What should we eat (the original diet)?

Those things are so bad for you. The process they have to go through destroys any value they had.

 

Umm its dishonest to lump all meat in with anything processed.

 

Uh of course. There is no problem with regular meat. And veganism is not healthy.

 

I live under the NC, and so like to enjoy a nice pork chop once in a while!

 

That's what bugs me about those promoting vegetarianism, is their twisting of the facts to attack eating meat. Again, I have no doubt that increasing veggies would improve most people's diets but the claims against meats simply ignore the facts. The movement is being championed by animal rights activists and is often being adopted by people who buy into their claims without looking at the evidence more objectively.

For instance, "recent claims that vegetarian diets bring diabetes under control". I have long known that simply cutting some fats, sugars, ...calories and losing weight along with exercise has reversed diabetes. I know several people and heard of many more that have reversed diabetes on a diet that includes meat and exercise. Yet, the vegans try to make it sound as if meat is the problem rather than the truth that improving the diet and losing weight is the solution. In fact, I would put exercise before a strictly vegan diet as more beneficial. .
