How you gonna train wild animals to not eat meat?
I sympathize with vegans. When I first changed my dietary habits, I went vegetarian for six months. I dropped over fifty pounds and had more energy than I knew how to use up. I found myself running when I ought to have been walking. It was only after I reverted to eatimg meat almost daily the energy became less pronounced.
I had that same experience.
My current diet is MAYBE... ( and this is stretching it) 10% actual animal protien.
I have a piece of meat many 2 - 3 times a week,
Usually salmon, organic chicken or sliced ham in a sandwich.
I have rice and broccoli for breakfast many times during the week.
hoenstly, I feel better eating less meat.
But when i tried to go vegan.. my body felt out of control. Energy... ppbbthh... I call it jitters..
In my case, I felt stronger and more in control.
I never eat meat for breakfast. I eat a chicken soup of my own making for lunch. For dinner, we may or may not eat meat - depends on how we feel at the moment.
do you eat tofu?
horrible texture right out of the package..
but if you put some work into it, it is quite good...
Honestly, I haven't worked up the nerve to try it.
HA!
dont blame ya..
not one bit..
My wife isn't into eating the way I do. So I have to compromise a lot of the time.
Tofu can be pretty gross...but if used by a wise chef, it can be very good.
Actually, hmm...maybe it's not the tofu that's good, but the other stuffed the tofu is mixed with...
Anyway, I'm surprised natural selection hasn't weeded out more of the vegetarians...
Then again, I bet if modern science devised a way to sustain people who don't eat any vegetables, meat, but only water and minerals...people would start fighting for the lettuce's right to live
Some day, in the not so distant future, a family of 8 will be driving their hybrid SUV through a nature preserve in Africa and will be priveledged by the sight of a wild lion taking down a swift-running tofu.
Nature is beautiful.
This is funny, But man where are all the veggies?
there is only one possible vegetable-tarian on this forum that I know of....
Once knew a young lady who was a fervent vegetartian - wouldn't even wear leather or wool. She'd developed a passionate interest in photography. One day, she'd done something to really tick me off, so I went to some effort (like, all sortsa chemistry texts and product formularies) to explain to her the process involved with depositing silver halide - the substance that reacts to light - onto film and paper. The silver halide is supended in a particular medium which has the properties of adhering well to paper and to the various substrates used to make photographic film, while being itself entirely un-reactive with silver halide or the dyes whch produce image color, drying to a fairly tough, flexible, nearly perfectly transparent, even film with negligible refractive (or light-scattering) effect, and of dissolving and washing away completely in cool water. That medium is a colloid derived only from beef gelatin.
I, having the distinction of being a farmer/rancher while also occuping a position with the state government surrounded by "sensitively educated" fruitcakes, found that my cohorts were extremely dismayed that I would raise from birth various critters and upon them coming of the appropriate age would slaughter and eat them. (filling the freezers) I was constantly harassed in my work environment while those same cohorts dropped by the market on the way home for that T-bone, honey ham or burger. Freakin' idiots.

Dys, all this time I thought you were a gentle sweetie. Then I find out you are a mass murderer. Now I'm scared to bring my mutts, Dolly and Madison to your house. I know Diane can hold her own, but should we take the pulse of Sally and Fred to be they have survived your lethal rampages?

Re: Dys
BBB-
Fred is just a recording.
If it were a lion hungry and looking at us, it wouldn't think twice about eating us. So why would we think twice about eating an animal either?
I think some of the practices here are pretty awful. Lions don't fatten their prey up or inject them with antibiotics before eating them.
yeah, its a good ole game of cat and mouse
