With numerous studies pointing to a correlation between animal consumption and a variety of diseases, including cancers, heart diseases, and the bovine disorders, many have adopted a form of vegetarianism, ranging from less meat to total consumption of plant food.

Vegetarian diets are bulkier than those containing animal products. Because they are relatively high in carbohydrates and fiber, overeating, obesity, and constipation are generally not seen in vegans, but do appear within other groups of vegetarians that include meats and dairy in their diets. Because it can take up to five days for meat to be digested, putrification is common and is the prime source of growth of undesirable bacteria, which are the forerunners to disease. A plant-based diet is eliminated from the body within a 24-hour period, thereby preventing any potential accumulation.

Studies have shown that animal protein increases blood cholesterol levels, while plant protein reduces it. It is estimated that for every 100 mg. of cholesterol consumed per 1000 calories, there is an increase of blood cholesterol of 12 mg/dl. Oxidized forms of cholesterol in meats, particularly, are more damaging to arteries than the cholesterol itself. Cholesterol can be oxidized simply by exposing the fat to high temperatures, light, storage, oxygen, and a range of such pro-oxidizing agents as additives.

Additives can hide the true nature of food. For instance, in a purchased meat pie, the following are used: polyphosphates (E450) to emulsify fat and incorporate water, 128 (Red 2G) to color the fat so that it looks like meat, a flavor enhancer 621(MSG) so that the food has an addictive chicken-like flavor and so the senses will not detect all the fat, BHA and BHT to prevent the food from changing color or going rancid, E320 and E321 also to make sure that the excessive quantities of fat do not go rancid. With further additions of salt and a little meat surrounded by a pastry of white flour and lard, a product is born, containing all of the additives and saturated fat that the government advises to eat in moderation.

Bone loss is a concern for many today. Science has difficulty in accepting the bottom line of many studies that indicate bone loss is the direct result of too much protein in the diet and not solely from a lack of calcium. The loss of calcium from the system is directly proportional to the amount of protein that is consumed. Those countries noted for their high protein consumption have the worst rate of osteoporosis in the world, while the disease is almost unheard of in the poorer nations that cannot afford meat or drink milk.

There is also a relationship between colon cancer and high protein diets. In fact, the former science advisor to the American Institute for Cancer Research gave up eating meat when the mounting evidence could no longer be ignored. T. Colin Campbell stated that there is "a strong correlation between dietary protein intake and cancers of the colon, breast, prostate, and pancreas."

"The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all the natural disasters, and all the automobile accidents combined," says Dr. Neal Barnard, President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

There's also a possible causal relationship between how many cheeseburgers I eat and a my rating of how much they taste good. Both have a very high number. The same can be said of portobello burgers and various soy / veggie burgers and how well they taste. However these numbers are very low. Another factor is how much I listen Morrissey while I eat burgers (seldom) and browse through PETA brochures and colon operation photographs while eat (very rarely).

I don't actually like Cheeseburger so much, but I must admit, the cover of this EP is very striking.

I've yet to meet a vegan who didn't have an eating disorder, or at very least an extremely neurotic relationship with food.

shookout (shookout), Monday, 26 July 2004 16:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually I'm really incredibly healthy and content with my diet.

Sonny A. (Keiko), Monday, 26 July 2004 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

(why is this on ILM still?)

omnivores who have knee-jerk hatred reactions to people who have discerning diets are the worst kind of eaters.

cutty (mcutt), Monday, 26 July 2004 17:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I like cheeseburgers, but not the band Cheeseburger.

Ian c=====8 (orion), Monday, 26 July 2004 17:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, i like the band cheesburger, but not so much cheesburgers.

veggies & vegans are tedious control freaks.

shookout (shookout), Monday, 26 July 2004 18:13 (twenty-one years ago)

WHY? i hardly know any veggie or vegan who tries to impose their eating habits on someone else. yet, meat eaters are constantly digusted by vegetarians/vegans.

please.

