Is eating plants only really better than eating meat only?

As it says in the Bible that it weren't meant for us in the first place to eat animals, but since we lives in a sinful society that robs us from our daily supply of nutrients, that we need to eat a meal that will sustain us for the whole day or week. If we all ate organic fruits, veggies, and grains foods, that our body's will metabolizes the foods very quickly, and will be eliminated quickly from the body as well. We will have to be like cows, grazing in the fields all day just to keep the foods to sustain us for the rest of the night. But no one cannot afford to graze like cattle, they will need something more heavier that will last them for a longer period so that we can last through the day at work.

As I just posted, those living the longest only occasionally eat meat (only a few times a month from the author said in an interview) and have a moderate calorie intake, implying they aren't like cows grazing all day, especially since constant moderate physical activity is an "inseparable part of life." And there is no eating enough to sustain yourself for a week. That will only make you sick and give you stomach ache, it will be over-eating, and it won't prevent you from being hungry tomorrow.

But do those people works a hard long day? If you do not work, and then you should not eat. you only eat a lot that if you doing a lot of manual labor jobs.

I know that we are suppose to eat meats on certain feast days as it is written in the scriptures.That the people of biblical times had only were living off of bread and beans and the fruits and veggies, and they had ate once a day, after bringing home the bacon. But on the feast days, that they cut open the fattened calf. We are just gluttonous people that loves to eat, and believe that is the only thing that we loves to do. But since we are under grace, that God look over the things that we do because we are so weak to temptations.

Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 was a chartered flight carrying 45 people, including a rugby union team, their friends, family and associates, that crashed in the Andes on 13 October 1972, in an incident known as the Andes flight disaster and, in the Hispanic world and South America, as the Miracle in the Andes (El Milagro de los Andes). More than a quarter of the passengers died in the crash and several others quickly succumbed to cold and injury. Of the 27 who were alive a few days after the accident, another eight were killed by an avalanche that swept over their shelter in the wreckage. The last 16 survivors were rescued on 23 December 1972, more than two months after the crash.

The survivors had little food and no source of heat in the harsh conditions at over 3,600 metres (11,800 ft) altitude. Faced with starvation and radio news reports that the search for them had been abandoned, the survivors fed on the dead passengers who had been preserved in the snow. Rescuers did not learn of the survivors until 72 days after the crash when passengersNando Parrado and Roberto Canessa, after a 10-day trek across the Andes, found Chilean arriero Sergio Catalán,[1] who gave them food and then alerted the authorities to the existence of the other survivors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972_Andes_flight_disaster

Philippians 3:18-20 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

I do believe Okinawa was one of the cultures mentioned. Perhaps 7th Day Adventists were also mentioned, but there was at least one or two religious communities that were also mentioned.

Thank you.

I can assure you, it isn't anecdotal, but something I came across some time ago, not too long ago to remember the general idea (getting up and moving around and doing something about every 20 minutes was another commonly noted feature, often times some sort of gardening), but long enough to remember the specifics. It's one of those I'd like to say I could just go and type a few things in Google and bring up, but I'm going to have to do some digging and searching for it (as I don't even remember the authors name or title of the book).

I was not referring to the pro-vegetarian cultures that live the longest, but your particular remark that the oldest living woman in the world eats bacon and eggs for breakfast or whatever. Many people who smoke and drink regularly also make it to 100 years. That does not make those habits healthy.

Ok. Yeah, it's not "solid evidence," but I offered more as a suggestion that there is more to it going on than diet alone. In her case, I have no doubts her doing volunteer work into her 100s is probably a significant contributor to her longevity. Personally, I don't know if I'd want to live that long. The changes I've witnessed in just 29 years are astounding, but we barely even had cars being drove around when she was born. Not only is she older than cell phones, she's older than land lines. But she has apparently adapted well to this new world, because the one she was born into died way before she did (But, then again, so has mine, and many more).

Well it does says in the laws that a person must work for six days and then rest on the seventh cycle; and so she has done volunteer work that help keep the body to work in harmony by keeping the flow of things flowing instead of settling in one spot, decaying away.

There is a video game called Overlord. At some point, massacring sheep is a critical important point of the game. The keeps referring to the sheepies as single cell brains. But they are still jerks. The rams attack me even if I just pass by doing nothing.

In my home town, there was a male goat which used to roam outside the city gate. We passed by it daily and were always afraid that it will attack us. It was huge and all-black with shiny hair. We lived in a brahmin locality and the goat was, therefore, safe. I think he lived long and fathered many. They are dangerous. Best to put them on the dining table.
