Vegetarians are hypocrites?

Well then that could be the cause, altho dont you think that the things I mentioned would tend to negate this some?

well who connected the dots, you or me? 😛

you implied that eating meat and smoking etc. have little effect on a southern person...but really thats still not proven.

what may be a reality is that southern people are less affected by an unhealthy physical lifestyle given the compensation of a more healthy mental state/lack of constant mindnumbing stress.

but then i could go on to argue that if the majority of southerners engaged in a 'healthy' lifestyle, the rate of people who break 100 would skyrocket.

btw i put 'healthy' in quotes because i dont subscribe to the idea that eating meat is really that unhealthy. perhaps its better to not eat meat, hell if i know. but the opposition tends to exagerate that and declare that eating meat is a self imposed death sentence.

Err yes I was pointing that out. Please see above post interaction between PVS and I for more info. 😉

I'm lookin' but I'm not seein'.

it really is fact that stress is a killer.
i think the best illustrated proof is photos of abe lincoln.
if you see a photo of him before the war and one taken
during/after, he looks like he aged 40 years. its freaky.
for a while i have scoured the web looking for these photos,
but alas my search is fruitless.

Stress is related to the No. One killer especially in A type personalities.

I've finally realised what makes you seem so debbiejoish [adj].

It's that you continually cite examples with no personal critical input at all. When you do put your own opinions in, things go nutty.

Then, for the remainder of the time, you celebrate the merits of tuna, or the number 3.

That's not a personal slight, but my analysis.

I do not seek payment, but you might make a donation to a charity of your choice.

OMG!!! 😂

I had an acquaintence with a vegan long ago. And he told me that the reason he gave up on meat was because he couldn't consume something that was kill in cruelty. Cows as an example get clubber to death with a hammer in slaughter houses. And he found that to be a good reason why eating meat was bad. Quite frankly I found that to be rather silly. However, I could somewhat understand his reasons. No one wants to die by getting kill with a hammer. Especially a defenseless animal like a cow.

I don't see that as hypocracy. But I do see that as being over sensitive towards things. Yes, a cow dies and we eat it. We could choose to eat vegetables and save a cow. But in reality we're just carnivores...we eat meat. Denying meat is to deny one of our primal instincts. I love meat! I don't eat it everyday...but I enjoyed it. There really is nothing wrong with that.

With that of diet, genes, and uptight shits....It's a certain close of the digestive system which leads to alcers, Intestine problems, nutrueints not getting through, heart problems, restrictions in blood flow, cut off of circulatory....geez...

God there is so much written about it.

Stress is a leading example according to doctors, and Type A personalities are loaded with it.

What's a Type A personality?

You can't just assume someone knows that without context.

yeah, i have no idea wtf a 'type A' personallity is.
i hope i'm not one 😑
why did my arm just go numb?

Labeled by the professionals would be something like this:

Type A / B Personalities
Meyer Friedman, an American cardiologist, noticed in the 1940's that the chairs in his waiting room got worn out from the edges. They hypothesized that his patients were driven, impatient people, who sat on the edge of their seats when waiting. They labelled these people "Type A" personalities. Type A personalities are workaholics, always busy, driven, somewhat impatient, and so on. Type B personalities, on the other hand are laid back and easy going. "Type A personality" has found its way into general parlance.
Type A behavior: The poorly recognized and rarely treated major coronary risk factor.

Stress and diet is effected more in circulation to organs leading to diseases, digestive problems..Ulcers and depression.

😂 Need to ask the professional community I guess, though from what I've read the hard drivers are more prone... 😐 People in the south tend to be more laid back, and it could be they are less prone to body upsets whether it be digestive which could and almost all other problems come from lack of nutrients.......lack of the best nutrients are causes of other problems down the line.....Much written about it.

Was any of it written in Cosmopolitan?

the irony is that i think many here have been conditioned to expect and even have developed a morbid want for debbiejo to derail the topic 😂
