To be honest, Mado’s research results were not of a high caliber.

Sui Xiong was not someone who had researched health and food, but previously on Earth, he had easy access to information regarding this topic. He would get an advertisement or spam mail on this topic in his email inbox every few days. His relatives often consulted him on this topic as well, allowing him to learn more through discussions with them.

Who said that university students had to know everything!? Even though he was knowledgeable, he still had limits in what he knew about this topic. However, at this current moment, he decided to take some time to revise his facts as he wanted to have a clearer idea while listening to this speech.

According to him, Mado’s thinking had many flaws. It was true that in this world, the animal with the best reproductive capacity was a carnivorous fish, and the animal with the longest life expectancy was that of a carnivorous giant dragon; those were all good examples to prove his point. However, on land, among those with better reproductive capacity, there wasn’t a huge difference between carnivorous and vegetarian creatures.

On Earth, apart from a few paranoid vegetarian activists, most people promoted an active diet. People believed that one should consume a variety of foods in moderation. As for the vegetarian activists, they were able to gain enough nutrients despite their limited diet by using advanced, processed plant protein to replace animal protein.

Sui Xiong remembered seeing a recommendation where a food scientist had visited a Buddhist temple to calculate the life expectancy of vegetarian Buddhist monks. The research had proved that they had a slighter shorter life expectancy as compared to the average person. A lot of monks were similar in the sense that normally, they were considered healthy, but once they had fallen sick, they were usually unable to recover and would pass away shortly after.

However, the scientists on Earth had not really found much data on people who ate meat as it was hard to find human carnivores other than those who were strange. For example, among the citizens in China (which he was most familiar with), be it those in the North or South, it was easy to find someone who did not eat meat but hard to find someone who was fully carnivorous as this would mean they did not consume rice as well. It was hard to find someone who did not eat rice in an Asian country!

Even those in the West ate wheat, potatoes or corn. To fully remove these staples from one’s diet was extremely difficult.

However, according to Mado, it was possible, and one could even be healthier by doing so.

He had gathered some volunteers to participate in his experiment. Some had been purely vegetarian and refrained from eating any form of meat. On the other hand, some only ate meat and did not eat any vegetables or carbohydrates. After a few months, he found that both diets created certain health issues, but overall, those of the pure vegetarians were more severe when compared to the carnivorous group.

Did this research even have any meaning?

Sui Xiong was a little confused and was unsure of what Mado was trying to prove. To him, food research should be done with the goal of figuring out which foods should be paired with what. He was not the only one who thought so; some members of the crowd began to speak up.

This issue seemed to be what Mado hoped one would raise, and he smiled in satisfaction before sharing the crux of his research.

Those who were carnivorous were able to increase their professional ability with more ease!

When he mentioned this, the audience came to a sudden realization as well.
