Well, Obama wants us all to “volunteer”.

So, I have decided to do my part. I will eat lots of red meat, drink lots of cheap white wine, and smoke like a chimney.

I am doing my part to save the “social security lockbox”.

I am 65, have done my job in raising a fine family of children, who are productive adult members of society. So, I am no longer “socially useful” in any way the .gov would prefer, except to tax for my “vices”.

Shouldn’t we all do our part, and “kick the bucket” once we have done our duty to our benevolent leaders in D.C.?

I swear there must be creative thinkers in Washington who collaborate with the University gang sucking off the .gov teat, figuring out how to tax us for enjoying our lives, however long or short these might be.

I’m not seeing processed meat in that picture. I’m seeing roast(ed) beef.

By jove, you’re on to something there! ;)

I can’t disagree with that. In the end it pays to pick your parents carefully! I think common sense is also the order of the day (for most of us). We were designed to move around, we were designed to live on less food than is available today, and we were also designed to live around 70 years. I suppose for most of us anything after that is gravy. I would just like to get into old age with all of my own teeth and a modicum of good health.

I’d rather die of cancer at 80 after eating 16 oz. ribeyes, than eat tofu and seaweed until I’m 100 (more than likely, I’ll probably have Alzheimers so I won’t remember anything past age 80 anyway).

My grandfather died at 93. He ate things like butter, eggs, pork chops and hamburger. I remember him having bacon and eggs almost every morning. Lunch was called dinner, and was usually a full meal (no samich stuff) unless it was grandmas homemade bean soup with homemade bread with butter. Supper was the evening meal, and that was also a full meal. I remember plenty of fried foods.

93 seems long enough to me. I think I'll live like my grandfather did.

I went vegetarian for about 10 years.

[and I was basically a moonbat the whole time and my body *still* hasn’t totally recovered]

I decided that my health and sanity outranks the hypothetical morality of eating a critter that someone *else* will eat, even if *I* don’t.

I’d rather not eat them but I’d rather not be a space cadet even more.

If God had not intended for you to eat animals, He wouldn’t have made them out of meat.

Meat Intake and Mortality

The article is a FReebie.

Please.

I worry for all of you.

Stop eating red meat.

I want the price of Porterhouse to drop to $2.99 a pound.

Besides, when Obama is done f___ing up this country people will be longing to die early.

BTW: This study by Rashmi Sinha directly contradicts a previous study by the noted health expert Dr. Fahkmi Intemornin. Fahkmi says that eating copious quantities of red meats coupled with excessive consumption of vodka and cigarettes will cause liberals around you to go into apoplectic seizures and hopefully drop dead on the spot.

Whenever some condescending liberal c___sucker tries to tell me that something is for “my own good” I just exclaim “OH FAHKMI”.

Eat red meat, drink, have healthy sex, and be merry, then die...live past a certain age, get prostrate and ovarian cancer, loose teeth and eat oatmeal, contract Alzheimer's and dementia, evaporate estate savings, become a burden for family members!
