FRÉDÉRIC LEROY His science is in the field of food microbiology and technology, both of which are very He keeps a very clean record because he knows it's important. Many of the misleading statements may be traced back to the same people, institutions, companies. Dr. Leroy doesn't sell books, refuses fees and the like. Importantly, in addition to the hard science, Dr. Leroy looks at how meat is villainized and how institutions support this bad science. We must examine why institutions are doing this. THE VILLAINIZATION OF MEAT One of the thing he looks at, is how meat is portrayed in the Daily Mail. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was about 50/50 positive/negative. Now, the "meat is bad" narrative is louder. Whatever is louder tends to be perceived as the truth, even when it's not. Twitter and the like are largely powered by newspapers who push bad science and the like. Some journals are going toward less critical, badly funded studies. They're creating, from scratch, research that benefits their viewpoint. Algorithms on social media can push these. This social media has pushed the narrative so far that some places are banning meat in small ways, but it could be a slippery slope.
