Vegetarian diets

[mabudon]

HA I'd gladly show you that a vegetarian can kick the crap out of a meat eater any day- not only can vegetarians be strong, they can be VICIOUS.

If it's really a "manly man" issue I would imagine there's something entirely irrelevant colouring your perception of vegetarians, and should you ever put your "vegetarians are weaklings" theory to a "manly one-on-one" test against me I will have no problem laughing while you are collecting your manly meat-eating teeth from the pavement. Not a threat, but you must realize that you actually called me and all others like me a weakling based solely on my diet, and it would be funny to prove you painfully wrong.

Really, for someone who is supposedly old enough to know better, you are a truly ignorant person.

Oh and I have seen "meatarians" who were so huge and fat that they had to have walls knocked down in order to leave their own damn house. I could probably kick the stuffing out of one such as them wearing dress shoes, despite my weakly vegetarian physique.

NOW I am telling you, JLM, that you are full of crap (and I guess meat haha)

lol Yep, never get on the wrong side of a angry bushcutter like an elk or a swampdonkey like a moose. They're like the veggie versions of a badger.

I'm in the Niagara area BTW, so we don't allow UFC in this province, it'll have to be an unsanctioned event, but I truly would be glad to show the weakness of vegetarians versus the might of the meat in a real, live setting- I am thinking that certain idiotic statements made in this very thread would require some heavy-duty rethinking.

I just figure if some jackass calls me a weakling, I am obligated to offer them a chance to put their money where their big mouth is- I did state earlier in this very thread that I am a non-practicing Buddhist after all

Oh the love....the warmth...it just radiates from this Thread. :lol::lol::lol:
Good thing we're all adults (spread out over a large geographic area). ;-)

We do have MMA & UFC out here on the Prairies. I made the mistake of
asking recently, "What the hell is this 'baseball choke' you keep taking about?"

I found out. I was seeing black dots in 3-4 seconds....Yeah...Oh well.
Tap-Tap. I was just curious. :lol:

There's no shortage of good press for vegetarian diets from the authorities on nutrition and health. If there is a downside, it's that the individuals need to watch what they eat more carefully, but the reality is that this isn't a downside, and people who include meat in their diet should also be carefully monitoring what they eat.

Some results of studies have shown that vegetarian diets reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and they have shown that well planned vegan and vegetarian diets produce no ill effects in pregnant or lactating women.

The simple reality is that your body requires minerals and vitamins on top of caloric requirements and protein for amino acids/protein cycling in our body. It's entirely possible to do this without meat.

Though as a caveat, some people have evolved with entirely different diets. I doubt that Inuit people for example would do well on a vegetarian diet. They're tuned to producing enzymes which better metabolize fats and protein.

last year when i was doing a job out by Merrit, BC we had a vegetarian on the crew who was always tired, he never ate anything like meat and cheese, and for dinner he would eat nachoes...... He just didnt have the endurance to keep at er for 10 hours a day in the bush

Neither would you or anyone else if all they ate was nachos. Sounds like he was too low on carbs, to me.

Vegetarians are regular

When I priced it at Superstore a week or so ago it was $19.99 a kg.

Last year's catch-been deep frozen for a year-Superstore is notorious for that kind of dumb sh!t.

That's been my experience- it's hard to get enough protein just eating vegetables and to be skookum you have to have lots of protein.

Meat centrism is how many people live, everyday can have three meals built around some piece of flesh from some tortured unhappy animal. A tortured factory animals meat is unfit to eat for the most part, it stinks of synthetics. A number of years ago I determined to eat no meat that I hadn't raised or run over but that has other bad associations for me because I tend toward relationships with the animals that ultimately leave me feeling like a liar and a murderer come butchering time. Try talking to pigs or chickens all day knowing you,re not being honest with them. Hunting and fishing is different. Vegetables on the other hand I can rend and crush because they have no eyes. I know, I'm softening in my chronological advancement, but I can't cut throats anymore.

Let them eat veggies, there will be all that much more meat for us meat eaters...

darkbeaver, unless you developed the ability of photo synthesis, no matter what you eat, you are killing a living thing. Your justification of vegetables not having eyes and therefore could be rent squashed is a lame excuse and a pretentious and phony disregard for life. Cutting up a potato, slicing up a carrot or boiling beans is no different from killing a chicken, a rabbit or a pig. Your false logic is clearly displayed and proven by your own words: "Hunting and fishing is different". Could you tell us WHY??

Right on Y.J. and besides potatoes have eyes...............:lol::lol::lol:

I simply try to make my diet balanced according to cost. Meat is one of the most costly things in it, in input of oil products and food to grow it, and thus monetarily. If someone decided they didn't want the cost, decided they don't want the condensed energy, that's their call to make, and so long as they're not judging me for balancing my diet as I see fit, I'll grant them the same respect. Unless of course I see someone I truly value, living off tortilla chips instead of making themselves some decent protein bearing food. But my criticism wouldn't be one of the vegetarianism as much as the bad balance.

Vegetarians don't have to eat just veggies though. Whole grains, energy dense. Nuts, energy dense. Beans, energy dense. And lots of protein. Some vegetarians eat dairy and eggs though, which is again a great source of protein.

 

[mabudon]

Yokkonjagck, your analogy is fairly ridiculous- I can cut the "eyes" off of a potato and eat it, while planting the leftover parts in the ground and thus making several potatoes out of that one in the act of "killing" it.

I have NEVER heard of someone making cuttings from a cow after they'd slain it, besides perhaps in silly fairy tales.

JLM- I guess it takes one to know one!

Nociceptors.

Of course it's different. Plants have evolved completely different response mechanisms to stress. There is no known mechanism by which plants could be said to experience pain.
