So the vegans were right?
We all gotta do tofu and bean sprouts after all?
might be of interest ping.
I call BS.
I won't be forwarding this to my wacky sister-in-law. That's for sure.
Oh, well. If I die a bit earlier, it was worth it.
You might have to. I live with catz and am single. I'll eat meat, beefsteak is high on the list. Followed by 'taters and cabbage. (cabbage is just for the ambiance it produces)
Catz will eat meat after I'm gone.

I knew that some whacked out liberal vegan would come up with something to prove eating red meat did us great harm. Just as they found a “gene” for being a queer now we have a molecule that gives us aids because we eat red meat. It’s seems strange to me that mostly gays and drug users get aids, does that meant the rest of us don’t eat meat?
Aw man, I wish you hadn’t brought that up! I’m 62 and live alone with two old cats. I was pondering the other day what would happen to my guys if I died at home suddenly with them inside ... they would figure out how to get to the bag of chow, but when that ran out and water all gone ... it was depressing considering it. I can’t have a critter door because of the critters hangin’ out around these country parts. ... Aw man ...
You know, I have what is probably an autoimmune disease (not sure which one—still testing). One of the things it causes is severe pain in some of my joints. I have discovered that it is much better if I stay on a very low carb diet. How can that jive with what this article states? I’m just not a vegetarian.

I think you may have misread, or failed to understand, the article.
It seems there was a price to pay for some of the beneficial mutations that led to genus Homo some three million years ago.
Put a step stool next to the toilet.
That's my plan.

Naw, my cats already know how to get up on the seat and put their head down in the bowl and get a drink with a paw or two down to support them. Now if I could teach them to flush the toilet ... hey, that would give them a little more survival time, until maybe a relative (one of mine of course; both my boys were strays, so their relatives don’t know where they live) called several times and couldn’t get in touch.
I do quite a bit of technical reading - Pubmed Journals and abstracts, computer technical doc, arXiv stuff...

He didn’t explain squat to me! Anybody have the version that was written for non-stoners?
