this is no longer their position
Yeah, it basically still is.
you should have quoted their true position, instead of an expired one then.
It's really weird that it seems the overriding purpose for your account is to attack vegans. You also must be really desperate, to go so far out of your way to miss the point, seeing the trees for the forest. I chose that article because it contains policy positions from several health authorities, not just one. But sure, maybe it would have been better to quote the others if one of them is technically expired, despite the fact that they actually do support the same policies, just with different wordings and in different papers. But let's look at some of the others that were sourced, and you just completely ignored. From Dieticians of Canada:
From the Association of UK Dieticians:
From the UK NHS:
And I can go on with others. But you're probably already going out of your way for another bad faith argument. By attacking my comment on the grounds of that statement being "expired", you distracted from what is relevant and matters: are the claims true. And yes, they still are, and they will continue to be. Properly planned vegan diets are nutritionally adequate for all stages of life.
if this were true, the AND would not have removed that claim from their latest position.
And now you're just outright lying. They explain directly in the updated paper why they changed things around - something that was already addressed in one of the articles I linked you to. Either you didn't bother to read it, or as I said before, you are a liar.
Those topics are literally just outside the scope of that particular paper. There's nothing about the paper itself, or any other resource on any of their other websites to suggest it means they've changed their position. From their position paper on nutrition in child care:
And from another of their articles, reviewed on June 5th 2024:
but they weren't outside the scope of their previous position.
it's clear they are making a weaker claim.
No, they are not making a weaker claim at all, especially given they make the exact same claims on their other website I already linked to. You are seriously one of the most obnoxiously dishonest, bad faith actors I have ever come across. Get your head out of your ass.
if you don't like intellectual honesty and scientific rigor, I'll be happy to help you find the block button
There's nothing honest or rigorous about your commentary. You're clearly a troll, plain and simple. I'm just going to keep calling you out for being full of shit.
you're calling me names and ignoring the scientific guidance, and how it has changed. you're clearly intolerant to intellectual honesty and scientific rigor.
your uk dieticians link is referencing the same now-expired AND position
Among an otherwise lengthy list of other citations, and ignoring how I've established that their position has not actually changed. You truly are skilled at honing in on the most irrelevant shit, and giving things the most bad faith interpretations possible.
yes, it has
