This makes me happy. Because vegetarianism is unnatural and stupid.

My late father got B12 and iron shots when he was in his 70s.

Well you have no reason to worry.

You’ve been a meat eater since your late teens :)

Do the vegetables/lack of meat cause depression, or are already abnormal people attracted to yet another ostensibly “alternative lifestyle?”

Vegetarians are much more likely to be mentally unbalanced, both before and after they go on their dietary crusade.

Nothing lightens the mood like a nice medium rare sirloin

My very dear friend, a nurse married to a doc, is a lifelong vegetarian, which has done nothing to lower her high cholesterol and now she’s getting glaucoma. She has a lot of energy and looks great but after reading this I wonder whether her ongoing fury with her husband is a form of depression.... But maybe he really is a jerk.

I tried to be a vegetarian a few times, but cannot walk or talk without meat. So I’d be one of those depressed people — or maybe just somnambulant.

Didn’t I read a story earlier today, about a Doctor, talking about euthanizing the depressed? Where do we sign up these euthanasia candidates that cannot eat meat? Why make them suffer any longer?

Vegs I have known never get more than minimal sunshine thus lack vitamin D. Vitamin D is the only actually effective medication for depression and works without eliminating all moods and feelings like Xanax et al seem to do. In the winter supplementing with 5 or 10k of Vitamin D3 will be proof against Winter Blues as well as against flue and colds.

Did I need to put a /sarc tag on that? “Oooops. You look tuckered out boy. Rest yourself. You punks look tuckered out too. Don’t go home.... Don’t go to eat... And I am paraphrasing here... Don’t do nothing that wouldn’t look good on my highway.”

Been on a low carb diet for over a year and have lost 55 lbs, my triglycerides have improved immensely. My cholesterol us way down too and my immune system is better. Meat is a huge part of the diet.

I feel for them... As a compassionate human being. They have been mislead and probably do not realize the true reality that for tens of thousands of years men have even been eating other men. Feelings and guilt aside we are designed to eat meat whether we like it or not.

We would be an extinct species if we had not. But no worries, They always figure it out sooner or later when they look in the mirror and realize they have the physical appearance of a POW from Auschwitz and a real doctor tells them why.
