+Balamurugan gopalan You can try out one day a week to see how you like it. I know it's very difficult to go veggie full time. Pick one day a week to try out.
+Jendhamuni Sos Awesome post,"YOU DONT LIVE TO EAT""YOU ONLY EAT TO LIVE", prophetic,and you say you are not a poet,i beg to differ.O , and a very cute picture,thanks…..for the words of wisdom…:-)
Thank you +Michael Howell If I go to school I can become a poet. I think like one, but cannot write it professionally without taking classes. As for the post, I'm trying my best. Even if I am willing to make 5 people on g+ become a vegetarian, I will be more than happy already. It's all about sacrifice. Good deed is very hard to do, just like rolling the stone uphill, while bad deed is just the opposite…
+ariana amini-nejad I agree. Before I became a vegetarian, chicken was my favorite. But because of deep love for all lives, I gave up whatever I like just to protect animals. My parents up to now, are very disappointed with the choice I made. I would never eat those animals just to feed my cravings, when there are plenty of veggies for me to eat so I can live like the rest of human…
Human beings are omnivores. While we should eat more fruits and vegetables than animal proteins it is not healthy to be a vegetarian and especially not a vegan.
An infant/child who is fed a vegetarian diet will become malnourished and stunted.
+Viana Pixs actually science is starting to show that not everyone needs protiens from animals…they can get exactly what they need from other sources…here is a good link that you can review information on…I used to eat meat but for spiritual reasons ceased. I noticed that I was able to digest food better, felt better and didnt' have nearly the troubles I had prior. Here is just one great resource that gives information on changing from protein to plant based…also youtube is full of information on the subject. http://www.tcolincampbell.org/courses-resources/articles/ In all honesty our food chain cannot keep up at is current rate, many top thinkers have come to this conclusion and have been trying to educate the public that our food chain is on the verge of collapse. So switching now and growing your own food source is the best. This is just my own info and I don't expect everyone to agree with this either…just some info for anyone interested.
+Tracy Strickland You said it perfectly! I got more than enough protein from all kinds of nuts, beans and other veggies, such as spinach etc. Even the Omega 3, you can get from veggies and nuts….I'm one of the most healthy vegetarian alive. Thanks so much for sharing the info here.
Last I checked +Mayo Loing vegetables don't have eyes and definitely don't feel pain. Plants want to be eaten, think of how many seeds are distributed within a nice dose of fertiliser (shit) by birds and other animals (including humans if we don't use our modern sewerge system). Veganism is the way forward for so many reasons.
+Tracy Strickland My profession is science, specifically biology. You need to produce some real, bonafide scientific sources.
Where will infants get proteins if not from "animals" as in mother's milk?
No one needs the high animal protein diet that we Westerners eat, however, humans are omnivores. If we do not eat animal proteins then vitamin deficiencies ensue. While that can be corrected via vitamin supplements in a wealthy society, it is much more difficult in the poor ones.
Growing gardens is a good thing. I have been doing that all of my adult life. However, that does not eliminate the need for ocasional animal proteins for a proper, balanced diet—in particular for children.
Surely you have observed the stunted children of poor societies? A stunted body also means poor brain development!
+mookie et al Thanks so much! Well said. These two kinds of lives (animals and plants) aren't the same. Even Buddha talked about the differences also (not to be off topic)
+Anna Greer, we are not carnivorous predators at all. Go hunt yourself a wild animal with your bare hands and eat the entire thing, then argue your point! Factory farming is destroying us, the planet and enslaving animals. 70-90% of corn, wheat and soy goes to feeding factory farmed animals, while people die from starvation. Makes sense?
+mookie et al More people are fat than die from starvation!
We are INDEED omnivores who need animal proteins for proper health and development. In particular children need animal proteins and cannot live on plant foods alone or they will suffer malnutrition!
I agree factory farming is a bad thing. But, people still need animal proteins for proper health.
