Hate to tell you I told you so :P
Mar. 12th, 2012 10:21 pmNow there is evidence for what I already knew! Eating meat will make you die earlier! So now that is proven! yet another argument for me keep being vegetarian, not that I ever doubted that it was a good descion :P
Well from what I've seen and from what i know and from my common sense I already knew all this. But apperently they had done a study about it with 120 000 people involved over a time of 30 years and it proved that the ones eating meat would shorten their lifes. Also the risk of getting cancer is 13% bigger if you eat meat and if you eat sausages and that kind of really bad meat then it is as high as 20%. Don't want to scare people... but it is worth thinking of.
And if you still want to eat meat, well you can eat 0,5 kilo/ week. But as it is today Swedish people eat 1,3 kilo/ week so they need to reduce their meat-eating. I'm eating 0 kilos meat so no risk for me :)
And they also said that it is no danger to eat fish and birds. So yes one can eat chicken, but I don't because of ethical reasons... chickens suffer too much and the food-chickens lifes sucks so I'm not surporting that. But fishes I'm more ok with. Well mostly because it is healthy and I already knew that but also because I feel that the fishes don't have to suffer as much as the other animals. Sure they get killed and eaten too but at least it they lve in the ocean or a big lake they have plenty of space to move and as long as the water is not poisoned they should be living pretty well. Now there could be risks with eating fishes too and there are bad things with eating fish as well and I don't eat much fish nowadays. But I can do it. It is ok by me. But I'm not ok with eating other animals.
People eat meat mainly because they like the taste of meat... it is kinda like candy for people. It tastes good and they love it and I can understand that. When I ate meat I liked the taste of it too... especially bacon and salt pork. I would say that those were my favorites. But I always knew that the salted pork were not healthy so I didn't eat it often.
I think it is idiotic not to think of ones health... well people can do what they do... people do all kinds of things to shorten their lives... but if I can avoid it I rather. do that. Why be stupid?
So I don't smoke, I don't eat meat, I almost never drink alcohol anymore, I don't drink coffee (oh yes, I'm sure that isn't healthy either and I read articles about it), I train as much as I can and I try to drink a lot of water. I rarely have eat candy so I have only had one dental cavity in my life but could had been zero as well. I think maybe I got it because I'm not that careful when I brush my teeth. I could probably number a lot of more healthy things that I do.
But if anything would kill me I think it is the computer :P I'm very weak for computers and it is dangerous to sit still for several hours a day like I do so that is the worst thing I'm doing to myself.
Well in my job I have to sit in front of a computer... so I try to remember to take breaks but I'm very stiff and my neck sometimes hurt and I even felt some mouse arm tendencies lately.
Anyway, I think that people are afraid to become vegetarians because they don't know how to eat but it is really simple. You can eat just like before but just exclude the meat and replace it with something else. Many dishes you can still do as well. Like panncakes :) And there are lots of good vegetarian food and food you might not had tried if you only ate meat. I didn't have much fantasy when I ate meat. Now I have gotten forced to discover other things and it is really interesting... but lately I have gotten a bit stuck in doing the same kind of dishes over and over again just like when I ate meat... but we all have our favorites.
Today I had tofu with paprika, onion, zuccini, soy cream, soy and rice. A really nice dish.
Actually last time I were on after work with my job the vegan was the most happy with his food. He got a sweet corn soup and it really looked delisious but a little bit little food for me I think. I had aubergine with beans and cheese and it was really good as well and so said the other vegetarian who had the same dish as me but all of the meat-easters complained about their dishes :P I wonder if they would had liked the vegetarian dishes better or if they just had too high expectations... maybe both.
I feel that if something makes you feel good for a short time and bad for a long time then it is bad... and that's the case with fast food that we all know is bad for your health.
They I rather wat something that tastes good but also makes you feel good for a long time. It may not give you the kick of eating something really sweet and unhealthy but in the long run it makes you feel good. Same thing with training... you might not find it that fun when you start training but after a while you see how much more you are able to do and you understand that in the long run it is something really good.
I rather look at things in the long run and look at the whole picture then to find the kicks in small things that if you do them reguarly they are bad for you. It doesn't mean I don't enjoy life because life is more then unhealthy eating. It is also experience fun moments and things that has nothing to do with what you eat. The things we will look back on and feel happy about is not what food we ate a certain day but how fun we had with people we like :)
I saw a science program about wind-power stations on TV this evening. It started out positive with a positive man who showed his wind-power stations and who were really proud of them and how those could maintain all of the electricity that they needed and they could have a good consciense because they were using 100% green electricity. Me like very much! The man seemed very sane and nice and I really liked him. I want more people like him! Would be wonderful to be able to live on 100% green electricity!
Then after that they showed people who were negative against wind-power stations. Some old people that said that the wind-powers were noisy... umm.. ok? Well one couldn't hear anything on TV of course :P And they ahd experts on noise who said that those shouldn't be that nosy. But maybe they weren't that well tested. It was only one single wind-poer station that they complained about and it was not that close to their home. I would had been very happy to have a wind-power station that close to me and I mean traffic is noisy too and probably much noiser :P Anyhow I think that they didn't understand the good with wind-power and maybe afraid of new things because they are old. I don't know. But it sounded pretty silly to watch them complain about the noise.
But that wasn't the worst part. The worst was even yet an old lady who claimed that all wind-power stations must be removed because they destroyed the beautiful anture :P hahaha... omg... does she even know how much nature there is here... he are so little people in a huge country... we have room for a lot more wind-powers and who cares if they are in the nature? well obviously her but not me and then I'm grown up in the countryside basicly and I only feel happiness if I feel a wind-power station. It is much more disturbing to see electricity generators in the nature... and I've seen a lot of those and it makes me scared because they are so dangerious... so much electricity there... a wind-power station isn't as dangerous... of course there is electricity there too but it isn't as close to you as those electricity generating stations.I don't knwo that much about that.. but if people are ok with them then surely they should be ok with a little wind-power station :P
Then what was just so ridicilous so I couldn't do anything but laugh out loud was when that old woman claimed that the climatecrise was is a hoax, hahahaha... what is she? Have she been buried for the last decades?? of course it is not a hoax. Does she think that climate scientist would make up such a thing just to ear money?? Is she totaly out of her mind? Well the sad thing is that she is not the only stupid person on this earth who believes so. When watching her I felt like: Can someone please remove that stupid thing from the TV I can't see her anymore.. can't take this stupidness anymore!
I mean think... use your brain... how hard can it be? And so what if it was a hoax what would it do you? Oh so you are a little annoyed that there is a wind-power station there... yeah? but it won't kill ya! Yeah, but you can get killed if they aren't there... if you rather use nuclear power...
Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with some people... whouldn't the most important thing be to care about each other? Toc are about life and health? Oh no seems like the only thing that matters to them is money... "sigh"... and in some cases I don't even understand why they work against the unavoidable development... I guess it is a fear of change... but I hate to tell you I told you so... but you will all have to adapt yourself... and humans had done that all of the time... that's just how it is... so I'm sorry to tell you that you that if you are against green electricity or eating less meat... well it is going to be much more of that stuff in the future! :D Whoopee!
