Ethical Vegetarians are Unhealthy -Roger Mason
We used to go to the local Vegetarian Society potluck every month, even though we are not really vegetarians (we eat seafood) and have a delightful time. It soon became evident that most "ethical vegetarians" are not doing this for health reasons at all. They bring white rice, white bread, sugared desserts, chocolate, and literally drink soda pop with their meal. These people are doing this for ethical and compassionate reasons rather than for better health.
Linda McCartney, wife of Paul McCartney, was the epitome of ethical vegetarians and bad health habits. A stereotypical Jewish (Eastman) overachiever from Scarsdale, NY, she married at 18, had a daughter and abandoned her husband. She became a rock and celebrity groupie, and had affairs with the likes of Warren Beatty and other such people. She posed as a "photojournalist" to get access to The Rich and Famous- which is a fancy term for being unemployed. You have to give her credit though for being a single, unemployed mother who married one of the richest men in the world. She was a chronic pothead all her life (at Young Again we're all for drug legalization, but not for drug dependence), couldn't sing a note, and was tone deaf. Nevertheless, Paul made sure she was always on stage singing with his band Wings. She was an extreme leftist always promoting socialist, and marxist causes like PETA, Greenpeace, the anti-fur people, and the like. Paul later married a one legged prostitute and porn star. What kind of drugs is he on anyway?
Being an avowed "vegetarian" she wrote three cookbooks, and started a line of very high fat "vegetarian" frozen foods in England. Her "Home Cooking" book sold a quarter million copies, and misled many people as to what vegetarian diets and natural health really mean. Take a good look at her main cookbook to prove this. She takes the typical unhealthy high fat, low fiber, high sugar, high calorie, low nutrient diet and merely takes the red meat and poultry out. Period. That's it. There is an old saying, "If you don't eat the Devil's meat, don't drink his broth." How can you be a vegetarian if you eat eggs, milk, and endless dairy products? Are eggs vegetables? Are milk and dairy products vegetables? Why call yourself a vegetarian if you eat animal products?
She died at the age of 56 of breast cancer caused her awful high fat and high sugar diet. Like George Harrison (read Can't Buy Me Love under "C"), she ran to the most expensive specialists in the world to be butchered, poisoned, and irradiated until she glowed in the dark. So much for natural health.
To give you an idea of her recipes,let me list some of the ingredients. She used white rice, white flour, white bread, and white pasta instead of whole grain products. She used endless amounts of sweeteners including corn syrup, white sugar, and confectioner's sugar. She used baking powder with aluminum salts (which are very correlated with aluminum accumulation in the brains of Alzheimer's patients). She used lots of eggs and egg yolks which are full of cholesterol and very allergenic (read Eggs are Bad Food under E). She liked coffee, chocolate, and cocoa. Most of all she was obsessed with dairy products like milk, sour cream, goat cheese, cheddar cheese, yogurt, cream, and anything else full of indigestible and very allergenic lactose and dairy proteins. Milk and dairy are the number one allergenic food on the face of the earth. She also loves hydrogenated margarine full of trans fatty acids that clog your arteries. She actually used trans fats in her daily diet! You're starting to figure out why she died of cancer so young, aren't you?
The worst tragedy in this is that Linda died and Yoko Ono is still alive. Such is life and maybe we'll be rid of Yoko soon. Click here to return to the article library.
