Second, the life expectancy increased dramatically in the past 200 years, and so did the individual consumption of meat. Whenever people COULD consume more meat, they WOULD. And they would become stronger and more healthy.
Similarly, while India is at the bottom of meat consumption, it is also at the bottom of life expectancy.
Once again I know correlation is not causation, but I challenge the vegans to produce unbiased stories proving that eating meat is unhealthy. What is probably unhealthy is to overeat and to avoid exercising.
And in other news, there is a perfect correlation with people who drink water and death. Meat consumption is directly related to economic wealth of a country, which, in turn, is related to social welfare and health programs, which, in turn, lead to greater life expectancy.
