Subject: Right. Author: Antichadi II [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01:26:44 01/08/03 Wed In reply to: chadi 's message, "Cellulose? omg, do you know why you need fibers that are not digested by humans (e.g cellulose) in your diet?" on 05:02:36 01/07/03 Tue But you don't need anywhere near as much as you get on a vegan diet. You don't get nutritive value out of plants like ruminants (cows, sheep, etc., to you) do, because your gut is too short. Everything goes through too fast, no time for proper microbial action to take place. The answer? Eat animal flesh. It's what you're designed to eat—that and some nuts and fruit. You're a hunter-gatherer. A predator. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date hunter-gatherer means a gatherer who can occasionally hunt when food becomes scarce. But if food is available, he doesn't need to practice farming that drastically degrades the environment and consume 16 times more water than agriculture, if organic agriculture can provide more than the least required food. chadi 02:24:19 01/08/03 Wed I'm afraid I lost you, chadi...What is the farming that drastically degrades the environment, and how does this relate to the length of our intestines?? -- Former Anti-Chadi, 03:03:37 01/08/03 Wed wealthy Americans or whoever... the nationality is not the problem as long as they are wealthy and powerful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- chadi, 04:11:47 01/08/03 Wed I'm not arguing that point. Raising livestock does put demands on the environment. I'm simply contending humans are designed to consume meat, and quite a bit of it. If the planet cannot sustain our protein requirements, we need to look at addressing the population issue. -- Antichadi II, 04:06:39 01/08/03 Wed would you please delete the text you're replying to when you type only in the subject box? -- chadi, 04:25:11 01/08/03 Wed Don't avoid the subject. (NT) -- Antichadi II, 04:35:29 01/08/03 Wed Cellulose absorption notwithstanding, wouldn't it be possible to at least get the proteins and vitamins we need from a vegetable and grain-based diet? -- Former Anti-Chadi, 05:34:29 01/08/03 Wed What you have have to decide is: are people more important than cows raised for food? -- Sister Bunny, 05:53:55 01/08/03 Wed I'm confused. Are you saying that people should be vegetarians because they should have a nice environment to live in, or they should be meat-eaters because they're more important than cattle?
