'I gave up veganism and my health improved instantly'
Although many advocates of veganism remain healthy, after two years of health issues, I’m admitting defeat – and I’m not alone https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-...oved-instantly/ Quote:

Well, there's a penetrating glimpse into the obvious. Quote:
Operative word here is "linked." If meat caused bowel cancer, I don't believe we would have thrived (or even survived) as a species. Our newspaper has a food section. It is 99% devoted to vegan and plant-based recipes, restaurants, and lifestyle. I was amazed this past weekend to see an article on the first page of that section highlighting a food truck that serves meat-filled meals. I don't expect to see another one like it for a very long time. |

Agreed, and I've put in bold the most important statement in the quote above. Most of these "findings" and "studies" are epidemiological which can merely associate the broad variety of foods eaten with the health issue; yet, meat (mostly red) is usually picked out of the lineup as the culprit. It's in vogue today to vilify meat and favor plant-based anything regardless of how unhealthy it might be to the individual. Unfortunately, some are learning that vegan, vegetarianism, and plant-based can be very damaging to health if certain measures aren't taken. Including meat as the primary protein source makes a diet much easier to manage without dependencies on the supplement science necessary to maintain one's trajectory toward a reasonably long life span. |

A favorite meme on meat:

I went to our Natural Foods store to pick up my freshly ground almond butter
and was impressed again that 90% of the store is vegan - mostly carbohydrates - protein source is chicken. And they sincerely believe that they are a "health food" store. Most of the customers would agree. |
Thanks Demi for all your informative posts.
I figure it this way: 1) I have the teeth of an omnivore 2) I have the digestive enzymes of an omnivore 3) I have the alimentary canal of an omnivore 4) There are 7 essential nutrients you can't get from plants So why should I even consider being a vegan? I don't. Plus this 'save the earth' is complete propagana. There are zillions of acres of grassland on the planet. To grow vegetable crops on this land would necessitate exorbitantly huge amounts of fertilizer, herbicide, and water. And the fertilizer industry produces 100 times the methane than all the cow farts and burps on the planet combined (per the Environmental Defense Fund and a major university). In contrast, grazing animals have prospored on these grasslands for millions of years with nothing but what mother nature provides. Example -- the North American Bison population was in the billions. The bisons ate the grass, and in turn fertilized the grass with their excrement. Eating 100% grass-fed beef saves the planet. Eating corn fed beef is bad for the planet because of the growing of corn. The veggie propaganda mill won't point that out. For lunch I had a 100% grass-fed in Florida (my home state) burger with Kerry Gold grass-fed cheese on a zero carb bagel. I helped the environment as I helped my health and my taste buds. Bob |
The link to bowel cancer......
I'm high risk and while some poo-poo this "link", we forget "meat" is not just animal protein but also everything else an animal is fed. Grasses have not changed much but the grains are another thing. Nearly all soybean is GMO. And corn.....and wheat.... neither is the same grain genetically as long ago. And the pesticides.... that gets eaten and absorbed into the fats. Quality matters. Meats have become potential carcinogens all because of their feed. |
And another ...

And just how is plant-based diets "better" for health? Do these people not hear what they say? |
Also "meat" being linked to bowel cancer dates back to when "meat" included all sorts of crap like Spam & hotdogs. And "linked" could be related to the buns, fries & milkshakes consumed with the "meat".

Sometimes it's very difficult to separate the propaganda from reality.
The veggie people have been saying for years that saturated fats will clog your arteries. Pardon me if I call that B.S. I have hardly eaten any veggies since I went on Atkins Induction (when Bob Atkins was still alive) and continue but call it keto. A few years ago the Internet shopping cart on my on-line business was bought by a different company. The new company had a different way of doing things but imported the old cart, merged it with theirs, and missed one of the safeguards. I noticed the problem when someone figured out how to get my products for free. And since shipping is automatic and immediate I lost. It took 4 days for the new shopping cart to figure out what was wrong, and the fix was to convert over 600 products to the new shopping cart's native format (at about 25 minutes per product). My heart was skipping beats and my GP sent me to a heart specialist. He determined it was Premature Ventricular Contractions caused by anxiety. He did the standard 3 tests, the ultra-sound operator was audibly excited about how good my circulation is and how open my blood vessels were. They finally told me to stop the stress test as I got off the chart, and the vessels that feed my heart were functioning at top form. After all the cheese, butter, bacon, nuts, cream, etc., I've been eating for decades, my circulation is as good as someone in top form 20 years younger than my age. I hardly eat any veggies, and I hardly ever get sick - a mild 2 day cold every 15 years or so and that's it. Bob |
