If you have not seen the documentary "forks over knives", you should. It presents some very compelling evidence that eating animal products is a casual factor in serious chronic diseases.

I personally favorite the Mango. Sweet, tart, and uniquely flavored, dried pieces can be added to oatmeal (don't forget your whole grains) with raisins and chopped nuts for a tasty morning energy boost.
I make it in batches so it lasts a few days.

I've been a vegetarian for 45 years, from the old Hippie days.
I used to preach it to the point I was unbearable to be around.
Now, having mellowed out in my old age, I pretty much keep it quiet.
I do notice the results however, when I compare myself to others my age, and all my friends see the noticeable difference.
I an very healthy, take no medication, I also do not smoke or drink.
Active, with lots of energy.

I bought a mango for the first time a couple of weeks ago, although I've probably eaten pre-prepared ones before. It was interesting and nice. The flesh takes some persuasion to separate from that large,

I'm impressed for some reason that you're a veggie — it almost balances out the Islamophobia. Are you a vegan or a lacto? Do you consume fishy creatures? Not everyone classes fish as meat. Can't you get deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals like vit B12 and iron with some vegetarian diets? My sister Clarabelle was a veggie for many years but returned to meat eating for health reasons after suffering from some nutritional deficiency. I think it might have been iron.

There are about 6 different types, and always the fodder for criticism.

People bring up religious purposes, and say how come you wear leather shoes, you're a hypocrite.

Well, I do wear animals, I just don't eat them.

Some just don't eat red meat.

Myself, I eat lots of seafood, no cow, chicken, or pig, or related warm blooded creatures.
Bananas and avocados, are super for nutrients. broccoli, cauliflower, peanut butter, Brussels sprouts, with garlic and butter.
I could go on and on.
Parties at my house, once a year. are a huge let down to some, and utopia to others.

The human body is in the phylum of standing vertebrae, inherently veggie, as your body structure shows.
Circular chewing motion, flat teeth, and long digestive tract, 24 feet.
Carnivores are built differently, with a short tract that can force bad food out in either direction, at will, you are stuck with it for at least a day.

I eat all day, and am slender, and muscular.

I also make the best guacamole on planet earth.

All of us had pet food projects we created, my masterpiece is guac.

I posted the recipe a few times, and will do so again if requested.

I used to guard it with my life, as it was always a special occasion to come over to my place for it, but now as the years roll on, I have it on my desktop for all to share.

A couple of avocado trees in my back yard also. Heritage avocados, planted by a veteran of the Spanish American war. Sweetest avocados you'll every taste, if you also are ever in the area.

The clear message here is that the more fruit and vegetables you eat, the less likely you are to die at any age”

Dr Oyinola Oyebode
Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, UCL

Risk of death by any cause over the course of the study was reduced by 42% for seven or more (up to around 10 portions a day)

A study of 65,226 men and women indicated the more fruit and vegetables people ate, the less likely they were to die - at any given age.

If gods/goddesses exist they live on mangoes.
I just wish they could find a way to shrink the pit.
Clarence, what the f**k is a kipper?
I've gotten really lazy with my foods. I buy prepared chicken cutlets/tenders. The breading and/or sauce is probably much deadlier then the hormones & preservatives in the chicken.
I'm not sure that ground Turkey in the 1lb tube is any healthier then red meat, but my local butcher burnes his store and is now doing time for arson.
Apparently, people in south Carolina are unaware that a normal fire doesn't burn concrete, or that pouring the accelerants on the block walls is a dead giveaway.
So, I've returned to Wallyworld & dollar store crap.
its not like anything is gonna add years to my life, anyway.

You have a point. I read an article some time ago arguing that the demerits of a diet rich in processed food are countered by the added risk from pesticide residues contained in a fresh food diet. It seems like you can't win. I'm opting for a largely fresh food diet currently and am bearing in mind the comforting thought that all the toxic residues may act as a kind of free embalming process that will preserve my corpse and protect it from the attention of insects and worms, should I opt for burial.


Roller skating 10 miles regularly sounds good. I used to run in the 1980's, and cycled obsessively in the 90's and 2000's, but lapsed after various injuries. I started doing some walking about 9 weeks ago in a bid to regain some shadowy vestige of my former athleticism, and typically aim for six or eight miles at 15 minute mile pace, which is kinduvva brisk walk that's quite hard to maintain on bad days when I'm not feeling good.

Agreed about the desirability of oily fish in the ol' dietary regime. I eat lots of those creatures — usually in the form of canned mackerel or sardines, which I have on toast. John West does a renowned religiously themed selection of oily fish, including the mechanically blessed products pictured below.

aaaaw furchi-but i looove canned peaches!! i always feel better after eating them.
i have to add sugar--natural sugars and proteins to my diet to keep my glucose levels high enough--im lucky to hit 89 on a good day and usually 55 or so on a bad--and yeah lots of chocolate lol lol

Crowley you should eat lots of processed food. Forget the fruit & veg, they're overrated. Eat anything in a can. You need fast food like mcdonalds 5 times a week. Oh yes, drink lots of soda and put sugar on everything. You will feel great. Also you should never do fitness activities, only wastes energy.

What's wrong ron u afraid I'm gonna live long enough to move back to Michigand show all the a**holes in your church what a pathetic b*tch u are?

ron your too funny!! lol lol

i can handle that-i need funny in my life lately--

whats that song by Dio-"dont let them kill the laughter"?

Unbelievable! How can it balance out Islamophobia? Ha ha ha

Might want to look up the word 'phobia'/

Lol. You're such a tough guy. crowley please pay me a visit if you're ever in the Detroit area. I promise if you do leave the D you'll be a changed punk. I'm of a not well known Christian sect found only here in the Detroit area, not the typical breed of Christian with which you are familiar. We're a tad different. I would unload some evil on your punk a** then tell father God I would like my allowance for taking out the trash.
