By removing options, you limit variety by definition. Ergo, an omnivorous diet has LESS variety than an all veggie one.

And the second quoted sentence makes absolutely no sense whatsover. Being omnivorous doesn't prevent you from eating the "more different vegetables", nor is it a reason to be a veggie.

Way to have a cause you believe in, John.

[JohnT]

Yeah, Logic and Common Sense is the ONLY cause I believe in.

Btw, sorry about your book losing the SF vote. It'll get renominated next month, though.

At least tuna and other whitefish is good for for you

I figure if I wouldn't have a problem killing it myself, then I'll eat it. Fish and chicken Cows and pigs

Im 90% veggie anyway because I have a real problem with the way animals are treated in those factory farms.

That's only because you haven't tried enough.

I think I've tried to much

The good thing is that by now I can figure out if a vegetable is eatable or not simply by smelling and touching it and I don't have to put nasty stuff in my mouth anymore

Tomatoes are a fruit.

Not a veggie, because I love meat.

couldn't say it better myself, Spiff.

Humans can survive well without meat. Proto-humans weren't hunters until Homo erectus was around. We mostly lived on nuts, fruits and veggies until we discovered fire.

[Gangerolf]

this seems like the right place to ask: are bananas berries?

I've heard that a lot of times but it just doesn't sound right.


btw, I'm a meat eater and proud of it. My goal in life is to taste as many different animals as possible.

[Az]

AFAIK, bananas are NOT berries, but I cannot say for sure.

I'm pro-meat, but am beginning to have doubts.

I drive alot for my new job, and occasionally I drive past a "Pork Plant" in the middle of central Illinois (U.S.). The plant consists of about 16-20 gigantic shiny metal silos, with pipes connecting the tops of the silos to each other. I am assuming it is a rendering plant of some kind, although I'm not quite sure what rendering means.

Just driving past it makes me think twice about eating anything that contains processed pork.

I think Homer once asked:

If we weren't suppose to eat it than why did they make it taste so good?

Meat is Good. I got 1/3 of a cow and 1/2 of a pig in my freezer right now, and I am salavating just think about it.

I have been to ranches and have seen how the animals live, die, and get to my plate... hasn't changed my mind.

I want some pig right now in fact.

[Gatekeeper]

I eat a little bit of everything. Balanced diets keep the doctor away (and pleased with one's weight loss).

Source?

Chimpanzees hunt. I can easily believe that the Australopithecus genus hunted, with the exception of Robustus (an evolutionary dead end. Add it up), and probably Ramapithecus too.

Yup. We probably lived mainly on vegetables and insects, but I bet we never passed up good meat when it arrived.

Personally speaking, if it can't climb out of a bucket I'll eat it.
