Dude, give it a rest.
Our however many millions of years of love of meat don't come from the propaganda of any meat industry which has only been around for a second of that time frame.
It comes because meat is AWESOME! Packed full of goodies and tastes good too. Moreover, you feel full when you eat it.
Vegetables? They're okay but they taste like a mouthful of almost nothing, you have to eat more to make yourself feel full, and they give you gas. Just look at all the methane produced by cows.
If you want to eat a meat-free diet...more power to you. Telling us we've been duped all-along by the meat industry? That's a stretch. :coffeepap:
You do have to consider his handle is Militant Vegan, that's his thing. No reason to get upset by it. I'm a meat eater too. but hey we can like veggies as well.
There's a distinct advantage to being omnivores. Of course, meat is preferable, giving high protein per unit mass, but it's much more difficult to acquire whereas produce just grows in the dirt and doesn't actively resist consumptionthroughout the entire history of man, we have eaten meat... and,well, everything else.
for as long as humans are in existence, we will eat meat... .and, well, everything else.
the end.

hey, thanks SocialD
Your welcome. You are persistent about it.. lowering or stopping eating meat. but your not an ass about it. Some of the others haven't been as kind back.
I personally think its very difficult to be purely vegan or even vegetarian and be healthy.. not impossible but very difficult.
But I also know most of us could benefit from eating more veggies. this country has too many fat asses and I have to admit I don't recall every meeting a fat vegetarian.
He has been an ass about it. When he joined he was rude and wished death on others. His recent suspension appears to have taught him a lesson. Most of us? How do you know so much about the eating habits of everybody?
Oh come now you know very well 'most of us' certainly applies. it isn't hard to find data on what the average person eats.. it isn't hard to see it for yourself every day at work , or how many people are lined up at the burger drive throughs etc...
im sometimes one of them.
As someone disease-free, over 40, and a meat-eater, your characterization is laughable. Contrarily, we can go veggie, lose hair and suffer diminished mental capacity due to lack of protein while living in a foppish "demolition man" type dysyopia. Your choice.these days we don't have to settle on living to 40 and getting diseases, we can eat less or no meat and live much longer and healthier

• Humans are omnivores. Our meat addiction is due to being omnivores and wanting a variety of foods including plant and animal product.
• Our ancestors killed animals, ate them, and decided they tasted very good. They didn't say "I can make a mint off of animals!"
• Watch the movie King Corn some time for a real conspiracy.
Since you neglected to cite your research for living longer on a vegetarian diet, here is an interesting piece:
Life Extension News: Do Vegetarians Live Longer than Meat Eaters?
Lobbyists, contributions, subsidies, PR, advertising: Beef is what's for dinner because we're well-conditioned
Excerpted from "Meathooked: The History and Science of Our 2.5-Million-Year Obsession with Meat"
Sleek seems like a good word to describe the offices of the National Chicken Council (NCC) in Washington, D.C. The sleekness begins on the street. The building at 1152 Fifteenth Street, which houses the NCC, is ultramodern, enclosed in glass, with a lavish lobby that echoes my footsteps as I walk in. Up on the fourth floor, I’m greeted by NCC’s senior vice president Bill Roenigk—a jovial man who looks exactly like a “Bill.” Roenigk leads me into a conference room where we sit at a large, oval table.
The NCC, just like its beef and pork equivalents (the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and the National Pork Board), is a trade association of meat producers. These organizations protect the interests of the industry, deal with PR crises, lobby the government, and arrange marketing campaigns. But at its core, their goal is rather simple: make sure Americans buy as much chicken, beef, and pork as possible. In other countries, similar organizations exist: the British Meat Processors Association, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, and so on. Such organizations, together with powerful meat companies such as Tyson Foods or JBS, spend billions of dollars a year on lobbying and promotion so that we don’t lose our appetites for animal protein. Some researchers argue that increasing meat consumption around the globe, the U.S. included, is not demand driven but supply driven:
lol that salon article inside the secrets of Big Meat lol that sounds like some of that junk mail trying to sell you enlargement pills hehe
Laughable indeed. All meat eaters die when they get to the age of forty.:lamo