+Viana Pixs did you even look at the link? Before you start putting others ideas down as non "scientific" maybe you should realize that I said I stopped eating meat and had seen a HUGE difference in my life…that for me, is evidence enough. If your fine with eating meat loaded with growth hormones, antibiotics, toxins and other unnatural sources (not to mention the food sources the animals eat is not what was meant for the animals to eat (ever seen food inc.?) then go right ahead, but I'm not eating any more of that, ever. So glad you are not the decision maker for me…
I my self am on a "SEE FOOD" Diet! I SEE FOOD I EAT IT! NO Problem…berp…gulp…smirk….brain fart…..oops! BRAIN FARTS are the BIG issue!!!! They can Lead to Mental Constipation! Off to MAD TV….The JOKER is WILD & the Government is Making More? Does ANYONE REALLY Understand?! My Twinky is Bigger than Your Twinky… I would PROVE it to you….only I ATE IT!!! An't YOU Chicks LUCKY!!! NEEED MORE COFFEE!!! NEED MORE TWINKIES!!!
+Tracy Strickland and +mookie et al Thank you so much for all the info you shared. Your kindness, I will never forget. Just like quoted on the post, "I did not become a vegetarian for my health, I did it for the health of the chickens." I would rather live only ONE day as a kind and compassionate person, than live ONE HUNDRED YEARS, watching animals being tortured.
+Viana Pixs We are actually herbivores, who are adaptable. We moved to colder regions of the world thus needs to eat other things and no we don't NEED animal proteins to survive actually, there are over 67 million vegans in the world today and done right it's a tremendously healthy lifestyle choice.
Starvation may not be a problem in the Western world, but it is indeed a problem for many parts of Africa, Asia and India for example.
Also you said more people will die from being fat…well hello…ANIMAL PROTEIN!! A plant based diet is almost completely free of saturated fats (the stuff that clogs your arteries.
However, that does not negate what I posted. People, especially children NEED to consume animal proteins!
Did you read what I wrote? Again, how do you propose to keep infants and children healthy and have proper brain and body development without animal proteins? Mother's milk comes from an ANIMAL—the Human ANIMAL! After weaning children NEED to eat animal proteins or they will be malnourished and have poor cognitive development.
There is no need to eat meats with hormones. Just purchase free range once in a while or raise your own: Chickens, rabbits, fish whatever. Go hunting.
You are an adult in a rich land and can take vitamin supplements for the deficiencies that you will suffer if you do not eat animal proteins. As for your digestive system. You must have been eating a lot of bad foods and now your diet is better. The mediterranean diet of lots of fruits, veggies some fish, few red meats and even fewer fats is optimal.
Have you ever seen what malnutrition does to an infant or a child? They can NEVER, EVER recover! They will be stunted physically and mentally—for life.
Only in the rich West are people so willfully ignorant.
+mookie et al We are NOT herbivores! That is unscientific NONSENSE! Humans are omnivores. Our physiology is made to digest animal proteins as well as plant foods.
Today MORE people are dying of being too fat than starvation.
Being a vegan as an adult is one thing, IF you can take vitamin supplements— but CHILDREN should never be vegans and not even vegetarians or they will be stunted in BOTH mind and body. No infant can survive and thrive without animal proteins—MOTHER'S milk—be that from a human animal or a cow, goat or surrogate nursing mother. Soy is not particularly good for children!
Hmmm…. +Viana Pixs Many things scientists cannot prove. I would hope you can do more research on this topic? If not, I can understand. Thanks so much in advance. I need to go back to work now. Peace and Happiness be upon you.
I hate people. Not because you guys are vegetarians, but because you guys are so ignorant. let me spell it out for you. IF YOU DON'T FEED YOUR CHILD MEAT, THEY WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM THE DAMAGE. Is that better? Good.
I'm always curious, especially after having done yoga with a 73 year-old vegan in better health than I am at half his age, how anyone would think we need "animal proteins" to survive. Do those animals also need animal proteins to survive? What do they get out of plants that I don't? What, exactly, am I dying of and why is it taking so long?
+Viana Pixs yes I did, thanks for the question but again you are missing the point..I never once said anything about third world countries and children stopping to eat meat or any of that..yes I live in a country that affords me to take supplements and allows me to grow my own food, but it does not negate the fact that our country and its food supply is sickened with chemicals and is unsustainable. The food we eat here is poisoned. We can argue all day about this fact or we can choose to disagree, I notice you made no mention as to the quality of food we have here…we have people walking around this country who are deficient in all areas and they still eat meat…what do they eat? Fast food, prepackaged foods loaded with salts and additives and chemicals. And you're telling me this is healthy? Its better to eat this stuff than remove it from your diet? ..as I said before in my original post not everyone will agree with me, and rightly so, everyone HAS THEIR OWN choice…
+Jendhamuni Sos What can't scientists prove? That humans need animal proteins to develop properly?
