As I said, there is a grain of truth there. Eating meat increases risk of cardiovascular disease.

As does anything else. Meat is not unique in this aspect. Stop encouraging him.
Indeed, any pleasurable activity will cause activation of dopamine neurons. Eating meat however is a harmful activity, to your health, to the environment and most importantly to animals.To the extent the pleasure from eating meat supports harmful behaviour, it is similar to drugs. I am not encouraging him, and regardless I don't think Enrico even reads my posts as he has never responded to them (perhaps it doesn't fit in with this ideology that another vegan could criticise some of his views?)
