The study DOES differentiate between red meat and processed meat. Would you like me to help you read it again? The morbidity rates for processed meats were given separately, and were much higher. I would not suggest that you read the original study if a newspaper article about the study is giving you so much trouble.

No problem. If you go to the top of the article, there is a photograph of red meat slices. Underneath that photo is a caption that states: "Eating any kind of red meat was found to increase the chances of dying from heart disease by 16% and from cancer by 10%. Photograph: David Sillitoe for the Guardian" The photograph, as…

Duh, Okay I will print it out for you. Tell me which words you do not understand: Regularly eating red meat increases significantly risk of death from heart disease and cancer, according to a study of more than 120,000 people carried out over 28 years. The findings show that each extra daily serving of processed red meat –…

That was a set up. Of course I know there is no class OMNIVORA. But there is a class CARNIVORA. Why do you suppose?

I thought bears were omnivores. You thought wrong. They are in the class CARNIVORA. Only animals in the class OMNIVORA are omnivores. So a Panda Bear is in order CARNIVORA yet subsists off of bamboo shoots? Seems to not be a very good way of classification. So what do humans eat since they are in the PRIMATE order? Cats…

Countries that Paleos should emulate, the tribal countries of Africa, eat around 10 to 11 pounds of meat per person each year, Tell me why Paleos don't advocate that? Also, I asked some questions earlier that you haven't seemed to have gotten around to answering.

You thought wrong. They are in the class CARNIVORA. Only animals in the class OMNIVORA are omnivores.

Okay, four quarter pounders per week. In the US the average meat consumption per person is 300 lbs per year. That is almost one pound per day. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/03/world-meat-consumption_n_1475760.html#s937014&title=177_India_7

There is a grain of truth in that, but obviously many exceptions.

There is some truth to that depending on where you lived. In the Hilly Flanks of Mesopotamia, for example, that could have been true.

Neither plants nor animals can synthesize B12, only bacteria can. Therefore when you eat a carrot, say that you pull out of the garden and fail to wash, you will get trace amounts of B12. That is the same way animals get B12 - bacteria on plants.

I got that. Were are the cites to back you up? You always want me to produce cites, how about you doing it. And please answer my questions above, don't just walk away from them.

A fine criticism from someone who makes ex cathedra pronouncements like, "neither dietary cholesterol nor saturated fat has been proven to have a direct link to disease in the human body," and other unsubstantiated opinions you throw out with absolutely no science to back you up. You can't Google the subject without…

Perhaps you are right, Mutt. But sometimes you go off on tangets that make no sense. For example you just said that even though there was no pressure to change out dentition and mandible structure, there was pressure to change other things, which of course you do not specify. Please refer back to the table I posted showing…

I thought she was. Sorry if I confused you with someone else Silver, but more's the pity. Obamacare will be DOA after this next election and you will have to pay for your own chemotherapy.

Let me guess. You are studying to be a dietitian? The FDA doesn't regulate B12 because as far as I know, no one has ever OD'ed on B12. I certainly would not start eating meat just to get B12 "naturally." The B12 I take comes from bacteria, which is the natural source of B12 for humans, Meat is the unnatural source, in my…

Okay, you obviously don't get it. Let me try a different approach: Define the physiological differences between an omnivore and a herbivore. Then define the physiological differences between an omnivore and a carnivore. Now when you finally decide that you cannot do this, then think about why. OMNIVORES ARE NOT A…

WE ARE HERBIVORES!!! Anatomically and physiologically, people are herbivores. Facial Muscles Carnivore: Reduced to allow wide mouth gape Herbivore: Well-developed Human: Well-developed Jaw Type Carnivore: Angle not expanded Herbivore: Expanded angle Human: Expanded angle Jaw Joint Location Carnivore: On same plane as molar…

In that case, I guess nothing is wrong with eating the eggs. But some vegans might still disagree, because even there one could be said to be exploiting animals. Many vegans also have moral objections to, for example, riding a horse. I don't, for pretty much the same reason as in your example. Everyone I know who owns…
