If this girl doesn't stop eating meat soon I might stop seeing her.

lol to much protein is not bad for your bones. all that an oversurplus could do is to affect your kidneys and thats rare.

Contradiction, contradiction.

How is that a contradiction? Sure the kidneys do help keep the bones healthy to an extent, but protein doesnt directly affect your bones is what im saying their is a middle man and thats your kidneys

Dump her if eating meat is a problem with you. If for some weird reason that never was an option then good luck trying to convert her.

I'll eat extra meat to make up for it.

 

[Gutya]

So the entire animal kingdom is guilty of cannibalism then?

Meat tastes awesome, and it provides protein to keep your weak muscles at least somewhat strong.

Because every animal eats meat.

Stop embarassing yourself, Joey.

 

[birdman]

is it a problem with all meat?

or just red meat

find out what her favorite meat is and get her to drop the others,

if she likes fishes, no cows or chickens
if she likes cows, no fishes or chickens
if she likes chickens, no fishes or cows
ect...

that way its a move in the right direction. i would also have to wonder how long you two have been together, if it hasn't been too long, i wouldn't try to get her to change anything. you really need a few months behind your belt before you can influence someones decisions directly like that. especially lifestyle changes.

I've learned and was entertained so much from this thread...

sigh. Protein in the Vegan Diet -- The Vegetarian Resource Group

most americans eat too much protein, which is bad for your bones.

What the fuck are you talking about?

 

[Slasher]

Now that I think about it, pretty much everything I eat involves meat

 

[Grimfate126]

What the fuck are you talking about?

"Taking in more animal protein than you need causes your body to convert the extra amino acids into organic acids that acidify the bloodstream. The kidneys neutralize the acidity by pushing large amounts of calcium into the urine. So both eating too much protein and too little protein cause osteoporosis."

Can someone justify why eating a plan is fine, but getting an abortion is bad if the baby isn't even like - a baby yet.

no one said abortion was bad or good. i agree, abortions are fine, but some people obviously dont. another topic, another thread

I'm going to start a new activist group. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Agriculture (PETA, not to be confused with PETA). These poor innocent plants are being enslaved by the human race as food, entertainment (Flowerbeds are EVIL!), and building materials (Log cabins aren't so nice anymore, are they?)

Although they don't have a nervous system like us, they can still feel pain.

Plant Brain: Each root apex harbours a unit of nervous system of plants. The number of root apices in the plant body is high and all brain-units are interconnected via vascular strands (plant nerves) with their polarly-transported auxin (plant neurotransmitter), to form a serial (parallel) nervous system of plants. The computational and informational capacity of this nervous system based on interconnected parallel units is predicted to be higher than that of the diffuse nervous system of lower animals, or the central nervous system of higher animals/humans.

there was this one time in my life when i was in an altered state of mind....anyways long story short, the grass was angry because i had stepped on it.

dont eat meat, dont eat plants, dont breathe - there are hundreds of microorganisms going up your nose and you may kill them, eat rocks - they have loads of iron...

But rocks are one of god's creations, what now bitch?

I can't believe how long this thread has gotten over a pretty trivial matter. :neutral:

 

[Whisper]

Freshmilk, it has nothing to do with the topic anymore. It has become a place to justify being vegan or a meat eater.

A thread to preach at the chorus.

Yeah I know, it's just I dont like meat. Im not scared of it I just genuinely dont like it.

PETA associates are psychos. Watch this vid.

I would bring my advice but since Gutya wants to be an idiot about it, than so be it. Not mention that I am a foodie.
