I just had a revelation about PETA

It really doesn't take careful planning to be a healthy vegan. Just a little bit of information on what your body requires.

Don't act like I'm being defensive because your ignorance is indefensible. Everything I have said has been typed-out and intented in a calm manner.

Like I said, Humans are omnivores(sp?). This is a damn good reason for incisors and canine teeth. Obviously living as a nomad would make a vegan diet rather difficult. Meat does supply a lot of protein, amino acids and what-not. It also supplies a lot of cholesteral, bacteria, and now-a-days an array of pesticides, growth hormones, and anti-biotics.

Punkonjunk: you obviously support the idea that meat provides dietary necessities not available through vegan diet but you don't mention what. Fairytales don't make good arguements.

Atkins Diet is a fad diet. One that will kill you. Dr. Atkins had how many by-pass surgeries? The comparison to a vegan diet is a shallow one.

Eating a vegan diet has been proven to repair damage of heart disease. No medication, just a diet change. Hempseed provides protein, all the amino-acids your body requires in the proportions it requires and does so without cholesteral, rediculously high amounts of bacteria, pesticides, hormones, and the risk of mad cow disease. It can also be grown to create a surplus for the fucking world. As we all know, Pot'll grow anywhere.

Meat is still an important part of our diet though. It was a big factor in making us who we are today. We needed meat to develop large brains and hunting was the reason we needed to become so intelligent.

Boy did that backfire! I guess all those chemicals are reverse-evolving our species back to the middle ages.

I eat well. A vegan diet supplemented with additional meats couldn't be LESS healthy than a purely vegan diet, surely? I would go so far as to say it may be more healthy.

whoa whoa whoa... again, you're getting very defensive. You say I'm calling on a fairytale because I fail to have some information, yet you completely ignored a number of points in my arguement.
You know what else has a rediculously high amount of bacteria? My intestines. If meat is cooked correctly, almost all the bacteria dies. 😞
And uh.. show me the last documented human mad cow disease case. Seriously. That... doesn't really happen. Not anymore.

And I did not say that I support the idea that a meat-laden diet is the only way to go, just that most vegetarians fail to supplement their diets with a replacement.

I also stated that purely organic foods, even organic, or free-range beef is a healthier choice - I don't see how you could argue with that. Our bodies have been able to digest meat through a milenia of evolution, what makes you think you're distaste for it proves that no person should eat it?

I honestly think you're the one being blatantly ignorant. I'm only knocking on people who are assholes... like you're being. Not quiet, cute, "it's a personal thing" Vegs/vegans.

Calm down. Jesus. I like burgers. you do not. I don't think my arguement really fails to adress anything at all - if it does, be more specific.

You assume too much.
