American Dietetic Association study is where I got lifespan information.
The American Dietetic Association, with some 77,000 registered nutritionists throughout North America, put out a statement saying that "appropriately planned vegan diets (containing no animal products) are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and are associated with a reduced risk for obesity, coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and kidney disease. Vegetarians have a 7 year longer life expectancy than non vegetarians."
As for the retarded people that might be down the line for my heirs I would be interested in seeing your source for that information.
Ah, snug lie those who slumber
Beneath convictions roof-
Their doors are heavy lumbers
Their windows waterproof.
But I sleep cold forever
And cold sleep all my kind
For I was born to shiver
In the draft of an open mind.
