Amino acids is an interesting point.Thanks for bringing it.

Agreed. Even for those who dislike meat, they should eat cheese and yogurt and probably even a few eggs from time to time. A vegan diet is not suitable for the human animal in the long run, although with care it can be maintained for a while. In time the deficiencies will manifest.

take care.

Yes quite true... and that applies to medications as well, something I have noticed doctors seem to ignore.... You will see a prescription filled for a small frail old lady being the same as a 6 ft 280 lbs 30 year old body builder

Same dosage... no regards to age, body type, absorption etc...

Same for food... cravings help... its your body telling you what you need. Another big mistake many make (especially here in Vegas Land of the Buffet) is mixing too many foods in one meal. This can cause weird reactions.

They also discovered that calcium is absorbed by the body better in the presence of vitamin C and have now added Calcium to orange juice

We are basically a chemical factory :biggrin2:

Market does weird things too like the VC from Acerola cherries is better than the VC from oranges Pure Ascorbic acid is the same no matter where its extracted from...

Re: 10 Reasons to Stop Eating Beef (and other Fast Food)

Sure, we can stop eating beef.

But, then what?

How do you convince people who aren't fond of veggies or legumes to suddenly start eating both?

Sure, if you consider how the llluminati feels towards humans.

(bad joke there)

Seriously, there isn't enough motivation to eat healthy or lose weight out there. I lost weight 3 years ago, wasn't able to maintain it and gained it all back. Blah.

Ok. But if Magnesium is absent, Calcium cannot be properly absorbed.
It seems that people in industrialised countries are in a deficit of this mineral.

There is a fragile equilibrium at play here, between these 2 elements.

I dont buy that either. I mean can you imagine trying to explain that to a Native American Indian who lived on buffalo - and telling them that they could be more spiritual if they ate veggies instead!

A..

Re: 10 Reasons to Stop Eating Beef (and other Fast Food)

According to the Vedas, people who meat without necessity can only make limited spiritual progress. People who have no choice and/or hunt their own meat are not affected by this, for example eskimos and native indians and they too have the highest respect for those that they must kill and established spiritual practices. I doubt this applies to the people in this forum. Outside of necessity, meat is murder and karmic reaction is certain. Its your choice.

I really regret not having committed this information to my mind more thoroughly, but know it exists that vegetarianism is not the answer to all of our problems. I was a vegetarian for nearly 10 years, vegan for six of those, and I was quite ill by the end of that time. Adding meat and dairy back to my routine brought my health back up considerably.

I do disagree with commercial farming, factory farming, etc. I eat only organic animal products. We don't need to be inhumane and unsustainable in our practice of meat consumption. No answer is as simple as vegetarian vs. meat-eater. It's far more complicated than everyone just quitting meat.

Totally agree with you and further more anyone who still insists that eating meat is bad for you, then I would remind them of all the native cultures that have been doing it for centuries and have maintained better health than us westerners. I agree that common animal farming is in most cases woeful but that by itself is not a complete argument against eating meat and I also believe that obesity has nothing at all to do with meat. Lets also not forget than for some people in some parts of the world, growing fruit and veg is near impossible due to climate. I once watched a documentary about a village of people that ate almost nothing but reindeer, they were quite healthy.

Re: 10 Reasons to Stop Eating Beef (and other Fast Food)

Here in the usa we have these inane commercial advertising campaigns focused on things like beef or milk. A slogan from one that lasted for quite a while is "Beef, It's What's for Dinner" (still going apparently)

Starting memes is a hobby of mine. Here is one that attempts to break the 'beef = dinner' mental link. It usually provokes quite a reaction from the zombies that populate mainstream internet sites.

Beef, It's What You're Programmed to Eat!™

It still gives me a chuckle
:naughty:
