Happy vegan day!

Translation: nef had a Hot Date!!

Marine Room $$$$$$$$$$

Haha. Nahhh, my "hot date" is going to be a belated birthday dinner in the near future. Last night I had a very good friend (whom I've known for years) in town and he insisted on something really upscale for my bday, which was yesterday.

There is a server there, guy named Jimmy, who is literally the best server I've ever had. I love this guy, he makes an art form out of service, and by chance he has been my server all three times I have been there. I prefer the view at Island Prime and the steak at Ruth's Chris, but I like Marine room specifically because of this guy.

So let's see... they couldn't find a link between red meat and those diseases, but did find a link between "processed" meat.

Here's what we know then:

1) Red meat doesn't cause measurable damage.

2) Processed meat and those diseases are correlated.

3) The article admits that we don't know the mechanisms of action, or even if the relationship is causal.

So let's apply Occam's razor which states that among competing theories, the simplest one is probably the correct choice (I'm paraphrasing).

So which one is simpler:

1) Processed meats contain subtle compounds that cause these diseases, but these causes have eluded modern science despite our advanced knowledge of organic chemistry, biochemistry and genomics. These causes have also eluded our detection despite access to complex diagnostic assays, sophisticated imaging and the vast availability of laboratory animal models.

Or...

2) Someone willing to eat spam and deviled ham in a can don't give a shit about exercise, smoking, obesity and substance abuse either -- so they get these other diseases more often too.

I'm gonna go with (2) Regis. Final answer.

they have found a correlation between excessive red meat consumption and various degenerative health disorders. The problem is you have such a high variance in metabolism among people that some people can eat meat their whole lives and not show any warning signs, while people who sit all day long then come home and sit some more on a couch...probably should never touch red meat save on special occasions. It's about metabolism. There is also research being done on diets for certain blood types. Basically if you have confounding health issues it would be wise to experiment with altering your diet.


Bottom line is people eat too much, if it's vegan or meat or whatever...it's too much. We're not the same people we were thousands of years ago. Even then people didn't eat 3 or 4 times a day...let alone the 6 or 7 that gets espoused by the fitness industry. If your body is constantly digesting food you're not making hormones, that's a medical fact. Your body will not produce hormones while there is excessive food sitting in the stomach. This is why meat in this day is bad for you, unless you really are hunting it yourself. Meat you get from the supermarket doesn't have the necessary vitamins, minerals and enzymes anymore to help the body efficiently break it down.

Only part there I'd agree with is that people eat too much.

Someone could live exclusively on McDonalds and an occasional multivitamin and as long as they manage calories, exercise and sleep, they'd be just fine.
