Jokes, aside, not sure if I can take this serious. I feel like cancer is in inevitability. Cancer could probably be caused by alot of things... a big diet of red meat it probably not good anyways.


Cancer is caused by a lot of things because LOTS of diseases are gathered under the generic name "cancer" ...

So is cancer in itself generic? Haha...

Wrong. You just ate less calories than you expended. Simple as that. You gained weight because you ate more.

Pretty much. Increases in obesity rates correlate very strongly with increased caloric intake over the past four decades:

There's a pretty clear causal factor, too, with calories consumed vs. calories burned and weight. Excess calories can cause weight gain. People are eating more and not exercising enough to compensate, thus an increase in obesity/average BMI. Since single data points are apparently acceptable in this discussion, I'm slightly above average height and am a little underweight according to standard BMI metrics. I don't get as much exercise as I need, but then again I don't eat a lot. My total daily calories almost never exceeds 1500, well below the average calorie intake of an American male and at about what you'd burn off just sitting on your ass all day. I'm not a big eater, so I'm not a big person.


I'm quoting this here, because of the excercise part. The thing is, that at the same time people have been getting more and more fat, they have excercised more and more...

That's because your body works the way that it compensates excercise by eating and not the opposite. It is also why athletes don't die in hunger.

 

Oh, and about the graph; also, while the energy intake have been growing, people have been eating less and less fat.

I must have naturally high testosterone then. I haven't eaten meat in over 10 years, my sex drive is through the roof. Im always in mood to do the electric boogaloo lol.

Same here, people such as you and i have been on both sides of the fence and have lived the differences, meat is a dead energy and i dont miss it at all.


You know guys, your "both sides" is processed food versus non-processed. I too have been on both sides, and like very much eating tasty animals.

 

About the T, high carbs get your testosterone levels up. Meat raises T levels because of it's zinc and vit B content, but if you're able to get the vitamins and trace elements elsewhere, this isn't a problem.

Weird that a month ago, I decided to start the Mediterranean diet, and this news comes out.



There are plenty of higher calorie plant-based foods, such as; avocados, quinoa, edamame, various vegetable oils, nuts, potato products, coconuts. A good amount of vegans and vegetarians consume plenty of these products.

I pretty much just eat organic food now, and if I want something I make it myself.

You need to get a woman so that she can make it for you.
