It's a freaking hoax that being a vegetarian is healthy.

This is one of the cases were common sense / intuition fails:
if you don't eat vegetables, you'll be sick -> vegetables are healthy -> if you eat only vegetables you'll be super-healthy
But in reality, if you don't eat vegetables and meat and hundreds of other thingies you'll be fucked.

Counterintuitive truths aren't uncommon:
Birthday paradox
Monty Hall problem
Boy or girl
Benford's law
Three cards problem

Eating just meat seems to be healthy, granted you've adapted to the diet over generations. The Inuit(Eskimos) eat nothing but a diet of meat and have the lowest number of degenerative diseases than any other culture in the world.

They even get their vitamin c from meat, fish specifically. Though the diet consists of eating meat in various stages of readiness, including raw.

They downplay the dangers of Veganism alot also, if you don't precisely balance your diet of veggies you could die. It's even been mentioned that those who claim to have survived long-term on a strictly vegan diet lie and occasionally still consume animal flesh.

The vegans who look sick, are sick. They are dying because they are not balancing their intake, yet the pressure from vegan friends and the fact they are so convinced it's "the right thing to do" keep them blinded to the fact they are ill.

Do you have any sources for that information or did you just make it up on the spot?

Mag the Bloody-handed · Nov 3, 2006

Inuit Diet, and Vegan Side Effects are the only two search criteria you need.

I wasn't writing an article or I would've provided links.

Did it lap at it's own blood after you sliced it's throat?

Vorak · Nov 6, 2006

I said it was weird not cultish.

Dark Elf · Nov 6, 2006

Come on, we all know it only licked up the blood because it burned it's tongue on the circle of candles.

Vorak · Nov 6, 2006

That was the pair of siamese goats.

Dark Elf · Nov 6, 2006

Anyway, I'm sure you butchered the pigs in accordance to Halal rites, like any good muslim.

Vorak · Nov 6, 2006

Of course, I was having Charles over for dinner. Halal Pork, what could possibly be wrong with that?
