a thought on vegetarianism

[The Resonte!]

ok so a lot of vegetarians are vegetarian because they're not comfortable with eating meat and the flesh of the innocent right
because you know they're slaughtered for their meat

but what if

here me out

what if the meat came from naturally-dying animals
as in if an animal dies from old age

does that circumvent the whole animal cruelty thing or




here this explains it

[King Tøny]

I explained to a vegetarian that this crab shack only rips off one claw off the crab and releases the crab.

She still found it inhumane.

Then the meat is old and tastes like stuff

[PhantOS]

we're biologically herbivore so we don't need to eat meat. it's just a choice

is actually bullstuff

it's funny to imagine tony actually saying this in real life with 100% seriousness and seeing nothing wrong with it

which is why we have teeth with the express purpose of grinding meat

someone should rip off tony's hand, then he'll have to decide between jacking off or trolling

so do gorillas and every primate but they're herbivores. interestingly, that's the only carnivorous aspect that humans have. the rest of our anatomy is herbivore

is actually bullstuff

the scientific community has proven this stuff too many times

[Zloff]

yes, but

we ARE omnivores but our bodies benefit greatly from a vegetarian diet with preferably white meat - over red meat - sparringly

[PhantOS]

we're all herbivores but we break the rules by cooking meat, which makes it possible to digest somewhat.

hour digestive tracts are absurdly long, a characteristic of herbivores. when we eat raw meat, it sits in our 100 degree stomach for 4-8 hours, literally rotting and spreading bacteria. this is why we cook food

Before PhantOS goes apestuff on me with the vegan principles of calling me a pagan who wishes nothing but to bathe in the blood of animals, I'd care to point out this interesting book I read by the acclaimed paleoanthropologist by the name of Daniel Lieberman who supports the idea that we are omnivores by nature. It's called The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health, and Disease and it's a wonderful read for anyone interested in the history of the human diet and body.

Trust me, the man is well known in the field and it's a book I had the pleasure of reading in college during our study of the human diet over the years.

why would i go apestuff over someone's diet? i eat taco bell literally 24/7 and i'm in love with pork chops and stuff. i just know as a fact that we aren't anatomically fit to digest meat. similarly, we're not anatomically fit to run at 80 mph, but as a compromise we use bikes and automobiles to get past our limitations. fire is just a technology that we use to make stuff more accessible to us, and we make good use of it by cooking our meat so that it doesn't destroy our immune system on the daily

humans are designed to eat only vegetables, and if we were to have a diet consisting only of vegetables from birth to death, we'd still be very healthy. when you switch from meat to vegetables only, the bacteria ecosystem in your gut needs to adjust and it causes a bunch of health issues like low energy and fatigue

Meat, as Daniel Lieberman would say, is a part of a high calorie diet which was necessary for our ancestors who used to be hunter gatherers and in order to prevent a deficit, we needed to eat meat as a source of food to fill what grains and tubers couldn't. So to say that our body is not omnivorous by nature is completely false.

our behavior as humans is omnivorous. we can eat meat and vegetables, and eating both is clearly beneficial for us. however, we and our ancestors were born herbivores, not omnivores. if our ancestors didn't eat meat, we probably wouldn't have advanced as a species, but however long our race has been eating meat, it doesn't change the fact that we're biologically herbivore

at this point, humans can maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle as both omnivore and herbivore, but not carnivore.

Please, I urge you to educate yourself more on the matter.
