Wow, he has all of his information backwards. I’ve been doing research on health and there are currently studies being undertaken on the adverse health effects of meat eating. Apparently, severe meat eaters have a higher risk to many different diseases, including cancer and osterperosis.
And yes, tainted monkey brains brought AIDS into humans.

i think the guy probably is a bone caner so he literaly has billions of necicary meat fat blocking his healthy developement, which makes me bring in the A word (but i’ll spell it correctly) — he’s ASININE!

Bone caner. Heh. Maybe the commenter is a “little” worried about his bone. *snort*

And literally billions? Wow. That’s a lot. Wonder why the meat industry isn’t flashing that info for all the world to see. If eating meat prevented AIDS then I will literally bet billions dollars that the meat industry would have billboards on every corner announcing it for all the county to see.

SO much snark, so little time.

Veganism causes AIDS! Please alert Nina Planck with this tidbit for her next op/ed piece. Isn’t one of the theories about how AIDS came about was from eating tainted monkey meat? If anything it seems that eating meat is the problem, not the solution.

What’s really sad that either this person doesn’t know the meaning of a simple word like “literal” or s/he believes that there really are literally billions (plural!) of studies linking vegetarianism to the diseases mentioned. It boggles the mind.

Hahaha, niiiiice. Someone ought to point out that if he wants to impress anybody by referring to a freaking cold as the “rhinovirus”, he needs to spell maybe 50% of his post right first.

I’d like to see ONE study that blames a lack of meat for any of those conditions…oh, and it needs to have been funded by somebody other than the CCF!

The interesting thing about him bringing up the unchaining of dogs, is that I just got an email from peta yesterday asking to send me some literature. Primarily was leaflets with information on the heat and how it can kill, so don’t leave your dogs (or cats or babies or elderly mothers or the dali lama, etc) closed in a car on a hot day. But also some leaflets about unchaining dogs. I am betting that this guy is himself a peta freak, probably got the same email from them, and thus the comment about unchaining the dogs.

I’ve heard that AIDS thing before, and it is strange. How can a so-called well informed person not understand the most basic aspect of how a sexually transmitted disease is transmitted? And with the “bone cancer” thing, and his confusion about sexually transmitted diseases, well my mind is going in funny, but probably not appropriate, directions.
