Thanks for reminding my why I quit reading Non Sequitur.
Ya, they just have an ideological hatred of meat and people who eat it. They ignore that plants bleed when you cut them, feel pain, and communicate with each other but they are viewed as lesser life forms so its totally cool to murder them and stuff them in their bellies.
I had a doctor tell me vegetable oil has cholesterol in it. So this is hardly surprising.
“Subjects who were weekly consumers of all meats were 29% more likely to develop diabetes than those who ate no meat”.
Sometimes I cover at the NEWSTART Program when a physician goes on vacation. I routinely see people with type 2 DM and other lifestyle conditions show significant, often marked improvement within the first couple of weeks. Their program is comprehensive and includes a vegan diet.
Cure diabetes by eating more carbohydrates!

The opposition to eating meat is religious, not scientific.
I don’t know where to start with how unscientific that study was, at least based on your description of it.
Correlation is not causation. That study seems like a load of hogwash to me.
PS: I have also seen studies claiming vegans have more nervous breakdowns and a higher suicide rate.
“who knew that meat causes diabetes?”
I still don’t know this.
No one knows this, there are people who “think” this, but they’re wrong.
“The researchers found that increasing the consumption of red meat can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 48 percent”.

“Epidemiological studies made by questionnaires are not accurate, and they never prove causation, no matter how big and how good the statistics are,” said Dr. Joel Zonszein, director of the Clinical Diabetes Center at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City.
Longitudinal studies like that are completely uncontrolled. We don’t know what other things those meat eaters were doing, in terms of diet or anything else. Maybe they started eating more bread when they increased the meat (assuming they actually did increase the meat). If they were upping their hamburger intake, it’s the bun that was increasing the diabetes. That’s junk science, especially in the comments about saturated fat causing diabetes. There is zero scientific evidence of that.

What’s wrong with the design of this study?
