Meat eating, it will kill you - time for it to be banned
Vegan | 14.03.2012 10:24 | Animal Liberation
Researchers from the Harvard Medical School in the US studies 120,000 people over three decades have discovered that eating red meat will decrease life expectancy.
Time to ban eating meat now as a matter of public health. Feeding meat to children should be considered child abuse and the parents prosecuted.
Time to ban eating meat now as a matter of public health. Feeding meat to children should be considered child abuse and the parents prosecuted.
Eating one extra portion of red meat per day will increase the risk of death by up to 13%.
Although processed meat, which is usually ostracised by dieticians for being pumped full of rubbish, was found to be the most dangerous, it was found that eating unprocessed meat still caused higher rates of mortality from cancer and cardiovascular problems than not eating it at all.
Indeed, eating just one portion extra of red meat a day can lead to a 13% increase in the risk of death. This is thought to be due to the higher levels of saturated fat in such meats, as well as the sodium used when processing.
This evidence points clearly to the need for a ban on all meat eating to protect public health. There can no longer be any argument on this issue - eating meat kills you.

My oh my ---- and just who appointed you our benevolent dictator?
We can document THIS argument in Western Civ at least a sfar back as Plato vs Aristotle.
Please note:
1) You and your ilk have NOT been appointed to this position of rule over us. It doesn't matter than you know better than us what is in our own best interest. We do not accept it.
2) You aren't prepared to kill (other) animals but you are prepared to kill fellow humans? Because THAT is what is necessary in order to assume and hiold on to dictatorial powers.
Understand what I am saying here? I am NOT arguing for or against eating meat, just your attitude that you don't have to convince the meat eating (vast) majority to give up meat.
And please -- the only really valid arguments are moral ones. There are health arguments and environmental arguments for eating less meat, even a lot less meat. But not valid for eating NO meat (which is the position you intend). Presenting erroneous "facts" and then conclusions that do not follow from these facts does not help your case.

There's nothing wrong with not eating meat.
A better argument than telling people what they shouldn't do is to point out the inherent waste that most people are responsible for on a daily basis which, when magnified, build into a very unpleasant picture.
For instance the majority of all meat in supermarkets which is packaged in non-degradeable packaging is simply discarded as unbought. This means that supermarkets and food producers are slaughtering animals and the majority of that carcas is simply discarded to rot away in bins or landfill. If you take all the animals slaughtered in a year, the bulk of any animal will simply be thrown away but only after its meat has been cut up into segments and sucked into clingfilm and polystyrene. This is the very essense of waste.
So you have in this subject a very good animal rights point to make which can, with a little care and attention, be married to a very coherent anti-capitalist point.
To be honest with you, the original article does look like yet more trolling because having met many vegans over the years, I've yet to meet any that sound as stupid in real life as this article reads!

Also, I'm not a fan of industrial food producion, let it be vegetables, animals or mushrooms
But you people represent everything that is wrong with the AR attitude. I spell it to you: animals are eating animals all the time. ALL THE TIME. In massive quantity. Just an example:
Or would you say that we should ban dolphins, sharks, fishing birds, etc.?
I don't mind that you don't want to eat meet, drink milk, eat eggs. That's your CHOICE. My choice is different. If the animal rights would be about bringing down the industrial food production, fine. I slaughtered chicken but I was the one who fed them, I was the one who saved the chicks from the dog, and look after them. Slaughtering is not easy, and if people won't get meat in plastic bags and boxes, they will consider whether they really can face with the killing, or not for their passion.
Interestingly, most of my vegan/vegetarian friends doesn't want to go for a crusade, doesn't want to convert people but shares their advice whoever wants it, and they are lovely as anyone else. But you... I can't find words for your idiocy.

They need to do controlled studies. I eat meat Inc red, but I don't smoke do tons of exercise and rarely drink and don't eat much processed foods. This hasn't been factored into the study as far as I'm aware. They have only derived a correlation through observation. If more red meat eaters lead an unhealthy lifestyle such as figs and booze then yes of cause they are going to more likely get cancer.

