I haven't been on here long enough to have read many of his posts, but the few I have read didn't seem to be high in content. Up until his most
recent posts about making how-to explosive manuals for racial separatists, which sounds like a good reason for a ban to me.

It's quite ironic that you accuse others of dogma, when you are the one arguing against reality. Vegetarians exist a few thousand years longer than
PETA and everyone has his personal reasons. I'm vegetarian, I love food, I lack nothing, I eat too much and in consequence I'm overweight. I know
other vegetarians and vegans with the same "problem" (if enjoying life can be considered a problem). So if the vegetarians you know look like heroin
junkies, then the fact that they don't eat meat is not their problem. Maybe they don't know how to cook, have depressions or really are junkies.
Your argument about evolution is very weak, by the way. Just because the ability to eat meat once gave an evolutionary advantage (before agriculture,
refrigeration and container ships) does not mean that eating meat is necessary.
PS: What I personally find totally ridiculous is people who eat pigs, cows and chickens but refuse to eat horse, dog or frog. I've tasted all three
when I was still eating meat and IMHO horse is better than cow and frog much better than chicken.

Im not attacking you personally in anyway at all but there is literature out that that I don't really feel like searching for showing that vegans do
not get the requirements of proteins , vitamins, and fatty acids needed to prevent the body from over working itself.
I would eat horse although I always figured it would be rather tough due to there mussle structure and as for frog... something about slimey and tiny
turns me off on that one. Perhaps a big giant frog that is skinned and nice and tender would be ok.
I don't feel the argument about evolution is weak at all. Omnivores evolved there teeth for this very use of eating meat and gathering the nutrition
it contains. Even if they are reminisent of a time we NEEDED meat is it such a stretch to think that other parts of the body still contain this, in
your views, a trait no longer needed. I feel if the teeth are still there then there is at lest one part of your body that still needs the nutriants
they where evolved to intake.
What are the benifits in your eyes to not eating any meat? I can see many reasons for limiting meat intake of certine types but what is to be gained
by eliminating it all together. As a vegan would you be willing to replace meat with insects, since that would be healthier then anything by far?
Random web image of vegans, weird ones at that who will not sleep with people that eat animals . Note the saddle bags under the eyes. This is typical of what I have seen from vegans, nothing personal just an
observation of mine since I know many many vegans.

Yet to meet a vegan kid who didn't have awful teeth (brittle and cracked, generally). But veganism and vegetarianism are really two entirely different
levels of difficulty in terms of managing to get fairly complete nutrition. Vegetarians (as usually defined) can still eat eggs, milk and butter - and
eggs in particular have pretty much the same nutrients as meat. Putting together a vegan diet with enough zinc, B12, fat and so on ends up being a bit
of a project - and likely not easy to stick with unless you're fairly disciplined.
Feasibility probably depends on your ancestry, too. I bet the average Tamil would do better on a vegetarian diet than an Inuit.

They look like normal, aging, busy people. I'm only 23, eat meat, exercise... and I look worse than that.
I think the correlation goes the other way:

My friend is from a vegan family and has lost about half his teeth. Could just be genetics though, since I come from a family that has near perfect
teeth. I don't even need to brush them, but the bad breath can get real nasty.
As for evolution, hunting (and making tools for hunting) was probably a very important prerequisite for a large brain.
Do whatever makes you happy. I just hate when vegans preach to me. Nothing they say will make me magically realize "Oh my god, meat is disgusting!" I
come from a family that loves meat and eats it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We also love vegetables.
When I was in France I ate frog legs and they taste like chicken. Expensive and not very filling.

That poor vegan, especially if he had been one from childhood, would have had severe and chronic deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron,
sulfur, proteins, most trace elements (especially zinc, cobalt, copper, manganese, chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, iodine), and of all vitamins except
vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and possibly E, so it is no wonder that he has such bad bones and teeth. He probably also has osteoporosis.

Look, im not saying its impossible to be a vegan in these days in age. It is possible to stay healthy and not eat meat. Theres always sea weed and
kelps of all kinds combined with a diet high in soy im sure you could accomplish the majority of your daily nutritional intake.
So surely its not impossible. It is however highly impractical. To put it into chemistry terms for all of us nerds its like attempting a total
synthesis when we had a direct precursor on hand the whole time. Combining a vegan diet with the disipline many vegans have with a healthy amount of
meat would be the ultimate picture of health without overworking the body.

