Proven: Vegetarians Live Longer : TreeHugger

  • Does everyone really want to live forever? I can understand wanting to outlive your spouse and see your kids at least graduate high school, but how long do you need on the planet? Don't forget that just existing costs money and resources.
  • They can have my turkey leg when they pry it from my cold dead hands. I feel a bit of a chill coming on.

AlterNet: Health and Wellness: 15 Reasons to Stop Hiding from Vegetarianism

  • 3. You'll live longer. If you switch from the standard American diet to a vegetarian diet, you can add about 13 healthy years to your life
  • 10. You'll avoid toxic chemicals. The EPA estimates that nearly 95 percent of the pesticide residue in the typical American diet comes from meat, fish and dairy products. Fish, in particular, contain carcinogens (PCBs, DDT) and heavy metals (mercury, arsenic, lead, cadmium) that can't be removed through cooking or freezing. Meat and dairy products can also be laced with steroids and hormones, so be sure to read the labels on the dairy products you purchase.

meal plans and other advice wanted - Vegetarian &Vegan Recipe Exchange - tribe.net

  • How does everyone go about planning out their meals for the week? Do you plan it out? I always feel like i'm missing something in my diet because i'm more of a forager (sp?) in my kitchen when time is tight and i reach for the carbs. I'm working on the total vegitarian conversian and would love some tips or links to meal planning/veg nutrition.



    2nd Q = What are some really polite ways to refuse meat products at holiday gatherings when they are thrust in your face by beaming family members who want to feed you?

The PETA Files: I heart Casey Affleck

  • “When people ask me why I don’t eat meat or any other animal products, I say, ‘Because they’re unhealthy, and they’re the product of a violent and inhumane industry,’”

TheStar.com - News - Atkins diet best for women, study suggests

  • Ornish and other critics say the study doesn’t answer concerns about the Atkins diet — whether consistently eating all that fatty food leads to long-term health problems.

    The researchers found that none of the health measures was worse for women on the Atkins plan, but said potential long-term problems could not be identified in so short a study.

  • The four diets were chosen to represent the full spectrum of low- to high-carbohydrate weight-loss plans and participants were started off with eight hours of instruction from a dietitian.

  • Meat is filthy. It is dead tissue. It has little pieces of animal shit on it. It has colonies of microbes building little cities on it. It is actually the corpse of another creature. It's like walking up to a casket with a knife and fork...and you rednecks want to chew on that and eat it?

    Be my guest. But take a look around at the majority of meat-eaters before you do. They actually start to look like the creatures they eat: pigs and cows.
  • I agree that chickens are the most abused animal...but I personally wish that meat-eaters give up eating cows and pigs first...there is something so heartbreaking about the crying (bellowing) of a mother cow and her calf who lovingly bond at birth and who are usually separated on the 1st or 2nd day after birth...cows are pregnant for nine long months, just like women...and pigs are as smart and friendly and loving as dogs...they even wag their little tails...they are so terrified at the slaughterhouse they have heart attacks...and all animals are so young (still babies/toddlers) when they die...i still care deeply for sweet chickens...God refers to the love of a mother hen for her chicks in the bible...and in tiday;s factory farms, hens never ever even SEE their chicks...there is something ungodly about it all..i am so glad i stopped eating all meat 2 years ago and don't have to decide which animal doesn't deserve life...and it was easier than i ever dreamed...and i feel like a new woman!

  • EAT ETHNIC.



    The "western" diet is the only one with the focus on MEAT.
  • And I could not agree more about not sweating the small stuff. I've been a vegan for almost 20 years, and I now strongly feel that my earlier almost "fundamentalist" veganism was counter-productive. I felt great about my "purity," but others just thought I was a nut. So, as Kathy notes, I was hurting animals.
