AR-News: (AU)Peter Lalor: Hitler was a herbivore and look how cranky it made him

[Animalconcerns]

[opinion from The Australian]

I'VE never met a vegetarian I liked. Believe me, I've met my share and
have more than an intimate knowledge of the subject having closely
researched it for the best part of 15 years.

The mung bean mafia are generally prone to flatulence, have poor personal
hygiene, make terrible dinner companions and share a gastronomic gene pool
with those disposed toward mass murder and violence. And quite possibly fat.

Case study one: Adolf Hitler was a herbivore. The Dalai Lama is not.

Case study two: Russell Crowe's past crankiness and weight problems can be
blamed on a vegetarian diet and method acting. Had he stuck to the fruit
of the cow/sheep/pig/chicken or whatever-it-is-they-put-in-pies/sausage
rolls* he could be as slim as a super model.

It's true. An Austrian anthropologist studied the skeletons of 70
gladiators and discovered the mighty Roman warriors – men you'd expect to
use their jaws to tear strips of raw meat from thick animal bones – were,
well, vegetarians. 
...
In fact, I've wasted 15 years on tofu and beans and now I want to bite the
cow again. I want to gnaw a sheep, get some pig on the palate, chew a
chicken. But the pernicious vegetarian diet is hard to shake. There is no
Vegetables Anonymous, no "sponsor" I can ring when I get the urge to pass
on a sausage or a four'n'twenty.
