We are all gonna die sooner and with disease!! page

Meat eaters ARE doomed!!! Become a vegetarian or vegan or suffer the consequences!!

[brahnamin]

Those switching to a vegetarian diet should ensure that they get enough protein, calcium, B12, and zinc by carefully planning meals, says Sylvia Escott-Stump, president of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association). “These nutrients are especially important in aging to support wound-healing and to keep a healthy immune system,”

My favorite quote from the linked article. Be a vegetarian! It's safe and natural! Hope you don't keel over from lack of stuff only available in animal matter!

I'm done with articles that scream about colon risk because omnivores have longer intestines than carnivores but never point out how much longer still an herbivore's intestines are (and have to be) . . . but eating a diet of meat and vegetables is not ideal (or even safe) for the omnivore and his medium sized intestines-that were made for exactly that?

We need a new kind of facepalm.

*sigh*

I really wish I could, but I can't.
I would die sooner from the kidney failure caused by getting all of my protein from soy and such.
(For me, because of a specific medical issue, this is actually true.)

I'll just have to live longer and die happy eating meat, and other yummies.

Cori why would someone die from kidney failure? There's dialysis and organ transplantation and you'd get your medicines for life. You'd be just being nice and rational by eating your soy as any subject should to sustain the economy.

I mean, why would you ever go for corpses and nutrient dense food when you can fall for crap and depend on pharmaceuticals the rest of your life, financing more soy production and forest destruction all in one blow?

...err I am the ESKD disabled one so I feel entitled to make jokes about how long my life expectancy was after each dialysis treatment...

[cori93437]

LOL.. so true... EAT the soy and take more treatments for it! Of course, why didn't I think of that.

I'm not taking any chances, I'm getting my tombstone made up right away:

Here lies (my name)

Yes he died young,
But he enjoyed more steaks than you.

My goal is to die young whether it happens at 65, 80, or 100. It isn't dying that sucks; it's the years of crappy health that so often precede it.

Exactly!

As someone once said, do you want to look like Nigella Lawson?



or Gillian McKeith?

[cori93437]

I do love me some Nigella.

I'd certainly rather look AT her any day!
