let's do this again

Why would you take the opposing side on this issue? (although the thread is on green house gases)
My comment is generalized, not directed at anyone.
Agreed. You are what you eat. I wouldn't go within 50 feet of something that looked that sickly, and yet people think it's OK to eat it.
You seen that video on YouTube where the person pours Coca-Cola onto some raw pork, and worms come out of it? I showed that to a meat eating friend who doesn't understand why I'm a vegetarian and even he was disgusted by it.
Before I turned vegetarian, I would probably catch colds/flu/etc like 3 or 4 times a year. Last year I got sick twice.
It'll be November 2009 in a few days time and I haven't gotten sick AT ALL this year. Not even slightly.
Take into consideration the fact that almost everyone I know has been sick at some point this year, I've personally encountered a bunch of people who had swine flu, a primary school less than a mile from where I live had more swine flu cases than anywhere else in the UK, and I've travelled more than usual this year due to shows, and that says it all. There's no magical solution behind it, it's just that a vegetarian diet is healthier and that's a fact.

He was probably a vegetarian.
For the record, I eat meat (not beef and pork) and I haven't had a cold in 2 years. Does that mean eating meat reduces your chances of getting sick?
Im doing 2 masters degrees so I attend double the amount of classes. And at Michigan (my uni) there are 40k+ students so I am surrounded by sick people...

you just said, you don't eat beef and pork. therefore, you watch your diet to some degree, which means that you are probably careful about what you eat.
this means that you aren't the average joe meat eater that i'm referring to.
i would still bet you'd be healthier if you stopped eating meat. our of every single person that i know who has become vegetarian, whether i have encouraged them or not, every single one has reported that they are healthier for doing so.
don't try and claim this is wrong because the statistics and evidence i have heard and seen for myself do not lie.

Look, it all comes down to love. As a part of nature, what we do to nature, we do to ourselves. If you love yourself, you won’t harm yourself. You won’t put harmful things in your body. If you love the sea, you won’t pollute the sea. If you love animals, you won’t kill them. Love doesn’t injure anyone.
My point was serious, but I put it in a joking way. If you don’t eat beef and pork, you pretty much don’t eat meat. Fish is not meat, it's fish. And everyone knows chicken (soup) is good for colds.
