I don't follow you.
When i say that?
Quote:There are vegetarians and vegans who accept the fact that humans are omnivores. Their reasons for promoting their diets are ethical considerations for how food animals are treated, the health risks from factory farmed meat and environmental issues such as how many resources are needed to produce a pound of meat compared to a pound of vegetables. They also point out that Vitamin B12 doesn't come from plant foods so vegans have to take a supplement. This advice also turned up on that Jain website article I quoted from in an earlier post.
Who are people most likely to listen to? The vegetarians and vegans who use science when writing about their lifestyle choice or the ones who insist that humans can't digest meat so it rots away in the colon for days on end?
We got all sort of people with all sort of ideas.
We both may agree on veg. issues but may not agree on
the existence or not of God.
Other people may agree on the existence or not of God but not
on veg. issues.
Nothing really new under the stars.
