount of all honors, mortal and divine - which means
his job was to regulate status competition, so that wins at status were
awarded for prosocial, rather than antisocial, activity.
In the early days of the Royal Society, some people objected, objected
very strongly, to status being awarded in this fashion, and organized a
mob to thump those who received status in this fashion, whereupon
Charles the Second sent soldiers to physically back up the Royal
Society, thumping those who objected to the status awards as if they
were disorderly stray dogs, treating them like beggars, gypsies, whores
and thieves, punishing them in ways that reduced their status, rather
than martyring them.
Thereby ensuring that he held on to the role that his father lost, as
the fount of all honors mortal and divine.
And, while the Royal Society was in charge of defining and enforcing the
scientific method, science agreed that saturated fat was good for you,
and eating animals was good for you.
When Britain lost World War II and America won it, Harvard got the upper
hand over the Royal Society, and introduced "peer review", which means
that an anonymous committee of "scientists" decide official truth behind
closed doors on the basis of secret evidence, rather than following the
scientific method.
Since then, the output of "science" has generally been an indicator of
what is high status, rather than what is supported by the evidence,
saturated fats being a spectacular example of "scientists" treating
evidence, experiment, and data with total contempt.
And thus the output of "science" reveals that veganism was high status
until recently, but has recently lost status, because chicks now have
high status, chicks like slim men with big muscles, and slim men with
big muscles are invariably meat eaters.
As a result "science" is now discovering that eating tasty animals is
good for you.