Tried to amend my carnivorous habits
Made it nearly seventy days
Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds
Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays
But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat
Not zucchini, fettucini or bulgar wheat
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat

Cheeseburger in paradise
Heaven on Earth with an onion slice
Not too particular, not too precise
I'm just a Cheeseburger in paradise

Heard about the old time sailor men
They eat the same thing again and again
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead
Well it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn
But times change, sailors these days
When I'm in port I get what I need
Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris
But that American creation on which I feed

Cheeseburger in Paradise
Medium rare with mustard be nice
Heaven on Earth with an onion slice
I'm just a Cheeseburger in Paradise

I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well good God almighty which way do I steer for my

Cheeseburger in Paradise
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice to get a
Cheeseburger in Paradise
I need a Cheeseburger in Paradise
I'm just a Cheeseburger in Paradise

ive had close to 40 cheeseburgers since dusted off the outdoor grill in late march. i plan on making teen-burgers and spoon-burgers soon

kephm, Monday, 26 July 2004 19:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Wave bub-bub-bub-bye to the boss
It's our profit, it's his loss
But anyway THE lunch bells ring
Take one hour and do your thanng!
Cheeesboiger!

Grilling cheeseburgers (or grilling anything, I guess) makes me feel really manly. I consume them very very frequently. I tried grilling tofu once and totally fucked it up. But, cheeseburgers.. especially with bacon and cheddar and bbq sauce and tomato and onions and lettuce. Fuck a mayonnaise.

Ian c=====8 (orion), Monday, 26 July 2004 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

ian, can you go through your taco bell meal list again?

cutty (mcutt), Monday, 26 July 2004 19:43 (twenty-one years ago)

grilled portabella = the shit

Sonny A. (Keiko), Monday, 26 July 2004 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

i am so addicted to grilling, the other night i was out there in the rain

kephm, Monday, 26 July 2004 20:09 (twenty-one years ago)

well, my usual at taco bell has changed since the introduction of the value menu. now, it tends to be: bean burrito especial, soft taco, meximelt, mexican pizza. sometimes without the mexican pizza if i am on a budget. no soda; i have two litre bottles of soda next to my computer at ALL TIMES. (and i usually get lazy and drink them warm.)

Ian c=====8 (orion), Monday, 26 July 2004 20:12 (twenty-one years ago)

introduction of the vlaue menu?? i was living off of the taco bell value menu during the clinton years

kephm, Monday, 26 July 2004 20:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I had two cheeseburgers from Checkers the other night, for the first time in about 10 years. They were really, really good. Then on Saturday, when I went to the mall to pick up my brand new 40GB iPod, I had two Nathan's hot dogs with mustard, relish & sauerkraut. And Nathan's fries, which fucking rock.

Phil Freeman (Phil Freeman), Monday, 26 July 2004 20:25 (twenty-one years ago)

there are checkers in NY? or nathans outside of NY? i am a sad, ignorant man.

joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Monday, 26 July 2004 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

the NEW REVAMPED value menu w/ 99c 1/2lb bean burrito especialsas?@?!?!? that's a new thang 'round here.

Ian c=====8 (orion), Monday, 26 July 2004 20:54 (twenty-one years ago)

veganism is just a vehicle for anorexia.

shookout (shookout), Monday, 26 July 2004 23:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Checkers RULES. there aren't any in Baltimore, but everytime I'm in D.C., man, it's on.

Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 00:09 (twenty-one years ago)

ahhh a revamped $.99 menu!

kephm, Tuesday, 27 July 2004 13:19 (twenty-one years ago)

If any of you burger-lovers are ever in Dallas, make sure you get over to the Angry Dog. Mmmm....they grate the cheese.

boldbury (boldbury), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 13:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Anything as unhealthy/fattening as a cheeseburger is practically GUARANTEED to be delicious! A cliche but a true one.

Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Tuesday, 27 July 2004 14:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks for all your input, some good arguments I must say. Although, I did answer the question very well myself at the beginning. "Because they got cheese."

Pat Hen, Tuesday, 27 July 2004 18:11 (twenty-one years ago)

six years pass...

Anyone have a good recipe for a spicy-ass cheeseburger? I'm thinking jalapenos, bacon, some type of hot sauce, the usual toppings. Not sure about what bread or cheese to use. A cb with a sizeable kick basically. Any help would be appreciated.
