Quote from dotslashfuture:
"Diet research..
I did a lot of informal research on diet. Anthropologists have never found a place on Earth where you can get all the nutrients you want without eating meat. End of discussion for me. I work with a Vegan guy, 112 pounds, looks like shit, unhealthy after 25 years on that diet. I think Veganism is more of a mental disorder than a diet choice and all the big and healthy Vegans have been on the diet for under a year probably."
This is absolutely true.
Also, we spent the majority of our evolutionary years as HUNTER GATHERERS. This means that we ate anything we could get, including animals. The paleolithic human got 50% of of its calories from animals.
relatively speaking, the amount of time humans have spent in agricuturally supported societies is a drop in the bucket, and there is evidence that we havent' fully adapted to this condition yet. Our high carb , high sugar diets are what is killing us, not the meat.
as for the ethics of meat, if you believe humans are animals, well animals eat meat, and humans that eat small amounts of meat are better off because of it.
these arguments are specious! not to mention.. TOTAL BS!
are you a hunter/gatherer wanna be? then prepare to die at about 30 like they did :-/
name ONE thing in meat you cant get from a plant source? ONE!
with meat you get high fat, and high fat is PROVEN to cause PREMATURE DEATH! so go ahead and eat those burgers you fools! have a pound of bacon and a dozen eggs while your at it! then wave bye bye to me and kiss your sorry a$$ gdbye!! :-/
