They’re all pants. Ask a transplant specialist. They will tell you to go ghetto old school and just use a pan of water on a heating grate. Anything else is a mortal threat to someone that’s immuno-compromised.

Ships like that are designed to take the motion out of the ocean.

I’m with you. Live for today because you might not have a tomorrow.

Survival as a species only requires living long enough to procreate. Without all manner of technology that unnaturally extends lives, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion.

Modern life in general is “bad for the planet”. If you’re really that worried about the planet, go live like an Amish person or a Bushman.

...except there is no “huge international team of scientists”. There’s just some people sifting through old data. There’s even some people on the “team” itself complaining about how strained the inferences are.

No, we just have cancer declaration fatigue. We also know just how effective government dietary guidelines are. The industrialized world is still recovering from “the food pyramid”. Plus there’s always the risk that any political organization will push a political agenda.

I think it’s only useful if you actually have a family history of bowel cancer. Otherwise it’s just something to contribute to mental illness or high blood pressure.

As someone actually trained in science and statistics, the rest of the article didn’t impress me much either. It came off as equal parts the usual nonsense about cancer or nutrition with possibly some political agenda included.

Science is “dumb”. Studying humans is hard. There are all sorts of “ethical” hurdles. Plus cancer is hard. It’s complex in ways you clearly can’t even begin to fathom. As soon as scientists think they have an answer, they get thrown a screwball. Science in general tends to be like that in ways that most laymen don’t…

It really depends on how bright the vegan is. The vegan is handicapping herself and it requires more diligence to bridge the gap.

You can’t stop me from eating potatoes either... ‘-p

...for animal populations? Certain parts of North America used to be nothing but bovines in every direction as far as the eye could see.

Agriculture in general is a leading cause of pollution and it’s under regulated.

Garbanzos have 8g of protein per 100g, not 19g. Where do you people get your nutritional data?

Those evil nitrates prevent botulism. I would not trust uncured processed meat from an American producer.

Two of my own relatives nearly made it to 100. Neither one of them conformed to “current health fads”.

I have relatives that abused their bodies badly and lived into their 70s and 80s. I have some that ignored any sort of food fads and lived into their 90s. I have others that paid attention to healthy food fads and didn’t make it to their 60s.

Beans don’t contain “tons of protein”. They contain some, but they are mostly (very complex) carbs.

One “serving” of broccoli does NOT have 5 grams of protein unless you have a rather excessive notion of serving size.