They don't get a choice about it. So if you follow the Non Aggression Principle, you can act in defence of the animals, but you can't dictate what people can and can't do for their own welfare. It is their choice wether they take drugs, eat unhealthy food, smoke or what ever, so long as they don't break the N.A.P. it is their prerogative. This idea of enforced "caring" sounds like the violence STATISM to me, like war on drugs, war on terror, war on anything that makes a bit of money for someone with influence.

Science of Evolution Does Tell a Story.
15.03.2012 02:57
The length of your gut is derived as such in our specie by eating meals that are half meat, and half vegetables. If you understand that herbivorous animals eat only plants, and that fact of living causes a greater length of gut for the animals to get full nourishment out of the green veggies.
Carnivours animals eat only meat, and they in turn have the shortest gut, because the meat contains so much more nutrient and strenght inside of it. When using these two various forms of life as a comparison it is possible to see our own evolution, and guess what. It shows that our middle length of gut is caused because we have evolved for millions of years eating equal portions of meat and ecological organic green veggies and berries, nuts etc. That is a materialists way of arriving at truth.
The argument that only vegan is best or vegtables diet vegetarianism is best is slightly one sided and does not take into full genetic make up of our very particular specie. For instance it is true that eating only veggies if they are grown by the agricultural organic methods, then that is for sure better than consuming Monopoly Capitalist Factory food whether it is plant or animal. That is because they are excessively poisoned, hormonized, enzymized, drugged with speed up or slow down and dyed particular colours to suit the 'monopoly concious housewife' that only looks at the superficial brightness of the commondity product.
For instance, the house wife does not buy potatoes that grow sprouts in winter the salesmen for agribuiz figured out, that potatoe sprouts in spring time looks to her as too vulgar. For that reason alone the last solution wash on a potatoe is a poison that kills the bud and stops the potatoe from sprouting. Effectively the potatoe in the Super market is brilliant and looks perfect. However I would just as soon eat a live potatoe with sprouts in the spring time than eat a dead poisoned potatoe that looks brilliant. Not to mention the ignorance of GMO's. etc.
Multiply this form of exploitation of domestic plants or animals many and womany times over and you can see the danger that the so-called report says it will kill you. However whether you eat polluted meat from chickens raised in cages and fed hormones, enzymes, drugs in their food to pacifiy them and stop them from pecking themselves to death, or cattle raised in feedlots living on and in their shit all their short lives, or pigs raised on cement floors in barns where they cannot ever see the sunshine, where they cannot use their instincts to root with their noses and etc. That is so-called Modern Agriculture. It is in fact 'concentration Camp Agri buiz'. The last most exploitative way of making life miserable for the plants and animals.
It would however be better to eat only small portion of natural organically grown meat than to eat poisoned vegtables, as eating small amounts for poison over a long time will also shorten your life.
The above thread does not deal with mother nature and scientific truth but with silly, rude reports that confuse the peoples, and are therefore dangerous of and for themselves. My own experience tells me to eat meat three times a week, and every day 50-50 if you are working hard,. With , fruit. nuts and berries along with yougurt and milk all organic and vitamins. etc.
No to the point of the argument, Another world is possible, and it must contiain the agricultural method of organic food raising whether meat or vegtables. That is the methods of the original way Peasant commune way of free choice. of raising food without exploitation, and in the organic method of putting back into the land as much organic matter as you take out each year with an organic crop. That way the succeeding generation will leave a natural strengthened land for the comming generations instead of a chemicallly burned-out unproductive plot of exploited soil. Workers of the world, untie!! You yet have a world to win!!

American porton sizes are massive. I've no doubt that eating a 16oz steak a day will decrease your life expectancy. Though when put in perspective 13% is not that much even if the study is accurate. They found a 40% increased risk in people who didn't excercise, but no-one's advocating compulsory fitness routines - yet.
To be honest a '13% increase in the risk of death' doesn't sound that scary. I'm 100% sure I'm gonna die so I reckon I could cope with a 113% chance of dying. This sort of 'research' gets picked up all the time by lazy jouros. I don't think a Daily Mail has yet been printed that didn't tell you that a glass of wine would either kill you or make you immortal.
There are many valid arguements for not eating meat, but the only one that could come close to justifying banning meat would be that of the rights of the animal not to be killed. Personally I'm far from convinced by this arguement, despite the fact that I choose not to buy meat or dairy - so I doubt you'd have much chance convincing 'normal' people who seem to be pretty addicted to the stuff.

