Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?

Let us go through this. You want clarity? The only way I know how to do this is to go through each point (ad nauseum)

So, shall we start with your geographical location? Canada, wasn't it? So how long is your growing season in Canada?
I'm not in Canada, but that's probably simpler for the sake of argument. I have no idea how long the growing season is in Canada. As far as I know, wheat, which I'm assuming is the biggest calorie provider among plant crops, is a single-season crop.

Stop trying to reinvent the toothbrush. The world is a wonderful place....and THEN you add people. Like you.
The world may be wonderful. But the majority of people I know who have stated an opinion think it is getting quickly worse, rather than staying the same or improving.

As for assumptions-- I don't think I'm making any assumptions, except those intrinsic to your position. Feel free to specifiy if I've said something off-base.

Now let us hear the official version from you. Smile

That is funny.
One minute ago you make a clear distinction between atheism and science, now you kneel in front of the altar of science. Smile
Dude, sometimes I think you are trolling, because the level of fail in your posts could only be achieved by deliberate attempt.

Do you really not understand the relationship between atheism and science? Science is about observable reality, and atheism, for the most part, is about a disbelief in entities that cannot be observed by anyone. The more science shows how things DO work, the less people turn to mythology to explain how things work.

Intrinsic to my position? Just for clarity, just what do you think my position is bennyboy?

Now, for what you have implied you are in North America/ Canada? Is this correct? And your country grows wheat? What else does it grow?

As far as I understand, here in Oz we have something like two growing seasons and yes wheat is a yearly crop here, along with many other grain crops (large scale). We are also only 22-23 million in population so most of our produce gets exported.

Your position is that meat production and consumption is okay or necessary. Intrinsic to this position are attitudes about the justification of suffering in others. All meat-eaters must necessarily accept that in order to sustain themselves, they must cause suffering and death in others. I assume, since you are a willing participant in the meat production/consumption cycle, that you accept whatever evils that process involves-- environmentally and health-wise as well as in terms of suffering-- even if you have not specifically stated so. Since in Australia, meat-production is also a big business, I'd also hazard a guess that you are willing to accept environmental corruption and animal suffering as part of the exchange of goods-- money for housing, electronic goods, etc. At this point, the word "necessity" starts to lose the ring of truth.

I live in Korea, but I am Canadian. Canada is similarly situated to Australia, I believe: large countries with low populations and good farmlands, but quite a lot of non-arable land: tundra in Canada, and dry regions in Australia.

Does it means that what they teach is 100% true?
If science would be 100% true then the teachers and the doctors wouldn't tell the people that meat is necessary to us humans and therefore the hospitals wouldn't be full of people with cardiovascular diseases so my suggestion to you is not to take what they teach you for granted except if you need to pass the tests.

If we would have enough hydrochloric acid like the creatures able to deal with meat then the saturated fats and cholesterol coming from meat eating would be dissolved instead of choking our arteries.

Unless you can prove that meat is the main contributor to cardiovascular diseases, shut the hell up about it.

Prove it. Prove what you just said. Oh wait, yet again, you can't. The sad thing is you haven't been able to link us to ONE peer reviewed article or even one scientist that agrees with you, and yet for some reason you still think you are right.

You got it wrong boy.
1) Science is NOT about......observable reality.
Reality is something fix and never changing so it is impossible for physical science working in a universe always moving and changing to get hold of reality.
All physical science can do is to observe this ever changing universe and try to make a bit of sense of it.
To get hold of the real reality you got to use a different type of science but this is something in the future for people like you stuck in this physical reality.
2) Your idea that entities can not be observed by anyone is bankrupt.
How can physical science get hold of something which is not physical? Thinking

Before i worry what other people say i take into account what i see with my own eyes in my work environment and i follow math as well.
When 99% of people with cardiovascular diseases are meat eater then a bell ring in my head.
And when i know that their arteries are choked with saturated fats and cholesterol then an other bell ring in my head.
And when i know that this shit can not come other then meat then one more bell ring in my head so why should i go looking for peer review when i already know the very cause of the problem? Wink Shades

Its like you can't even read. Twice now I have explained this to you. Shall we go for 3? OK. Vegetarians are much much much less common than meat eaters. Of course you are going to see more meat eaters with cardiovascular diseases, because there are more meat eaters, period. Why is this concept so difficult for you to grasp? I also highly doubt that 99% of people you saw with cardiovascular problems were meat eaters. And didn't you work in a psych ward last time we asked? Apparently?

