You know what diet I find works well with me?
Water, orange juice, oats, protein paste, multivitamins.
Less is more.
Sometimes I pig out but then I feel gross when doing that.

What's your point? I'm trying to show you that BSEs/TSEs can have an incubation period of up to 50 years.

Who said anything about feelings, you have failed in about every possible way to articulate an argument...
You have insulted pretty much everyone in the thread with a differing view point... and tried to use shock to change people.
If I were grading this as a persuasive argument, this would be an F... I didn't see much of anything to talk up the benefits, you ignored my point that some people process the nutrients out of meat more efficiently... Just fear, smug attitude and shock seem to be all that you have in your quiver.
Hence my opinion you are just here to stroke your own ego, by telling yourself over and over how superior you are...
So cheers enjoy yourself.

Not at all: I don't like the taste of rat.
Squirrel now, now there is a tasty treat! My son loves to squirrel hunt.
Mostly what I get from your thread is: Draconian laws of a nanny state are a good thing.
Many here, including me, disagree with that assessment. One of the most scary things to ever hear is "We're from the government and we're here to help."
Governments want to give me guidelines, I've no issues with that.
Government wants to tell me what I can or can not eat, or what I can or can not drink, they can go to hell.
Banning all meat for consumption is a pipe dream for meat haters in any case. It'll never happen. Too much demand and profit to be made.
Also, as mentioned before: meat consumption is a important niche in the environment. First has been the domestication of many animals. If you think all those cows are going to turn into some sort of wild cow that can fend for itself, you'll be sadly mistaken (maybe I should have said "misteaken"). There are some animals that have their wild counter parts (turkey and geese.....and wild turkey is another thing we hunt here, mmmm mmm! good eating), some pigs have shown to easily go back to wild boar status, however, many other meat animals will not.
Banning the consumption of meat would mean the end of hunting. For several animals that are hunted for their meat, like White Tail Deer where where I live, conservation is practiced (IE to keep them from being hunted to extinction). However, with no hunters, and leave no doubt, they've been hunted for literally TENS of THOUSANDS of years, their populations would grow....and grow.....and grow....with no where near the amount of food they would need to sustain their populations. So they end up starving and dying off.
Humans have been eating meat for around 2.5 million years now. Of course we were not like the humans of today, but it has been going on for a very long time.
If evolution decides humans will not eat meat anymore, then something will happen that will change it. I doubt very much it will be politicians and activists though.
Could be climate change. Could be a pandemic, could be a plethora of things. But I highly doubt it will because of someone with some paper and a pen.

Mad cow disease may have 30 year incubation period
www.mercola.com...
The findings of the inquiry into a cluster of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) cases -- the human version of mad cow disease -- suggest the fatal disease has an average incubation period of 30 years and may claim thousands or tens of thousands more victims.
The inquiry report into five deaths in the English village of Queniborough, Leicestershire, blamed specific butchering methods for contamination of meat with bovine brain and estimated an incubation period of the disease between 10 and 16 years.
But Professor John Collinge, a member of the Spongiform Encephalopathy Advisory Committee (SEAC), which advises the government on mad cow disease or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), told BBC Radio: "For me the main finding from this report is that the significant exposure appears to pre-date 1985. - Mercola

I'll say it again. Pick up a chemistry and biology book.

Only in animals that are infected with BSE.
It's also no where near 50 years.
2-8 years in cattle.
1.5-6 years in humans.

Kuru has an incubation period up to 50 years.
The consensus is that mad cow disease has an incubation period from 2.5 - 5 years. Some sources are saying up to 30 years.

Ah, Mercola. The idiot who believes Simoncini that PH cures cancer lol.
You know that Simoncini is no longer a doctor and has been convicted of MURDERING someone when "treating" them?

Yep!
Just like how Yellow Fever, Typhoid and Cholera can nail you from: Drinking water.
That's part of my point. Life is full of dangers from bacteria and virus just waiting out there.
The human body can normally fight off TB (Tuberculosis) naturally. However, if you're immune system is low, normally because of malnutrition, someone who is already infected with it can infect you simply by sneezing or coughing in your area by you in the say, the store.
And it can stay inactive in your body for a long time, until something triggers it, like getting the flu.
Life is dangerous. A person can either be afraid of life.....or enjoy it.
I try to enjoy it.

National Frozen Foods Corp. Green Peas and Mixed Vegetables
This makes one thing perfectly clear: Vegetables are more dangerous to the human race than animal meat. We need to ban the consumption of vegetables IMMEDIATELY for the well-being of the entire human race. Everyone needs to to become accustomed to eating meat, and nothing but meat, every day for the rest of their lives. This is the only way to ensure a safe and healthy mankind.
I'm sorry, vegetarians. But you're way of life is simply unfeasible.
