Why not just spell it "Gaven" so you can shoehorn how you're a vegan into every thread by way of your name being an anagram for "vegan"?+Anonymous B — 12.9 years ago, 3 minutes later[T] [B] #321,197

Enjoy your clogged arteries with that heart attack. Your karmic debt for all the suffering you've caused.

I'm just joshing you, bud. If I can feed my tomato plants hotdogs, you can eat soy. Nature finds a way.

If being a vegetarian is so healthy, why is hypertension & diabetes on the rise in vegetarian Indians?
I'm constantly hearing about how Indians are the perfect models for vegetarianism, how they live so long, are healthy, etc. But do these same proponents realize that diabetes & hypertension have risen significantly over the years in the ovo-lacto-vegetarian Indian population (which is the majority-you'd be hard-pressed to find a vegan Indian-even they know enough to include eggs and milk in their diet).
Their diet, high in legumes, whole cereals, fiber-rich vegetables and low-fat dairy products, is generally regarded by health institutions as "healthy" and good for reducing hypertension. But why, then, is it causing the exact opposite effect?
A couple things that stood out in the article I linked to is that 25% of men in the study had hypertension, while only 12% of the women had it. Furthermore, out of the men in that 25%, 70% led a sedentary lifestyle. Only 8-12% of these hypertensive men were agricultural laborers. This leads me to conclude that a vegetarian diet is not healthy unless you're very active (I highly doubt that exercising for a half hour every other day counts as "active".) Advances in technology and India's increasing mobility (trains, cars & buses) mean that Indians don't have to work as hard to get where they're going, and have equipment and machines to do their jobs instead of having to do it themselves.
Here's the study:

> 70% lead a sedentary lifestyle
This so much. It's diet and exercise. The two are closely linked. Healthy eating alone is not enough to just be healthy. It is better than not eating healthy but, as stated with the information you provided, you can eat healthy and still not be healthy.

You should have read it. You can eat healthy and still be unhealthy.
