Okay, let's settle this debate once and for all. I was intended to eat cheese. Cheese is expensive, unless you're getting the cheap stuff, which isn't very good. Many of you have more money than I do. Therefore you should give your money to me.

Jeeze, you don't even remember your own posting. Post #15 by you, mentioned canine teeth first in this thread. Therefore, I found it necessary to reply since you postulated that we have canine teeth for a reason. Had you not broached the issue of canine teeth the subject would not be a part of this discourse. Briana Dawsn Exactly. Nothing you have said disproved my point - we have canine teeth because we were intended to eat meat. YOU felt the need to extrapolate that into some nonsense about teeth not meaning a person was a carnivor, which I had never said, so I felt compelled to comment. I mean, I know it's easier to argue with a point I didn't make, but it doesn't get you very far. _____________________

What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, all; believe none of us.

Even the vegans aren't very bright in my neck of the woods. LOL! I had to explain to a waitress the difference between Vegetarian & Vegan. She still doesnt get it. Then she has to ask the question "why?" Like there's any definitive answer to that one.  I still say If you dont want to eat a cow, fish or chicken thats fine!............... Lets eat People instead!!  Plenty of them! And it'd cut down on the population & help clean up the planet! _____________________

Did anyone else notice Ulrika voted on this thread? Shes mentioned she roams the forums from time to time, just doesn't reply to threads on the whole.. Also, please try to refrain from attacking other peoples lifestyle choices, bare in mind what works for some people may not for others! Believing you're 100% right in anything can be a dangerous thing  _____________________

I did have a coworker once tell me that Jesus was vegan, though. I just pointed at her and yelled 'Loaves and FISHES!'. Her sole basis for believing that Christ was vegan was 'because vegans are good people'. That's the kind of mentality I have to deal with here, folks. Even the vegans aren't very bright in my neck of the woods. Wow... You must live on Earth. _____________________

I cooked crabs once and they screamed and tried to get out of the pot and that did it for me, no more home cooking of the crustaceans! (Not that I won't eat them if someone else cooks them - cause I will). . I've never heard crabs screaming before... and believe me, coastal Oregon is the best place to catch crabs   Seriously, I've never heard them scream before - I think what the sound is (from what I've been told) is air escaping from the shells. Dunno if it's true or not. Oh well, they're a bitch to clean - so I make hubby do it _____________________

No, that is not the same logic. Canine teeth are something we were born with, and study of various animals leads to the irrevocable conclusion that yes, humans are built to eat meat. coco It is so! Let's try it shall we? We are born with no wings and a propensity to fall when we flap our arms. A study of various animals leads to the irrevocable conclusion that yes, humans are built to travel by land. We are born with body hair as both genders and study of various women leads to the irrevocable conclusion that yes, women are built to have furry bikini areas. Clothing is not something we were born with and a study of various animals leads to the irrevocable conclusion that yes, humans are built to be nakededed. See? Worked perfectly. _____________________

My mind would not have been so mixed about this had I not experienced SL--as Eggy Lippmann has previously described, "humanoid avian". _____________________

The posts about the relationship between intestinal parasites and allergies was fascinating. That's the kind of stuff I like to read. And the vegan condom bit was hysterical... cocoa condoms!!
Otherwise I'm an omnivore. I eat stuff I like and don't eat stuff I don't. If anyone wants to get all riled up about my lunch, I will happy to give them the end result. _____________________

If we were not meant to eat meat, animals would not be slow, stupid and tasty. I eat mostly meat in day to day life, because most sources of carbohydrates, even the so called good ones, make me sleepy and slow and gain weight. My body does not process them well.

The strange thing is that human diets used to be formed by their environment and not their moral vlaues. For example the Polar Eskimos were strict carnivores, not by choice, but because not many fruits and vegetables grow on ice. They did quite well eating 100% meat since they ate every part of the animal including the stomach and its contents. They had a high fat diet but also burned off about 8000 calories a day so everything worked out in the end.
Nowadays Western type countries have Safeways and Krogers and can eat anything they want at any time. Diet may well be a moral choice for many but eating healthy can be eating almost anything if you know what you are doing. I sure don't. _____________________

Free-range human is one of the least healthy animals you could hope to eat. I mean, smoking, drinking, narcotics use, belief in partisan politics, eager consumption of reality TV programming... sorry, I'd eat a sea cucumber first. Raw. Alive. Now, farm-raised human, that's good eating. |

Listen up, brothers and sisters
Come hear my desperate tale I speak of our friends of nature Trapped in the dirt like a jail Vegetables live in oppression Served on our tables each night This killing of veggies is madness I say we take up the fight Salads are only for murderers Cole slaw's a fascist regime Don't think that they don't have feelings Just 'cause a radish can't scream {Refrain} I've heard the screams of the vegetables, scream scream scream Watching their skins being peeled, having their insides revealed Grated and steamed with no mercy, burning off calories How do you think that feels, bet it hurts really bad Carrot juice constitutes murder, and that's a real crime Greenhouses prisons for slaves, let my vegetables grow It's time to stop all this gardening, it's dirty as hell Let's call a spade a spade, it's a spade it's a spade it's a spade I saw a man eating celery So I beat him black and blue If he ever touches a sprout again I'll bite him clean in two I'm a political prisoner Trapped in a windowless cage 'Cause I stopped the slaughter of turnips By killing five men in a rage I told the judge when he sentenced me "This is my finest hour I'll kill those farmers again Just to save one more cauliflower" {Refrain} How low as people do we dare to stoop Making young broccolis bleed in the soup Untie your beans, uncage your tomatoes Set potted plants free, don't mash that potato, ah I've heard the screams of the vegetables scream scream scream Watching their skins being peeled fates in the stir fry are sealed Grated and steamed with no mercy you fat gourmet scum How do you think that feels leave them out in the fields Carrot juice constitutes murder V8's genocide Greenhouses prisons for slaves yes your compost's a grave It's time to stop all this gardening take up macramé Let's call a spade a spade it's a spade it's a spade it's a spade _____________________

I've never heard crabs screaming before... and believe me, coastal Oregon is the best place to catch crabs There's a brothel in Detroit where it's pretty easy to catch them there too, and yes they scream Listen up, brothers and sisters Come hear my desperate tale I speak of our friends of nature Trapped in the dirt like a jail Vegetables live in oppression Served on our tables each night This killing of veggies is madness I say we take up the fight Salads are only for murderers Cole slaw's a fascist regime Don't think that they don't have feelings Just 'cause a radish can't scream You can sing this to the music of Gilligans Island _____________________

I mean, smoking, drinking, narcotics use, belief in partisan politics, eager consumption of reality TV programming... sorry, I'd eat a sea cucumber first. Raw. Alive. Now, farm-raised human, that's good eating. Farm-raised humans have a high tobacco intake (in the form of skoal), they are known to drink heavily, and the water they drink causes them to have higher rates of infertility thanks to the chemicals from fertilizer run off. Eating them could be detrimental to your health. However, removing farm-raised humans from the food chain would help drain potential revenue from the glut of baptist hellfire churches, as well as cripple the constituency that votes for any God-fearing hayseed (or anyone who votes because they'll get a hundred bucks back from the IRS). _____________________
