TO PREVENT YOU FROM CONSTIPATION!!!
and why would i need to digest cellulose if i can digest starch and other sugars? which are digested into the same structural units of all sugars, glucose.

Right. Antichadi II 01:26:44 01/08/03 Wed

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? (NT) -- Former Anti-Chadi, 21:22:16 01/09/03 Thu
