Broke 0 #76 October 27, 2005 The human body is designed to eat a balanced diet of both meat and veggies. The problem is that lately people don't have any idea on how to balance thier diets right. We need meat because our body is better designed to digest meat. We also need vegies to get everything that meat dosen't have in it. The human body has evolved to eliminate the cecome, and that makes it difficult for us to digest veggies. In animals that are supposed to live off of a strictly meat free diet they either have multiple stomachs, or a larger cecome. The cecome is supposed to house bacteria which are supposed to help break down the cell walls of veggies. If you eat raw veggies they do nothing for you because the cells of said veggie is protected by their cell walls. What do humans have in place of a cecome, well actually we have a very small cecome, but we also have atta hed to that our appendix. Our stomach uses HCL and the enzyme Pepsin to break down the protiens in meat so they can be absorbed into our bodies. Our gall bladder produces Bile to break down fats so they can be absorbed.

My bullshit meter is going off the charts on this one. I don't care how much scientific mumbo jumbo you spout, I've lived off of just raw vegies from time to time and know others who have as well, we were not malnurished, I assure you. |>.<| Seriously, W.T.F. mate?

gmittar 0 #79 October 27, 2005 QuoteAsk any biology proffessor. So basically, salad does you absolutely no good? Except the dressing? Or any meat you happen to put on it? How about carrots? Celery? Brocolli? Succini? You're saying any veggie has to be cooked to do you any good? Sorry bub, that's BS, Biology proffessor or otherwise. |>.<| Seriously, W.T.F. mate?

You're saying any veggie has to be cooked to do you any good? Now I know celery is a great calorie burner. From what I understand the body burns more calories eating and digesting a stock of celery than there are calories in the it. If this is true one could sit on there ass all day and eat celery and lose weight doing it. CSA #699 Muff #3804 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmittar 0 #81 October 27, 2005 But along with being a calorie burner, cause it has almost none, it's also got all kinds of good stuff in it that yes, you actually absorb, and rather well when the vegetable is raw. |>.<| Seriously, W.T.F. mate? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hanknotdan 0 #96 October 28, 2005 I don't expect anyone to go out and buy stuff for me to cook but I do tell them that I am a vegetarian. If they ask me to bring something of my own, I happily will and have. If they don't, and I show up and have nothing to eat, I find that to be rude. I informed them of my dietary restrictions. I also tell them that there will not be meat served when they come to my house. If they are a meatarian(I have never met someone who only eats meat but I am sure they exist) and they turn down the invitation, I would certainly understand. If they told me that they needed meat and I said ok and then didn't provide it, that would be rude on my part. The analogy I always like is my friend with a severe peanut allergy. It would be rude and potentially legally negligent to serve him something after he informed his host of the allergy. And anyone who expects him to cook with peanut oil as a host is asking too much. As far as it being "only fair"--seriously, you really consider the 2 cases to be comparable? Someone has made a deliberate choice not to kill things, and you think that they should be required to violate that to be a good host? I agree that you should be informed that the meal will be vegetarian but after that it's your choice. Just as you can choose not to cook vegetarian food so long as you tell your guests. But to equate the 2 cases is ridiculous. The reason we have a word for "fair" and a different word for "same" is because they don't mean the same thing.
