I posted this in response to this story in another forum...

one word... "nitrogen", although we could also add oxygen, carbon and hydrogen as well...

There is no lack of nitrogen in the air, soil and water on this planet... we have severely disrupted the nitrogen cycle, as well as the carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen cycles...

The commercial industries feed NPNs (nonprotein nitrogens) to ruminant animals (our red meats) as it is cheap "feed", and then process these NPN laden animals/meats with more nitrogen in the form of nitrates and nitrites .

This does not account for hormone, drug and other chemical use on these animals.

nitrogen oxides are directly linked to lung cancer and its metastasis. they also exacerbate existing cancers... this is most likely a primary reason there are rising incidences of cancers in wild animals, including birds and fish on this planet; it is not because they smoke, drink, or eat a "poor" diet - well perhaps their food is degraded quite a bit from our activities like it or not. Knock, knock, did you wake up yet?

it is too obvious.

These "meats" are raised as cheaply and quickly as possible with NPN foods, in order to turn profits.

Add to that in our diets, the additional nitrogen from the chemical ripening of foods picked green for market (full of NPNs due to picking the foods green along with nitrogen based chemical usage) with additional nitrogen and a health disaster is created.

Given that the soil, and other microbes are essential in order to complete the gas cycles from inorganic to organic, or more correctly from an anaerobic condition to aerobic, and that our corporate farming practices, the burning of fossil fuels, Genetically-Modified-Organisms crops, chemical dumping, the increasing use of injection wells, paving/building over the soil/ground/microbes, etc. etc. are killing these microbes at unprecedented rates... we are essentially killing ourselves.

But then choices must be made... if we choose to live in a natural world, we would have to accept that there would be few, if any disabled, inept, or unwilling... the natural world requires hard, exhaustive work and is unforgiving of both sloth and\or weakness.

Only the strong and willing survive...

Bottom line - I agree with the article, however, not for the implied surface reasons.

The same argument applies to the articles written on the correlation with increased incidence of blindness and red meat intake.

as an addition to the above...

This is not just "crunch year" for deforestation issues...

How does this tie in? The plant life is needed to buffer our activities on this planet.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7963489.stm

We are eliminating the buffers on this planet and at some point we will cross the tipping point... then there will be no going back. Some think we have already done so... I would like to think a little more optimistically.

It is too bad that government and Science both seem to operate in crisis mode all of the time and all for greed and power. This could have been prevented - the knowledge and technology exists to enable a more harmonious existence with our environment, however it means sharing of information and the empowerment of individuals to be self sufficient.

EVERYTHING works together, or divided we fall - man has chose to "fight" against nature and rip it apart, and IS now paying the price with increasing disease and illness among many other things, such as unprecedented extinctions.

It is all crumbling around us... the alarm bells have been rung loudly, however the PTB are deaf, dumb and blind to anything but maintaining the corrupt status quo.

grz-

I wrote this to hopefully illustrate that all things are tied together... Our health, the health of all life, depends upon the health of the planet, and the planet is sick.

I am not passing blame either though... we have all been raised with modern conveniences which we enjoy that contribute to the mess... like this computer I am working on. Who is responsible? We only need to point the finger at ourselves.

One way to stop the madness is to practice what we preach... eliminating chemical usage, including the chemicals in foods (this would mean the above referenced meat too), in our own lives is a huge step... riding bikes, walking whenever possible, perhaps taking public transit, owning a car (if you have to) for decades as apposed to buying a new one every few years (in other words reduce consumption of all things), etc.... opening windows and limiting our use of electricity, etc.
