ly, I wouldn't bother. Debating that point is like

evolutionists debating creationists. The evidence being used by the

respecitive sides isn't even of the same type. Neither side will

produce evidence that the other will trust. On top of that, PCRM is

not a legitimate research organization. They're not even a

legitimate education or public interest organization. They are an

anti-meat propaganda tool funded by People for the Ethical Treatment

of Animals (PETA). I'm an ardent advocate of animal humane issues,

but PETA and PCRM disgust me. Legitimate activism involves education

and persuasion not misinformation, exaggeration and subterfuge.

However, if I were pressed to refute them, I'd do so first with WAP.

His healthy primitives consumed moderate to high (animal) fat diets ,

yet they did not suffer diabetes...or any other chronic degenerative

disease. Secondly I'd point out that fat consumption in general, and

saturated fat consumption in particular has fallen throughout those

periods of time in which diabetes has risen the most

precipitously...especially the last thirty years which has seen

dramatic decreases in animal fat consumption accompanied by a three-

fold increase in the number of people with diabetes.
