My cousin is a vegan and runs several marathons a year, hikes and bikes, does that cross-fit business, and could probably kick any of our asses in half a minute without even breaking a sweat. Not only that, she is very cute and smart! I don't think she has any particular ideological issue,

Is it just me or is it strange that we have morphed this subject line from deadly cars to vegans? I know it was my fault as I posted about big Jim who was in an accident but jeepers, one would think the subject line would have changed somewhere along the way. RB On 27/02/2015 8:16 AM, Rich

In spite of the conventional wisdom, it is entirely possible to be too thin, and many fad diets are lacking in nutrients. Humans have been omnivores for millions of years, vegan diets are very likely to be lacking in things like vitamin B12, which is only found in a couple plant sources

I also knew a fellow who apparently survived being ejected but was then run over by at least one other car and killed. He was a bartender at the hotel out at the lake. The hotel closes for the winter and for weeks he was going on about how, as soon as they closed, he was heading for Florida.
