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?

Are Vegetarians Healthier?
Show us the link between disease and eating meat
because there is none. There may be peripheral factors some meat eaters engage in which are putting them at risk. But the science does not support vegetarianism or veganism as a healthier alternative. In fact the case can be made that meat is a necessary part of your diet , and that you can live on it exclusively. Food is a choice. For a long time I wanted to be vegetarian , or even vegan, god forbid, because I had issues with agriculture and saw the PETA videos, and bought into the propaganda that meat was unhealthy. But never did I feel eating meat was inherently wrong. Humans and other animals eat each other and have since time immemorial.
Again, there is no llink between animal products and cancer , stroke, diabetes, cholesterol problems, etc. If you can find it, publish it.
