“I was twelve years old before I ever heard the word “vegetarian,” and when I did, I didn’t like it
much. I grew up in a remote farming community of the British Isles, where there was no sewage
system or electricity, and the water had to be pumped by hand from the well. I pretty much
believed myself to be an isolate oddity of nature because I hadn’t eaten meat since the age of
two, and my parents firmly believed I was gouging to die, for the same reason. Many endless
hours were spent sitting anxiously in the doctor’s office.”
The main nutritional conclusion from this study is the finding that the greater the consumption of
a variety of good-quality, plant-based foods, the lower the risk of those diseases commonly
found in Western countries (e.g., cancers, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes). Based on these and
other data, the scientists behind the study predict that the majority of all such Western diseases
could be prevented until we were about age ninety years old if we were prepared to cut out meat
and basically go vegetarian.
For years you've come to this beach and combed the shoreline ruminating all the while about
washed-up treasures and pots of gold. Yet after all this time you've found nothing more than
measly pocket change and car keys lost by clumsy tourists.
Suddenly, a rapid series of clicks burst through your headset! "Could this be it?" you wonder.
"The treasure I've been searching for!" You reach for your shovel.
But as you prepare to dig you realize there is something unusual about the rapidity of these
pulses. Looking at your gauges, a red warning light blinks.
Do you disregard the warning and dig the object up or continue searching the beach?
