Antibiotic Resistant Staph Infections
LinuxGeek8 writes "There's a news update on a previous article about the first case of antibiotic resistant staph infections. The woman who has the infection is being kept up to 6 months in an isolation room. She is taking an antibiotic that is working, after many others did not.
"In the scheme of public health threats, this has to rank close to the top," David Ropeik, director of risk communication at the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis, said of antibiotic resistance."
...and that's good enough for ME!
The problem with a strictly vegetarian diet is that the protein obtained from plant sources are not complete proteins (they lack certain amino acids which your body needs). While it's possible to mix and match your food obtained from plant sources to achieve a more complete amino acid profile, it is way more easier to obtain the majority of your protein from animal sources. Failure to do so will result in a protein deficiency.
However, your average dumbass vegetarian do not know this. They say they don't eat animal products because "it's healthier", yet they'll eat a bag of potato chips and wash it down with a pepsi. Healthy my ass. A vegetarian diet is NOT necessarily healthier. Most of the vegetarians I've met don't have the faintest clue regarding proper nutrition which would explain why they usually look pastey, thin, and generally unhealthy.
