I'll buy this. I would only add ~
1 - better not to eat meat at all, and
2 - sunscreen probably also causes cancer.

Don't know about the sunscreen, but there is no point in forbidding meat.
The thing to avoid is saturated fat in meat. Just try to eat lean meat and
it will contribute to your overall health. After all, we humans are meat
eaters par excellence. Ever hear that early humans were HUNTERS and
gatherers before they became farmers?

The main point of avoiding meat is that eating meat harms animals.
People do as well or better without it (and typically live longer). I
can tell you, as a 20-year and counting vegetarian, it is surely
unnecessary for good health and vigor. When millions of people eat
meat, it harms the environment in many various and sundry ways. The
desertification and pollution of North America's west has been
hastened by welfare ranching on public land. Frankly, I don't care
what people do to themselves - there's too damn many anyway, and
whoever dies is one less resource-gulping varmint IMHO.

Bruce, you are a man after my own heart.

Americans eat way too much meat, but it is not so easy as you think to
remain healthy without meat in the diet. Vegetarians have to think about
what they eat in order to remain healthy. The rest of of us who do eat meat
do not have to think about it so much.

I say a little prayer every time I eat meat and thank the beast for giving
me life. I know that a single visit to a slaughter house would cure me
forever of meat eating. We humans should be very humble in terms of what it
takes to keep us living.

Did you know that most of the corn that we grow
here in Minnesota is for the animals?

Geez! What a waste!!! Just think of all the moonshine we could make from that.
And I know what I'm talking about, some of my neighbors are from Tennessee. :-)

Better "rotgut" than wasting it through a cow's gut... ;-)
