The smartest animals in nature are usually either carnivores or omnivores. I can pretty much guarantee you that we didn't develop such a large, complex brain by eating tofu. The reason we're built the way we are is cuz we evolved from apes. And if you think we're not built like predators, well we certainly aren't built like grazers. We weren't always at the top of the food chain, but we sure as hell were never at the bottom. BTW, our close homonid cousins, the Neanderthals, had a diet that consisted of about 80% meat.

ok i should add that i never argued against any of this first of all. im talkin about our place in the food chain and using this as argument, and i do not think we arent build as predators, i know we arent so we werent always on top like you said your self so there we agree. but i find it idiotic when people use the food chain as argument since shoppin a steak in a grocery store that are made from a animal breedet by some farmer has nothing to do with hature really

but i think this forcing thing goes both ways in this debate. ive experienced on resturant when i have pointet out the importance that i cant have milk, to take that example, in my food ive gotten in response no problem. but there has still been milk in the food. how is that for violating others rights not to eat milk products.

healthy food isnt expencive at all if you care to make your own food instead. its cheap and fast yeah and the whole concept is based on peoples laziness

^^^ very true. It's all about bulk grains from places like Whole Foods. You can get (as most Shroomery people know lol) a ten pound bag of bulk organic brown rice for less than $10. Just use that as a staple & build your meals from that. You'd be well-fed for weeks if you spend a little time a learn a few recipes

we are the only ones that does that. i dont see anyone hunting in nature to get food just for sport.

food chain is to keep a somewhat balance in nature also, i dont see how we contribute to that balance either. since we have technology and no natural enemies because of that we do pretty much what we want with any animal\plants.

Boo fucking hoo. I've ordered burgers before where I specifically said no lettuce and they give me lettuce. How's that for violating my right not to eat lettuce?

I definately would, just because it feels healthier.

Key word being "feels".

I have a hard time believing that it's healthier to be a vegan. The key is moderation.

Oh, and I've been trying to become a vegetarian myself for a few weeks now. I went a week without eating any meat until I accidently ate some chicken. If I could know how to become a vegetarian and stick to it, I definately would, just because it feels healthier.

Whenever you pick something up, think "would a nomadic human living in a forest eat this?"

Fish, Fowl, Eggs, Veggies(lots of dark green veggies), fruits, whole grains, nuts, and beans. Try to avoid foods based on refined flours, and sugars, and keep dairy intake low. Try to eat things uncooked when possible. Mix this all up and you'll have nothing to worry about.

(I'm not a nutritionalist, and this is just my opinion)