That has been proven via MILLIONS of years of human survival and has been proven in the lab.
Your willful ignorance is really dangerous! Please DO NOT have children until you educate yourself as to how to properly feed them so that they are not stunted or you may find yourself in prison for child neglect and abuse.
+Viana Pixs and what an awful person you are to insult people..get off your high horse..I'm astounded by your un-professionalism…everyone has a right to their own opinion without your insults…I can only imagine the crap your colleagues take.
+Viana Pixs Why do you assume Vegans have to eat/drink soy?
Victoria Moran's ( http://mainstreetvegan.net/ ) daughter is proof that a vegan child can grow up perfectly healthy…she is an adult now. There are many adult vegans who have never eaten animal products and are vibrant, smart and healthy.
+Tracy Strickland I suggest that you take a course in logic and debate tactics, Tracy.
I have in no manner endorsed fast food or big ag. In point of fact I am against those. However, the FACT remains that people MUST eat animal proteins, in particular children MUST consume animal proteins in order to develop properly.
Your ignorance is really appalling. Take some bio and nutrition courses!
Are eggs meat? I have six happy chickens, and I love them very much, and not just because they give me a delicious meal every day. Having said that, if I bought a live animal to raise and eat, I would always think of it as a pet meal. I am sure that I could raise it with care and tenderness, and then kill and butcher it when the time came, regardless of how I felt emotionally. Hundreds of generations have bred these instincts into me, think about the ancient shepherds who risked their lives to protect their sheep from wolves, helped the sheep give birth to a new generation, and yet still lived on mutton.
+Viana Pixs sadly I'll run into more internet trolls like you so don't worry I'll have plenty more opportunities for this. And seriously, you need to stop being so hateful…its bad for your health as well, oh wait that's right you probably don't believe in mediation either. I'm so glad you are not in my life…one thing I can be very thankful for tonight!
I am a very good person, my dear and an educated one. Saying that you people are ignorant is not an insult. It is a fact.
People in the developing world have children who are malnourished because they did not get the proper animal proteins. The mothers could not nurse them and had nothing but plants to feed them.
Those children will never, EVER be normal! So you can get off your high, ignorant horse and look at the world health statistics. One child of a vegan is hardly significant when BILLIONS do not have the proper nourishment much less vitamin supplements.
+Anna Greer and +Viana Pixs read The China Study…most of rural China traditionally eats no animal protein and is perfectly healthy. Cancer and other diseases of affluence have started to creep in as our western influence contributes to their dietary choices.
You need to understand that the meat and diary industries are selling products to make a profit, they have completely controlled the way in which we think about nutrition and food.
I'm not telling you this to argue, I'm simply sharing what I have learned, do some googling, watch EARTHLINGS, find out some facts!
The billions that are malnourished are because the grains are fed to livestock to feed the meat eaters of the world. I'd rather eat my grains without them being recycled through a corpse.
+Viana Pixs just stop already…you don't even know me…stop calling people names…if you want people to listen to what you have to say stop talking to them like that…you are a hateful person…a good teacher never says stuff like that…NEVER…a good teacher always says ok…I understand and maybe this would be better, but you'd rather put individuals down and degrade them…well if that works for you so be it..but I'm done with you and this conversation…have a great night and I sincerely hope you grow up some.
+mookie et al Like I said, IF you try that with an infant you will be arrested for child abuse because the child will suffer from malnutrition.
+Tracy Strickland You can lead a horse to water, Tracy. You are willfully ignorant. That is fine, for you, but don't try it on a child. Because, if you try to make a child a vegan, you will cause developmental stunting.
I have been an adult for decades, my dear. Perhaps when you become one you will have educated yourself.
+Viana Pixs From what i understand meat cooked rare is the easiest to digest,am i correct?I have been up on the nutrition of food since i was young having to train,I have always had to eat meat to get that energy that only meat can give my brain and muscles..:-)
+Michael Howell No, Michael red meat is not the easiest to digest. Beef in particular is the most difficult. Usually, once a child is on solid food, the first being cereals, the first meats fed tend to be lamb.
It is wise to marinate all animal proteins to facilitate digestion. The best is to eat fish, a bit of chicken and not very much red meat. Dairy should also be limited other than fermented products such as yoghurt.
