Praise Thor & Pass The Lutefisk!

Things I learned this week from recent health news:

• eating meat makes you die more if you're American
  
• eating meat makes you die the same if you're British (although apparently the key to longevity for Brits is to be involved in an Oxford study)
• eating meat makes you die less if you're Scandinavian (and a good-natured Nordic "fuck you!" to those damn Mediterraneans!)

For true comedy, check out the US popular press coverage of that first study. If there's one thing even more entertaining than observational studies, it's the reporting on them.
