I went without eating beef for 15 years, not because of my health but

Vegetarians, in my experience, are more likely to be aware of their
own health and the health of the environment. No wonder the Bigot

I can come up with any number of quotes from reputable doctors who'd
say exactly the opposite.

How about heart disease and ingesting animal fat. Think there's no

There's some evidence that a severely restricted diet increases life
