???????????????????

Considering that there are more meat eaters in this country that
veggies,
can you please explain to me, why, if the meat industry is 'poisoning
the
public', the public in general are living a lot longer and as proof,
the
pensionable age is to be raised because of the shortfall in pension
funds?


Some are living longer, some arent. Many are dying far too early.
Cancers, CJD, Dementia etc.

Doesn't stuff like that kill vegans?

Only if they turned vegan too late.

LOL. Good one.

not really, given that there has only been 160 odd deaths nvCJD has been the
vegetarian scare story that just failed to happen
Wonder when they will publish the figures for those who have died from nut
allergy in the same period

Peanut allergies account for 50 to 100 deaths in the United States each year.
Some youngsters must eat at a peanut-free cafeteria table or even in an
isolated room. Some airlines have stopped serving peanuts to safeguard people
allergic to even a whiff of the nut.

Peanut allergies have been rising in recent decades. No one is sure why, but a
new study found that baby creams or lotions containing peanut oil may lead to
peanut allergies.

Babies whose rashes or eczema were soothed by such creams were more likely
to become allergic to peanuts than those whose creams did not include peanut
oil, said Dr. Gideon Lack of St. Mary's Hospital at Imperial College in London.
