Depends on the meat. If a bunch of humans got eaten that would have a positive effect on the environment I dare say.
LOL
Reminds me of Billy Connolly's plan to stop starvation and overpopulation. Everyone gets to eat one person they don't like haha

Doesn't seem to be the case in Africa.

March for Science, a guaranteed republicon free event.
If there's anything about genetics or evolution, Democrats will be absent as well.
Significantly fewer Republicans believe in evolution than did so four years ago, setting them apart from Democrats and independents.

I think Cancer deaths are increasing as a result of improved diagnosis. Cancer has been killing people since the start of human race.
you'll basically either die of Cancer or Heart Disease.

What's really amazing is that most cancer would never occur with a better standard of living and better diet and exercise.
I actually think this is semi-false. I believe diet has a large roll in cancers but exercise and standard of living would only have minimum affects. Take a look at Andy Whitfield, a man in his prime with diet and exercise and struck down with Lymphoma.
First the death of Andy is a single, anecdotal piece of evidence.
Second, the statistical evidence is pretty strong actually. https://www.google.com/">Exercise can prevent some kinds of cancers in the 25-30% range, hardly a "minimum effect."

And here's how they caught them:“When a lot of the fake peer reviews first came up, one of the reasons the editors spotted them was that the reviewers responded on time,” Wager told Ars. Reviewers almost always have to be chased, so “this was the red flag. And in a few cases, both the reviews would pop up within a few minutes of each other.”
Hilarious.
Reminds me of a major drug bust in Quebec a few years ago when the cops got lucky on a random traffic stop. The reason they pulled the driver over in the first place?
They were going the speed limit and using their turn signals, which seemed suspicious for a driver with Quebec plates on Quebec roads.
Not even half joking, that's the line they gave to the press.

Skeptic magazine did a full edition on the War on Cancer a year or two back. They found there was a lot of this. A lot of waste. A lot of deceit. And very little actual progress overall in spite of the hundreds of billions of dollars that's been poured into since the 1950s. A few of the less aggressive forms have seen some big gains but on the whole it was something like only a 17& reduction since the 50s. That's pretty mind-boggling given how much money is involved in that industry - and make no mistake it is that. What's really amazing is that most cancer would never occur with a better standard of living and better diet and exercise.
