If it was possible to prove it I believe (I can't 100% say yet because its not happened) that Gazza the Vegan (check my previous posts for details of the vegan crusade that is currently ongoing on twitter), would prove it and clear up any doubts myself that the rest of the world has. But he doesn't want to do that for some reason and keeps deflecting onto arguments about fires and evolution.
Carl Sagan summed it up well when he said, "Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence." However for this particular vegan (remember most vegans are lovely people) it seems, "extraordinary claims demand extraordinary belief."
To date the only data Gazza has showed up with is the much debunked China Study and sadly for him it showed that meat significantly protected against heart disease. so here's some more links that also critique the work.

I know Gazza will chime in with "its a conspiracy", and that they are all anti-vegan (which they aren't, and most importantly I'm not), but remember, Campbell is pro-vegan who hid the data that proved meat wasn't the killer he thought it was. Its been quite sometime waiting for his data the shows "significant statistical" evidence that "animal fat kills," and I'm not sure its ever coming.
