So who is going to give up meat?

[Shlong]

Maybe eat less meat, but never going to give it up.

Vegetarian for 4 years now.

It's not evolution you twit, it's stupidity. Look at your ****** teeth. Do you think you were meant to eat only vegetables? When nature decides that we should all eat veggies, it'll make meat taste bad, and will ensure that we no longer have the teeth for it. In the meanwhile, I'll be the omnivore that my genetics intended.

Don't try to force your holier-than-thou practices on everybody else.

We were designed to be plant eaters. Monkeys these days rarely eat meat, but they don't mind eating it when they find it. And you can clearly see that our teeth weren't designed for meat, because we have the teeth of a herbiwore.

But it's assumed that the fact that we switched to a diet consisting of meat helped our brain evolve. So eating meat is not a bad thing. Especialy when it tastes that good!

Btw, to produce one kilo of meat, you use 72 times the amount of energy in the meat itself. With plants it's like 2-10 times. Don't rememebr the details.

No we don't. We have both kinds of teeth. We have our canines in the front for cutting into meat... and molars for chewing.

Try proving it otherwise.

As far as "using up energy", I don't give a rat's ass. There are no Malthusian limits, so I am not worried.

We are definitely ominvorous like monkeys. However, vegetables should be the staple of the diet. Vegetarianism or at least a less meat-centric diet would definitely be more sustainable for the planet.

In regards to this:

Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.

I find it really funny how quickly it was attacked. That is actually a quote from Albert Einstein. I forgot to credit him in the original post.

Some thing you might learn to consider is the amount of oil/oil byproducts that goes into our food. We rely on it as a fertilizer and for processing foods, as we've ruined most of our fertile soil. In the near future, we may have to drastically change our diets (for the better). Meat ain't so bad...horribly inefficient, but not so bad. Processed foods however, are the devil.

I love how people invent these stupid labels and apply them to whoever they like. WTF is "liberalism" anyway? Do you talk to a lot of people call themselves "liberals" or "liberalists", or whatever someone who "practices "liberalism" would be called?

The people trying to get you to give up eating meat to save the planet are called "environmentalists". You can disagree with them all you want, but I get sick of hearing people apply names with no significance or meaning to arbitrary groups of people.

The word "liberal" is typically used to mean "everyone with beleifs noticably different than my own", which a pretty damn useless description.

American liberalism is the socialist/communist, anti-capitalist left. Who have also taken over the environmentalist movement as a means of fighting capitalism.

I didn't invent the term, I have used it in the proper way given the way it has evolved in the 20th century.

Previous to that, liberalism was libertarianism.

I did not use the term arbitrarily.

You guys go for it. I see cheap beef for me in my 8 ball.

The word is used by him because he hates anyone with liberal "logics". He's a bigot.
And also has little understanding of how politics works.
Left and righty doesn't really make sense, the scale is supoposed to look like this. Look under "International Chart.

I'm a libertarian. That does not mean I do not know what American liberaism means. Most hard core activist type American liberals would fall under the authoritarian left... exactly where Gore falls. In fact, I have not met a single environmental activist who was not a strong socialist/communist.

Sure, I am happy to eat vegetarian. I guess that means I care more about the planet we live on than everyone else in this thread.

Plants help the envoirment, they cycle oxygen and have all sorts of Scientific value, stuff I could elaborate on if I hadn't attended California public schools. Cows on the other hand, kill the envoirment with their stank breath.
So by eating plants you are doing damage to the world! I eat Rib Eye, not because I like steak, but because I know if cows don't get eaten up they will burp away the Ozone.

I am truely selfless...

all the greenies can piss off, Steak! it's what's for dinner

 

[TallBill]

Animals have been eating animals for a long time. Not a chance that I'll break that tradition.

 

[Vegitto]

I would rather perish in the apocalypse than to give up my meats.
