DANGEROUS AND MOST LIKELY DIET TO PROMOTE LONGEVITY.

““...there is now an overwhelming ...there is now an overwhelming scientific and medical case for avoiding scientific and medical case for avoiding the consumption of meat and meat the consumption of meat and meat products despite the government’s products despite the government’s attempts to persuade us otherwise.”attempts to persuade us otherwise.”--Dr. --Dr. Richard Lacey, prominent microbiologist Richard Lacey, prominent microbiologist

Meat eaters must be instructed in how to make sure their food is safe

Vegetarians can eat bountifully without worry
