Long-goner you are just getting stupider and stupider. I wouldn't belabor the fact, if I were you, that you don't get a joke. It really doesn't reflect well on you. It actually helps to provide evidence for my point, that your brain is, in fact, in serious trouble. (I've met it abundantly clear I don't believe in God, or Satan, and I eat at Mc D's- but of course you may have forgotten all that. Do you have alzheimer's as well as hardening of the arteries, perhaps?)

Vegetarians are no better off than meat eaters. I rent out a 20 acre field to a local farmer and last year he planted peas. As they ripened we would go and help ourselves, it was like a lush vineyard. Then one day Mr. Farmer buzzes in and sprays on a foamy chemical that killed them, green to black in 24 hours. Our majestic chemically addicted farmers don't summer fallow fields anymore, they do what is called chemical summer fallowing. In the fall you will see a farmer in a spray coupe being followed down the highway by a semi-truck with huge vats of chemical on board. I've noticed a lot of their children suffer from a wide range of deformities. 20 years ago a field of wheat would be over 5 feet high, today they've bred the wheat down to about 3 feet. I have no idea what difference that makes in the quality of the grain. One thing for sure, avoid poultry (unless you raise it) pork (unless you raise it) and dairy beef because of the chemicals and horse meat at all times. Have you ever seen a healthy horse go to slaughter? Try and avoid beef raised by farmers because I'm afraid the stuff they spray with chemicals is probably winding up in their cattle feed. Try and buy good range raised beef, you'll grow up big and strong just like average joe.
