Veganism?

Feel tempted away. The Winter Prince's older sister is Vegan for health reasons, and it's interesting to listen to her.

Veganism...Great trolling topic.

I consider myself a fairly empathetic person and I seriously can't work up the bad feelings people seem to have about eating meat.

Most people don't. This is because it is human nature.

Is a lion "immoral" because it kills and eats a zebra?

This is shit that religious twits hang on humanity. It has no place in the natural world.

[reverendjeremiah]

Well, the way I see it Kich is that the only way to have some sort of moral justification is to say that God says its ok. Otherwise I don't see how can you say its ok once your attention has been turned to it.

Now if you are not a monotheist than where do you get your moral justification from to eat animals and their products. I personally can't justify it to my self. It's only when I was a monotheist that I thought its ok because God says its ok. You know what I mean.

Especially if you believe that this life is all there is then isn't it unfear to eat beings that are more aware of life than plants.

Shouldn't we be about minimising pain and suffering. Respecting life, especially life more evolved?

That is all i have to show to blast your veganism to smitherines.

It has nothing to do with religion and EVERYTHING to do with survival and the evolutionary history of my DNA.

When you are capable of proving that your veganism is more than mere belief, then I will tilt an ear in your direction. Until then you are just making crap up to fit your personal agenda.

Justification???

Do we need any more argument against Veganism then meat candy?

Um....

So the question is, if we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they so dang tasty?

If humans were adopted to a purely or even largely vegetarian diet, humans would have small chests an an enormous distended belly with miles of digestive track in which plant matter can linger and ferment, sort of like cows, or like gorillas with their cone shaped rib cage sitting atop a big sack of a belly.

But instead humans have barrel shaped chest and rib cage adopted to accommodate an prodigious aerobic capacity needed to run down prey animals over long distances, and a small belly suitable mostly for high quality neutrient sources like meat.

You have evolved to be an omnivore and you should ONLY consider veganism for medical reasons or you were born and raised on it. To switch from an omnivorous diet to vegan diet in a short period of time is dangerous to one's health.

Justification???

That is all

As long as animals aren't tortured in life or cruelly killed, I have no problem chomping on their yummy meat.

Like I said, waste of time.

[thesummerqueen]

Well, *I* was interested.

One problem with your link - we're omnivores. It would stand to reason our digestive systems would also match herbivores.

[Diamond]

To be honest, I kinda debated on using that one. I found a web page last year that compared our digestive systems to that of other omnivores, but I couldn't find it this time.
