12. As bad as the chickens are in this country...

Apparently (according to this documentary) even in undeveloped countries; eating meat isn't good for you.

I'm like your husband, I'm not sure I can completely give up meat. However, my older brother and a former coworker completely quit eating meat and began to feel better within days (my brother claims it cured his arthritis).

If the health benefits from the documentary contain even a shred of truth; the clear way to a healthy diet and long life; is to quit eating meat. By extension the method to bring our health care costs under control and reduce CO2 emmisions (industrial farming and food transportation) is for more people to grow their own food.

I hope the idea catches on.
