Thanks for the links Fredrik. I printed these out and
was having a great time reading through all the
information until I came across this.
Following are a few quotes from the man himself. Keep
in mind that Harvey Kellogg the obese vegetarian grain
pusher and inventer of Corn Flakes outlived the
carnivore Stefansson by 8 years.
"The danger is that you may reason from this good
health to a great longevity. But meat eaters do not
appear to live long. So far as we can tell, the
Eskimos, before the white men upset their
physiological as well as their economic balance, lived
on the average at least ten years less than we.....
Perhaps it may be considered that meat is, overall, a
stimulating diet, in the sense that metabolic
processes are speeded up. You are then living at a
faster rate, which means you would grow up rapidly and
get old soon. This is perhaps confirmed by that early
maturing of Eskimo women..... It may be that meat as a
speeder-up of metabolism explains in part both that
Eskimo women are sometimes grandmothers before the age
of twenty-three, and that they usually seem as old at
sixty as our women do at eighty.
So you could live on meat if you wanted to; but there
is no driving reason why you should......
Damn!!
