Alright, Is anyone else besides me completely sick of these Veggie eaters? Not sick of them as people, just sick of them acting superior? Cause really, they're not. First off, the claim that it's SOOOO much healthier. Yeah, eating veggies is great. But here are some facts. All of these were discussed in a follow-up documentary to 'Supersize Me' called 'Fat Head' in which the man who made the documentary proved you can actually lose weight on Fast Food. And not just McDonald's salads. He ate mostly burgers. Here are some of the things discussed.
There’s never been a single study that proves saturated fat causes heart disease.
As heart-disease rates were skyrocketing in the mid-1900s, consumption of animal fat was going down, not up. Consumption of vegetable oils, however, was going up dramatically. Half of all heart-attack victims have normal or low cholesterol. Autopsies performed on heart-attack victims routinely reveal plaque-filled arteries in people whose cholesterol was low (as low as 115 in one case). Asian Indians – half of whom are vegetarians – have one of the highest rates of heart disease in the entire world. Yup, that fatty meat will kill you, all right.
When Morgan Spurlock tells you that a McDonald’s salad supplies almost a day’s allowance of fat, he’s basing that statement on the FDA’s low-fat/high-carbohydrate dietary guidelines, which in turn are based on … absolutely nothing. There’s no science behind those guidelines; they were simply made up by a congressional committee. Kids who were diagnosed as suffering from ADD have been successfully treated by re-introducing natural saturated fats into their diets. Your brain is made largely of fat. Many epileptics have reduced or eliminated seizures by adopting a diet low in sugar and starch and high in saturated animal fats. Despite everything you’ve heard about saturated fat being linked to cancer, that link is statistically weak. However, there is a strong link between sugar and cancer. In Europe, doctors tell patients, “Sugar feeds cancer.”
Being fat is not, in and of itself, bad for your health. The behaviors that can make you fat – eating excess sugar and starch, not getting any exercise – can also ruin your health, and that’s why being fat is associated with bad health. But it’s entirely possible to be fat and healthy. It’s also possible to be thin while developing Type II diabetes and heart disease. Saturated fat and cholesterol help produce testosterone. When men limit their saturated fat, their testosterone level drops. So, regardless of what a famous vegan chef believes, saturated fat does not impair sexual performance.
Sorry if that was a little long, but I hope you people now have something to think about in the health department. And those Vegans who feel they flaunt Moral Superiority, you're not Morally Superior. First, humans have been eating meat for centuries. What you're doing is messing with the natural order. Secondly, Humans are animals too. You wouldn't stop a worl from eating meat, why would you try to stop people? Third, and this is for you more religious folk, nothing and no one condones killing like the religious 'Holy Books'.
Let's see, am I forgetting something? Ah yes, something else for the 'health category'. Humans are conditioned to eat both meat and greens. Note I say greens. Not grains. The only animals on the planet who are adapted to eat grains are birds. I got a bunch more of these, so bring on the questioning anyone who disagrees. I have no problem with Vegetarians and Vegans, as long as they keep their lifestyle to themselves. Thank you for listening, and have a good day.
