i thought australia was the fattest country now

From the statistics I've seen, two thirds of Americans are considered "overweight" and half of that two thirds are considered "obese".

How can they have better sex? As far as I know, they can't swallow. I know porn star Micah Moore claims thats why she doesn't.

Blaming meat for people being fat because they gorge on fried chicken is like blaming vegetables for people being fat because they gorge on french fries. Even a large, 2-serving 8-oz steak only has 427 calories.

It's not that people eat meat, it's just that people who go veg tend to watch what they eat and moderate themselves more than others. Meat is a perfectly healthy part of a balanced diet, but obviously some meats are healthier and leaner than others, and unfortunately most people who eat meat aren't terribly careful about their diet as a whole. Also the way you prepare your food makes a big difference.

I'm an Omnivore.

Vegetarians are part of my diet.

Don't be food.

This is what I was trying to get at, apologies if I was unclear. I eat meat all the time and am perfectly fit, but that two thirds of America being overweight statistic I've heard many times and I really doubt that two thirds of vegetarians are also overweight. It doesn't mean that meat is bad for you just that most Americans gorge themselves nonstop, with meat and nonmeat products alike, but from what I've seen vegetarians don't do this. PETA is just a rather obvious statistic and skewing it to support something that is completely irrelevant. Of course nasty fat people have worse sex on average.

Using the words "studies show" in a statement should be considered a logical fallacy or something. It's almost always used to twist up statistics in some way. How often do you hear someone say "studies show" and actually be right about something?

Heck, being in PETA should be a logical fallacy.

Ad Petanem (latin for "Are you freakin serious?") - A fallacy where the person presenting the argument is, for some inexplicable reason that we'll never understand, a PETA supporter.

Studies show that Woozie is wrong.
