“We say that one gets cancer, or a cold, or kidney disease. One would never think to say that one is cancer. But we say that one is depressed, or bipolar, or schizophrenic. A disease of the body is a condition. But a disease of the mind, we think, is a state of being. We no longer believe, as we did 250 years ago, that the mentally ill are animals, but we are not yet ready to grant that they are fully human either.” ThinkingYearsMindBelieveHumansStatesBodyAnimalConditionsReadyColdDiseaseYears AgoIllCancerGrantsBipolarKidneysSchizophrenicMentally IllKidney Disease Author:Paul Gruchow

“It's a common myth that athletes and other highly active people need the protein from meat and dairy to fuel their activities and build and repair muscles and other bodily tissues. In fact, there is growing evidence that consumption of too much protein can lead to very serious health issues, including kidney disease, osteoporosis, and cancer. The active body can get all the protein it needs from a diverse, 100% plant-based diet.” PeopleNeedsFactsBodyCommonIssuesToo MuchGrowingSeriousActivityDiseaseEvidencePlantIncludingAthleteCancerActiveMythMeatDietsMusclesFuelDiverseConsumptionProteinTissuesDairyKidneysHealth IssuesPlant Based DietOsteoporosisKidney Disease Author:Sharon Gannon
“Elsewhere the paper notes that vegetarians and vegans (including athletes) 'meet and exceed requirements' for protein. And, to render the whole we-should-worry-about-getting-enough-protein-and-therefore-eat-meat idea even more useless, other data suggests that excess animal protein intake is linked with osteoporosis, kidney disease, calcium stones in the urinary tract, and some cancers. Despite some persistent confusion, it is clear that vegetarians and vegans tend to have more optimal protein consumption than omnivores.” ShouldIdeasEnoughWholeAnimalWorryClearFoodDiseasePaperStonesNotesIncludingAthleteCancerConfusionDespiteDataUselessMeatVegetarianVeganExcessElsewhereConsumptionRequirementsLinkedPersistentExceedProteinKidneysOptimalEating AnimalsCalciumOsteoporosisMeat IndustryMeat ConsumptionKidney Disease Author:Jonathan Safran Foer
