Moron. 🙄I know what I'm talking about. I do agree that a well balanced meal including proteins are beneficial. Okay, then meat, better? But that's not the way most people live. Less meat is better. Way less meat. I'm not talking likes and dislikes in your food. I'm talking about how your body metabolizes it. BTW I am not a vegan anymore. It was too difficult, but in the end I was able to rid myself of some health problems. It's kind of a detoxing diet.
Also, I have nothing against others for what they eat. I just steal bites......eat

I still think that it was fish that was the most common protein along with insects as the article mentions.My conclusion of the article is that yes, we are omnivores, of course. Plants and fish fish fish to maintain good health.
You can assimilate fish better than any other animal protein. Beef, lamb (yummy), pork, chicken are all great, but they are harder on your organs to digest
Umm, yeah,
It looks like Robtard did a great job in clearing things up on the whole "meat eating" thing so I don't think I have to go there. But there is a reasons why those other human like species became extinct and we didn’t.
On the other hand, our modern food availability and knowledge allows people to successfully become vegetarians.
But anyway,
When you say "assimilate", are you referring to bioavailability? Because that is a true measure of how well something can be "assimilated". If that is the case, other that hydrolysated whey protein, egg whites are the only other thing with a bio availability of 1 that I am aware of.
From what I have seen, I think bioavailability is higher in meat than in plants. One reason is humans cannot digest cellulose...one of the most abundant polysaccharide in plants. (We lack the enzyme necessary to break the beta linkages between the glucose molecules to make the large molecule usable, unfortunately.)

No, he was comfortable being like he was, though he didn't appreciate it when I used to point at his rotund belly and then show him my stomach, arms, chest whenever he went on a "meat is bad; meat will kill you, humans aren't designed to eat meat" vegan-idiot rant.

He sounds like such a hypocrite! I mean fat people can NOT lecture about food, I'vbe had to listen to it, it sounds like utter pants because you know they're so wrong because if they knew so much about food then how are they so fat? (sorry little ot rant!)

No, I didn't see it as hypocrisy, he wasn't judging the amount of food I was eating, merely that I was eating meat and he thinks meat is "bad to eat". If anything he was a fool, because he was basing his "no meat" stance of flawed information and biases.
As far as his "fatness", he wasn't obese; just had a big gut and I think a lot of that gut was just genetics, he could have lost some with a small change in diet I think. For him to be thin, it was have taken a large lifestyle change though.
Okay here's another little point. People seem to base out teeth on what is most beneficial for us. Most of our teeth are those of herbivores. There are only a small amount that are would be contribute eto carnivores...so, we are omnivores....and this I agree, but with most of our teeth, we should eat only small amouts of meats as our teeth are telling of this. Lets say we do what our teeth tells us to eat. It is a fact that we shouldn't be eating much meat. Agreed?
Originally posted by RobtardThat's what I meant! 😄 Because fat people chose to be/stay fat so therefore as they obviously have never attempted eating healthily and cannot lecture on healthy food. But paralysis is not a choice
Being overweight is due to lifestyle choice many a time and not something that can't be controlled like paralysis, think that was the angle 'Miss Swan' was going with.
(and a paralysied person will probably know a lot more about nervous systems than an average human anyway!)

You know what, I am reluctant to say this, but here it goes. Sometimes, women who are overweight aren't "encouraged" to lose weight by other women who are smaller, why? b/c that's extra competition, if you only have a hand full of competitors and you already have a tough time finding and keeping a man, why on earth would women in that 9 or 10 category want more on the top? And as crazZzy as this sounds, some women are encouraged to GAIN weight b/c she's a threat or an IMAGINED threat, either by other women who are smaller and can't believe that men are looking her way (and those women can be overweight, skinny, fit, married, divorced...aka jealous and want to snuff out the imagined "competition"😉.
So, it's not just that some overweight women are "letting themselves" go, others are just discouraged to lose weight (or improve their looks) so that they'll be less competition, it's dog eat dog with some folks. Remember that silly teen movie "Mean Girls" in which she (L.L.) plays a cute teen with "potential" and as soon as she upped her style and accented her body, she moved up the social class and dated the "star" guy, and the lady playing interference didn't even want that guy, she was just jealous of someone taking "her" spotlight with anybody? And even redated him just to keep LL away from him. It's high school all over again when it comes to dating, no matter what age, it's still that petty competition and interference games. So, I doubt overweight women get encouraged to improve themselves for fear of competition, and some women play interference simply b/c they can. Too bad that kind of stuff doesn't only happen in the movies.
