In all fairness, Susan, I don't think CSPI pushes vegetarianism that
much. Certainly not in Nutrition Action. That book I mentioned does
promote it somewhat on environmental, health and animal cruelty
grounds, but that is not the main push of their organization. They
are much more mainstream than that. Mainly they are trying to do
things like ban trans fats, get the food companies to stop marketing
junk food to kids, and expose conflicts of interest.

I haven't read their junk or paid attention to them in years. But they sure did heavily promote ersatz meat replacements and vegetarianism (including Ornish's brand of it) when I was a subscriber. I think Jacobsen was/is veggie and clearly that is a bias.


Anyway, why do you call vegetarianism "crap"? If someone wants to be
a vegetarian or to argue for that point of view, why does that bother
you? Live and let live.

It doesn't bother me if they live that way or argue the POV in ways that don't advance it with false assertions and bogus science.

I don't care what anyone else decides to eat. I care about everyone telling the truth and being objective.
