You may want to reevaluate what you mean by "science supports what I'm saying." Did you know that anything you eat can kill you if you eat enough of it? Maybe you shouldn't eat anything at all! It's SCIENCE!
The reasoning you're putting forward is the same level of argumentation that people put forward for homeopathic remedies for things. I'm also reminded of the dihydrogen monoxide articles that scientifically illiterate people read and get panicky over.
Maybe we should look at the information that's available:
Eggs:

Based on current evidence, the relationship between eggs and heart health is neutral. This means that they neither increase nor decrease the risk of heart disease in most people. Eggs can contribute to healthy meals and are a healthy snack option compared to discretionary foods.
And in case you're getting weird ideas, here's what the heart foundation does:
Quote:
We fund life-saving heart research and work to improve heart disease prevention and care for all Australians.
So, yeah... totally biased information here. There's no way that this organization would possibly put forward factual information about the relationship between eggs and heart disease, right? They're just bought off by the chicken industry.
<sigh>

So ya I think it’s the meat and dairy lobby forcing us to stay sick.
You're free to think whatever you want. The fact that you thought it doesn't make it either true or convincing.
Quote:
And as far as thousands of years ago people didn’t eat the amount of meat and dairy because mostly there wasn’t farms raising animals for slaughter on the massive scale like it is done today. You should research big pharma and tell me they don’t want everyone heavily medicated. When you get sick the doctor tells you to not eat or drink dairy? I wonder why that is...
Clearly, it's a massive conspiracy. Did you know that 100% of people who visit the doctor eventually die? That's right! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM DIES! And do you know who dies at a higher frequency? Sick people and old people. Doctors are really in the business of killing sick and old people. I don't know why anyone who is sick or old would ever want to visit a doctor.

You’re whole argument is disingenuous and it seems you’re too married to your world views to ever consider change. Before you obfuscate and debate just realize I once was a meat eater who loved cheese. I was able to crush my ego enough to accept I was wrong all those years? Can you do the same?
So. Much. Irony.
The *classic* fallback position of conspiracy theorists is to put forward "I'm woke, you're not" argumentation when their other arguments are shown to be false. Because really, it has nothing to do with facts or information. It's clearly just an ego problem that most of the rest of the world has, except for those few "woke" people who see reality for what it really is, and all of the other mindless peons that are just following along have no clue what they're talking about because they've reached different conclusions from you.
Edit: You were doing so much better when you were sticking to the Socratic method and just asking questions. Because when you stopped asking questions and started making assertions, you showed how bad your logic is. At least when you're asking questions, we would just say that the questions are asinine or something like that. But now your reasoning has been laid bare, and you clearly have nothing of intellectual merit to present us.
