Perhaps a page listing practitioners of medicine who used to recommend anti-meat diet?

Like this,

Looking back I think there were many factors that shaped my previously held stance on nutrition.  I believe my education set me up to be susceptible to a plant-based diet.  I was educated that too much red meat is not good. I was educated to value fruits and vegetables over meat.  With this mind set, I was predisposed into believing red meat was bad for me and that the only animal protein (if any) I should eat was chicken and fish.  I became further disgusted by red meat through documentaries and books with a vegan agenda.  Red meat causes climate change, red meat decreases our life expectancy, red meat is morally bad.  This pushed me further away from red meat and meat in general. I became more focused on this ideology of health rather than listening to my own body. Without me even realizing it, I began to shape my identity around a plant-based diet.  It was really hard for me to break up with this idea of what I thought was healthy and it took me months of self-education to open up my eyes. https://jilliansnutritionnook.com/plant-based-to-meat-based-a-dietitians-story/

Perhaps a "Recovering Vegans" page on the Wiki.
