Funded by the vegan society. We object when the results of research are funded by the dairy industry because we don't like the results. Let's not be seen as idealistic hypocrites.

sorry Brian, your answer rubs me the wrong way .... what would you prefer? that the information does not get out there? I don't think any of the individual food items, say Big Kale, have the money to do these types of studies and even then would you say they are biased?

everyone has biases and we know the dairy/beef/etc industries fund studies, it is just important to know that clearly when reading them

the health care system profits on keeping people sick so even they wouldn't necessarily fund a study

that's why documentaries like You Are What You Eat are so important ...

I haven't looked into it carefully but I think the science and research part of it was just regular science and research. Only the paper on the economic aspects was funded by the Vegan Society.
