Uh oh...

It's not vegans, it's stupid ones. Anyone on an intelligent vegetarian diet knows about B-12 deficiency, and the non-meat food sources for it.

Engivita yeast on popcorn tastes great! It's also one of the best sources of B-12. It's good on salads as well.

Vegan diet, Vegan. Not Vegetarian, thank you.

Dis · January 31, 2003, 04:49

yes B-12 can seriously make you extremely sick or kill you if you do not take supplements. Just giving out the word for all the Vegans out there

aaglo · January 31, 2003, 04:57

This news is so old, that even my mother remembers it. Oh yes, it's about vegans, not vegetarians...

Don't forget, you can also get the B-12 from BEER!

Dis · January 31, 2003, 05:10

yes that is very good advice to mothers pregnant with child (vice being pregnant with something else

)- drink more beer.

we feed our 4 week old raw staek so he should be ok

EAT MEAT

My baby cousin is almost a vegan, and her fricking collarbone broke when a friend threw a waterbottle at her as a joke. She's a slow healer as a veggie. I don't believe vegetarian bullsh*t at all

Alex · January 31, 2003, 08:44

I hate this veggie thing. I hate vegetables.

Ok, so I don't hate vegetables. Maybe I'll die sooner than a veggie, but at least I'll die happy.

Vegetarianism is a pointless fad.

Exactly.

Want to know why gastrointestinal cancers and disorders are the most common in western countries? Meat. Same goes for the high prevalence of cardiovascular disorders.

Anyone and everyone can live quite with the absence of meat from their diet

Castrated males also tend to suffer less from hear desease, and die older.

Have you schediuled your operation already?

January 31, 2003, 10:21

The benefits of a vegetarian diet go well beyond just being heart healthy.

You can't say the same for castration.

Az · January 31, 2003, 10:23

sure you can. lower blood pressure, less cell damage due to free radicals. It's all true research.

There are also great benefits in reducing amounts of female hormones as well.

January 31, 2003, 10:32

Like I said, you can achieve the same benefits without having to lose your....ahem.

A healthy vegetarian diet also improves the metabolism and removal of toxins from your body (like the ones found in meat). Meat is obsolete.

But Meat is FAR, FAR tastier

Why live long if you don't enjoy it?

Have you ever tasted just plain, strait-off-the-cow-and-onto-your-plate meat? It doesn't taste verygood without seasoning and spices (or artifical flavouring). This is especially true for the low-grade meat you get out of factory farms. I bet your regular fast-food hamburger would taste pretty horrific if it wheren't for all the artifical flavouring they're loaded with.

The taste you love so much either comes from a plant or a test tube.

Dis · January 31, 2003, 14:20

that still doesn't change the fact plants taste like ****

That most meat gets it's taste from seasoning and spices (plants), doesn't say anything to you about how good plants can taste?

Most people's experience of vegtables are limited to things like peas and boiled cabbage that go along with their steak. If you bothered to try real, quality, vegetarian meals you wouldn't think that it all "tastes like ****".

*drool*

Provost Harrison · January 31, 2003, 16:12

I would become a vegetarian if I was still allowed steak...

...and pork chops, beef joints, lamb and chicken

Az · January 31, 2003, 16:19

I am an omnivore. I eat meat, salad leaves, fish, cabbages, potatoes, eggs, rice, grains, legumes, fruit, shrimps, caviar, maize, IT'S ALL GOOD!

diversifying your meal is great.

great food everyday, I say.

Caligastia · January 31, 2003, 16:21

Food diversity is good.

Provost Harrison · January 31, 2003, 16:23

If it once moved, I eat it

Az · January 31, 2003, 16:29

too much information.

Caligastia · January 31, 2003, 16:32

...and I'm not about to take advice on whether meat tastes good from vegetarians.

Fresh meat is the best! Especially pork chops

But aside from a bacon cheese burger and a little chicken every one in a while I stick to veggieness pretty easily, its easy to make really tasty rice/stir fry/curry dishes with no meat...

Provost Harrison · January 31, 2003, 16:54

Arse to that Boshko, I want something dead in my stir fries
