Does trying to live healthy make sense considering an imminent bird flu outbreak?

Where exactly do you think that I used argument from incredulity? And why exactly is it fallacious? I mean, if something is difficult to imagine, it is certainly less likely to be true, even though it can be true. Saying "I cannot imagine how F could be true, therefore F must be false." is arguably fallacious, but saying it is unlikely to be true is not fallacious.

The fallacy lies in your claiming it is unlikely to be true because it violates common sense.  Common sense is just another name for an innate judgement about credibility.  That's why "appeal to common sense" is another form of the fallacy.  And no, not being able to imagine something doesn't affect the odds of its likelihood.

I think you do not understand the basics of the scientific method. Being able to explain how something happens is strong evidence that it indeed happens. That is called mechanicistic evidence. It is the difference between a reasonable hypothesis and an unreasonable hypothesis.

The hypothesis that heart disease is caused by saturated fat is supported by mechanicistic evidence, because the mathematical models predict a more-or-less linear dependence of heart disease on saturated fat. The hypothesis that heart disease is caused by too much calcium is not so much, because the math does not really add up for the claim that calcium is the limiting factor in calcifying the cholesterol. The hypothesis that saturated fat cause heart disease is more likely than the hypothesis that calcium causes heart disease, and both of them are far more likely than the claim that too much protein somehow magically leads to heart disease. It is because of mechanicistic evidence, also known as personal incredulity.

Sometimes it will lead to a wrong conclusion, most famously in the case of Ignaz Semmelweis (whose idea that handwashing helps was rejected because he could not scientifically explain how it could possibly work), but there does not appear to be an alternative.

OMG!  The stupidity is overwhelming!  @FlatAssembler  You must know there are educational opportunities out there.  Maybe you don't.  I have a podcast recommendation that would help you with this gargantuan lack of education if you would be open to it.

Why would I have to be uneducated? I am a third-year computer science student, and I know very well that if you cannot explain how a program you have made works, it almost certainly does not work properly.

I only eat grass eating animals... so semi vegan?

Nope, that does nothing to protect you against heme iron.
