So you argument is that there is no difference between mammals and plants? 

Have you ever tugged at the plant and found it is hanging on by the roots, resisting.

 

Ever tugged on a plant and ones hand slips and it makes that squealing noise.

 

Those are plants hanging on for dear life and feeling hurt.

I love animals, and I know my animals was cared for and loved and had a good life before we eat them.

Stay lean and fit. Get enough sleep. Avoid stress. Homo Sapiens is an omnivore, so, consume a balanced diet, and your body will figure out for itself what to do with the 'nutrition' you ingest. ????

 

(Oh... and be careful crossing the road ! ???? )

It's not just about longevity though.  A decent diet and regular exercise will help you feel better every day.

Cannabis and alcohol do that for me.

I was going to write some of the rules I live by but somehow I ate a whole packet of cough drops last night and spent the night and today vomiting and diarrhea with massive stomach ache.

Interesting study connecting mental illness with vegetarianism.

The study couldn't decide if the vegetarian lifestyle attracts the mentally ill or the vegetarian diet causes mental illness.

I used to cycle with a bunch of vegans, they were not only aggressive and violent but had to keep injecting themselves with vitamins in order to remain competitive.

 

Not my idea of healthy.

to maintain erection for long you need sildenafil, which likely prevents Alzhaimer.

But prostitutes don't live long and happy lives, might suffer emotionally, mentally and catching different diseases. Some of viruses and the other infections can lead to different cancers. 

So sex rather with regular partners, than just random

The BBC ran a story a few years back saying that vegetarians are a third less likely to go to hospital for any reason.

 

If you provide a link to your story I'll go find the article. I believe it studied something like 65,000 people.

The Australian Heart Association recommends eating no red meat at all and limiting chicken in favour of fish.

[pgrahmm]

Intermittent fasting brought the weight down to 95 from 117 (195cm)....We eat about 9:30am and 2pm....

The wife raises veggies & fruits in our small garden & makes sure I eat my "greens".

I bicycle about 5k in the evenings saying hi to the neighborhood puppy's & teach them a few tricks with doggie treats....

I bought a home gym and workout 6 days a week + a few light dumbbells - sometimes 2 a day = Sundays off....Nothing overly strenuous & reps of 40-60-100 go by quickly depending on which exercise.....At first I was using less reps with heavier weights but I didn't like stretching the machine cables too much....

Breakfast usually is the standard eggs, bacon, toast, veggies....

I make our bread & make our large pizzas 2x large baking sheets....

No smoking....Saturday nights we'll karaoke accompanied by some Rum & Coke....

 

Weeding sugar and coke Zero out of my life....Water works just fine....

 

I ride the bike rather than walk because for too many years or rigorous team sports (until 71) have worn the knees & hips to a frazzle.... I've done 1 hip replacement & really want to avoid doing the other hip & a knee....They don't bark unless I over stress them....The bike seems like the best alternative.....

Daily vitamins & that's about it.....

Not as much as some do, but more than others....

At 74 = still flexible & no real aches and pains.... Pulse rate at 58 which is unchanged over the years - I take that as a good sign = less wear & tear.....

I generally avoid most fried foods....

Given these misgivings w.r.to plants and animals, what do you eat?

Not exactly conclusive.

Conclusions

In Western cultures vegetarian diet is associated with an elevated risk of mental disorders. However, there was no evidence for a causal role of vegetarian diet in the etiology of mental disorders.

 

It also points out that 35% of Indians follow a vegetarian diet.

 

-----------

 

Ditching meat and fish in favour of a vegetarian diet can have a dramatic effect on the health of your heart, research suggests.

A study of 44,500 people in England and Scotland showed vegetarians were 32% less likely to die or need hospital treatment as a result of heart disease.

Differences in cholesterol levels, blood pressure and body weight are thought to be behind the health boost.

A plant-based diet may lower severity of COVID-19 infection by 73 per cent

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is rising worldwide, especially in older adults. Diet and lifestyle, particularly plant-based diets, are effective tools for type 2 diabetes prevention and management. Plant-based diets are eating patterns that emphasize legumes, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds and discourage most or all animal products. Cohort studies strongly support the role of plant-based diets, and food and nutrient components of plant-based diets, in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Don't really have any, besides a wee bit of common sense & moderation.

 

Never smoked tobacco ... so that's easy.

Ganga ... will be once (1 doobie) a month

Sip alcohol on rare occasions, and rarely 1 L at any one sitting.

Most foods, dining in house, made from scratch, and minimal processed meats, along with moderation.

Multi & vit C to fill the gaps, w/ a wee bit of walking.

Fair enough.

 

BUT....

 

What about dying 20 years early?

 

What about dying at 60?

 

What about living with a disability after having a stroke?

 

What about having foot amputations or going blind from diabetes?

 

What about walking around with a <deleted> bag cos you lost all your intestines to cancer?

 

There are other options than just dying a few years earlier.

 

You know you might not just glide off gracefully into the clouds with a beer in one hand, a joint hanging out your mouth, and a raunchy Thai woman between your legs.

Sure, there are many options, for all of us, even if we exercise and have a strict diet, etc.

If I would see a big deadly tsunami wave coming in my direction, and if I would have maybe only 2 or 5 minutes more, then I can look at my life and tell myself: You had fun. Eggs benedict and a couple espresso for breakfast, spaghetti cream sauce and ice-cream for lunch, I enjoyed my time.

 

I think that's a lot better than thinking in the last minute: I lived so health and I am still tired from the exercise and now I will die and the last time I had spaghetti was 3 months ago. That's not fair.

 

I know which version I prefer.
