Reply to: Five ways to cut risk of bowel cancer

Becoming more vegan and eating less meat may become the new global warming, as earth's resources further dwindle as the undeveloped world grows richer.

It already is. What is this "wheat" stuff for? Oh, it's because there are already too many of us to survive on the meat and veg diet that we evolved to eat.

Six ways.

+ avoid being bu&&ered.

On all those measures I should be fairly healthy although they don't mention the risk involved in constantly ramming large household objects up it in the pursuit of sexual gratification.

Odd that they should leave such a salient item out.

Stinging nettles are pretty good eating apparently. They contain a lot of vitamins and are packed with protein. They do have to be cooked though.

On average I eat about 5 or 6 bananas and one tomato per day.

Bananas are great because they don't make you fat.

Has anyone here ever met a vegan/vegetarian that has lived to a ripe old age? Don't think I have.
Serious question by the way.

Pass. Mortality statistics are classified in the public interest.

I am friends with one vegetarian, I reckon she's pretty healthy. Has to take iron supplements though, which makes her poop black.

I wouldn't associate with a vegan.

If nature did not mean for us to eat meat, we would not have been designed with teeth for chewing it, and it would not taste so darn good.
Veggies take note!!

BTW ISTR that colon cancer is much more common in S than in N India: in the N they eat much more meat. Obvious conclusion: meat is good

There's a chart here which shows, what I assume is, a rate for various cancers in the developed and developing world. Making a sweeping and unjustified assumption that the developing world has a more vegan diet, the following erroneous conclusion can be drawn: Colon and rectal cancer is less prevalent in developing vegetarians, in accord with the above study, but stomach, oesophagus and liver rates are huge. Therefore in conclusion, all that spicy food they stick in their food is rotting their insides, exactly as one might expect.

Good point. Presumably that hot spicy sensation (i.e. pain) on eating spicy food is the effect of the spice plants' defence mechanisms against being eaten. It's trying to tell your body something.

Not having it in the family is pretty handy too.