Weird question. The same benefits you get from not eating frog. I think it's disgusting (and insects are creepy). I reduced my meat intake over the
years and was very happy with it. I spare you the details, it's long and not interesting. I'm not vegan and probably not even strictly vegetarian
since I eat a good piece of cheese even though it has a little piece of cow stomach inside. But that little piece of cow stomach is certainly not the
reason for me being well(/over)-fed.
BTW: I'm the only person I know without dental fillings.
The picture you posted are not random vegans, these are members of some crazy animal rights organisation (http://www.mindinganimals.com/index.php?option=com_content&a...), i.e. politicians. IMHO they look better than most other politicians in the 40-50
years range.

Fair enough I guess.
As far as the randomness of the vegans in the photo. Yes it was random and they where some of the first clear images in goggle search when I typed it
in. Just so happens they are complete loons and vegans. Its possiby and effect of what psychokinetic said
| Quote: | | It's not veganism makes you scummy, it's more likely that scummy people will be vegan |
and I hope you dont take offense to this but it maybe that its easier for crazys to lean towards veganism.
Its simular to the drug users effect were in many cases the person would be fucked up even if they didn't take drugs but there personlity trait lead
them down that path of being scummy and drugged up even though there are many drug users that are perfectly fine in there use yet it tends to attract
the wrong kind of attention from the wrong kind of people.
People like those in the photos just seem to be attention whores and since veganism wasn't enough to get them noticed they had to resort of being
crazy and vegan before they got there own web writeup about them. It even said in one part they don't have sex with meat eater because meat eaters are
made up of parts of dead animals. Thats loony and illogical as it gets. Have they stopped to consider what makes up the plants they eat? We are all
made up of dead animals no matter how you look at it.

Um, may I ask that a mod pull the veg(itari)an messages out of here and make a thread in whimsy?
Maybe it is easier for a crazy person to be vegan - if it means they care less about the self-serving bullshit criticism from others.
Anyone who thinks vegans are going to be deficient by default in anything does not know the facts. There are a very few nutrients that, to be sure of
an adequate supply, certain of our foods are fortified with.
Protein - Most *vegans* I know eat too much protein. Never mind meat eaters and vegetarians. There is no valid excuse bar poverty to be not getting
enough protein.
Calcium - a large percentage of the recommended calcium intake is due to loss of calcium from excessive animal protein consumption. It's not hard to
get plenty.
The only vitamin worth worrying about is B12 - the rest we get plenty of - and it is present in large (well, large for a vitamin measured in
micrograms, everything's relative) quantities in several products we eat.
I admit my girlfriend gets more zinc than I do.
I could go on, but essentially my point is - if you don't give a fuck about exploiting non-human animals, go ahead and do it. I won't attack you for
it, not will I treat you differently because of it. Just understand that I think of you the way I think of the guy picking his nose on the bus. And
don't pretend that its hard to be a healthy vegan. Years ago, it took a lot of effort, but now there are so many products aimed at us, that it really
is no problem.

This is the same type of silliness that we have been hearing for years about :
1. When imbibing water, it matters what you are drinking that has the water in it.
2. When eating sugar (sucrose, glucose, fructose) it matters what you are eating that contains this sugar.
I've always argued that H2O is H2O no matter where it comes from, and that this holds true for the named sugars also. Sucrose is broken down by the
catalyst saliva into glucose and fructose in the mouth.
In regard to eating meat, I know a 64 year-old man that eats only wild meat that he obtains by hunting and fishing. He also gets walking and hiking
exercise daily. He is at that age where periodic colonoscopy screening is recommended. His doctor said that he had the colon of a 25 year-old.
You can go further and say that we are all made up of stardust. (Carl Sagan)

And (apropos enough, since this is a chemistry forum...) don't forget old Owsley Stanley, LSD cook extraordinaire, who apparently has eaten nothing
but meat, eggs, milk and cheese since 1956 or 1959; believing apparently that vegetables are toxic. Here's a picture of him at the age of 64: http://www.owndoc.com/uploads/bear-s.jpg
Not too bad looking for someone his age.
| Quote: | | Anyone who thinks vegans are going to be deficient by default in anything does not know the facts. |
My observations are mostly empirical. Vegan kids, six of the six I've known (all age < 8), every one had terrible basically pathological teeth. I
don't have a specific theory regarding deficiency, but something seems amiss. I might add that vegans will, by default, be deficient in vitamin B12;
that's easily remedied, to be sure, but it makes your blanket statement false.
For those interested in a bigger dataset, I would suggest digging up the NHANES data - they have information on diet and health for large numbers of
Americans. On a previous occasion, I crunched the numbers for NHANES III and found a very strong positive association between frequency of cheese
consumption and self-reported dental health...

