This is a pretty transparent isolated demand for rigor. Can you tell me you’ve never uncritically cited surveys of self-reported data that make veg*n diets look good?
This is a pretty transparent isolated demand for rigor.
I don’t see what you mean. I thought an isolated demand for rigor is when you demand rigor selectively. But I am similarly skeptical of health claims about diets in almost every circumstance. Can you explain what you think I’m being selective about?

It’s hard to go back and check, and maybe I said some things when I was e.g. 16 that I wouldn’t stand by today, but I honestly don’t think I’ve taken this strategy at all. In my life I mostly remember being highly skeptical of self-reported health data, especially when it comes to asking people about causal effects. That’s not a vegan thing. That’s just my take on the value of the scientific method over anecdotes, self-reported data, and personal speculation. Do you have any evidence otherwise?
