[benny vader]

V ADVISED : Farmed meat contains a hell lot of residual estrogen and/or other growth hormones that can cause fat lips and bitch tits.

[16] If you cant get naturally grown meats ..... be vegan.

We have teeth for crushing and tearing. Do you really think teeth selectively pick what they want to eat?

Or a hacksaw is only for cutting metal. Or a hammer is only for nails?

I looked at my teeth, and they say nothing about "do not eat meat". Jellyfish have no teeth or digestive tract(or brain), yet they are still capable of eating fish. Fresh meat is easily eaten raw, its just that it tastes better cooked and requires less effort to digest. And people still do(steak tartare). Or take the picture posted above of a Venus fly trap.

If you go by what their teeth look like, then you'd be wrong every single time. My dog eats vegetables, rice and meat. Do they eat rice and vegetables in the wild? Nope, but their digestive tracts have adapted to eat whatever they are able to get. Humans are no exception. Humans adapted to eating meat, as it was abundant and much less energy-intensive to catch a large buffalo to provide food. Less energy spent on food = more energy to spend on improving shelters, fresh water, language, arts, better weapons for hunting said animals, etc. And eventually they started cultivating plants and other crops and then meat and vegetables became reasonably standard.

Now what? The human jaw is capable of crushing through bone, human hands are capable of wielding tools and implements to reduce wear and tear on our teeth. Would you prefer to hunt a huge number of buffalo/bison, or would you prefer to have to cover huge distances in order to gather a small amount of fruits/berries/vegetables? Don't forget, this was back when the trees had much lower yields than they do now, and you were directly competing with an energy-rich source of food in the form of large animals.

Plus the obvious benefits hunting animals provided other than nutritional value, such as skins, bones and sinew(for making bows and cordage).

I know, you'll probably say "that was ancient history, we can just go to the store and buy our food now", but we didn't get here by going to the store to buy our food. If I wanted to eat, I'd walk to the back of my property and kill one of the kangaroos which run around there. I could use a spear, or I could use 500 years of technology and simply shoot one and reduce the effort. It would actually be beneficial to the local mob, since there would be less competition for food. They are more likely to die being hit by a truck/car than they are of old age around here.

tl;dr - teeth don't determine what you eat. Also I'm not American you stupid fuck, can't you read the location next to my name?

[STEROS]

the only meat i eat regularly are turkey burgers & shrimp.

3/4th of my diet is of varied fruits, veggies, and oatmeal.

i'm not a "vegan", i just enjoy eating this way because i'm benzo-tarded so a healthy diet balances it out (i think, lol), and i also enjoy looking good when i'm naked.

of course, every now and then i'll eat a fat juicy delicious burger, a slice of pizza with alfredo sauce on that bitch, or a fountain soda... but because i eat healthy regularly, i'll shit it all out the next morning and remain the same weight. (i'm 5 ft. 8, 145 lbs)

you need meat in your diet... you just need to balance it out and eat the right kind in the right portions... imo.

Teeth do determine what you eat, please go chew into an elephant like lions are able to because they have these things call TEETH MADE FOR RIPPING FLESH. Now sit down and shut the fuck up moron.

We have pretty much agreed that people need meat, only the dipshits are still trying to argue that point. However, how much meat?

OR, you could run down to the graveyard and dig up a couple of bodies and eat that instead. There's your "valuable skins," you fucking lunatic.

5) Less likey to have heart failure.

6) Less likey to have prostate problems.

7) You will be less likey to grow manboobs. The phytoestrogens in soy are not the same as human or animal estrogen and does not have any effect on human or animal metabolism. However, most males who eat meat and fast food have giant boobies.

8) The Shaolin monks, the best martial artists in the world, are all vegan, and have a crapload of energy.

10) Your farts will smell better.

12) Cow farming is the biggest cause of greenhouse gas, so by ruining the market you will be helping the enviorment.

13) Non meat farming is cheaper and can hire more workers.

14) It will increase your discipline

15) Almost every type of meat product has a vegan imitation version that tastes very similar and has better nutritional value.

on the norm, i eat one turkey burger on one day (i use craft whole-wheat bread from a local bakery in my area... it's a bit pricey but it's worth it imo & f'n delicious!) and then the next day i'll prepare a spinach salad mixture with a single serving (six pieces) of boiled shrimp.

turkey burger one day, shrimp the next... been doing this for about 3 years now.

i personal choose to maintain a thin build so this is how i choose my meat-intake.

Perhaps in your stupor from all the pesticides you overlooked the bit where I said that humans are smart enough to make tools. Look at apes, they have mouths more like a lions than a humans. Much larger, much stronger, bigger teeth. You're using the internet, whilst telling me to chew into an elephant. My body wasn't designed for hand to hand combat with animals 20 times my size. Not even a lion is stupid enough to take on an elephant, unless it was very hungry. Elephants can kill lions with little effort, as can large buffalo.

Spears were developed to hunt smaller animals, something around the size of an antelope, deer or goat. Then you could finish them off with a large club and butcher them for eating or storage. With the advancement of the bow and arrow, larger game could be taken with ease and so our technology developed further as less effort was spent on making/gathering food.

What about in the Arctic? Do you think you'd survive with only plant fibres? Not a chance.

Sigh. You're a shitty troll, and everybody knows it. Why do you even bother any more? Did you take some acid and have some "awakening" into your inner retard? Or did you finally stop taking your meds?

Most of that is total horse shit. First off, let's go from the top:

2: Name the diseases you get from eating meat. I do know that you can become anemic, and have other low vitamins like low B vitamins, which you need supplements to combat (refer to number 1).

3: I don't feel guilty in the slightest.

7: Soy is pretty high in estrogen

9: Source?

10: Only a vegan would be bothered to change a habit to make his farts smell better.

11: I have perfect skin

14: Tell an IFBB pro that eats poudns and pounds of meat for every meal (6 or more times a day) that they lack discipline. You can torture yourself in many ways and call it discipline. Not necessarily a good discipline though.

Nothing wrong with being vegan, but I hate people pushing their ideals down other people's throats. Currently, I'm eating a taco salad with chicken and ground beef, afterwards I'm going to enjoy peppered deer jerky as a snack. Just because I hate you.

meat isnt going to make you fat unless you have a high carb diet to go along with it, especially simple carbs. I eat a high calorie diet with more meat than anything else and Im very lean

Heart disease, Cancer, Mad cow disease E. Coli, Salmonella, and Kuru, just to name a few.

That kinda rhymed didn't it? I should make this into a song.

3: I don't feel guilty in the slightest.

You have no heart. You aren't even human.

Watch this next time you're eating fried chicken.

7: Soy is pretty high in estrogen

It does, but not the type of estrogen that affects humans very much. Knowing this, I still stay away from soy products (besides soy sauce), but more so because there are better sources of protein, and some soybean oils are high in transfat.

11: I have perfect skin

We'll see about that when you've aged past adolescence.

'Mad cow disease' affects cows, not humans. Even taking incubation periods into consideration in its human equivalent, vCJD, the disease is still very rare in humans. As for Kuru... "The main risk factor for kuru is eating human brain tissue, which can contain the infectious particles.". Lol. Great example. Jeffrey Dahmer devotee's better check their protein source's passports before inviting them to dinner.

So enjoy developing dementia and very slowly rotting to death 'cause you've dodged every other major killer, eg.. cancer[1], heart disease, etc. At least your vegan shit won't smell so bad when the nurse comes to change your diaper.

1) Meat consumption is primarily associated with bowel cancer. Would a vegan feel smug about dying from a different kind of cancer?
