Improves mine!
They are ALL depressed!
I just had bbq pork ribs and brisket. I can attest I am not depressed.
Pfft. This clearly falls into the category of studies someone wasted a lot of money on.
Makes sense. I’d find a meat-free diet rather depressing.
That being said, is it that depressed people tend to become vegetarians, or that vegetarians tend to become depressed? Or maybe it’s just a depressing, vicious cycle.
Years ago a Freeper posted that his brother was a doctor and would shock his vegetarian patients by informing them that one of the effects of such a diet could be severe gas.
IMO, vegetarians become depressed. They become vegetarians while not depressed for some save-the-the-planet reason and end up becoming depressed as time goes on.
My thoery is that steak is madicinal is proving to be more and more correct.
In other words, libs are miserable people. Nothing new there.
Counterpoint: Left wingers are both more likely to be depressed or to be vegetarians.
The factor in both is possibly the ideology affecting attitude or nutrition choices.
All this may be true.....but since I went on a beef-free diet 4 weeks ago I have slept better, have more energy, and poop better. And I only speak for myself.
“The researchers suggest that avoiding meat may be a “behavioral marker” indicating people already with poor mental health.”
One of our sons is a college athlete, he is so intense/controlled with his diet and exercise that it seems on the edge of a disorder. He works out hours a day, seven days a week-has for years. He is absolutely rigid about his food. Uses a kitchen scale to portion out every single thing he eats, won’t consume any sugars or dairy. Recently he mentioned that plant sourced protein is superior to meat and I discovered plant based “meat”balls in the fridge.
I’m concerned about his rigid control-the above statement seems to ring true in our home. He has lost his sense of humor and all joy in life He works like a dog at everything, yet seems to enjoy nothing but the control he has over himself :(.
He ran into a high school teammate who commented on how much weight our son had lost-he was never even close to overweight. Not sure how to help him.
I always wondered why i am so brilliant while at the same time not being a leftist...
Every adult veggie idiot, I have known in California was a depressive and vile liberal bastard, who drank too much wine and smoked too much pot.
After they turned 40, most were not in good health. If they made it past 50, they finally listened to their doctors to eat meat and go to normal diets. Then, they survived. The veggie diets/bs were the real killers not the pot unless they had lung cancer.
They seem to do okay with a Mediterranean/modified semi keto diets. Their saving grace was that most kept up their exercise and never became obese. Getting past age 70 for most of them, seemed to be an impossible task.
We have several sharp 90+ year old female friends. Besides an active life in a church, they never smoked, enjoy wine and have a great sense of humor. They evolved into what we would call a Med. diet. They network with similar women and have a great sense of humor. Many have buried at least one husband and some 2 to 3 husbands.
they feel bad about eating meat, therefore they feel bad about most things.
Veganism is an attention seeking disorder.
So it might be a self selection bias.
