Except of course that would produce huge amounts of C02 from our backsides.

Perhaps we should just give up, gorge on meat, cheese, chocolate, wash it down with copious amounts of booze and finish off with 10 woodbine a cigar and a port.

At least we would die happy!

Our backsides produce far less emissions that cows. If we eat less meat we will need less cows. It will mean we can all fart as much as we like.

I think you will find that many are viewing the claims made about that study with a lot of scepticism, not least because it was a small study,relied on participant feedback, and drew a lot of unevidenced leaps from a study in mice.

Still, there is some value in aiming for a balanced diet, where meat and processed foods form a smaller part of your overall diet - at least until you are over 65 or so, then pig out on as much protein as you like! ;)(

Ludicrous story ! You get minerals and vitamins from meat...you get nothing whatsoever of use or benefit from cigarettes.

"you get nothing whatsoever of use or benefit from cigarettes."

[mikey4444]

Society....is addiction a benefit now ?

watching a tv programme this morning it said you would have to eat a large steak or the like every day for it to be bad for you

[emmie]

[boxtops]

There's lies, lies, and damned statistics - I don't trust any of these small-scale research projects as being any more valid than the one before it.

You cark it only when you are meant to whatever you eat,drink or whatever road you go down, the sooner we as humans learn this the more we will dismiss crap that's fed to us through media and those who wish to control us!