Yes, I'm sure you scraped their arteries and tested the samples yourself. No?

No you don't know. You think you know, but you don't know. That is why peer review exists, to confirm, to add up the evidence, to evaluate the method and results. Have you ever considered any extraneous variables that could affect cardiovascular disease, such as: age, diet, % of body fat, ethnicity. I'm guessing you haven't. Correlation does not imply causation. You can't go making these grand conclusions from some (poorly collected, inaccurate) data

No we cannot, I have already explained why but you seem to just phase out whenever evolution is involved. The reason we cannot kill prey with our canine teeth is because we didn't evolve to. As the lions main weapon was its jaws and teeth, ours was our opposable thumbs and hands.


Gee, i knew that you were stupid but at every turn you reach a new low.
Forget about God and concentrate only about mother nature.
She never ever put anyone in the position not to deal with the problem of life.
If we really need to kill and eat animals then we would be equipped with whatever it is needed.
The fact that we are not equipped with this it is a clear sign that we are not omnivore.
In the far past before omindis invented the tools to kill the prey how could they kill animals?
Do you really think that they could kill prey with their thumbs?
Get real boy.

Quote:Yes we can swallow meat without chewing it. It might be more difficult and we won't get as much nutrients out of it but it is possible. I don't know where you got the idea that omnivores and carnivores don't chew their food. Sure snakes swallow their prey whole and many toothed whales and dolphins only use their teeth to grip onto their prey. But carnivores such as lions have specialised molars designed to slice meat up into digestible portions. They chew their food.


One more new low boy that show how ignorant you are.
When we masticate we get alkaline saliva which help to predigest the food with his ptyalin content.
If we swallow without masticate then there is no predigestion and our digestive system would have to do extra work to digest the food and on the long run it would wear down with terrible consequences.
On the other end meat eaters do not have alkaline saliva as meat is NOT alkaline so they do not need to predigest meat in their mouth.
Just look at a cat when he eat meat.
He will swallow without chewing.
Open your eyes and learn boy. Smile

Quote:So for you to believe that we are omnivores, we would have to have the exact same stomach acid as every other carnivore and omnivore. Well in that case, you will never believe we are omnivores because we don't have identical stomach acid. We are different species after all. Do you honestly expect a bear to have the same stomach acid as us? And what about between all the different species? Their stomach acid isn't identical, does that mean that they aren't carnivores or omnivores? Not that any of this matters as a difference in stomach acid doesn't prove anything. In fact, it doesn't even mean anything.


One more new low boy.
We are alkaline unlike meat eater.
Alkaline and acidic are two totally different things.
But i guess you wouldn't know the difference, isn't it boy? Smile

No, no, no, no, no, no so get use to it. Smile

True, boy but you wouldn't know why do you? Smile
Inuits do but as i just said few days ago they got use to (in this case by circumstances) so for them it is natural.
But natural is not as they can not really judge what is natural and what is not.
So when i say that we do not salivate i mean we human being as we are made physically-mentally.
Of course you can not expect that a junkie will say that drugs are bad or unnatural. Smile

The ratio (less then 10 compared to about 2000) is far far too much to make any mistakes.

You don't need to study as much as a doctor to know that in most cases arteries are choked with these elements.
There are other cases in which arteries are choked but these cases are much more rare like when the cells in the blood are swollen or other.
