While PETA wept: “In conclusion, our results suggest that United Kingdom-based vegetarians and comparable nonvegetarians (including people who eat fish but not meat and those who eat meat <5 times per week on average) have similar all-cause mortality.”
Well then what the bleep am I supposed to feel guilty about? Do I have to take up Catholicism? Scratch that, I guess my white privilege is a never ending source of guilt.
But the Vegans have a 764,000% increase in Moral Superiority and undeserved, unearned esteem.
Ha! Wonderful. The left foiled again by their own stupidity. Alberta steak going on the grill tonight to celebrate! And I’ll make sure the bottle of wine I pick up this afternoon has come from as far away as possible, a nice Aussie wine perhaps, to stick it to the CO2 crowd while I am at it.
My daughter knows a few veggie girls in school, and they always look pale, no glow in their faces, ratty hair, etc. They are also often sick. She on the other hand looks radiant, like a million bucks, and she loves her steak.
Once upon a time I went on a real health kick. If a study even suggested it was bad for me I avoided it and if a study said it was good for me I indulged in it. Then I realized that sooner or later I am going to look really stupid lying of a hospital bed somewhere dying of nothing.
Very timely:

Wildlife habitat has to be destroyed (tilled up)for growing the soybeans needed to make tofu. Cattle, on the other hand, share the range with all sorts of furry critters.
But a question I have always wondered. If a vegan swallows is she really still a vegan?
The difference being that those that abstain from meat enjoy their lives a whole lot less.
Like kd Lang who refused meat from both sides
If a vegan/vegetarian diet is so superior, why is it that vegans/vegetarians try to make everything look like meat?
Imagine living life looking so pale and like an extra from the Walking Dead.
Filet Mignon wrapped in bacon anyone?
Well then nothing has changed for millennia. God told Adam and Eve in the garden that they would die if they disobeyed Him. Death has reigned in the world ever since. Moses in Psalm 90 said that our life expectancy was 70 – 80 years. It’s still the same. Our time here on earth is short – a preparation time for the world to come.
“Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.. Act 16:30,31
How do you tell a vegan at the table. No problem, they will tell you
Only an idiot would think that vegans are vegans because they think it’s healthier.
after death, he was the healthiest corps ever. They buried him in a soya bean field !
Um, anne, this is a diet thread, not the church thread. Wait till we discuss mixing cement in a wheelbarrow before you start bible thumping!!!
NME666 The sign and servant of the devil strikes again.
Thanks Doc. Great article and our family physician seems to follow this line of thinking.
Mike, exactly. For vegans it is a political ideology.

Heh, doubt if the devil would have him either, not smart enough to do what he needs done…he’s like the useful idiots the commies execute once their useful purpose has been served.
Remember: no one is ever *just* a vegetarian.
I am going to suggest a new term that applies to people that don’t eat meat and rely on diesel fuel to produce their protein. Diesel fuel to plant the protein , diesel fuel to harvest the protein and diesel fuel to distribute the protein. These people should be renamed DIEGAN’S
What about the mortality of all the animals we eat? Do they count? They do die? That is the end of their mortality. I would like to be kinder and not eat meat, but it’s hard to do when you are accustomed to it. I accept my hypocrisy, but I don’t like it much.
hi Anne.
mr antichristnumber missed the connection to the thread topic, namely mortality.
your entry supports the view that vegan/omnivore types are BOTH subject to the same ‘clock’. and the diet difference is not the determining factor.
personally, I think mr antichristnumber is a raving hypocrite seeing as his ‘handle’ is very clearly steeped in theology, and thus he/(she?) is making a bible reference EVERY TIME they post. anybody not familiar with the source feel free to google revelation 13:18
these moeral PETA idiots running around either totaly naked or in silly costumes and getting the usial hollywood idiots(Pamela Anderson,Alec Baldwin Etc)to do idiotic ads or appear in some junk mail while PETA jerks try to brainwash kids with their junk like YOUR DADDY KILLS ANIMALS,YOUR MOMMY KILLS ANIMALS or THE LIFE OF A COW and show up at fastfood places like McDonalds offering their junk to kids and especialy when Hollywood idiot James Cromwell was arrested at a WENDYS restruant in FAIRFAX VIRGINIA pestering the costomers and attempting to hand out their junk to the costumers
Yes I know an anecdotal story is proof of nothing but here’s one anyway.
My sister’s friend in B.C. was raised as a vegan. Her ‘early boomer’ Mom died at a young age and she herself was plagued with mental health issues for many years.
She has overcome that now and there is no proof that any of it was caused by her veganism but needless to say she no longer practices that lifestyle.
I have found that fasting once in awhile makes me feel better, it also increases the overall effectiveness of beer.
We’re all gonna die…
sham burgers and not dogs…i proposed that question in a polite conversation and you would have thought i showed the cross to dracula.
these people and their friends, who will come to their defense and pillory you, are insufferable. i just end the argument by telling them i eat things that may have had a face and leave it at that. you’ll never convince them because they use it as an anchor point to project their “superiority”

I used to work in a restaurant that had a vegetarian menu, which was unusual at the time, so we got a lot of vegetarians. We got so we could pick them out by their pallid skin and wispy hair before they ordered. OTOH, I think people should eat what makes them feel good. For me, it is limiting red meat which has tamed my gout, with the help of meds, but the meds alone never worked.
