"Sounds like you prefer another set of gurus. Perhaps the mystic eastern touchy-feely save-the-trees and spare-the-poor-animals cult? Good for you. Just don't try to pass it off as somehow nutritionally or scientifically sound."
No, nothing so complex, I prefer science. But your speculation does highlight one aspect of followers of lifestyle cults, they always assume those with another perspective a member of an opposing cult, it takes one to know one and all that, one presumes. Scientific soundness comes with cconcensus building in the give and take among groups based on data, not cults of cast in concrete recieved "truth".
