Red Meat Consumption Leads to Death
Science continues to confirm the wisdom of a mainly vegetarian diet. This Science Daily news article summarizes the results of a 10 year research study. The findings: Red and processed meat consumption increases mortality (also known as death).
This study was not done by a pro-vegetarian or vegan research group. In fact, one of the doctors interviewed felt there were still health benefits to meat consumption. Yet even this group had to concede that :
"There is a global tsunami brewing, namely, we are seeing the confluence of growing constraints on water, energy and food supplies combined with the rapid shift toward greater consumption of all animal source foods."
Yes, along with the health consequences, there are also environmental consequences to the animal based diet of our culture. As each day passes and more is learned about those consequence, the wisdom of the peaceable vegetarian lifestyle of the ancient Essenes is revealed.
