    "Researchers who tracked nearly a quarter million adults aged 45 and older in New South Wales found no significant differences in all-cause mortality, meaning the likelihood of dying, of any death, between those who followed a complete, semi- (meat once a week or less) or pesco- (fish permitted) vegetarian diet, and regular meat eaters."

     

    Very large study here.

    Do you really consider those sources of information to be scientific bases for your notion that Vegans are weaker than meat-eaters?  C'mon, seriously, a "bro science" article, and a few off-the-cuff articles written by journalists (not scientists) in consumer magazines.  Sorry but I'm not impressed.  

     

    And you are incorrect on both counts; I study health subjects in-depth; not just casually read magazine articles on the subject or get my "facts" from bros at the gym.  And, as a matter of fact, I do lift weights regularly, and have done so for over twenty years. 

     

    And finally, an elite Vegan cyclist may be "skinny" but they can put out wattage (power) that is truly impressive by anyone's standard.  You don't need a bodybuilder's bulk to be strong.

     

    I take health and fitness seriously, and so do a lot of other people participating in this thread.  If you have different views, express them if you like but please don't insult others just because their views differ from yours.  Would it hurt to show a little respect for other points of view? 

    You are posting opinions not facts.

     

    Bodybuilders are weaker than powerlifters and they eat meat and eggs.

    we did indeed eat meat when we were cavemen/hunter gatherer's, but they ate it for survival, and meat was an excellent source of calories back then, now its 2018, your not a Caveman anymore, you don't need meat to survive, we have supermarkets now.

     

    as for health, I wouldn't say meat is poison, maybe factory farmed meat is, that is bad quality meat, sick animals is terrible conditions etc.. but if you wear to eat organic grass fed meat or hunt, then it would be a healthier better quality meat, but it still has saturated fat, cholesterol, trans fat, IGF 1 growth Hormones, so I wouldn't eat it everyday, maybe twice a week or something wouldn't hurt but I don't know.

     

    no one is here to force you to be vegan, we are here to just discuss an interest of ours and to educate anyone who's interested in Plant Based Diets, if you enjoy meat then do as you wish. 

    Grass fed beef is superior to grain fed. That's what I eat. There are issues with animal feed but there are issues with fruit and vege treatment as well. A lot of supermarket fruit n vege is second rate and anything but fresh.

     

    I think it's important for people to do proper research and not just follow the latest cool trend promoted by "gurus", many of which are just profiting on the gullibility of people looking for super foods when there is no such thing.

    With all due respect, isn't your comment a bit of a generalization, and perhaps an unfounded one at that?  Do you have any science to back up your statement?   

     

    I know of no studies that support your notion, but I do know of a lot of studies that show definitive links between eating animal proteins and a whole host of metabolic and neurological diseases including many forms of cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's to name just a few.  Suffering from one of these conditions would not be a good definition of "strength".

     

    And just how do you define "stronger"?  Here in Chiang Mai there are many Vegan athletes (triathletes and cyclists).  Many of the cyclist regularly go up Doi Suthep (over 18km) in around 30 minutes.  To my way of thinking that's a pretty good indication of "strength", and I can't imagine anyone considering someone that competes in triathlon as being weak.

    Distance cyclists are skinny and weak.

    The entire world is focused on the football team and their coach, rightfully so, but daily slaughter of innocent lives far exceeds those missing in the caves. And it continues.

    Cause the media is crap. All talk about finding kids in a cave which are most likely dead already.

     

    Yet the road carnage continues daily.

     

    The media is a disgrace.

    Of course she should get serious time.. just the same as others who do bodily harm. I can't imagine how bad it will be for the poor guy. Even if he cheated cutting it off is too extreme, just leave him. Same goes for those guys that beat up wives if they think they cheat.. nobody owns anybody and violence is never good. 

     

    Not sure how much time.. but something like this with so much impact on the poor guys life should be punished hard.

    Cut off her boobs

    200 lashes with whip

    15 years jail

     

    His life is ruined so ruin hers. Silly mole should have left him.

    When, and if, this happens European tourists especially the younger brigade will simply go elsewhere.

    The world's new Elite.

    Inevitably,  one cannot 'rule' forever.
