knives over forks
In response to those who can't see any further than a USDA food poster, who have reviewed this film:
The UK government spends £1.2 Billion annually, on treating illness as a direct result of meat and dairy consumption, in line with a recent Oxford University study, commissioned by the Soil Association 2010.
You think meat/dairy consumption is healthy, then you are more deluded than you sound.
Consider the earliest known time at which man was unequivocally known to have used fire to cook, some 128,000 years ago. There is no way we could have evolved significantly enough in that time to consume 'cooked' meat....as well as our sliding/grinding jaw movement....the health statistics prove it! How many Omnivores in the wild do you know of, that actually 'cook' their meat because they cannot digest it raw, EXACTLY, try waking up a little, we are herbivores!
Einstein found the truth a little late: http://tinyurl.com/3yrhhzw but he found it!!
Over 600,000 new cases of stroke in America EVERY year, says research(?) carried out in 'Argentina' of all places (showing no link to red meat consumption and cancer) that produce huge volumes of meat is misconstrued, or perhaps papers fiddled at source?! Put it to the test and commission Oxford University to research there, instead of referring to government backed 'doctors' that do the research.
I sincerely hope your tap water doesn't become polluted due to the run off from a vast slurry lagoon at a Super Dairy or Super farm....the meat/dairy industries are a global menace and must be dealt with accordingly.
As for your references to Vegans, I think you need to seriously reconsider your misconceptions. I personally am a 210lb Vegan weightlifter and athlete, vegan for over 6 years, pescatarian 3 years previously (still gaining muscle mass on 40g of plant protein per day).....my main aim is to promote good health (because I don't know a single family personally that has not been inflicted by a dietary disorder and or death). I am a humanist AND animal lover.....so please reconsider to change perceptions now, because people are suffering due to misinformation regarding diet.
