really bad ear ache and headache, with a little bit of soar throat and sinus pain. i went to a doctors appointment yesterday and they ruled out the stuff like ear infection and strep. anyway, since i am a vegetarian they think it's a diet problem. i get migraines, but not really sure if that's what is going on. anyway, got an idea of what it might be? will some help it?
Earaches are the worst fucking thing ever. I've only ever had one *knock on wood* but it was so bad I couldn't close my jaw for like a week. I wouldn't wish that shit on my worst enemy.
IME, ganja helps everything except fevers.
Good luck dude. And, I'm sure I'll throw off your animal saving when I go to wing night tomorrow. Fuck, I kill like 10 chickens just to eat there.

Why should that mean it isn't real?

Fuck... I dont wanna start up one of those big debates that goes nowhere though... over and out.
Evolutionary biologists. That's who.
The website has special interest written all over it too. But I don't want to get into this debate either so, leave it at that.
In any case there will be a desire to switch to a vegan diet in the coming future. We can't support the growing population with convention methods of raising animals for meat. They take up too many resources, unless of course we just start growing genetically growing steaks.

Since it sounds like you're not being a vegetarian for moral reasons why not try to stomach some chicken noodle soup or something with a chicken broth?
Definitely don't go out and get a red meat as going from vegetarian to full on red meat usually causes stomach pains. Besides, I doubt you'd even want to.
Something very light with a small amount of chicken/broth would probably help in some way.
Whatever you choose make sure to drink plenty of fluids and to eat even if you're not hungry/thirsty. TAKE VITAMINS! If you can't drink a lot of water because of your throat I find that those fizzy things you can put in drinks are extremely helpful and relieve the pain temporarily.

You don't want to get into the debate but come out with a loaded first sentence like that... oh man. Anyways, it does not really matter how we evolved to the point we did, large amounts of flesh or not, because the book I linked to is about a study that proves a plant-based diet is superior today. The website may hint to special interest, but thats marketing, and this mans credentials speak for themselves.
For more than 40 years, T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. has been at the forefront of nutrition research. His legacy, the China Study, is the most comprehensive study of health and nutrition ever conducted. Dr. Campbell is the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University and Project Director of the China-Oxford-Cornell Diet and Health Project. The study was the culmination of a 20-year partnership of Cornell University, Oxford University and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine.
Dr. Campbell received his master's degree and Ph.D. from Cornell, and served as a Research Associate at MIT. He spent 10 years on the faculty of Virginia Tech's Department of Biochemistry and Nutrition before returning to the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell in 1975 where he presently holds his Endowed Chair (now Emeritus).
His principal scientific interests, which began with his graduate training in the late 1950s, has been on the effects of nutritional status on long term health, particularly on the cause of cancer. He has conducted original research both in laboratory experiments and in large-scale human studies; has received more than 70 grant-years of peer-reviewed research funding, mostly from the National Institute of Health, and has served on several grant review panels of multiple funding agencies, lectured extensively, and has authored more than 300 research papers.

The original statement was concerning whether or not we are DESIGNED to be vegetarians. Not whether or not a vegetarian diet can be maintained today. It is not how we are designed.
Besides that there's plenty of contradictory research that finds the reduction in certain conditions consistent with a lean protein diet. Of course too much red meat is unhealthy, but there's plenty of research that lean meats are of benefit to overall health.
Not to say you can't be a vegan/vegetarian and be healthy, but to suggest that by eating meat you're less healthy than those who don't, there's not enough evidence to conclude that as you claim and plenty of evidence to contradict such claims.
Is that the statement you chose to quote and respond to?
