According to PETA, since 2007, Scotland has seen an 80% rise in breast reduction surgery..for men. Click on link (if you dare)..

Unwanted breast development in men illustrates that there's nothing manly about meat and milk," says Peta's director of special projects, Poorva Joshipura. "Cruelty to animals, environmental degradation and a host of meat and dairy-related diseases are reasons enough to go vegetarian, but male breast growth is a good reason too.

It's not "meat" that's the problem, it's an endocrinology issue. If you're willing to pay extra for organic meat and milk, you won't need a "mansier" later in life

Also, non-organic vegetables can be treated with pesticides that mimic estrogen in the body.

I encourage anyone who is interested in hardcore unbiased nutrition science & the dirty politics of the food, drug and medical industries to read The China Study by Dr. T. Colin Campbell. It could save your life not to mention, get rid of the moobs.

This should help drive down SP prices. If the wife doesn't let you play with her boobs anymore, you just play with your own if the SP's are too expensive.

While I do believe that increasing the amount of fruit and vegetables in the diet is definitely a good goal for health I'm not totally convinced that animal proteins are as bad as portrayed in books such as The China Study. I think that everyone needs to realize that while the meat and dairy industries do produce propoganda, so does the vegetarian movement. I would never advise making such a big decision based upon a single book, especially since the author is making money from it. It's always best to rearch both sides of the story and to look into the organizations publishing the information. For an alternative review of The China Study have a look here:

Also one thing to remember is that anecdotal evidence should be avoided. The 'I know someone who...." type of story is just a single data point and you need many to come to a conclusion.

"organic" is the biggest fraud in the world...

FWIW, Canada is much better than many other countries when it comes to allowed drug use in food animals.

Also, a big portion of the estrogenic substances we ingest comes from the plastics in which our foods are stored/ heated/ served.

Add to that personal care, household products, pharmaceuticals & pesticides which ultimately pollute the larger natural environment (ie. feminization of fish) but that's whole other ominous topic.
