Well, I care and try to educate people because:

-When people make poor nutritional choices, they get diseases, which often baffle the medical community. Lots of people are sick in this country, which makes MY insurance premiums way too high.

-These same people think modern medicine will save them, which it won't, and demand things like prescription drug programs. That makes MY taxes higher. Do you know of a prescription drug that cures anything? No, they merely treat symptoms, not the root cause.

-I don't like to see people suffer, often at their own ignorance.

Your statement "The human body is set up to accomodate ANY diet." is crap. This is simply not true. True, the human body has an amazing ability to adapt, but that doesn't mean it is going to function properly long-term. Often, problems don't arise for years, or decades, until the internal resources of the body are depleted.

We will all be better off when people realize that their own actions affect others, even on a personal level like diet.

Lance (I mean no disrespect) people are far outliving their originally intended times. Pre Medicine, people lived about 50 years max! Hard living and sh!tty diet left them road wary and worn out. It has taken 100's of thousands of years to get to where we are now. It is comfort as well as diet that has kept up around for so long, as of late. Prove to me that Vegans and/or Vegetarians live longer and healthier than their Carnivorous counter-parts! You cannot! There has not been enough history on this subject. You know why? Because until now, people have not had the freaking option to disregard a plentiful source of food!!! Wake up dude! Sh!t man, do you think even the Depression era folks could have passed up a steak because of their "PRINCIPALS"??? Bullsh!t! Eat what you want but keep this topic on the "Meat Is Murder" newsletter! I like fast cars!

BTW- You are not "Educating" you are "Preaching".. Trust me, I am a Reverend.
