[FRIAM] The case for vegetarianism

[Marcus Daniels]

Eating animals accounts for about 66 gigatons of extra CO2 which is about the same as from food waste at 70.    Hydrofluorocarbons from discarded air conditioners, etc. is the only larger single source at 90.

I don't know the members of Friam personally, but I get the impression it's not exactly a youth club and maybe some might be interested in living healthier longer? (Compared to most others in our culture). I've been following the longevity work of David Sinclair and just maybe one of you might find it interesting?. I quote:
"David A. Sinclair, Ph.D., A.O. is a Professor in the Department of Genetics and co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at Harvard Medical School".

If you navigate the site you'll find a list of his publications.

A short video clip from an interview with David where he discusses plant- vs meat-diets. His conclusion is that to live healthier longer (as opposed to merely living longer) one should (amongst many other things) not eat meat, especially not read meat. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmRzeD4_41M<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmRzeD4_41M>

Disclaimer: according to David, vegetarianism is not the most important factor in living healthier longer, it's probably relatively low on the list, so die-hard carnivores (like myself) can still eat moderate amounts of red meat and still live healthier longer.

To conclude, a short presentation by David about his work on longevity in general: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V-IaeVCHlw<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V-IaeVCHlw>
