humans praticularly

Which of your multis are helping you on the project?

Animals (like cows) provide valuable resources to us in terms of the things we can get from them when we breed them and then, sadly, slaughter them. Leather, for example, is one of the byproducts of us obtaining meat. Leather is used to make couches, baseballs, footballs, car furniture, wallets, shoes, etc. Even lamb still produce hide that is a product. So I do think meat eating as a natural and worthwhile cause.

Lol jamiet. +1-ing yours.

Thank you for those who actually try and answer with a related comment.

You haven't actually made it clear what you want us to tell you. Do you want to know if anyone here has ever eaten human flesh?

no, is humans eating animal meat good or bad

can can run around forever on this one sir. You will never get us all to agree.

I eat meat in moderation, and only grass fed meat because of the very high Omega Fatty Acids (good ones, not bad) in it.

Mostly Fish though, some chicken, a good steak rarely.

Careful with the fish and mercury poisoning, SL.

@D33 - Too black and white a question for a grey area. There is no good or bad, just degrees of acceptable or unacceptable, unlike your cheating.

I only eat meat. Plants are for the animal I consume to eat before their butchered.

Why is it that every one of your posts is geared towards creating argument Diplomat33? None of your threads seem to be constructive and I'm pretty sure the only only reason you made that teen tournament was to get some easier competition in your games. The only reason you have not been muted is because I am curious to see your responses to Jamiet and Draugnar.

Why would it be "bad" ?

We are meat eaters by nature. Our bodies have developed to eat meat. We have canine teeth.

I think the meat industry in some countries could do with higher welfare standards, and I think that we eat too much meat in the west, which is one of the reasons we have difficulties with obesity, but the eating of meat itself is fine.

It would be better if humans in general ate less meat, both for health reasons and environmental sustainability reasons. That said, I eat meat probably 15x a week and don't plan to change. I love eating meat.

Hmm. How many times a week do I eat meat?

I generally have cereal for breakfast but once a week I have a bacon sandwich. So that's one.

I have a sandwich for lunch pretty much every day, sometimes cheese salad, but usually either prawn, tuna, or chicken salad. So that's say five times a week.

My evening meals vary and include meat or fish probably five days out of seven.

So I eat meat (including fish) on average 11 times a week.

i cant eat vegetables thats what my food eats

I am a proud vegetarian!

God/evolution/whatever made us into omnivores. That means our bodies respond best to a mixed diet of meats and veggies/fruits/grains. Our teeth are such that we can consume both (unlike a dog or cat whose teeth are oritented around meat or a cow or pig whose teeth are oriented around vegetation or a hummingbird who exclusively lives on a liquid diet). A well balanced diet of both provides the most health benefits.

What we should be arguing is artificial sweeteners versus corn syrup versus cane sugar.

I hate HFCS. I've totally dropped it from my diet. For that reason alone, I won't eat ketchup, certain brands of chocolate milk (think Hood), Sprite (but I will drink Sierra Mist Natural as that has a combination of cane sugar and beet sugar), some juices, some salad dressings, a lot of sodas, some spreads (jelly, peanut butter, cream cheese), and a whole lot of everything. I go--hopefully--all natural and try to be as organic and and as local as possible. I've literally had to go over the the head chef at my school's cafeteria to ask for the ingredient list of some stuff (sigh). Ah well. GO MOTHER NATURE AND GOOD OL' CANE SUGAR!

Good for you, acmac! There are all natural peanut butters at the grocery store and you could get Smucker's sugar free jams and preserves to go with it. Also, go hit the local farmer's markets for homemade jams, jellies, preserves and "butters" like apple or pumpkin.

^I love some of the homemade strawberry jams I can find (too bad my favorite is about 4 hours away, we stop by when we go visit our relatives in NY).

Speaking of good, sweet things....have you guys tried maple butter? I first tried it a couple years back when I went to Quebec....it is delicious. It is as good or better than maple syrup on some waffles. It's some real good stuff.

I have to agree with Draugnar, since human beings are designed to be omnivores, that is what I am. Although I probably should eat less fried chicken and more fish lol

About 20 years ago there was a guy who used to work with me who suddenly announced that he was a veggie (he hadn't been before). However, he was also on the social club committee and ended up organising the BBQ! (No, I don't know how either). As if that wasn't bad enough he put up advertising posters that referred to the different foods that would be available for "vegetarians" and "carnivores". I wasn't having that, so I put up slightly different posters that corrected the obvious inaccuracies by referred to "herbivores" and "omnivores". I also added a question (actually a quote from my favourite author) "How much intelligence does it take to sneak up on a leaf?".

He had the last laugh though - he did the shopping for the event and, when it was over there was an awful lot of veggie food left over. Guess who's freezer it all ended up in?

If we are what we eat, then are cannibals the only true humans?-Philosoraptor

@largeham - Love it!

I love vegetarians. That means more meat for me :)

Let's see. Cows eat vegetables. Cows taste really good. Vegetarians eat vegetables....

@Draugnar: Your right. The perfect food for a human has to be another human. Anything else you eat has to have more than you need of some things and less than you need of others.

*You're, not your. Sorry.

My favorite Twilight Zone episode! And inspiration for a number of ripoffs like V (both the 80s and the 00s versions).

I only eat meat when it's tastily cooked
