    A quick look at the study seems to indicate the years added is more like 3 years, but it takes 10 years to kick in.

    Learned a new word today: Pulses. The edible part of legumes basically. Legumes can include non edible parts.

      Oh look. Yet another list of countries with universal healthcare.

      But no, no, it’s the cheese that’s the problem.

    I’m a big proponent of enjoying life, rather than trying to extend it as much as possible. I ride a motorcycle in part because it’s cheaper on a day-to-day basis, but also it’s just more fun than being stuck in a car.

    Why would i want to live longer if it meant that I had to give up cheese?

    Yes, things that taste good are usually not good for you. But provided you maintain your physical condition otherwise, why insist on denying yourself all the enjoyment life has to offer?

      Me too, about everyone enjoying life, not just humans while others suffer in factory farms and die in gas chambers.

      I have coconut cheese that tastes just as good. That’s a false notion that plant-based food always tastes worse as there are always good and bad options.

        When I was a vegan I really believed that cashew cheese was as good as dairy cheese. I needed to believe it.

          Indeed. It’s very motivated reasoning. But I strongly, very strongly suspect that if you ran a deeply unethical blind taste test, and had vegans sample both plant-based cheeses and milk-based cheeses, even life-long vegans would end up selecting milk-based cheeses as superior based on flavor and texture.

          Can I prove it without running an unethical–and potential dangerous–blind taste test? No.

          OTOH, Impossible hamburgers are very good, and quite close to the flavor and texture of regular hamburger. They’re not quite perfect if you prefer your hamburgers medium rare, but that’s not the way most people eat a hamburger.

        I have had it.

        It is not ‘just as good’.

        I have multiple vegan cheeses.

        They’re not bad, but it’s not even close to as good as fresh Wisconsin cheese curds, or an aged Romano Pecorino.

          They’re not bad

          They really are. My comparison is trying multiple vegan restaurants/foods when my kid was allergic to dairy. I’m so happy he grew out of it and cheese is a big reason why. At least with the milk substitutes, while they don’t resemble milk they taste pretty good in their own right. Not cheese though.

          Well, that’s the great thing about plant-based milks you can make cheese out of oats, almonds and cashews.

      Yes. Whole grains have repeatedly been shown to have health benefits. Though you should obviously still avoid eating more calories than your body needs.

        or just eat less carbs and burn more calories because your acetatic acid metabolism works and be more active. then you can simply breath out the calories you dont need.

    Somehow I almost stopped eating meat over the past couple years without even trying. I used to eat it a lot but I just started to crave it less and less and now I eat it like once a week maybe. I noticed limiting carbs has a good effect on me, so I don’t eat a lot of them too. But I could not give up diary, it’s like all of my favorite food.

    Yeah but they’re the last 10 of your life, which usually means that they’re the shitty, diaper wearing, going senile, not allowed to drive anymore years. I’d rather die younger and at all at once, thanks.

      That’s is a slippery slope argument as there is no guarantee that the last 10 years of someone’s life is how you describe it.

    I was a vegetarian for environmental reasons, but now I have to start eating meat again? WTF!
