why do you eat pigs,and cows,and fish, sheep,lambs,and all that king of stuff.The days are long gone that man would go out in his lioncloth and carry a club and batter the head of a poor defenceless animal so he and his family could eat.We now have supermarkets where you can buy loads of other food to keep you alive.if you lived near the north pole you would be eating seal for your dinner,if you lived in France you would be eating horse and snails,if you lived in china you would be eating cats and rats.and if you lived in the lost jungles of Africa you might be eating your best friend.Its all a habit,there is no need to eat other living specious.
Unless of course you like the feeling of having something dead inside you.What wrong with nuts and berries,peas and beans,and all that other king of healthy food.
or are you the guy who likes his pig and chips,or a slice of cow,and dont forget in december to eat a half of a turkey,just because you were told long ago that its great to eat dead animals.
i often wonder why people dont eat their dogs,how come the dog gets away with it.?

How do you know that plants don't have feelings, Brassy? Go and hug a tree immediately, our future King would approve.

The answer is simple - meat tastes nice.
There's no other reason except to make money for the producers. |

eating nothing but fat , meat , fish , eggs good salt and a few green and red veggies and mushrooms -
eating animal kills the appetite cuts meals down to 1 per day- have had several 2 day fasts without any problems best way to lose/ maintain weight i've ever tried friday - a roasted breast of lamb seasoned but nothing else yesterday - pork joint roasted - ate crackling + 2 slices smothered in the lamb dripping not hungry at all today so nothing so far. eating vegetarian is bad for your (my) sugars and cholesterol in nature cows/ buffalo are fat - he carnivores are slim |

Why do animals eat people?

As the world population grows and there won't be enough protein to go around, we will soon be eating protein cakes made from ground up insects. Bad news for grasshoppers and cockroaches. I hope they will be free-range and killed humanely.

Absolutely Imfao, that's the Atkins diet. Losing weight on the Atkins is easy. |

and i'd happily eat insect burgers

They already do in some Asian countries, yummy.

Where do animals that don't eat other animals get their protein from, like horses and cattle?

I've been a vegan for a couple of years and a vegetarian for thirty-plus before that. I stopped eating meat on moral grounds, but the health benefits are considerable.

They get it from vegetation, Dr C. They have several stomachs, one for fermenting vast quantities of the stuff, the fermentation being achieved by bacteria. Our digestive system is different. We are not adapted to live on green leaves alone.

if folk could cook/taste really good veggie food they'd more likely take that option but sadly most veggie food served up in pubs and restaraunts is awful and bland - you need to be a half decent cook to get it right too.
I'm lucky that i'm happy not to require a dinner every day -i'll quite happily munch on bags of cashew nuts and spicy falafels ,as long as i have beer to go with it - that's my main requirement lol . |

We don't need to eat animal products at all.
I eat very little meat or fish these days and like Pokermonster I feel much better for it. Nothing to do with animal rights, I know that eating meat and fish doesn't suit me. |

By:
Pandas are a funny one Dr Crippen as they only eat bamboo ... there is so little in way of nutrients that they have to eat pretty much the whole damn time - a bit like cows i guess .
that's what i was told anyway |
|
By:
I don't eat much meat either although I eat a small portion of either meat or fish most days. You need less food as you get older. My preferred breakfast is oatmeal porridge made with water and some fruit.

Coachbuster, Some doctor I read said there are 32 essential vitamins and minerals we're told the body needs.
Yet there's no diet that can deliver these vitamins and minerals in the amounts we supposed to be getting. And if we take supplements they're difficult to absorb. |
|
By:
A measure of the quality of the nutritional advice we get these days, can be judged from the numbers of people who are getting cancers, heart attacks, and diabetes earlier in life all the time.
You're expected to have diabetes if you're over 70. If you haven't got it at that age they think there's something wrong with you. No joke. Yet it's all down to animal based diets according to some doctors, who are regarded as quacks for going against the consensus. |

My brother is vegan, for months I have listened to him prepping/cooking/eating huge amounts of food for two or three hours a day. Not doable for most people-thank goodness- and the amount of packaging waste he produced is quite bewildering, probably 4 or 5 times my own. |
|
By:
saddo- he must be quite into his food to spend that amount of time prepping ... ok for a large family etc i guess but seems a lot of effort if just for him .... each to their own though
 where does all the packaging come from as most vegans cook from fresh or dried rather than packaged ? |
|
By:
Preparing good, healthy and tasty vegetarian or vegan food is quick and easy.

By:
IF you know what you're doing Pokermonster
 |
|
By:
Totally agree Pokermonster. If I have to eat meat more than once or twice a week I feel very heavy and lethargic.
|
|
By:
True, gentlemen. And as you say, Mr C, a good deal is simply fresh food and a few herbs or spices.
|

By:
I made a lovely risotto yesterday, took me about twenty minutes including the washing up.
|
|
By:
I'm getting on a bit now and don't eat huge portions but I'm still fourteen stone, a vegetarian or vegan diet easily provides all the nutrients a person requires to remain healthy.

Interesting interview here with Dr. T. Colin Campbell the author of the China Study.
The China study was a large project done in China which contrasted the differences in health between those who consumed animal products and those who didn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx3oNrh2b6g Campbell says that protein is a great builder of body cells, he says it's also a great builder of cancer cells. He puts the increase of cancer and other diseases amongst wealthy nations, down to eating meat and in particular the protein that meat contains. No need to tell you he's a vegetarian. |

By:
We are told the health risks of eating animal products are greatly increased by the way they are cooked.
Scorching meat like we do with steak, sausages and bacon, causes the surface to become carcinogenic. Particularly with processed meat. The same thing can happens with bread when we make toast. In fact it's not a good idea to eat anything that has been burned. Of course the authorities fearing a backlash from food manufactures tell us we're okay eating these foods in moderation. Don't fall for it, the message is clear. If you value your health simply don't eat them. |
|
By:
but i love a steak dr crippen.
hoe else can it be cooked to taste nice. |
|
By:
I can see you enjoy your food Callisto-Moon.

By:
offical fact=a packet of sausages is more dangerous to your health than a packet of cigarettes.
|
|
By:
All the smokers I know like to light up after a good meal, which usually contains meat.
Just to make sure. |
|
By:
And people are supposed to be the specious with the brains.
 |
|
By:
I don't think there are many who eat a packet of sausages every day for 50 years, Brassy. Anyone who did should expect health problems, so you could be right.

By:
if a parent was giving their children a spoonful of arsenic a few times a week he or she would be charged with attempted murder and be put in jail,but most parents teach their children how to eat sausages with a fork and serve them at least once a week ,or have a hamburger ,and the world and its mother know that they are very very bad ,but nobody pays any attention.its not best practice yet we all see it and say nothing.

Bacon and eggs for breakfast, chicken salad sandwich for lunch with a bag of crisps and steak and stir fry veg for dinner today. I could not possibly go veggie if you paid me.

your taste buds get used to different food/tastes /textures over time so the longer you go without meat the less you seem to desire it as you explore new tastes - a bit like making THAT move from lager to ale ,or from sweet to savoury