+mookie et al If you feed a neonate, an infant or a toddler vegan foods and that child is stunted or dies—as has happened already— you will be arrested and liable for the lack of development and harm done to that child.
There have been such cases in the West. Look it up.
People get strangely defensive. I live by science and do my best to contribute to it regularly, but some of the science discussed here is reminiscent of D.A.R.E. The project is generally considered a failure as it encouraged kids to accept things as truth that were easily proven to not be, discrediting the entire teachings.
Apropos, assume someone goes around asserting that science says humans MUST consume animal proteins to live. What happens when you encounter a group of people who don't consume animal protein and they appear very healthy and happy?
+Tracy Strickland Of coarse she was very frank about how she felt about this post,but she could have chosen a more professional word or words to implement her feelings or her thoughts,thats my opinion.
This is lovely like a tennis match. Well you're what you eat. Meat carnivore, vegies vegetarian, both omnivore. Use your brain and cognition, and tell everyone to lump it if they don't like it!
+mookie et al " The China Study…most of rural China traditionally eats no animal protein and is perfectly healthy. Cancer and other diseases of affluence have started to creep in as our western influence contributes to their dietary choices. "
Not true! Mothers nurse their infants. Mother's milk is animal protein—human animal protein.
The Chinese would eat meat if they could afford it and those who are now middle class do so.
Cancer has been around since the dawn of man. Cancers, with the exception of a couple are DOWN, not UP!
If you live long enough, you will experience your own cancer because as one ages cells fail to replicate properly. Humans live longer and still cancers are down.
+Michael Howell It is not wise to eat rare meats for health reasons unless you know the meat is free range and clean. OTOH—"charred" BBQd meats have carcinogens.
Tough in the modern world. Regardless, vegans and vegetarians can most certainly get diseases such as E. coli from plants. Pathogens are in the soils. These days many are antibiotic resistant.
+Viana Pixs That was just on the news,e-coli in salads that were bagged, i think wal-mart had to take them off the shelf,it may not have been wal-mart but it was pretty wide spread.
+Viana Pixs why is it so important to change people's ways? While it should be crystal clear that your debating tactics are counter productive . I'm just against cruelty committed against animals. The major reason people become vegetarian. They have my respect, like every other idealist they are sometimes wrong.
+Viana Pixs I breastfed my son until he was 2 1/2 years old. Stop saying human breast milk is the same as cow's milk. Human milk for humans, cow's milk for cows. We are the old species that drinks the breast milk of another species, throughout adulthood and it's killing us.
+Charles van Dijk I am hardly trying to change anyone's mind since such people tend to be extremists.
I too am against factory farming and big agriculture. I have an organic garden and eat few animal proteins.
Educating people as to what harm their extreme belief system could do to children is IMHO the proper thing to do. There have been numerous cases in recent years in the West, New Zealand, N. America and Europe where children have died as a result of their parents forcing an improperly balanced, vegan diet on them.
If I recall correctly one father got over 30 years in prison for the death of his child.
Veganism and even vegetarianism must be extremely, carefully planned and balanced and still people must take supplements. For children this is a real issue.
+mookie et al " I breastfed my son until he was 2 1/2 years old. Stop saying human breast milk is the same as cow's milk. Human milk for humans, cow's milk for cows. We are the old species that drinks the breast milk of another species, throughout adulthood and it's killing us."
Yes, and human milk is an ANIMAL protein! As I have said many times above. Evidently you didn't read it. I also did NOT say that human breast milk is the same as cow's milk. In point of fact it is better for human children than cows milk. That has been scientifically proven long ago.
Most humans do not drink cow's milk in adulthood. Most humans cannot digest dairy products after having been weaned. I also said that people should eat few dairy products, with the exception of fermented ones like yoghurt.
Evidently you did not read that either.
The only point that I am making is that veganism is NOT good for infants and developing children. Adults, in the rich West can take supplements, others are not so fortunate and suffer from malnutrition if they cannot get a properly balanced vegetarian or vegan diet.
+Viana Pixs " improperly balanced, vegan diet" …exactly! A balanced vegan diet is a totally different to eating oreos, coke, and vegan packaged foods constantly. Children are dying from the "McDiet" too!! I'm not extreme, you are just passing judgement and assuming you know what all vegans and vegetarians eat. As a responsible vegan mother you can't possible negate my concern for my child's well being and frankly it's none of your business.
