I highly doubt our country will collapse due to a low birth rate. You have to take into account other ways of bolstering a population, including immigration. If you can't make your own population, you attract populations, haha @leo and @lamby, so regarding how we measure cholesterol and the amount healthy for you, there's actually 5 types of cholesterol but we measure cholesterol in 3 categories, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL which stands for high-density lipids and low-density lipids. You want the HDL numbers to be high and the LDL numbers low. ADA/ACC Guidelines state that total cholesterol is considered normal under 200 mg/dl, LDL should be under 100 mg/dl and HDL should be higher than 40 mg/dl, at least from what I read last year but ADA updated their guidelines this year and I haven't had time to read it yet. Any numbers outside those ranges increase the risk of heart disease. Also, veganism from a health standpoint is fine but vegans definitely need to be aware that they need to be more cautious regarding their nutritional supplement and eat fortified foods. People who follow strict vegan diets are a risk factor for B12 deficiency since that is only found naturally in animal products or in fortified grains/plant-based milks. No B12 leads to pernicious anemia which can lead to very bad neurological and psychiatrical outcomes.

Just gonna throw another topic into the mix; What are the arguments for and against the "If you dress a certain way you're asking for it" debate it mostly concerns females who dress a certain way and men judging them for it, or going further than that. I just want a civil debate on this topic because I can't make my mind up about it. I ofcourse know that women have the right to dress any way they want to, but.. I don't know, I don't know all the arguments and I'd like to hear them :P even if you are against or in favor of the point of view you can still name arguments from both sides!
