Cholesterol heaven.After - Usually I have 3 eggs w/1.5 slices of bacon or 1.5 sausage links.
I believe that he's just trying to point out that you completely ignore the long term effects. In fact, you dont even acknowledge their existance.Look, I couldn't be happier that you have lost weight and become healthier. You chose a different path than I or X-Man. Why is it unacceptable to you that I don't choose the exact same path to reach the same goal?
Say your path along the way overall weakens your heart. You are both at the target weight, but your heart took more of a beating along the way.
So, essentially your are only meeting eye to eye with one part of your goal.
Oh, my god, how many times does this have to be gone over... I would think that with such great knowledge of diets, you would have a clue as to how humans work.Are you joking? You are really saying that humans weren't designed to be carnivores?
Btw, I look at my teeth and I see these four very pointy ones. Do you think those were designed that way to chew plants?
In 1990, William Clifford Roberts, the distinguished editor in chief of The American Journal of Cardiology, wrote:
Although human beings eat meat we are not natural carnivores. We were intended to eat plants, fruits and starches! No matter how much fat carnivores eat, they do not develop atheroschlerosis. It's virtually impossible, for example, to produce atheroschlerosis in the dog even when 100 grams of cholesterol are added to its meat ration. (This amount of cholesterol is approximately 200 times the average amount that human beings in the USA eat each day!) In contrast, herbivores rapidly develop atheroschlerosis if they are fed foods, namely fat and cholesterol, intended for carnivores...
Thus, 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

Physiology:
All of a carnivore?s teeth are long, sharp, and pointed; whereas we humans have smooth, only slightly raised points on our teeth: for crushing and grinding.
A carnivore?s jaw moves up and down only, for tearing and biting; ours move from side to side for grinding.
A carnivore?s saliva is acid and geared to the digestion of animal protein (it lacks ptyalin, a chemical that digests starches); our saliva is alkaline and contains ptyalin for the digestion of starches.
A carnivore?s stomach is a simple round sack that secretes ten times more hydrochloric acid than that of a non-carnivore; our stomachs are oblong in shape, complicated in structure, and convoluted, with a duodenum.
A carnivore?s intestines are three times the length of its trunk, designed for rapid expulsion of food-stuff, which quickly rots; our intestines are twelve times the length of our trunks and designed to keep food in them until all nutrients are extracted.
The liver of a carnivore is capable of eliminating ten to fifteen times more uric acid than the liver of a herbivore; our livers have the capacity to eliminate only a small amount of uric acid (uric acid: an extremely dangerous toxic substance - all meat consumption releases large quantities of it into the system). Unlike carnivores and most omivores, humans do not have the enzyme (uricase) to break down uric acid.
A carnivore does not sweat through the skin and has no pores; we do sweat through the skin and have pores.
A carnivore?s urine is acid; ours is alkaline.
A carnivore?s tongue is rough; ours is smooth.
Our hands are perfectly designed for plucking fruit from a tree; not for tearing the guts out of carcasses of a dead animal as are a carnivore?s claws.

Further Explanation of Preceding Nutritional Material**:
Vegetarians enjoy increased health because it is natural for human health. No mammal, other than those who are kept as pets or confined in a zoo (because they?re under the dominion of humans) have as many health problems as do humans. We are obviously the only animal who has developed a medical system, yet on paper, we enjoy the lowest level of health in the entire animal kingdom. The fact is that without the band-aid efforts of modern science ?survival of the fittest? would be a frightening notion to the human race.
If we are indeed meant to be carnivores or omnivores then why are most people incapable of eating meat without cooking it? We are the only so-called carnivore or omnivore who cook their meat. This is one major way in which the consumption of flesh food contributes to failing health in humans. Enzymes are sensitive to all heat above 130F. At 130F and above, these life-giving enzymes are dead.
Further, we eat only the muscle meat and fat of the animal. If you?ve ever seen a predator take down its prey, either in person or on a nature show, then you?d have noticed that the predator rips open the underside of its prey, opens up its belly and goes straight for the intestines. This is one reason why carnivores don?t eat other carnivores. Carnivorous animals are eating animals that are plant- and fruit-eaters, because that is what all animals need. The reason carnivores will go straight to the intestines is that that is where it finds the predigested nutrient dense, enzyme-rich, high water-content food. After that, it eats all of the organs, followed by the blood, lastly they eat the muscle meat and fat.
One of the most common myths is that meat makes one strong. What would you say is the strongest animal on the planet? The elephant?, Ox?, Horse?, Water buffalo? They all eat leafy matter, grass and fruit. The silverback gorilla physiologically resembles the human being. It is three times the size of an average person, but it has thirty times the strength of an average person. The silverback subsists wholly on fruit and other vegetation. When fruit is plentiful, they forgo the eating of any other food until the fruit is depleted. What about the steer meat, which is eaten for its near-perfect protein? What did the steer eat to build that protein? Grain and grass! Protein is not built in the body by eating protein/muscle. Muscle does not come from eating muscle. The body is just a little more sophisticated than that.
Protein is built from amino acids and there are no ?essential? amino acids in flesh that the animal did not derive from plants, and that humans cannot also derive from plants. This is also why, except in emergencies, carnivorous animals generally don?t eat other carnivorous animals. No animal in nature needs to combine different foods to get all the essentials. The body has a most remarkable mechanism to guarantee that something as crucial as protein is manufactured regularly and with great proficiency.
There are eight amino acids that the body must appropriate from outside sources, and although all fruit and vegetables contain most of the eight, there are many fruit and vegetables that contain all the amino acids not produced by the body: carrots, bananas, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, kale, okra, peas, potatoes, summer squash, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes. All nuts, sunflower and sesame seeds, peanuts, and beans contain all eight, as well. Utilizable amino acid content found in plant life is far in excess of that to be found in flesh foods.
Vitamin B12 - where do the animals whose meat we eat get theirs? Vitamin B12 is found in plants in very small amounts. But the way Vitamin B12 is secured is primarily from that produced in the body. The stomach secreted a substance called ?intrinsic factor,? which transports the vitamin B12 created by the bacterial flora in our intestines. Our actual need for vitamin B12 is so minute that it is measured in micrograms (millionth of a gram) or nanograms (billionth of a gram). One milligram of vitamin B12 will last you over two years, and healthy individuals usually carry around a five year supply. Putrefaction hampers the secretion of ?intrinsic factor? in the stomach and retards the production of vitamin B12. So flesh-eaters are more apt to develop a vitamin B12 deficiency than vegetarians!
*OK - this just in: we have to retract our original statement!! We have discovered that there is indeed one justification for eating meat. Dr.Carl Lumholtz, a Norwegian scientist, conducted extensive studies of anthropology, specifically, cannibalism. He indicated that some aborigine tribes in Australia would not eat the flesh of meat eaters because it was salty and occasioned nausea. But vegetarians were considered good eatin? because their food was chiefly of plant origin. So, if you are vacationing in cannibal territory, eating meat could serve as cannibal-repellant.
