everyone is entitled to an opinion .. AJ has not (IMO) tried to be a vege-nazi about this .. simply stating that SHE ( personally) finds it distasteful..

thank you guys. At least someone sees my point in all this...

[SARGE]

thank you guys. At least someone sees my point in all this...

points have nothing to do with it AJ... my niece was a vegetarian and harmed herself by not getting the night nutrients ( protein etc) ..you seem to be educated about the nutritional side of it so i wont preach

[canarlee]

thank you guys. At least someone sees my point in all this...

hang on there, i never said i agreed with you!

i agreed with what sarge had posted!


i am not saying you are wrong either

[Indiana_Jones]

I don't think she meant you agreed about the vege thing.

-Indy

[Curious_AJ]

no, i didnt mean that he agreed, this is true Indy.

and yeah, i don't know a better way to put it, other than point Sarge... and yeah, I've done my research... and sorry to hear about your niece, it's just so hard to get info on the right way to eat sometimes though... it's sad... there need to be way more resources available for people who do choose the lifestyle.

i beg to diffr sels ..
look at any herbivore's teeth .. they are flat, meant to grind vegetable matter... then compare to a carnivore's teeth.. sharp and meant to rend flesh... humans have both types ( incisors,, molars canine) and are designed to eat all manners of food

diffr away mate, I'm going to. I just checked my canines, and they dont look anything like my cats.

If you, naked and unaided, chase down a large mammal, kill it with your bare hands, and eat it raw there on the spot, you may have a better chance of convincing me its a natural thing.

Consider this:
Unlike most mammals, we have stereo colour vision...to see highly coloured food. We like sweet tastes and nice smells. We dont have claws, we have hands with opposable thumbs - for picking and grasping. Our tooth structure and digestive tract (3 times longer and quite diffrent to a carnavore) is most suited to eating......FRUIT!(And yes fruit supplies minimal but sufficient protien,fatty acids etc,carbs, vits and minerals - the only food group that does) Like the primates we are supposed to have evolved from, with who we share 90something % of DNA, and who are in most cases vegetarian. Even the plants that provide fruit, do so to get their seeds spread around (complete with manure!) THAT is true nature. Garden of Eden stuff. Sure humans can survive on many other foods (and smoke and take drugs etc) but fruit is the most natural food going. Hows That?

um ... dude .. its ME remember?.. wouldnt be out of character

[tomtyer-drake]

just reading through this whole thing is a bit of an education. but I'd like to think i know a fair bit about food and nutrition (although i dont really practice what i preach - damn lazy)

anyway its pretty simple isnt it... you need blah vitamins and minerals, and you can get them in many ways. some things require more, some things require less. but in the end of the day, a vegetarian diet can provide someoenes daily food requirements.

Vegetarians are usually more healthy than average mainly because of the other health concious decisions that they make, far less vego's smoke and drink etc.

The only point i think people forget about during these arguements, is that if we hadnt protected the sheep from the wolves back in the day, they wouldnt all be here, and we wouldnt be eating them.
- now i know this doesnt make complete sence and someone is going to make a point of "should your mum be able to kill you then? coz she raised you"

but if we think of it in a completely objective way, we are farming these animals for food - just like veges.
