Licking the Razor's Edge (2015)

In addition, even though we have evolved to be able to eat meat as a survival mechanism,
our digestive systems are very similar to those of the other plant-eaters and totally unlike
those of carnivores. We don’t have the stomach acidity that carnivores have for killing
food borne illnesses, and because of the length of our intestinal tracts (which are designed
to remove the nutrients from fruits and vegetables and grains), rotting meat and its many
diseases have more time to make us sick.
MYTH #03 – “It is too much trouble to become a vegetarian.” …
This is simply not true!
Fact: BECOMING A VEGETARIAN IS NOT THAT DIFFICULT.
Removing meat from your diet is NOT a huge sacrifice, but rather simply a matter of
making adjustments in how you cook, shop and order at restaurants. More & more folks
are waking up to this way of Living, and many supermarkets in the U.S. & Europe have
already recognized this trend. It is actually pretty easy to find good vegetarian foods
these days no matter where you shop or where you go out to eat.

Now that the main myths related to eating meat have been exposed, consider the
following facts about meat consumption that are patently True:
*FACT #01 — Eating meat is intimately linked to CANCER … True
There are many studies that now show that even eating moderate amounts of non-red
meat regularly causes cancer in humans.
“The association between consumption of red and processed meats and cancer,
particularly colorectal cancer, is very consistent.” ~ Marji McCullough, PhD
(with the American Cancer Society)
*FACT #02 — Eating meat damages the ENTIRE BODY … True
All meat (not just red meat, but also chicken, pork and turkey) creates an acid-heavy
system in the human body, which in turn taxes the digestive system, the heart and the
immune system. On top of that, all of the chemicals in meat can cause major, lifethreatening
problems in the colon, bladder and prostate.
