Do You Have to Vegetarian?
Do you have to be vegetarian or vegan to be considered an environmentalist? I mean, there probably many people out there who truly care about the environment a lot, and would buy cars that don't hurt the environment as much, and plant trees, celebrate Earth Day, and be so involved in the environmen ...
Why don't you drink milk or eat cheese?
Right, but I'm sure that the milk industry doesn't just let the calf die. If the calf die they loose money and starving a calf is against the law. So the milk that is on the market is not needed by the calf ...
vegetarian during pregnancy
generally, i wanted feedback from anyone: mother or father who is raising a vegan family from birth. are doctors advising to go vegan thru pregnancy, or are there concerns? i would imagine there have been articles in the major magazines on the "pregnancy while vegan" topic, but I haven't subscrib ...

Morality of killing animals and plants
Hi, I'm not a vegitarian, but have been considering vegitarianism for the past year. I generally don't eat much meat for health and environmental reasons, but ethical reasons are the ones that would make me give it up completely, and I haven't been persuaded as I want to. I do agree that slaughterh ...
Wild game vs domestic meat?
I prefer to feed my family venison or wild game that I harvest as opposed to store bought meat. I also raise my own chickens, lamb and rabbits for food. This way I know that everything my family eat is healthy and natural. We also have a very large garden and eat fresh vegetables all summer long. W ...

The etichs of eating meat
Life is something good. Life is something that we shall take care of. I see the raising of cattle and other animals as a symbios between two species. We give them life, a so good life we can offer. We give them food shelter medication care. The animals give us their meat. (These animals get s ...
We must kill to live
In discussions with those who eat meat, I am often told that if anything more animals are killed by the pesticides and other farming methods that produce vegetables than the amount of people fed by one individual animal being slaughtered. They argue that mathematically I am killing more lives th ...

Militant anti-veg
So actually a kind of good friend of mine constantly teases me about my veganism.... I mean, we're 19 and 20 years old. That's sad. How can I get him to shut up? I'm firm in my beliefs, but it really hurts me that he's so obsessed with poking fun of it. ...
Vegetarianism and Cancer
An analytical study into the relationship between current diet and breast cancer risk was published in 1994. When breast cancer rates and meat and fruit intakes were compared, both were similar in the under-fifties. However, in women over fifty, eating more meat reduced the incidence of breast canc ...
But Isn't Vegetarianism Healthier?
Many people become vegetarians because they believe that such a lifestyle is healthier, particularly in terms of heart disease and cancer. They believe that an intake of meat, and particularly animal fat, will shorten their lives. As evidence of this, a study of largely vegetarian Seventh-Day A ...
Vegetarianism - A Form Of Child Abuse
All the nutrients that the body needs other than vitamin B-12 can be obtained from vegetable sources if extreme care is taken. However, the availability of some of them to the body is often adversely affected by the special characteristics of a strictly vegetarian diet (18). Nutrients so affect ...

Vegetarianism And Militancy
Have you noticed the increasing numbers of occasions when small groups of very militant people demonstrate against all sorts of things: animal experiments, butchers' shops, new roads, footpaths, nuclear power stations, civil rights, homosexuals' rights or anybody else's rights. The odds are that th ...
The Meat Vitamin: B-12
The most important deficiency for the vegan is of vitamin B-12. By definition vitamin B-12 is essential to human life. It is essential for the synthesis of nucleic acids, the maintenance of the myelin sheath (the insulation around nerves which when damaged causes Multiple Sclerosis); indeed its pre ...
Previously Rare Diseases
During The Past Century There Have Been Dramatic Rises In A Number Of Previously Rare Diseases. These include heart disease, cancers, diabetes, peptic ulcers, tooth decay, constipation and obesity. Although dietary fat is blamed for many of them, a half century of research has failed consistent ...
The Diet Revolutions (11)
About 9,000 years ago our ancestors started to domesticate wild grasses. From these we get the cereals we know today: wheat, barley, maize, rice. We could not eat them directly as the starch molecule is too large for our digestive process to cope with. It had to be broken down first by cooking. ...
'Homo carnivorus'
There is no doubt whatsoever that we cannot be a vegetarian species. From at least the time that Homo erectus appeared in the cold Eurasian continent some 500,000 years ago, we must have lived on and adapted to a diet almost exclusively of meat. All this evidence points to our being pure carniv ...
Toxicity Of Raw Vegetables
The second investigation (10) concerned the inedibility of many of today's plant foods in the raw state. Beans and other legumes although rich in both carbohydrate and protein, also contain a repellent called protease that must be broken down by cooking, and cooking for a long time, before they can ...
Which, If Any, Is Our Natural Diet As A Species?
The first evidence lies in the fossil sites. Where hominid remains are found, so also are animal bones - at times in their thousands. If we were not meat-eaters, why is that? Secondly, although modern hunting tribes do eat plants, they have fire. Without it, there are very few plant foods with ...
We Are Not A Vegetarian Species
Vegetarianism is unnatural. This is not a modern finding. The Bible gives us evidence of this, and clues that vegetarianism was not regarded with favor. In Genesis , Chapter Four, Eve bears Cain and Abel. 'And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.' That 'but' in t ...
The Killing Of Animals For Food Is Not Morally Wrong
A question frequently posed by vegetarians is: how can you justify killing an innocent animal for food? This question may seem difficult to answer at first but really it is not. Would it be reasonable to ask a lion to justify his killing of an innocent gazelle? Of course not: it is natural for ...
A Fishy Problem
For many lacto-ovo-vegetarians, the killing of animals is a problem. On moral grounds some are tending to change to eating fish - although the logic whereby the killing of fish is considered correct if the killing of land animals is not, escapes me. They are encouraged in this change by the bel ...
Animal Farming Is An Efficient Use Of Land
The human population of this planet is now approaching six billion and, even if every country on Earth enforced a strict and effective birth-control policy today, it is estimated that the total population will climb to fifteen billion before stabilizing. The Earth's total land area is 179,941,2 ...

But plants are also live?
Often when I'm talking with nonveggies they tell me that "plants are also live" and I'm killing them when eating them. I'm usually answering that plants don't have nervous system.
Do you know a better answer?
