I have been a strict vegetarian for 40 years and I am extremely healthy at age 66.

A vegan diet takes around 10 yrs off your life.

Do you have a link to this.

Thanks

I’m 84 and my wife is 83, and neither of us have been on a vegan diet for even a day.

“The space surrounding the article is filled with meat ads from local grocery stores. Just an observation.”

Not on my PC. That’s because I use multiple ad blockers and tracking blockers. In all likelihood, you are seeing the meat ads because you are being tracked by the internet ad-bots and targeted with ads that follow your browsing history.

A vegan diet is a slave diet. A person could pack up a bunch of dried meat and travel for weeks on a horse, as long as there is forage for the horse. He couldn’t carry a weeks worth of vegetable food.

Give slaves vegetable diets. They won’t have the energy to escape.

“They” (whoever “they” are, the elites, our masters, whoever,) want us to eat bugs for protein. I’m getting more and more nervous the more they are pushing bugs. I refuse to eat them. I’ll die first.

Hitler died aged 56, although I think he was a vegetarian, not a vegan. Of course in his case there were other factors involved in his dying at that age.

I have chronic kidney stones, and my kidneys are “on the bubble” because of the damage the recurring stones have done. To “combat” this my docs, a GP, a Urologist and a Nephrologist have all put me on a meat restricted diet. I’m “allowed” no more than three 4 oz servings of any meat a week. It’s driving me crazy, to the point that I inevitably cheat once in a while.

Supposedly, the proteins in the meat help create the stones, and it’s not just meat that does this. Dairy products are also considered animal protein, so I can’t even really enjoy cottage cheese, eggs or other cheeses as much as I’d like.

The Nephrologist prescribed a new medication, allopurinol, that was supposed to reduce the acid level of my urine and thus—alledgedly—reduce uric acid kidney stones. Unfortunately, allopurinol almost killed me. Seven days after starting that medication I broke out in a head-to-toe rash, had a fever of 103, and couldn’t hold my head up. Once you have those symptoms they are associated with an 11% mortality rate, so I spent three days in the hospital under constant monitoring.

One good thing about all that is they gave me CT scans and X-rays that showed I have no new stones in my system, only the 4 or 5 left over from last year’s group—which I have since passed. So as far as my wife and docs are concerned I have no more than 12 ounces of meat a week. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

I like Aldi’s meats too. I avoided it when I first started shopping there but I’m a fan now.
