WHY you should not buy meat

[Klaatu]

Why is it difficult for you to understand that eating meat is a choice?

In my first post:

It's completely OK to choose to eat meat.

Being able to choose to or not to eat vegetables/meat/eggs/shit/barbed wire does not automatically mean that it's "a learned behaviour, not a genetically hardwired predisposition" to do the opposite.

I don't see the point in being mysterious. I know biologists may have political and social slants. If you think you have found one or (in this case it seems) many that don't let their likes get in the way of objective reasoning, why can't you give me a link? I'm interested in those researches, the researches you base your ideas on, and this is not sarcasm or anything else nasty.

When someone asks for a source and the speaker says "look it up yourself, I don't have time", it doesn't seem very convincing :S.

I wonder... why I like, somehow, the smell of farm Shit?

Does Shit supposed to smell bad? Or it is what we eat that make it smell bad?

I wish I could farp and people around me give me a smile instead of run away and call me a Pig

My opinion on this is that one should consider, to himself, if having a meat diet is healthy. For you as a being and for everything else around you.

Sit down a consider it. What ever one come off with, it's one opinion and one should respect it.

I still eat meat, even though vegetables are really tasty and I really like them.

And let me tell you, one of the most tasty, and beautifull, foods you can eat is food made a Veg Chief.

Love

it's a very lovely scent, if it's not too intensive
I like it too,
or cow turds on alps smell "good" too. I guess this is because I connect the smell with something good.


I'm not vegetarian because I love animals, I'm one because I hate plants.
hehe,
sorry for this absolutely senseless post, I wasn't able to resist.

I don't fully understand what you are saying here.

Kathy Freston sums it up pretty well here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kathy-fre ... 40261.html

I quote:

Human bodies aren't meant to eat meat. It's always seemed strange to me that we're the only species on Earth that has to cook flesh in order to eat it without getting sick. Look at our bodies: We're just not meant to eat flesh. Like all herbivores, almost all of our teeth are flat and blunt (the mouths of carnivores and omnivores are full of sharp incisors). Like all herbivores, our intestines are looooong (carnivores and omnivores have short intestines so they can get the rotting flesh they eat out quickly). We don't have sharp claws to seize and hold down prey. The list goes on. We may have had a need to eat meat thousands of years ago, in times of scarcity as hunter-gatherers, but we don't need to now, and we'll be better off if we don't. Dr William C. Roberts, M.D., editor of the American Journal of Cardiology, says, "Although we think we are one, and we act as if we are one, human beings are not natural carnivores. When we kill animals to eat them, they end up killing us, because their flesh, which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings, who are natural herbivores." Check out this essay by Dr. Milton Mills [http://www.earthsave.ca/articles/health/comparative.html] for more information on the issue of whether the human physiology is designed for meat consumption.
