Expanding this disgustion, although I am not a Christian, I think I remember reading in Genesis that Cain killed Abel. Wasn't Abel the meat eater?
Does being a vegetarian make you a better chess player?

The premis of the documentary was based on a lawsuit that was going on at that time.
The lawsuit was made by the mother of an overweight girl who claimed her daughter had health problems because of eating at McDonalds regularalry and that McDonalds had been neglagent in not advising its customers that eating too much could lead to health issues.
The guy in the docu uped the stakes and decided to eat every meal, every day from McDonalds.
He went way overboard. And, in the end, he only proved that if you eat every meal every day at McDonalds, it could endanger your health. Nothing from the documentary suggested that eating McDonalds regularly would, alone, lead to serious health problems.
It might be noted that there was a guy in the documentary who had been eating 2 or 3 Big Macks EVERY DAY since he was a teenager. He was not overweight and claimed not to have any serious health problems.

Uh! Oh! Wrong way. Do you want this thread locked? (and Abel was Jehova's favorite, btw... it's the secular fight between farmers and shepherds).

The story of Cain and Abel are about the change of humans from meat eating hunger/gathers to grain eating stationary humans.
This change in human lifestyle has lead to the f-ed up world we live in today.
SO, it would appear, the wrong brother did the killing.

To be honest, that's what I've felt when watching it as well.
Not trying to offend americans, but I was screaming at the screen at some scenes about how clueless most of them seemed.
This is a worldwide problem, not just an AMerican problem. It was like this 10 years ago when the movie was realeased.
Didn't the Chess Champion Alexander Alekhine died from choking on a piece of meat ?

I bet stockfish is carnivorous. ;)
I was wondering if diet is an important factor in learning/studying chess. Who generally plays better: a vegan, a vegetarian, an omnivore, or a carnivorous human. Any thoughts?

And the shepards evolved into the meat industry.
No religious talking please.
Does this mean we should not eat animals anymore because of ****. Not fair.

If animals weren't meant to be eaten, the wouldn't taste so good. 
Anyway, chess or no chess, a low or no meat diet is going to be all around better for you.
I tried making shepards pie once. But the stupid shepard kept getting out of the pan.
@kleelof: agree, it's like certains comments here about heavy smokers bringing lawsuits against tobacco companies and demanding them millionaire compensations: "Americans are crazy". Well, is not so easy, since is proved those companies did everything they could to deny the nocive effects of tobacco for many years.
