Being unfamiliar with the author, I have no clue if he's highly reputable, just another random person spouting their opinion as fact, or anywhere in between.
Whenever I read articles like this, I think "what high school let this guy graduate without learning how to give footnotes??" Without a source to back it up, it's an opinion (or gossip) at best.
I just have to add that I find it surreal to be turned into the advocate for meat because I play devil's advocate. (Yes, I can see the irony to that sentence.) I'm not a die-hard carnivore and like to eat red meat more rarely than what I've learned is optimal for a woman of my age.