Anyone who was raised on a vegan diet should seriously consider consulting an attorney and filing a civil suit against their parents for child abuse.
http://www.hugesettlements.com/Personal-Injury/3098.html
| Quote: | | The baby was diagnosed with severe malnutrition and rickets. Doctors considered it a terrible case of neglect. Nevertheless, the parents claimed that
they thought the diet was the best for the girl. |
| Quote: | | There have been studies that show that when women avoid animal food their babies are born small with a slow growth process and retarded. In these
cases, the damage to the child begins in the womb and evolves as he/she is growing up. |
I think that people who take part in the vegan lifestyle suffer from the same human behavioral weaknesses found in people who take part in religions.
That is, the inability to think rationally or realistically, and the ability to take part in delusional fantasies in order to feel socially accepted.

Man, I didn't fight my way to the top of the foodchain to be a vegetarian, but what the hell does religion
have to do with it? Why take a gratuitous swipe at those who believe in a higher being just for the hell of it?

I do have agreement with the idea of expecting mothers needing a blood meal so to speak. It happens all thoughout the animal and insect kingdom where
even natural vegans will suddenly find the need for the protiens blood contains in order to support the added nutritional weight bearing a child
requires. Take mosquitoes as an example where the males and females will feed on necture until its time to bear offspring at which point the become a
pain in the ass if thats where it decides to bite you.
I know im going to here the argument that we are not mosquitoes but keep in mind this is a recurring pattern all thoughout nature.

Lol. You are right with your opinion on religion. But sorry to tell you, your rationalizing of meat intake has religious traits. Diet is something
highly irrational and has always been. Otherwise we would eat the meat of road casualities and stag beetles that cross our path. Yuck.
Maybe everyone should consider facts instead of anecdotal evidence. The American Dietic Association writes (emphasis added):
| Quote: | CONCLUSIONS
Appropriately planned vegetarian diets have been shown to be
healthful, nutritionally adequate, and beneficial in the preven-
tion and treatment of certain diseases. Vegetarian diets are
appropriate for all stages of the life cycle. There are many
reasons for the rising interest in vegetarianism. The number of
vegetarians in the United States and Canada is expected to
increase over the next decade. Dietetics professionals can as-
sist vegetarian clients by providing current, accurate informa-
tion about vegetarian nutrition, foods, and resources.

Saying that all vegetarians are malnourished is like saying all meat eaters look like this:
I.e. Bullshit.

The only cuts of horse I have eaten were tough, but that was because I bought the cheap cuts, I hear it can be quite tender.
Frog meat is not slimy at all.
Insects can be quite good if prepared properly, and make sure ants are dead, they can bite you in the back of the throat.

Eating human meat would cause diseases that were well documented in cannibalistic societies. Are stag beetles toxic? if not I would try them.
Yeah, I like eating pretty much everything. Except cauliflower. I cannot stand the taste.

Yes peach the video is shocking but thats just because humans have turned into a bunch of pansys that cant handle the realitys of nature anymore. A
lion kills a zebra and everyone watches on the nature channel but a human kills a cow and its atrocious.
Anyone who thinks that it was a horrible sight to watch and no longer wishes to eat meat because of it they must also stop using soap, perfumes, many
medications, toothpaste, cosmetics, anything with Glycerin in it, stop eating jello, cut out Myristic Acid from there life and Stearic Acid while
were at it. Many of the vitamines they take to compensate for the lack there of gotta go as well, anything that contains bone meal(such as the
fertilizers they put on there vegies because even the vegitables know they need a little meat in there diet). The list could go on for hours and while
much could be synthetic it boils down to practicality of supplying such a large population with these materials from synthetic and vegitable sources.
We are not barberians I would have to say that very little if any of the animals are wasted. Just be lucky we no longer live in the day where you
would have to be the fellow cutting the necks of these animals to get all of the products you all take for granted.
