Why do veggies say il get heart attacks?!
Answers: i dont know why this is but alot of veggies assume just because i eat meat that ill get cancer or heart attacks lol im in perfect health..doesnt it give you decent veggies a bad name when they all spout oh yo torture the meat and your a murderer. lol so why do these people never get corrected by the normal veggies and vegans..why do you allow them to lie and call themselves veggies or vegans..any thoughts?
Because the ignorant ones read it off a pro vegetarian propaganda site somewhere and think it's a written in stone gospel truth. Of course no decent,open minded reasonable thinking vegetarian says that. But you have to admit that eating meat does increase the RISK though not automatically giving you a heart attack. But people take risks all the time and it is not worse than any other human endeavor that involves risks. Heck, crossing the street in New York city at rush hour is probably more hazardous to your health than eating a steak every now and then.
Yes some vegetarians assume that meat-eaters are automatically candidates for serious illnesses.
It is largely because they're misinformed; a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing and evidence that might point to someone who eats a great deal of meat being at slightly increased risk of colon cancer becomes 'meat gives you cancer'.
I feel I should point out two things; one is that in my experience the veg*ns giving out that sort of misinformation tend to be very young and inexperienced with all the zeal that comes with being a recent convert. The second is that you are perhaps being a little selective in your reading of answers on here - it certainly isn't true that people making such statements are never challenged by other veg*ns.
