You just can't stop yourself, can you?

Also this is what the USDA says about vegetarian diets.

It goes into detail you are welcome to read, I have already been told that my long messages get boring so I will be brief and just quite the first sentence
"Vegetarian diets can meet all the recommendations for nutrients."
Thanks for that, Dinah. Someone told you your posts were boring? How sad. I think you've posted some really interesting stuff. Quality posts.

And unfortunately, I have to spread more rep around before giving it to you again. I hate that! :laugh:

:bowdown: not to mention human's digestive tracts resemble vegetarians. Wonder why meat starts to rot in our tracts? Why don't we have fangs and sharp nails? Why must we cook with fire? (to kill bacteria)

If we were ment to eat meat and you belive in god (I don't) but why does he say we are not to eat his animals?

Wesley's Notes

1:29-30 We have here the third part of the sixth day's work, which was not any new creation, but a gracious provision of food for all flesh, Psa 136:25. - Here is,
1. Food provided for man, Ge 1:29. herbs and fruits must be his meat, including corn, and all the products of the earth. And before the earth was deluged, much more before it was cursed for man's sake, its fruits no doubt, were more pleasing to the taste, and more strengthening and nourishing to the body.
2. Food provided for the beasts, Ge 1:30. Doth God take care of oxen? Yes, certainly, he provides food convenient for them; and not for oxen only that were used in his sacrifices, and man's service, but even the young lions and the young ravens are the care of his providence, they ask and have their meat from God.

King James Translators' Notes

bearing...: Heb. seeding seed

yielding...: Heb. seeding seed

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

1:29,30 Herbs and fruits must be man's food, including corn, and all the products of the earth. Let God's people cast their care upon him, and not be troubled about what they shall eat, and what they shall drink. He that feeds his birds will not starve his babes.

:

I'm sorry I should have been more accurate, just that the posts where so long they were getting skimmed rather than read fully, and the thing is that I was posting specific information so skimming is what I think was causing some confusion. And if my post create confusion rather than their intent which was to provide info then they where not helpful to the point i was trying to make

If you don't believe in god, then surely you don't believe all that fluff you just quoted??

Heck no!!! Im sterotyping.....most meat eater believe in "god":cool:

Honestly, it is down to research. Veg heads have a longer life span, it's just true. I don't care who eats meat, you can still come over for steak. I won't judge you. You just have to realize my colon cancer rate is less.
 
The thing that at least I have been trying to say (and some others I'm sure) is that you can have a well balanced diet being an omnivore, but you can also have a well balanced diet being a vegetarian. Balanced is in regard to getting the right balance of nutrients that your body needs, it does not mean that you have to be an omnivore and eat all types of foods.
This I absolutely agree with 100%. I admitted earlier that my view was skewed, and accepted the evidence that you provided for this a loooooooong time ago. I even told you that. I told you that after the very first post you made from that textbook. That's part of the reason it amuses to hear that I don't accept any evidence. I DID accept your evidence.

But that is NOT but YBH is saying. She is saying and has said repeatedly that "so many doctors" recommend a vegan diet over an omnivorous diet and this is something I just don't believe. I mean, if it was really such a significant health benefit over a balanced omnivorous, you'd think I would have heard about before now.

I have used the skim method for posts that are not directed at me, so I can totally get that perhaps some people are saying one is better than the other, but I did just want to note that is not what I am saying nor is it what I have been trying to say. And I do know you were not responding to me here or even talking about what I said, I just wanted to put that out there to you know make sure my point was clear because when I read that post about 'healthiest' it made me think that maybe I had also not been properly clear. So to sum it is not my position that one is more healthy than the other, just that implemented properly both can be healthy, balanced, and complete, and of course implemented poorly both can be devastating to a body.
And with your position, I am in full agreement.
 
Genesis 9:1-3 says: "Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall upon all of the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, now I give you everything."

Romans, Chapter 14

Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

Furthermore, if Jesus was a real advocate for vegetarianism then he would not have fed the multitude with fish. He would have used some sort of vegetable. Clearly, if he wanted people to be vegetarian or vegan he would demonstrate this by example. He clearly didn’t. Sorry, but if you are looking for compassion in the Bible towards animals, or even towards people for that matter, you won’t find that much of it.

Leviticus 11
11:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 11:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. 11:3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.


I could literally go on and on, but I think this is enough to make the point that God or god is not against eating meat. Now if you look at the deadly sins, gluttony is certainly one of them, and that's evidenced by increasingly overweight americans. You might make a case for a non-twinkie diet risking more lives than vegans or omnivores alone. Regardless, the only thing that is irking me about you Tara is that you say you're being bullied throughout this thread, but the reality is you bring it on yourself with statements like "uneducated omnivores amuse me." That's directed squarely at Chris and you know it. Chris is far from being uneducated, and he's passionate about what he believes in, and he's not once attacked you, yet you have repeatedly done so. It's hard to respect your lifestyle when you're clearly telling us how ignorant and uneducated we are. Does that make sense?
 
I seem to remember someone saying they weren't into converting people to their beliefs...

I may be delusional. I thought Lori's photo on her private page was Dean at first. Then I saw it was actually a gorilla. The two are very similar though.

When in doubt....

THIS panda likes shoots.

You're kidding me, right?

You offer little more than biased reports from doctors that tend to make or lose millions based on their "expert advice", and when it's passed as "proof", you resort to outright name calling(which I reported, by the way).

When it is stated finally and firmly by UNbiased agencies that BOTH diets are healthy if properly monitored and followed, you resport to bible translations, and support it with "most emat eaters believe in god".

And now PETA is your best friend, and I should listen to something that they have to say? Ignore everything that they have to say because they are evil and the bane of all pet owners, but they are to be trusted with vegetarian information?

You gotta be kidding. Nobody can be that insistant that their way is the only way. Tell me this is a joke, please...

If you go back and read, you'll notice that I acceopted Dinah's proof that vegan and vegetarian diet can be succesfully balanced without nutritional supplments. That was a long time ago.

See, when an open-minded adult is shown evidence that their opinion may not necessarily be accurate, they accept that, and move one. That's what I did. You are insisting, now, that vegan diets are the ONLY healthy choice. That's just ridiculous. And you can call me uneducated and ignorant all you want. It doesn't change the fact that your statement is just plain wrong...
