Dioxins bioaccumulate up the food chain, leading to higher concentrations in animal foods compared to plant-based foods.

“the argument is basically that dioxins and people make this argument about toxins generally - that they bioaccumulate up the food chain and so any animal foods you know animals eat plants animals eat other animals and so if you have herbivore animals you're going to bioaccumulate from all the plants we're not accumulating that animal and then if you're if you go even worse to eat carnivore animals then you're gonna have even you know more exponential accumulation”
