You made the opposite claim and the burden of proof is yours, Alan.

You made the opposite claim and the burden of proof is yours, Alan.
Nevertheless, I enjoy that you are adding some qualifiers to your overboard
generalizations. Not enough, but it is a start. ;)

When did I claim this?  And what discussion is this from? _You_ claim that
animal foods are detrimental to health and the burden of proof is on you.

How many times do I have to say this? You make gross overgeneralizations
and the burden of proof is on you. The "counteragruments" to your
always-true-for-all-people statements are almost a joke. How about, for
instance, _I_ do better with animal foods; my wife does better with animal
foods; my 14 month daughter does _great_ with animal foods. Prove me wrong.
;) All it takes is one instance to prove your inane over-generalizations
wrong. Stop making them and you'll hear a lot less from me.

Yes, he does a delighful job of showing your lack of logic. He really is
something special and contribues greatly to the list.

Heaps of tangible and specific counter argument has been thrown out by
Jean-Loius and you simple duck and weave. Indeed, you very rarely deal with
the gist of any criticism.

Sheesh but you enjoy the nationality racism. I picked up "cheers" while
living in New Zealand. Does that count?

Yeah, I forgot....  ;)