However meat eating has its fair share of problems, whether or not you believe the results of this study there are many more which show both meat and dairy are not ideally suited to human consumption. But before we all start shouting about evolution lets look at what the argument actually entails. Evolution is a process driven by context and imperative i.e. we need to adapt to our environment. However we have now reached a point where at almost every level and for better or worse we are able to adapt our environment to our needs, to produce whatever we choose in the appropriate quantity. We may have developed our canines at a point where eating meat was a neccesity but that is clearly no longer the case but after all this time meat and dairy still have a negative impact on our health then argument by evolution must be that we should not eat these things.
Anarchists & socialists and most other radicals have a world view which opposes the exploitation of living creatures for profit and power. Now I know that many do not view a human life and animal life to have equal worth so this argument alone is not going to make many converts. However eating animals impacts on people! One way this happens is this through the added intensity of farming that goes into creating another tier (grain/veg/soya-animal-person as opposed to grain-person) which naturally increases the amount of emissions & amount of land clearance, hastening climate change. Secondly it reduces the amount of subsistence farming if the land is otherwise employed, creating what to many is a luxury product and not a viable source of food.
Many are willing to openly denounce the evils of the sports car, big house, status symbol existence for those who suffer as a direct and indirect consequence of the economic relationships which facilitate it. Choosing to renounce eating meat is no different! To use the parlance of the Red Left eating meat is tantamount to bourgeois decadence.

It needs to be stopped. Full Stop
I eat a Paleo diet (its basically a hunter/gather type of diet). Green leaves, lots of meat, fish and poultry. I stay away from a modern agricultural (grain) diet because it is bad for your health.
I eat a lot of eat of all kinds for health reasons, but because I just indulge in the taste. I don't care what you think, you can't tell me what to eat via willingly or by legislation.
Grains play absolute havoc with insulin levels - scientific fact. The only reason it is the big part of the traditional food pyramid is because the US department of agriculture adopted it to encourage the industry. Their took it from the Danes who made it due to shortages of foods - it has no historic background in health studies and is no less recognised as a convential wisdom
Beans contain leptics which play havoc with intenstines -> hello bowel disease.
Meat eating should NOT be stopped, it should be encouraged as there is plenty of scientific studies to support eating a diet that our evolution is based around for last few million years.

You are confusing an overwhelming majority forcing the minority unwilling to wear seat belts to do so with imagining that a tiny minority of militant vegans can force an overwhelming majority of omnivores not to eat meat.
That's why I am saying that your have gone off the deep end talking about forcing people not to eat meat. FIRST you have to convince large numbers of people to accept your position. You have to CONVINCE large numbers of people. You will have little success with that if you are peceived as a nutter so lost tio reality that you haven't a clue how the population CURRENTLY divides on the issue.
It is WHEN (and of course if) you have assembled an overwhelming majority that you can discuss the merits of overriding the wishes of the remaining minority.
MEANWHILE -- you can of course protest and you can of course attempt to disrupt the killing of animals and the eating of meat.

This study was an observational study over a number of years culminating in a CORRELATION between slightly increased mortality rates correlated against increase in red meat intake. This study tells you nothing useful, other than possibly justifying another study.
Correlations cannot give you causation, it is a fallacy to derive a causal link from a correlation. You may as well say that there is a correlation between being stabbed and walking around at night, therefore walking at night will kill you.
As previously mentioned, there was no mention of the numerous additional dependent variables such as fitness, smoking, history of heart disease etc.
I do wish anarchists/vegans would get a basic grip of science before shouting about studies, statistics and chemicals. 'Organic' nonsense, hunter-gatherer diets, grains are bad for you, meat is bad for you, diary is bad for you. According to some primitivist dickheads, everything is bad for you.

Strawman argument. No one is arguing that we should be able to eat humans.