When people were expected to live for about 30 years, there really wasn't all that much that made a difference. As it is, many of us know someone who's already exceeded the average life expectancy of a human over the course of the entire duration of the existence of our species without consuming animal protein.
And mother's milk is really a strange thing to bring up. My mother's milk was made just for me, by my willing mother. Technically, sure, it's an animal protein, but it's not fair to bridge that to "so clearly we should kill pigs and drink from goats for the rest of our lives or we'll die."
+sophias table "Dedaninn Carter. your a idiot …your born vegan and don't eat meat until 2 even if you do eat meat. "
Wow! Calling people an "idiot" is OK for a vegan, but stating facts is not.
Infants are NOT born vegan! The proteins transmitted in the womb are not vegetable proteins. Mother's milk is an ANIMAL protein—a human ANIMAL protein!
+DeDaninn Carter I was once accused of child abuse because I wouldn't take my kid to McDonalds (and yes, it was a serious accusation trying to convince others I wasn't a good parent).
+Dustin Sallings I never took my kids to Mc Donalds and have only eaten there twice in my life because there was nothing else on the road. Pretty disgusting!
My kids never had anything from the ice cream truck. I make juice treats at home. They also never had any manufactured or processed foods in my home until they started school and began to share with the other kids.
Still, veganism and vegetarianism is very difficult to pull off for developing children.
+Viana Pixs Do you know what a vegan is? It doesn't mean you abstain from breastfeeding your child. You are being ridiculous with your persistance on the whole "Mother's milk is Animal Protein" We are all born vegan…FACT!
+Dustin Sallings "And mother's milk is really a strange thing to bring up. My mother's milk was made just for me, by my willing mother. Technically, sure, it's an animal protein, but it's not fair to bridge that to "so clearly we should kill pigs and drink from goats for the rest of our lives or we'll die.""
You are really twisting things.
You bet that human mother's milk is "technically" an animal protein and children cannot survive without it.
If a woman cannot nurse, and she cannot find a willing wet-nurse what will she then feed her child—spinach?
LOo°l…i had 5 cum too,out my vegan….my meaning was,the mother takes Good kare&following,girl-bye>know what time it is.funny!cuz chicken is my favor dish.»eve«.
It seems to be missing all the critical information about how it's proven unsafe and considered child abuse. Seems like the kind of thing people who are doing research would want to know.
+Dustin Sallings Evidently you didn't read the article. It is an indictment against veganism, in particular for pregnant women and children. They cite cases.
+Dustin Sallings Agreed that wikipedia is a great learning/teaching resource but it does not necessarily tell " IT " like it is. The information on wikipedia is added by " Joe Public " such as you & I & all the information shown can be edited by another should they feel that it is incorrect, outdated etc. Still, I am on your side believe it or not regarding this particular topic…just thought I'd add this little bit about wikipedia in case you or others were not already aware of it. Xxx
I seem to live in a different dimension from most folk here as the message I see in this picture of chick & eggs is something which no-one else has mentioned. The pic shows a chick ( baby bird ) emerging from a " KINDER CHOCOLATE EGG ", a confection no different than any other yet these eggs are promoted in such a way that any " not clued-up " parent will buy these for their children in favor of other sweets thinking that they are actually good/better for their children because the advertising stresses upon the " WHOLE MILK " content and other ingredients yet omits to mention the rest of the ingredients which most parents strive to avoid giving to or limit their childrens intake of. Failing to mention that the small toy which comes as the " surprise " inside the egg has a " CAUTION. CHOKING HAZARD, NOT RECOMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 5yrs ) on the outer wrapper which is NOT clearly visible untill the egg has been unwrapped & the wrapping read. I'm sorry if I have spoken " out of turn " but I thought this lengthy one-off comment deserves to be heard as much as the other short outbursts left by other members. Love Today xXx
+Tina Gray I know how wikipedia is edited, but people are more likely to research there than on this comment thread.
+Viana Pixs I've been trying to withhold judgment assuming you're not actually trolling, but it's pretty difficult to do so when you're calling the following "an indictment against veganism":
The prosecution argued that the case was not about veganism, but that the child had simply not been fed. Dr. Amy Lanou, nutrition director of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, and an expert witness for the prosecution in that case, argued that vegan diets are "not only safe for babies; they're healthier than ones based on animal products," and wrote that "the real problem was that [the child] was not given enough food of any sort."
