You failed to add "and are much more likely to believe in the global warming scam."

Sorry, I didn't notice your comment before I posted. You hit the nail square in the head, as did other comments on this thread.

Much obliged.

Another study found that those that don't eat red meat were more likely to result in brain shrinkage.

Not really. A lot of vegetarians do it for religious purposes.

Fatty foods are good for you. Meat, butter, milk....

People aren't fat because of fatty foods. They're fat because of sugar and wheat.

Not true, those 2 substances have been around for hundreds of years, people are fat due to over consumption and lack of calorie burning activity or strenuous activity. My ancestors were farmers and ate tons of bread and desserts, jams and jellies but they worked their ass off every day and strong as an ox and healthy as a horse.

...and lack of exercise, and eating too-large portions of pretty much everything

A lot of Muslims kill, rape, and cut people's heads off for religious purposes also. What's your point? Oh wait, Islam is a cult as is being a vegetarian.

Honey, this article has nothing to do with your point. Muslims are generally not veg... Hindus are.. but again.. this bears no relevance to this article.

What religion forbids a human eating meat? What religion teaches humans, to deny what they are?

Buddhists; Jains.

Buddhist do not condemn meat eating they believe to lead meat eating is below the ideal. Religious monks and nuns are strict vegetarians’.

A technicality. Religious are vegetarians. The others make shift as they can, but the results of eating meat - and therefore killing animals - is some bad karma resulting in reincarnation. There is a definite negative value placed upon it.

Oh, and Vulcans.

Good for them, but they're still omnivores.

we are physically not made anywhere near what a carnivore or ominvore, comparitivly we match up with herbivores.

Selfless, I am afraid you are in error. We do hot have long intestinal tracks like bovine; we do not have huge bellies like cows. Look at healthy, naturally thin males and females. Instead, we gave up the bellies of our Hominoidea-friends to feed the development of our huge hungry brains so concentrated calories that could sustain us over days was necessary for our pursuits. But even our mentioned closer relatives eat meat when obtainable.

Our intestinal tracks are more in line with wolves and other carnivores; wolves and dogs can lead omnivore lives but do best on a carnivorous diet; ageing dogs fed on commercial carbohydrate foods suffer degenerative diseases and cancers similar to the progression of age in our species when on the wrong diet.

We do not agitate our teeth from side to side—it is quite hard to do. We do not need to constantly be eating, as bovine do and as vegans must do throughout their day. We have claws, not hooves, the remnants of canines and as said before, our molars are for crushing, not grinding our foods. We can consume chunks of meat and do not have to mash them. We can crush soft interiors of bones to get calcium and nutritious bone marrows to super feed our brains.

Our bowels work best when we avoid concentrated carbohydrate foods that ferment and cause gas and inflammation in our intestines. Neither the body nor the faeces smell when carbohydrates are not eaten in high sugar forms. The faeces also deteriorate very quickly when a carnivore diet is followed, as in ‘a day or so’ depending on climate and tend not to putrefy in the open, but quickly dry out leaving much less material behind. Vegan and vegetarian faeces will take many weeks to months to disintegrate, and they putrefy during the duration. Attending a vegan symposium is not a pleasant experience to the nose.

The list goes on and on but of course, politics enters the discussion and vegans and vegetarians are very good at cherry picking whilst we carnivores just come to terms with the fat and meat necessary to feed our hungry brains, forty per cent of our energy needs.

Indeed, but conscientiously not practising ones.

Solly G, Buddhists, definitely are not forbidden from eating meat. The Buddha said to avoid killing. Eating meat that you have not killed is your choice. Vegetarian diets were and are followed by some but there are no sanctions against eating animal products. Even the Dalai Lama found a vegetarian diet detrimental to his health. He now eats meat every other day, vegetarian on the other days.

Buddhism, by the way, is not a religion. It is a spiritual way of life, a spiritual philosophy leading to caring and self-improvement.

addendum: Must add on to idea of karma—the spirit may be magnetic (very likely) and therefore karma and rebirth go on forever as we experience all natures of life. I have been eaten and have eaten what were once my brethren. Justice in killing of meat took a turn to the deplorable, ever since our physics accepted the crazy idea of the mechanistic universe. But this deplorable adaptation is coming to an end and then the horrors we do to animals will come to an end.

As a founding member of PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals) I aprovet his article.

I hear ya, my wife is cooking King Ranch Chicken and homemade rolls right now.

Could your wife make me some also.

The Jews and Christians believe that in paradise, there will be no more eating meat ... and that we were originally created to be vegetarians. While it isn't forbidden at this time, it will end. So there's that.

Where does the Bible say people will not eat meat?

humans are natural carnivores? compare your teeth, claws, digestive system, and ability to run down and kill prey (with your feet and hands) to an actual carnivore and tell me how alike we are to them.

Humans are omnivores, the best of both worlds.

Seventh Day Adventists.

I'm a Christian and I don't eat meat for religious purposes. I wonder if these people have ever heard of the Blue Zones. This study is a crock.

A big crock of meat, slowly cooking in its own juices, with 20 or so spices and when the time is right we will eat that whole crock of meat!

No, whats a crock is beliefs that deny 1000's of years of observational data and physiological evidence. You ever wonder what the purpose of bile is? For breaking down carbs or cellulose? Go take a freshman level physiology and an anatomy course.

Being a meat eater or vegetarian really has little to do with Christianity (based on my opinion and understandings). Jesus him self ate fish and the bible does state you can eat meat even bacon after they fixed the feet on bacon! :)

I knew this day would come so, this means i'm a head of the game.

This makes sense. I recommend the movie Fathead. It is a direct refutation of "Super Size Me". In it, the filmmaker documents where our current diet comes from. Basically, it was foisted upon us by vegetarians, of whom the CSPI is the biggest offender.

That is covered under the mental health issues... :)

My first thought also.

I believe we are Still omnivores, correct? If so, it stands to reason that a mixed diet is better for us, and the opposite for omitting one type of food. Duuh!

As the author, yep. Can you show me any statistical significant increase in global warming since 1995?

Perfect. Go vegan, protest something, crap in the street. The Church of Global Warming is part of the Religion of the Left. Savage ghouls.

I am a veggie, right-wing and quite healthy. What the hell is wrong with me!!!

God or Nature (whichever you accept) made humans omnivores for a reason. Our extremely large (in proportion) brains require massive amounts of high quality proteins. Just because you can get by without meat doesn't mean it is good for a human not to eat any. If you don't get enough high quality animal protein, your brain is being starved.

Short answer is no.

No

Wow you've done a fantastic job supporting your view on the matter with evidence and explanation. I just can't get over the detail you provided me to help understand how you feel about it. I bet you've really done your research and taken college level environmental science classes.

PHD actually and the short answer is still no.

I wish I was possible to give you more than one like.

Wow. A PHD who can't spell PhD.

You're right a PhD is a college degree. A PHD is a simple camera that you only need to push one button to work. It means Push Here Dummy. In my case the dummy's button I was pushing was sararhelib. The man made global warming folks don't know how to answer when you don;t play by their rules.
