"Vegetarians have the best diet, They have the lowest rates of coronary
disease of any group in the country... Some people scoff at
vegetarians, but they have a fraction of our heart attack rate and they
have only 40% of our cancer rate. On the average they outlive other men
by about six years now."
- William Castelli, M.D.
Director of the Framingham Heart Study
(that's six *retirment* vacation-time years, dont forget!
and all those meat eaters say "i dont *want* to live longer when im that
old anyway," but that's just because they're so decrepit b/c they're not
veggies. we'll be *vibrant*! ;)
