Dan Piraro from www.bizarro.com masterfully made this really awesome video. It's a talking pig that explains why eating meat is bad for you.

@FathomlessJoy "Hell, I am still trying to figure out what exactly is being said. Some are saying..."

In other words, you don't know anything about the subject, and are completely clueless yourself, yet you spout dogma like it's truth??

ROFLMAO at your idiocy.

From a great scientific article:

"Although bacteria in the large intestine of humans do produce vitamin B12, this vitamin B12 does not appear to be absorbed (5) and is not adequate to prevent a vitamin B12 deficiency (6). Although some vegans may get vitamin B12 from inadequate hand washing, this is not a reliable vitamin B12 source."

My B12 levels are normal as is my blood sugar level at 4.5 mmols/liter. Not bad for a vegan wouldn't you have to admit?

Hockey players eat meat and many get injured such as the recently injured superstar who now cannot play any longer due to brain injury. Do you know his name? Hockey is a violent sport a lot of the time.

Loreen Dinwinnie is 108 years of age on a vegan diet. That is much older than your grandmother Beef boy.

My main reason for commenting in this video is to dispel the lies in the videos 'arguments'. There is no scientific basis for it.

Conclusion: Humans are classic examples of omnivores in all relevant anatomical traits. There is no basis in anatomy or physiology for the assumption that humans are pre-adapted to the vegetarian diet.

veganskeptic.blogspot.com/2010­/10/are-humans-omnivores.html also breaks down the dishonesty in arguments like those in this video.

@veganfemaleathlete keep in mind too that Davinci's age wouldn't just be attributed to his diet, but to his lifestyle. He had benefactors, and was not one of the poor, working-class uneducated peasants that had no access to doctors of his day. He was also less-likely to be involved in workplace accidents, etc.

It's like saying meat is unhealthy because inuits don't live as long ... it's a baseless argument due to confounding variables, like access to health care, etc.

[AlbertaBeefy]

@veganfemaleathlete FYI I've never said the vegan diet is bad for anyone. Look at my quotes, I say it's certainly healthier than SAD.

I do state, and science backs me up, that it NEEDS B12 and possible other supplementation. All vegan medical experts agree with me here. All of them.

However it is not now and never has been proven that meats (except processed meats) are un-healthy. A meat-only diet isn't healthy, but meat/fish and lots of veggies IS.

[AlbertaBeefy]

@veganfemaleathlete By that logic lets take up smoking and drinking.

George Burns lived to be 100, and attributed his longevity to his regular diet of martinis, smoking the big cigars that were his lifelong trademark, and dating pretty women. Burns ignored medical advice to change his lifestyle...

It's not science to list one person as evidence offor a lifestyle... There's lots of old people that aren't vegan. Lots of them. My Grandmother is 97 and eats meat every day...

How can Betty White be working and healthy if the vegan diet is so bad for anyone? Many people do well without meat or it's byproducts. Leonardo da Vinci once said: "There will come a time when the murder of animals is seen as the same as the murder of humans". He was on a plant-based diet from a young age and lived to 67 years of age when most people back then did not live that long.

[veganfemaleathlete]

How many actors in Hollywood are still active and working at 90 years of age? Betty White turned 90 last week and she is still active and working on two different shows now. She has been on a plant-based diet or vegan diet since she was a child. She does not need any medications yet most omnivores take medications for high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and a wide range of types of cancer.

I'd like to pose the same question as AlbertaBeefy:

How does listing celebrity vegans or vegetarians scientifically prove it to be healthier than eating a healthy diet that includes meat?

Please explain your scientific argument here...
