A health-advising, radio talk hostess broadcasting in St. George declared that vegetarians don't live as long as meat eaters, and God put sub-human creatures here for us to munch on. Listeners to talk radio have learned to stay calm when they hear falacious statements, so we didn't cuss or scream. We only winced.
Every study ever made supports the widely held belief that vegetarians outlive tbe beaf eaters. Also, they are healthier with much lower rates of cancer, heart disease and kidney failure.
As for Our Creator putting animals in the world to sustain us, we ask: "Does that include gorillas, scorpions, roaches, crocodiles, lizards, and mice?" Which Bible passage has a menu? Joseph Smith and Brigham Young had reservations (not in steak houses) about any kind of meat. The Word of Wisdom suggestion to eat meat "sparingly" is less popular than the warnings against wine, tobacco and hot drinks.
Dine on fruits, vegetables, grains, herbs, and nuts.
It's all so simple.