Morals are defined by the majority at a certain time in history. Perhaps in 500 years from now people will think you like will be in the majority. At that time, your morals will be correct. At present - they are not. Morals evolve over time - they are NEVER absolute. 2000 years from now we may have more evidence of how plants are sentient beings and that it is morally wrong to eat plants as well as meat. Or, maybe it will go the other way, where cannibalism is morally acceptable. Who knows!

I'd agree that there are issues in the meat industry (like everything else on the planet). That is a separate set of issues that could always be improved upon (like everyone else on the planet).
>> It is these kind of things that explain why vegans are so passionate about what they do, and can sometimes be seen as despairing for humanity.
I understand your viewpoint. Yet, it is different to mine (and many others). I'm actually quite passionate about eating meat as I believe our evolution for million of years has been based on a hunter/gather lifestyle - this is the most healthy as our evolution evolved around it. Grain based farming only occured about 10,000 years ago so I believe that we arn't equipped to digest this food without harm (backed up by scientific studies: bowel diseases).
>> Just because other animals eat meat doesn't mean that we should as well. Some animals routinely practice rape and cannibalism - that doesn't mean we should do the same.
Another strawman argument. No we shouldn't rape, no we shouldn't do cannibalism. Yes we can fart, yes we can burp, yes we can eat meat. The yes/no is defined by morals at this time in history which is defined by a majority consensus. Presently, rape it not ok, eating meat is ok. Maybe in the future, rape will be morally ok, and eating meat will be morally frowned upon. Who knows!
We shouldn't act like an animal. Neither should be not act like an animal. We should have the freedom to act how we wish to.

Sensible advice, please read.
20.03.2012 17:42
Digestive health would not be treated with an increase in meat in your diet. Too high protein in your diet can cause kidney stones which are incredibly painful and do a lot of damage along with other problems.
You definitely would not want high protein in your diet for neurological conditions either. For neurological conditions you would want to lessen dietary components to reasonable levels and that, for the majority, would normally mean reducing your meat intake. This is based on the majority eating too much meat to start with.
A responsible diet for the majority would entail a high vegetable diet with some meat acting as a supplement. Meat is generally more difficult to digest than vegetable or plant content. The reason being that vegetables are designed to be eaten in order to carry seed over distance. A lot of plants require ingestion by animals in order to spread the seed over distances to propagate the plant species.
Over very many thousands of years, plant species have been evolving to be safely ingested toward this end.
A vegetable and fruit based diet is fundamentally safe for you to eat excepting highly specialised toxic species. Meat is generally bad for you and if you have to eat it at all, you should do it in moderation.
If you eat very high content of meat throughout your life, You aren't likely to survive into your 6th decade without experiencing chronic digestive tract damage and illness, some of these illnesses can be fatal.
A good measure for good health would be 80% vegetables/fruit and 20% meat/fish. For most in the developed world, the actual measure is 70% meat/fish and 30% vegetables/fruit. This actual measure is probably responsible for 60% - 80% of all visits to hospitals requiring extended treatment with associated dietary advice.
Fundamentally, meat contains far more fatty tissue which when ingested gives an immediate feeling of fullness and being well fed. But it also gives a feeling of sluggishness and apathy too. This probably explains its popularity in developed nations where there is a persistent lack of opportunity to eat due to the time demands of business and industry. The less time you have to eat, the greater the tendency to eat "quick nourishment feed" is to you. So a high meat content diet develops along with the associated health problems.
While this industrial food stuff diet might seem satisfying in the short term, it actually works against you. The immediate feeling of nourishment and being well fed you get from eating fatty meat is derived from the fatty tissue contained in the meat, the feeling of being sluggish and apathetic afterwards, comes from the fact your body is having to burn extra energy to digest this fatty tissue. So eating meat actually makes your body work harder.
As you get older, your metabolism slows down and you are unable to burn all this fatty tissue away and you develop excess fattyness over time. Because this fattyness is derived from meat, It is much more difficult to get rid of it through exercise than it would be if it were fattyness derived from liver sugar, which is responsible for the storage of energy in lean fat.
So generally, eat no more than 20% meat in your diet thoughout your life and between 40 and 50 years of age, step your meat intake down significantly. In your very senior years, eat no meat at all or very very little. In very very old age, you should be making every last bit of energy count.
