Political lobby group
To promote non-animal methods in research and education (opposition to animal testing) and a plant-based diet for disease prevention
A political action group is hardly an objective scientific third party providing dispassionate evaluation of science.
We could rewrite the article title as "Vegan organization tells MAHA to not eat animals"
That doesn’t “discredit “what they have to say automatically. This comment would fall under the appeal to bias logical fallacy.
this comment doesn't commit any fallacy. it is just pointing out dishonesty
Agreed, it absolutely doesn't discredit what they say.
But the group name and headline are written in such a way that it sounds like a unbiased independent research organization made a conclusion based on rigorous science, so its worthwhile to be clear about the biases of the headline.
PS I'm only downvoting you here because you downvoted me, fair is fair.
It's important to bring up the Center for Organizational Research and Education:
The organization defends the alcohol, meat, and tobacco industries and has been critical of organizations including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the Humane Society of the United States, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

Oh, was the article headline about this CORE lobby group? I must have missed that in the article.
That’s a group funded by a billionaire to slander orgs he disagrees with.
Ok, that would make a good independent post to talk about the politics in science policy!
Sounds like they will be fired and replaced by a nut job shortly
"NO NO NO, NOT LIKE THAT!"
BUT ALL VEGETABLES ARE ULTRA-PROCESSED!!!
I mean few people are actually against vegetables lmao
Yup, they’re "full of toxins" according to carnivore grifters.

Carnivore here, we aren't against vegetables as a idea, you do you, but we don't see them as necessary, and some people can't tolerate them (allergies, gluten, lectins, etc)
we don’t see them as necessary
as though it were just a matter of preference
Well, yes, the carnivore position is there is no essential nutrition missing from eating a animal tip to tail.
Eating veggies is a preference, at least biologically
Nobody says that all vegetables are ultraprocessed, that would be a silly statement to make. However, UPFs are mostly made with plant material.
People love to claim that vegans only eat processed foods 🤪
