    Why do people like to argue with each other about what they eat?

    Cheers to the study for trying to figure out what's healthy, but each person has to figure out for themselves what they should or shouldn't eat. My personal beliefs are not the same as all of my friends, and my metabolism is different too. Everybody's different.
    No.

    In...

    ...for a discussion of the importance and ramifications of accuracy and completeness in scientific studies and in the conclusions derived from them.

    you set your expectations too high my friend....

    I read this a few years ago. Very interesting read. My family is full of cancer from all sides and knowing that my lower protein diet may help me beat getting cancer myself gives me hope!

    I would also like to add correlation does not mean causation.

    but if you follow and justify the china study. then not eating meat will give have a higher risk of causing cancer than not eating meat

    I raise and butcher my own animals, like dogs and detest cats, and voted for Romney. The plant eaters loathe me.

    There are probably quite a few meat eaters who also loathe you.

    A side not on meat eating: unless you're eating biologically appropriate fed animals raised in a pristine environment, you're eating a low quality product. And that varies greatly from the ancestral diet.

    Just popping in here quickly to say that claiming that vegetarianism is a sign of mental illness is ridiculous. Also Sara generally gets more protein than I do, and I'm a meat-eater. Saying the China Study is crap is one thing, and I'd completely agree with that. Saying that choosing to be vegetarian for moral, ethical, or preferential reasons means that a person has a mental illness is a completely different thing. Not cool.

    i did not say anything about vegetarians having a mental illness

    Sorry I should have quoted, was in a hurry. I was directing my comment to eric_sg61, not you. :flowerforyou:

    You are not a plant eater? Well, in that case, for your troubles:

    It's a shame that those qualities cause loathing.

    I loathe rapists, murderers, child molesters and people along those lines. Someone with differing pet preferences and a differing political opinion from me doesn't seem worth that sort of emotional investment. Maybe I'm weird that way.
