    Can you provide some product comparisons that include cost and nutritional value? Take into account dietary restrictions as well. Not for me personally but for anyone in general.

      No, do your own work if you actually care or are you just trying to “gotcha” me?

        The ‘gotcha’ was going to be: “Great information! This is the kind of post that might actually change someone’s mind.”

        But instead we have condescending posts/comments that assume everyone simply has the means to make a significant change in their life.

            Great! Now someone reading this thread that just learned that beef is bad has a community they can look into.

            I actually very rarely eat red meat myself but it’s for dietary reasons. Poultry and fish are my biggest source of protein but I still get a good amount from seeds, beans, etc.

        Yes, they’re just trying to “gotcha” you. They could spend five seconds and look up that information on the same device they’re posting from.

          So could the poster, but you certainly are not accusing him of trying to “gotcha” other people.

            OP? Seems like they’re asking for anecdotes and wanting to discuss it. The “gotcha” commenter seemed to clearly be insincere.

              In what way? He was clearly receptive to the link given by the other guy. The fact that you only see what you want to see is the real problem here.
