Veggies

[Norcon]

Plant eating creatures are the healthiest and have longer lifespans than meat eaters.
Its also much more labour intensive and energy wasting to produce meat. Meat is a luxury. My farm produces meat. Well it did until tb and brucelosis wiped out the entire herd last year.
Most indians consume rice.

 

[Alarm]

Only because they cannot afford meat, remember there are more in poverty then faily well off.
And we are omnivores we need both.

 

[Norcon]

I don't think their big meat eaters in India. Even if they could afford it.
The cow is a revered and sacred animal in India afaik.

 

[Alarm]

Still other "meats" available, and it also depends on the region ( Cows still revered).

Wy are you a veggie? health? animal welfare? or other?

I was a veggie for a number of years...as i hate animal cruelty... but as you get older you realise you're out of this tv show within 70 years or so.... and animals don't really matter to your life... after all lions kill animals everyday !!! and will continue to do so way after you're rotting in the gound !!!

Why don't animals matter?

it depends on what level you direct your question. My comment was animals don't really matter... to our lives.... so i'm thinking we shouldn't mourn the death of every animal we come across... whereas we might with humans... tricky subject for a forum... but there's a selfishness to being alive, and animals unfortuanetly come second.

Although i certainly don't condone killing, or hurting or even distressing animals for the fun of humans...

Nope. You'll survive without meat.

For how long?

 

[Alarm]

And what quality of life?
As before veggies always seem to be ill.

 

[Norcon]

Thats a generalisation. No truth in it I would suspect.

 

[Alarm]

No, from experience of the ones I know.

MMMMMMMMMMMMM Black and White pudding is luvverly.

Too true, but White pudding is hard to get hold of. Anywhere you can recommend would be good. As for meat, ask most chefs what they think of veggies

Worth watching....

there was a Horizon documentary about the South Sea Islanders how they were infected with CJD, if i had to choose between CJD & Aides i would take Aides.

.

I remember that documentary. Wasn't the CJD passed on through cannibalism though ??

Yes the women and children were eating the brains of the deceased, but it's still the same desease.
