  • I mostly avoid red meat for (non-vegan reasons) but I admit the article gave me pause. Luckily it also clarifies:

    There is a growing body of evidence about the detrimental health effects of consuming too much red meat and dairy, so this study shouldn’t be taken as an excuse to eat more cheeseburgers and pizza; rather, it indicates that nutrient supplements such as TVA could be used to promote T cell activity.

    Basically just take supplement and keep avoiding the meat :P

    Meat is pretty much the most expensive protein source. You can get tofu for like 1/5 the price of meat. The other guy summed it up well (although with some sarcasm) that eating vegan is only expensive when you try to replicate the meat. Just eat tofu and you’ll be healthier and richer :)









  • Healthcare is provincially regulated here, but coverage in other countries is usually only at the rate that they would cover up here. Because of the huge discrepancies in pricing, most provinces recommend you buy travel insurance when going anywhere else.

    In Ontario for example:

    "Doctor services

    OHIP will pay whichever of the following is less:

    • the actual amount billed by doctor(s) who treated you outside Canada
    • rates listed in and paid to Ontario physicians in the Ontario Schedule of Benefits for Physicians Services

    Emergency outpatient services

    OHIP will pay whichever of the following is less:

    • up to $50 (Canadian) per day
    • the amount billed by the hospital

    Emergency inpatient services

    OHIP will pay up to:

    $400 (Canadian) per day for services provided in:

    • an operating room
    • a coronary care unit
    • an intensive care unit
    • a neonatal or pediatric special care unit

    $200 (Canadian) per day for lower levels of care"
