Why Do You Think A Lack Of Meat Upsets People So Much?

yes but those meat meals provided nutrients not available via other practical means. do you think cavemen could go to the supermarket and get "superfoods" that would provide the proteins needed.

again, your argument is with science, not me and frankly, you are wrong.
logistics...
because the nutrient value of a pound of meat far exceeds that of a pound of plant matter.
with the large population we have, veggies simply would not be enough.
how many pounds of veg do you need to consume in order to gain the same nutritional value as meat?

 

There is noting in an animal you can not find in a plant. Like I said very little of the diet came from meat until thousand of years past the evolution of the human mind. We chose to eat meat because it tastes good but we don't need meat. Evolution will find a way to live so yes we have the teeth to eat anything. But that is not "science" of us needing meat. We also have an appendix which serves no purpose and some humans are born with tails. Evolution is funny and slow.

 

*sigh*
all I have to say is YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.

 

Maybe if you post this enough it will become true.

 

I Would Love To Kick The Hornets Nest Here........ But Commonsense Says.....GLEN DON'T......

Let me ask why you seem to get so butthurt over people consuming meat and why you try to pass off bullshit opinion as trumping scientific fact.
If that is the diet/lifestyle you choose, fine, just don't think you are going to get away with the lame reasoning you have provided.
education is a wonderful thing, it puts to rest opinion and bullshit.

 

I guess I should have expected posts like this. People will believe what they want. I'm not trying to put your life down. I ate meat for a long time too and obviously I would not have done it if it tasted like shit. I just hope some day more people will see the truth.

 

well lets try an experiment;
YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.
YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.
YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.
YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.
YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.
YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.
YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.
YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.
YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.
YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.
YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.
YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.
YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.
YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.
YOU ARE VERY WRONG, GO EDUCATE YOURSELF.

hmm, well it is still true, so........

 

Well because all you have done is say "sigh educate yourself" without any proof. Mine is there if you wish to believe the evolution you claim happened when it did you are welcome to. But are the one who is not being accurate. I'm not upset you can live your life as you want. You are the one in a vegetarian forum.

 

I believe what is commonly excepted as scientific fact
and what truth would that be?

 

The truth that is you want to claim meat has some place in evolution there is simply not enough time for significant changes to occur in the human mind.

 

No, I cannot be hypocritical. I have to cook meat for my dogs.....and some for the cats, and on rare occassion, I will eat meat, also....
and no, I don't think I am better than people who do....but I don't think I am better than any animal, either.....
What makes me sick are these people who pose with their kill with big, obnoxious smiles...poor animal limply dangling off of them, for photographs.....with no respect or feeling for the animal.....and the big game killers who just kill things for the fun of it for their trophies...No, i cannot stand these kinds of people......but I don't start fights with people like this most times...as most times, i will walk away in sadness, is all.....in real life....I do voice myself on the internet quite a bit about this, though......Someone has to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves sometimes.
I am sad about it...more than angry ever.....
I have never killed anything...other than a tick or fly or mosquito.......and I don't even kill flies anymore.....I just cannot kill things, so I do not understand people who can....and if no one else did....I guess i would never eat it.....

 

Anakin--yes! You hit the nail on the head in the OP. I rarely talk about being vegetarian, but when people find out, most of them immediately jump on the defensive, or give some reason why they would like to be plant-based, but they never could because blah blah blah. I get a lot of ridiculous hypothetical questions, too. I don't think people like to be questioned or to think critically about things they enjoy and have always assumed were right. It makes people very uncomfortable and so they try to turn the problem on to you. I rarely engage with these people any more, I just give them some generic "let's talk about something else" answer and move on.

 

I Think The Truth Is Perfectly Clear...... Eat A Balanced Diet And Without "Vege-Heads" The World Will

Have A Lot Less Weirdo's To Cope With...............DAMN......I Promised Myself I Wouldn't "Stir The Pot"

And Look What Just Happened.......



Cheers Glen.

while I can appreciate the sentiment, I call bullshit .
go a few Weeks without food and you WILL kill another critter and eat it, guaranteed.

 

but that is a piss poor attack on me, as most people are not in that situation, so I call bull shit on that reasoning....or justification for the killing that they do do.

 

there an equal number of links that say the opposite of those. funny enough right next to some of those on google.

 

I just need one I think to prove that.
