Why I take exception to labeling people or groups as “evil” 👹

|

Evil is a very problematic word in my mind. When you call a person or group as “evil” you dehumanize them. The concept of evil makes it acceptable to abuse and denegrate the people or group you have labeled as “evil”. If something is evil, then that’s a justification to attack it no matter the costs.

A lot of good people get swept up in label of evil.

More than one serving of red meat a day may drive up the risk of Type 2 diabetes : Shots – Health News : NPR

People who routinely eat a lot of red meat may be increasing their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, according to a new study. Processed meats, like bacon and hot dogs, are linked to an even higher risk.

Researchers tracked the eating habits of more than 200,000 people enrolled in long-term health studies for up to 36 years and found that those who regularly consumed a lot of red meat — more than a serving per day — had a significantly higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
