It really does seem that the human body thrives on ample quantities of meat products (including eggs) and fats (butter, olive oil, lard). I am at my healthiest when I eat those foods regularly, especially when I go easy on those processed high-carb "health" foods that infest mostly the middle aisles of your supermarkets. You know, the ones with the "heart healthy" food labels.
I read somewhere that if the product expiration date on a food product is more than 30 days in the future, you are better off not eating it. The argument goes that food that spoils quickly is better for you because it is more natural and less likely to be loaded with preservatives like high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils.
Look at vegetarians in public life. They are usually miserable bastards. Take Steve Jobs. Vegetarian. Total dick in the workplace and his personal life (he disowned his own daughter for a number of years). Ended up dying a horrible death due to pancreatic cancer. Would Steve Jobs have been a nicer and healthier person if he had a cheeseburger or a steak once in a while? I argue that yes, he might have been and he could well be still alive and working on the next big consumer product over at Apple.
Then we have Morrissey, the aging rock star and militant vegetarian. He insists that no meat gets served at his concerts and throws hissy fits like a little girl if he doesn't get his way. Seems like a very unhappy and miserable person.
There are many other examples of vegetarians in public life in which the rest of us are thankful not to be like them.
However, our young people continue to be pressured into this high-risk and unhealthy lifestyle because they are naive enough to be taken in by far-left cultist groups like PETA and become convinced that eating meat is evil and something to be ashamed of.
I will never forget a family barbecue I had in my backyard about 10 years ago. I know I posted the story here before. A college-age relative of mine declared herself a vegetarian and out of respect for her, I bought some soy-burgers to put on the grill for her and made sure I had plenty of vegetables. She ended up turning down the soyburgers because she was concerned that they sat on a grill where meat product was previously and was thus contaminated. She made a big point about that as she picked at her salad and nuts.
Anyway, my propane tank ran dry and I had to go to my shed to get another tank. When I walked in there, I caught my "vegetarian" relative in there, in the dark, in the process of wolfing down a couple of my hot dogs. She was obviously deeply embarrassed and I never mentioned a word of it to anybody else in the family. I felt bad for her because obviously her body was telling her she needed meat but by that point, she was so publicly invested in her "vegetarianism" that she could not bring herself to admit to her own family that she was wrong about vegetarianism and that she was a meat eater once again.
Humans are carnivores, just like dogs and cats (humans closest animal friends.) If you try to deny your pet dog or cat meat, you will quickly see how they go through extreme measures to obtain meat. Cats will hunt mice and birds, dogs will hunt rabbits and squirrels. If they cannot obtain meat, they will likely be unhealthy and have shorter life spans. Human vegetarians who attempt to impose their unhealthy habits upon their pets are actually engaging in animal abuse.
Nonsense. People have always stored food that would not go bad for months and were just fine. Sauerkraut, pickles, salted fish, miso, kemchi, smoked meat, dried fruit, (in fact dried anything,) hard cheese, most root vegetables and parched grain are all examples of food who's expiration date is way more then 30 days in the future and are good for you.
And let's not even get in to wine, cider and beer which have a rather long storage potential and have been part of the human diet since, well since we were people.
