http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/green-mile-actor-michael-clarke-duncan-dead-at-54-20120904-25b6l.htmlJust wondering if anyone saw this and thought "Hmm. I wonder if his newly aquired Vegetarianism habits played a role?" Dont know if he had any prior health problems before becoming a Vegetarian. Food for thought I guess.
That is actually quite interesting, not much can be drawn one way or another unfortunately. thanks for the share.
you know, I read that he had recently become a vegetarian and kind of thought the same thing too… that maybe that played a part. Obviously, I don't know that but it did cross my mind.
I am sure their will be results (autopsy, etc.) given at some point. There are also a variety of Vegetarian sub-groups.I've been a vegetarian (currently Lacto-Ovo) since 2002, and never had any issues. I've packed on a fair amount of solid muscle (looking into competing soon), my skin / hair looks healthier, I'm more energetic, my physicals / bloodwork / healing surprise doctors (like recovering from two different surgeries in 1-2 weeks, that should've taken 4-6), etc. All since giving up meat over 10 years ago. I am even having a successful run on CNS (see my log).Prior to that, I had frequent issues with indigestion, lethargy, catching general illnesses like flus and colds, etc. Maybe Veg. isn't for everyone, but it is working excellent for me.That said, I am NOT a Vegan. I am a Lacto-Ovo (dairy & eggs) Vegetarian. The only thing I do not consume is meat (of any kind -- including fish), or peripheral stuff like gelatin. I also ensure I get all of my vitamins, minerals, fats, etc. I do not mind the extra work and research to do it right.Not trying to promote vegetarianism here, simply stating my experiences to play devil's advocate to those questioning the diet.Cory
I think Lacto-ovo is perfectly fine.Egg Yolks are High fat dairy are some of the healthiest things around.I think the problem comes in with people are are fat-phobic vegetarians and vegans.Egg whites and vegetable oils have been the main protein and fat sources of the lacto-ovo's I know, and I don't think there is anyway to make vegan healthy.

LOL. Don't even get me started on sickly, palid Vegans -- not to mention their 'holy-than-thou' militant beliefs and campaigns, which are just as vulgar as the behavior of radical Baptists @ abortion clinics. To a Vegan, even a Vegetarian isn't good enough. Vegans ridicule us worse than meat eaters b/c they consider us half-assed in our diet. Sorry... don't mean to go on a tyrade, but Vegans really piss me off (in general). I believe in living and let living when it comes to personal comsumption.As for fat-phobia, there are a lot of meat eaters who have that issue thanks to fad diets in the media, so, it isn't an exclusive type thing... more of a 'modern hype' type thing.So, Vegans can eat their estrogenic / anti-nutrient tofu... I will stick to cheeses and eggs. 😉Cory

You're right about vegans.I mean, I know every diet has those "cult" people whom are just total assholes, but I haven't met a vegan who isn't' like that. Hell, I've been told I'm evil for eating meat before. I'm normally a pretty level headed guy, but I wanted to wring their neck.Fair point about fat-phobia being more modern hype then anything else, but meat eaters, mostly red meat eaters, at least get a better fatty acid profile versus fat-phobic vegetarians. At least from the one's I've met.As long as your aren't eating tofu bacon, you're good in my book. 🙂

I touch nothing w/ soy in it. 🙂You know what's really good? Fried scrambled eggs smothered in various cheeses.It is so good you'd think it'd be wrong, but not on CNS! 😉Cory

You suck. >:(If I eat to much dairy I get acne. :'(
I've never met a vegan, not even in college.
LOL @ the "not even in college" bit. That is where most of them seem to begin, unless they were raised by hippies.Come to NYC sometime, you will most certainly meet one -- especially in Williamsburg (Brooklyn 'hood) and the East Village.Cory

I don't get acne. I do sometimes get a nice chest rash (pinkish-red) across my pecs IF I consume TOO much dairy (usually when I go absolutely ape-$h1t on a CN). Doesn't stop me, though. ;DCory
I used to be vegetarian. I'm not any more! Checkout before/after pics: http://dangerouslyhardcore.com/forum/index.php?topic=4283I'm the same weight but have obviously re-comped. I used to have RIDICULOUS carb cravings when I was vegetarian. And when I was younger (as a vegetarian) I'd crave milk so badly I would drink pints of it (I observed the same in my siblings). I saw some vegan children recently. The girl's hair looked like white candy floss (she was Caucasian).

What is candy floss?
