A vegan diet caused a lady friend of mine to become a type 1 diabetic when she was not prior to that diet.

She now has to wear an insulin pump and has had to for years since that happened.

She has also always been slender and petite, never fat in her life. She’s about 74 now, so she’s done okay with it, but wow!

Check my book “Seven Events that Made America America.” This all started in the 1950s when Ansel Keyes used the opportunity of Ike’s heart attack to begin pushing his war on cholesterol, then against fat, and ultimately against meat.

Try low carb! Which means meat protein. Vegetable protein will not cut it.

25 grams of carbs per day. And fat is okay too.

Yep. Brain needs fat, body needs salt.

It isn't the meat industry or man made problem......On April 20, 2011, Japan had a a magnitude-9 earthquake that moved the main island of Japan by 8 feet and shifted the Earth on its axis. That is a fact.

People who live around the world in the far - frozen north and use the weather, land and heavens for survival on just about everything...Geophysicist Kenntth Hudnut of the U.S. Geological Survey said the March 11, 2011 quake moved part of Japan's land mass nearly 2.5 meters..."
(How Powerful Was the Earthquake in Japan?)

"Reports from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Italy estimated the 8.9-magnitude quake shifted the planet on its axis by nearly 4 inches (10 centimeters)."

Weather is always changing however this time the earth's axis has shifted. So killing the meat industry, killing thousand of jobs and helping the Fake Meat Market along is NOT the answer. Global climate change has been and always will be with us......it is insane to think man could change the weather regardless of how politicians etc. want people to believe......

And fat doesn't raise blood sugar. Low carb, high fat, high animal protein.

It’s like I said, I’m going to eat meat.

The rest is up to them.

There have been many times in history when people assert authority that they do not possess, and it ends badly for them.

Let’s hope vegans are familiar with such history.

Muslims (pork), Hindus (Beef) and some Buddhists (all meat) are for this... and are changing the population of Europe.

Sounds like Singapore where its nearly impossible to buy pork (halal everywhere) as Muslim Malays complained, the Indian population complained about beef, and some Chinese Buddhists complained about all meat...

Aren’t Coffee and Chocolate (the lefties mental lifeblood these days) even WORSE offenders in the carbonfootprint whatitz these leftist pawns are pushing (now new against red meat -— ‘cuz its bad’)

And Pot growing eats huge amounts of materials (all with a huge carbon footprint which might be better handed out to some foreigners). Sickening abuse of mother gaia.

Leftist hotair has more effect to bring the horribly changing weather too, so maybe time to ban them as well.

Grain grown for the giant muffins likewise evil, but they never think of all that roughage plugged up toilets these derpists cause ??? Terrible terrible the sins of the derpists. Such hypocrites.

Here’s a question the liberal AGW crowd can never answer:

Tell me, just when in the last billion years or so, has the climate NOT been changing?........................


Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.......Robert Heinlein......
