The WHO says all red meat is potentially carcinogenic. That includes beef, sheep, deer/elk, squirrels, bears, etc. That isn’t really a reason to single out pork.

Also, the WHO is trash and the evidence supporting red meat being carcinogenic and bad for you in general is very low quality and it is irresponsible to include it in broadly disseminated government supported health guidelines.
Is this the same people wanting us to eat bugs and cut back on livestock to save the planet?
 
🤔 Is it that they see it as “their truth” so it feels like you’re attacking them while you think you are trying to discuss what is true and what is not? I’m really trying to understand this.
Part of it is the supposed arrogance of thinking you can have the "truth", or that our "truth" is any better than anyone else's.

Postmodernism teaches that there is no objective truth, and that all claims to have truth are a repressive mechanism used to exert power over people. Now, it doesn't take long to figure out that both statements are self-defeating.

The statement that there are no objective truths is given as an objective truth. It's claimed as true for everyone and not just the one making the claim. Thus, if it's true, then it must be false. The statement itself is a self-defeater.

Which leads to the second self-defeater. If all truth claims are a repressive control mechanism, and postmodernism is making that truth-claim, then... Postmodernism is merely a repressive control mechanism that should be discounted.

Interestingly, look at cancel-culture and you'll see how it's been used as a repressive form of control.
 
I always find the debate on hating rivals interesting. I too had a staunch policy until some cousins and a brother in law joined the mix with rival affiliations, and i became older. I don't like their teams, but I like all of them, and they are fantastic to talk football with as long is it is shared rival. My one cousin gets some extra annoyance from me because he is insufferable (UGA) in winning, but takes his losses well enough.

As far as the Bama love I have been claimed to possess. I do hate them probably second to UF, but I will confess I am pretty impressed with what Saban has achieved. I have talked about them more than normal this year, because I think this may be one of Saban's best coaching performances, and the man is 70.
He will finish as likely the goat. IMO not as a Bama coach, just as a coach. I think there are a couple of schools Saban could have performed his feats at. Some maybe even easier than Bama. It was just our unfortunate luck he ended up at Bama. For that i truly despise them.

Same as it was Vandy's and Bama's luck that Neyland ended up with us. I can always respect greatness when I see it. I hate Tom Brady with a passion, but he was a bad ass.
