Re: link: 'Scientists Have Finally Discovered ....

Hello Hobie.

I once read a rather well done article concerning coyotes and heart worms. Turns out about seventeen percent of the coyotes in this region had heart worms, same ones that dogs get. This seventeen percent lived as long as the uninfected 'yotes and there was no discernible difference in health.

What is the difference between coyotes and dogs? Diet and vaccines. It's that simple. Dog food is slow poison and vaccines are more slow poison. A naturally non lethal parasite becomes lethal.

What I'm saying is that this issue of red meat and health is so narrowly defined that it cannot possibly be valid.

In addition there seems to be several types of human metabolism and some people simply do better with more meat while some do better with less meat. It's the same with all food groups. Each individual must experimentally determine what he needs for optimum health, and even that may change with time and circumstances.

There is no one size fits all.

This issue of this or that is healthy is symptomatic of a deeper social problem.

We all have an intellect which is a warehouse of facts and figures managed by a little built in clerk. We also have intelligence which is the ability to analyze in greater perspective. Over the ages and especially these later times we have been conditioned to believe that the individual, the I, is this clerk. Our analysis takes place inside the file cabinet and without regard for the larger office or mind where intelligence operates. We are each our own prisoner.

Anyway, to meat or not to meat, that is the question. One may answer only for himself.

Mike
