My neighbor is 92 years old, eats only farm raises meat and grows his own veggies, drinks like a fish. Healthiest man above 75 I've ever met. Tends to his garden every morning. You have to take all factors into consideration when making such statements, otherwise you would be willingly ignorant.

i don't see why people hate on vegetarians so much, i'm thinking of cutting back drastically (but not entirely on meat) since as a whole most people eat way too much meat. I know several vegetarians (and a few vegans) who you'd never suspect as vegetarians from looking or talking with them. Only a small portion of vegetarians are PETA nutcases yet the entire group is treated like crap by so many people because of it, and one of the vegetarians i know has to eat vegetarian because of health reasons. I personally think that eating less meat would always be a benefit for someone given portion and amounts eaten, though it is an important food item for humans and it would be unwise to cut it out entirely

people hate on vegans cause they think there better than everyone. they preach there ways like its a religion or something. id rather choke on chicken wing from wingstop and die at 40 with a smile on my face than eat hummice. fowl! nice leather shoes btw and couch, and interior of your car, and fanny packs, purses, handbags, womens makeup....
 
Yes, I agree. I'm prone to vegetarian-bashing and I do apologize. It's actually amazing how much we paleo folk and vegans have in common. We ought to be banding together and voting out big agra with our dollar instead of fighting among ourselves. I might eat a little meat every day, but I also eat mountains of veggies on a regular basis, too! Right now I'm having an okinawan sweet potato soup with onions, mushrooms, tallow, bone broth and spices + herbs. It tastes like heaven and the only animal in is is the tallow, bone broth and a few chunks of bacon fat I was too full to eat. I've lost 50 pounds eating this way, have the abs I always thought were impossible, can do 20 clapping chin-ups, one-armed chin-ups, 40 pushups in one set (and still increasing!). I mean, I have the body of an athletic teenager and I'm thirty! At 25 I was a 215, muscle-less doughboy. Primal Blueprint and Weston A. Price have fixed my ill body. I cannot speak highly enough of the idea to feed people the things that people ate in the wild.

see what i mean, maybe 5 percent at most vegetarians and vegans are like that if not less. And just to clarify i am not a vegetarian, I am planning on cutting back on meat consumption. It annoys me when those 5% are used as a basis for the entire group. One of my vegetarian friends lost the ability to digest certain proteins and as a result cannot eat meat, though he can still eat eggs, not certain on dairy. He could care less about animal rights movements and what other people eat but a few people have gotten vocal with him when he said he was a vegetarian before even hearing his reason. Does this make him worthwhile to bash like the supremest idiots. i agree some vegan need to learn to hold their tongue and respect other peoples habits and beliefs but it is just as true, if not more so for people who eat meat bashing on vegetarians.
 
Did I miss something or are the only good vegan items cookies?

HA! A cow feed family of four for a year? Don't make me laugh bones make up 40% of a cows body weight. Lets Not forget all the trim off fat 5%, and organs 30%, blood 10%, lets see cows get 2000lbs but that takes 25 years of growth. Therefore the average weight of a slaughtered cow is 600lbs divided by trimmings (85%) and u have maybe 90lbs of meat. How exactly do u keep meat in the fridge for a year? It would be spoiled in a month. The average male consumes 5lbs of food daily. Now lets see 5lbs x a family of four is Oh maybe 20lbs a day. That massive cow only lasts 4-5 days nice try.
Entirely 100% not true in any way possible. First look at your dentition and compare it to a cat. Notice a difference? Yep that's right humans are naturally omnivorous, cats are carnivorous. Omnivorous animals generally eat 99% veggies like tortoises but with the occassional snail or fly. Vegans are actually so much healthier than people that eat meat their hasn't been a SINGLE documented case of heart disease, cancer, stroke, or absolutely any disease related to diet In vegans EVER! Btw diet related diseases make up 68% of every disease. In fact the average vegan only sleeps 6 hours a day! Vegans are SO much more energetic their 80% more likely to live past 75 years old. Vegans are SO MUCH healthier than meat eaters words cannot explain the difference. If it could it would be the difference between mt everest peak and the mariana trench.
Btw did u know that the vast majority of models (~70%) are vegetarian. Eating veggies but no meats. Why in the hell would we get our veggies grown from the wild? Your argument makes no sense, we would replace the vacant meat slaughterhouses with farms. They would not need any more land, simply take over the old meat/cattle land. Therefore taking up no more space. Yeah your right it IS really easy to spot a veagan. The healthy, muscle rich people. Veagans have more energy. Veagans have much stronger bones. DID YOU KNOW OUR ANCESTOR, THE APE WITH 98% OF OUR DNA EATS EUCALYPTUS? Did you know for the past 30,000 years up until 300 years ago people have always eaten veggies? I bet you didn't know its actually impossible, without question never been a case to get fat being true veagan? Did you know the average veagan lives almost twice as long as meat eaters? Ever wonder why their hasn't been a single predatory species live past 50 years? And why tortoises can live almost 400 years old? I bet u can figure that one out. It has to do with animal protein.

Personally I rather live a life of a big cat(10 years on the average) than 400 years of a tortoise.

i dont bash vegiies or vegans. i have my food preferences and voice them when somebody wants to tell me what to eat or judges me cause im an "animal killer" if people want to eat only veggies thats great for them! just dont like being put on blast for loving a cold cut combo from subway. and veggies are way more low keyed than vegans. thats like a cult or something. and whyyy does somebodys diet cause soo much chaos? really we as people have way more important things to worry about.
