Sorry to be the pest but would you mind linking me to one or two of those studies? It's a ruddy long thread to trawl through, I've only been dipping in and out.

jg2014, go back about 10 pages and read what Enrico is saying. If you agree with him, I shall have to conclude that you too are a nutcase.

As I already said, he is taking nonsense most of the time. But that does not mean that there are not grains of truth here and there. Another example is the similarity between the effects of taking certain drugs and meat. Both can cause activation of dopaminergic neurons to cause feelings of pleasure. Different mechanisms are involved of course, and I don't believe people can be addicted to meat in same way as one can be addicted to drugs, but you could argue that the pleasure meat brings reinforces the attempts to ethically justify it.
