Q. I have been seeing products in the store that are all vegan including the use of all plant compost rather than animal manures for compost. This makes me wonder about the health of the soil. Do you know would plant compost is just as good as manures?
A. Plant compost would not have enough nitrogen in it. All compost is made with animal manure and vegetation, like hay or straw.
Q. Wondering if your organization has reviewed the science behind the claims in this article. Is the science good or manipulated?

A. It is advertising hype! A lot of money has been invested in these meat substitutes.
Q. How do you respond to this research about TMAO blood levels and animal product eaters and their gut bacteria?

I realize this website is pushing a plant based diet but I know several people who are believing this stuff.
A. Yes, just another ploy to push a plant-based diet. Here’s Chris Masterjohn’s blog on this: https://www.westonaprice.org/our-blogs/carnitine-and-heart-disease/

I’ve been seeing the coronavirus used as an excuse to push bans against wild meat (hunted), raw meat, and raw milk products. And also to admonish people to stay away from animals in general – though, conveniently, dogs and cats are treated like they can’t be disease vectors, in defiance of all sense. Seems like a plants-only agenda in a different guise, trying to do an end run against the stiff opposition they’d face if they just tried to outlaw these things on more normal grounds. If the WAP foundation has info on who’s funding the zoonosis fear-mongering and advice on how to make sure it goes nowhere, I’d like to know that.
Hi! i am curious to know how to adress to this trendy Algae consumption ( spirulina) claiming to be equal to meat. I cannot find any reliable source where there is a chard comparing nutrient amounts.
Can you help me be able to explain that to a vegan friend who claims that if fish eats algae and if she eats algae is the same thing.
Thank you!
