Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?
RE: Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?
Adding plants to a diet is merely supplementing a meat based diet with plants, therefore plants could be considered a "supplement"
See how stupid that is?
We need both meat and plant.

Good, perhaps you would die.

What a load of nonsense. Soys and other feed do undergo photosynthesis and capture CO2, but unlike trees they are harvested/ transported etc. and that creates a lot of CO2 emissions. Additionally CO2 captured by trees is then stored as wood, whereas with grains it is released back into the environment when digested by an animal both as CO2, and more importantly as methane, which is 20 times more potent green house gas than CO2. All farming therefore puts CO2 into the air and according to the FAO agriculture contributes 18% globally to our CO2 emissions, and potentially considerably more in developed countries. The emissions from eating grains directly are therefore considerably less than feeding them to animals and eating meat.

Additionally, what is wrong with you? Wishing another person to die just because they disagree with you in debate on the internet?

EXACTLY. Its moronic to think supplementation is wrong, or to single them out as somehow apart from the rest of ones diet. Plants indeed could be considered a supplement to a meat diet, if you consider meat to be the starting point of a "natural" diet. My point is that for humans there is no such thing as a natural diet. Vitamins supplements are for vegans just another part of our diets that are required for obtaining certain vitamins. For omnivores that don't take supplements, eating meat is just a part of the diet that contains certain vitamins. Your argument that a diet that requires vitamin supplements is not healthy makes as much sense as me arguing that a meat diet that requires plants is not healthy. You are not arguing for a meat diet that excludes plants, and I am not arguing for a plant based diet that excludes vitamin supplements. All these foods just have different ethical, environmental and health impacts. For the latter this is determined by EVIDENCE, not just because certain parts of a diet are labelled as a supplement. And all the evidence shows that vegans are healthier.

This is getting ridiculous. They are different species, you fucking idiot. In the past, our ancestors from hundreds of millions of years ago may not have been omnivores. This whole thing started because you said humans are not omnivores. We are omnivores, end of story. Even if you proved that homo ergaster and homo erectus were not omnivores (which you have not) it does not mean that we are not.

Balance has nothing to do with the water cycle. It doesn't matter what happens to the earth, the water cycle will continue. As long as we have: 1) The sun 2) Water 3) The atmosphere. Again, you really don't know what you are talking about.

As I have said before, Vegetarianism isn't for everyone vegan even less so. Don't care about your supposed statistics, am watching closely how imediate family are dealing with various "Fad Diets" the outcomes so far are not in favour of "Fad Diets"

Also you haven't addressed the land use of areas that are not suitable to "cropping"

This argument against supplementation really does not make sense. Adding meat to a diet is merely supplementing a plant based diet with meat, therefore meat could be considered a "supplement". The only reason why you are against vitamin supplements and not meat supplements is because of an appeal to natural which says that because vitamin supplements are made by humans they are additional to the "natural" diet. Its just nonsense.

You might not like statistics, but they are always going to be more reliable than anecdotes. If your daughter is having problems with her diet I would suggest talking to a nutritionist.

You see, that is where you fail with your "natural vegetarian/ vegan diet" you HAVE to take dietary supplements derived form animals in-part, and fungi to live on you food to be healthy where omnivores do not have to support this pseudo-health industry just to live.

Sure supplements in the form of B12 and group iron and minerals are needed when illness strikes but it appears that you need these medications continually just to make it through the day which is why your "lifestyle" is unattractive to omnivores.

Some idiots think that water come as an endless source but intelligent people know that most of the water is saltwater and very little is suite water so for this reason it is important not to waste it or make it become dirty in the meat business or other form of pollution.


Quote:Your residence also comes at the expense of forests which could give clean air. Perhaps you should live in a hollow in a tree.


In life there are things that you can not avoid like building a house to live and things that you can avoid like wasting our limited resources in the meat dirty business that is why we should use our intellect for the best result.

Quote:Soys and other feed for the animals undertake the same processes to give clean air as trees in forests.


Sure but you forgot to say that while trees stay in the soil all the time soya come and go.
Not only that but while soya give little as far as clean air trees give a lot being bigger.
Not only that but while trees give refuge to animals and birds useful in keeping insects under control soya does not play this role.
Not only that but while trees hold water in their root system which allow the water cycle soya play this role only in small scale.
I am sure there is a lot more so your idea is bankrupt.

Quote:With Tibet although the high altitudes make farming crops difficult, they also have poor infrastructure that really reduces yields. Regardless, I don't see anything wrong with being a net importer of food, and it makes sense economically to be more specialised in one industry to gain a competitive advantage when trading with another country, rather than trying to do a bit of everything poorly.
I can think of at least two problems with this:
1) Tibet is dirt poor. What industry do they have that they can barter fairly for grain/plant-foods?
2) Transportation from anywhere outside Tibet TO Tibet is going to be OMG expensive. It is also going to create such an ungodly amount of pollution in burnt fuel, that any environment-minded vegetarian would probably cringe.

RE: Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?
To be fair while a lot of what Enrico writes is pretty silly (Astral Body?!), water is an important resource. While it does inevitably recycle, it is finite and so is limited per unit time, with excessive local use of water depleting local sources and rivers can have negative affects on the environment. For example, lets say a major river provided a certain amount of water to marsh land downstream, and this was required to maintain the biodiversity of that environment. If I was then to remove most of the water from that river to use in agriculture etc, that water could be piped hundreds of miles away and so the marshland would dry up. The total amount of water in the world would not change, but rather than supporting biodiversity it is supporting agriculture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_stres...nvironment
