Could veggie burgers increase your lifespan? Many experts insist that switching to a vegetarian lifestyle can greatly increase overall health, leading some to ditch their pork rinds like an old smoking habit. Still others swear by an omnivorous diet, saying that occasional New York steak never hurt anyone. Is a fresh helping of tofu just what the doctor ordered, or only a lot of empty calories?

skull and bones = poison, does it not?
i found it humorous to see scott gold's moniker was a skull and bones... kinda proves the point, no? a subconscious admission of the deadly habit of eating animal flesh?
not that animals have to be toxic... but by the time they go through the modern factory farming system, they have been poisoned, so anyone who eats them is also poisoned. and even if not, their flesh is still simply flesh... it is usually scavengers who eat dead meat. true carnivores eat animals freshly killed.
take a piece of meat and a carrot... put them outside in the sun for a few days. you will not want to go near the meat... it has putrified. the carrot will be pretty much a carrot. in fact, grains and grapes are much sought after by even meat eaters when they are left to ferment. but animal flesh? forget it! it gets NASTY!
imagine what it does in your intestines.

"imagine what it does to your intestines."
Why imagine when you have the full capacity to test such theories first-hand?

raw food digests best...
interesting video. and you're right... raw, fermented food -- whether vegetable or animal -- will digest better than cooked food. but most people in this culture eat cooked meat devoid of enzymes or ferments that will help digest it... and i doubt that many will embrace such a diet ... i prefer to eat indoors, myself.
in the meanwhile, avoiding cooked foods and embracing raw foods is a very healthy choice. eat rotten meat if you like, but i'd rather have sweet, raw, succulent raw fruits, refreshingly green greens and sensuous seeds & nuts. it's easy to make sunflower seed cheese... which provides ferments... and you can eat indoors without stinking up your house. :) here's the lowdown on the debilitating standard american diet (SAD):

oh, and btw -- i hear that eskimos who eat that way don't live to be very old. ? "a primitive Eskimo over the age of 50 is a great rarity." makes sense to me. the longest lived are those who eat simple vegetarian diets (from http://www.diseaseproof.com/archives/diet-myths-are-the-inuit-healthy.html ):
1. Abkhasia: Ancients of the Caucasus
Where people are healthier at ninety than most of us are at middle age
2. Vilcabamba: The Valley of Eternal Youth
Where heart disease and dementia do not exist
3. Hunza: A People Who Dance in Their Nineties
Where cancer , diabetes, and asthma are unknown
4. The Centenarians of Okinawa
Where more people live to 100 than anywhere else in the world
