No doubt, because the sight of meat made him less aggressive: http://aoc.mcgill.ca/news/channels/2010/november/1/caveman-behavioural-traits-might-kick-dinner-table-eating http://tinyurl.com/2g78btk I'm reminded by the passing of Don Patrick that he would sometimes find PETA pamphlets slipped under his office door because it was not uncommon for him to encourage his patients to eat a little chicken/fish or at least some eggs. Just as there were online comments by omnivores about the relatively young cancer deaths of vegetarians, Linda McCartney and Steve Jobs, I can just imagine what FF vegans are saying about Don Patrick dropping dead at 61. Personally, though, I think his death was probably due to his driven, type A personality... the guy was seriously intense.
