WOW, talk about your very serious nutjobs
http://www.biblelife.org/myths.htm

Here are some of my favorite parts.

>This web site will prove the most healthy diet for humans is:

70% total fat on a calorie basis
31% saturated fat
<

>Cholesterol in eggs does not cause heart disease.
Saturated fat in red meat does not cause heart disease.
Actually, they cure it.
<

>Vegetarianism is a religion which is falsely disguised as a healthy way of eating. True vegetarianism is the worship of animals.<

>Laws and meat inspections prevent the sale of red meat with any unhealthy level of hormones or pesticides.<

But my FAVORITE PART of the whole page has to be this paragraph which, I believe, may explain much.

>Many people have become so paranoid about pesticides that they think they will surely develop cancer if conventionally farmed produce is eaten. This is a myth because present day pesticides are tested extensively for safety. As a teenager on a farm the author was literally drenched in pesticides including DDT, Malathion and two others. My father put four different pesticides in the tank of a heavy duty sprayer that was pulled behind the tractor. The sprayer had a 1" (25 mm) diameter hose and a pump discharge pressure of 400 pounds per square inch (27.6 bars) that would literally drench a full-grown apple tree in seconds. The high-pressure, high-volume spray created a cloudy mist of over spray which left me with a pure white coating of pesticides as the moisture evaporated. The pesticide remained on my arms, neck and face for several hours until spraying was completed. I received more pesticide in each spraying than the average person receives in a lifetime. This was repeated for many years with spraying done several times each year.<


:wow:

1. Well that explains a lot...
" I received more pesticide in each spraying than the average person receives in a lifetime."

Sounds like the fundies needed one more area to be crazy in.

"The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Guide Pyramid was developed by vegetarians with an agenda. "


This is almost as bad as those chemtrails websites.

4. Hah! "Straight Outta Eden"
Straight outta Eden
Crazy m'f who's vegan
You say "what's the teeth for?"
That you're a carnivore
Get lost, and then hit in the ass by the door

You don't get it just cuz I won't eat them
I say you need a chance just to meet them
You say, "but they're so tasty."
So why you lookin' pasty?
Food poisoning knock you down pretty hasty.

Wow, that sucks. This is why Dre and Ice Cube (since Easy-E is dead, now) are still making money off that CD and I'm just another po white boy in Florida. Sigh.