…that doesn't exactly strike fear into my heart for people who eat without violence. But if you have actual evidence, I would encourage you to add it to that article where people can find it. Arguing about it here will have a smaller effect and is mostly just making you look like someone who enjoys arguing with people.
Personally, I don't feel that I need to justify my diet to anyone, but haven't seen any evidence that wider-spread adoption would do anything but make people healthier, happier, and generally make the world a better place.
You eat baby chicks every time you eat chicken nuggets. Many process foods use the male baby chicks and grind them up and then shape and bread them to make chicken nuggets. Oh and lets not forget about the pink goop they mix in…yuck!
+mookie et al "Last I checked vegetables don't have eyes and definitely don't feel pain. Plants want to be eaten, think of how many seeds are distributed within a nice dose of fertiliser (shit) by birds and other animals (including humans if we don't use our modern sewerge system). Veganism is the way forward for so many reasons."
I'm not taking sides, just stating the fact that plants are alive.
More to the point, you saying "Plants want to be eaten" after saying "Last I checked vegetables don't have eyes and definitely don't feel pain" is a very interesting point of view. How can something, with no eyes and no pain receptors, want something? Maybe I'm being too pedantic.
Either way, I respect the fact that you're a vegan. I haven't been able to see myself as one in the near future. My favorite salad dressing is still egg-based. Have a brillliant day.
Interested is also the Book Zen Macrobiotik from Jiro Nakamura so you can find your way. But i tell you what, if you are realy very ill fish and meat can help you mostly faster to a better health. When you are healthy enough you can change and there is a problem with Jod if you are vegetarian it is possible to take Jod Salt fish has Jod. Anyway to find the best it is a long way and much to lern. I spice my Food also with herbs. Eat both . I wish you everytime good health !
India is the largest/biggest vegetarian/vegan society in the world, had been for centuries. With no nutritional/growth problems at all…. this is for Viana Pics, mookie et all, Tracy Strickland.

Not to burst your bubbles, but aren't vegetables also alive?
Jendhamuni Sos
+Tracy Strickland You said it perfectly! I got more than enough protein from all kinds of nuts, beans and other veggies, such as spinach etc. Even the Omega 3, you can get from veggies and nuts….I'm one of the most healthy vegetarian alive. Thanks so much for sharing the info here.
mookie et al
Last I checked +Mayo Loing vegetables don't have eyes and definitely don't feel pain. Plants want to be eaten, think of how many seeds are distributed within a nice dose of fertiliser (shit) by birds and other animals (including humans if we don't use our modern sewerge system). Veganism is the way forward for so many reasons.
Viana Pixs
+Tracy Strickland My profession is science, specifically biology. You need to produce some real, bonafide scientific sources.
Where will infants get proteins if not from "animals" as in mother's milk?
No one needs the high animal protein diet that we Westerners eat, however, humans are omnivores. If we do not eat animal proteins then vitamin deficiencies ensue. While that can be corrected via vitamin supplements in a wealthy society, it is much more difficult in the poor ones.
Growing gardens is a good thing. I have been doing that all of my adult life. However, that does not eliminate the need for ocasional animal proteins for a proper, balanced diet—in particular for children.
Surely you have observed the stunted children of poor societies? A stunted body also means poor brain development!
Jendhamuni Sos
+mookie et al Thanks so much! Well said. These two kinds of lives (animals and plants) aren't the same. Even Buddha talked about the differences also (not to be off topic)
mookie et al
+Anna Greer, we are not carnivorous predators at all. Go hunt yourself a wild animal with your bare hands and eat the entire thing, then argue your point! Factory farming is destroying us, the planet and enslaving animals. 70-90% of corn, wheat and soy goes to feeding factory farmed animals, while people die from starvation. Makes sense?
Viana Pixs
+Jendhamuni Sos Even Buddha stopped trying to live on one grain of rice.
Jendhamuni Sos
Thanks for the word of wisdom +Viana Pixs I will keep that in my heart. Wishing you a most pleasant day.
Viana Pixs
+mookie et al More people are fat than die from starvation!
We are INDEED omnivores who need animal proteins for proper health and development. In particular children need animal proteins and cannot live on plant foods alone or they will suffer malnutrition!
I agree factory farming is a bad thing. But, people still need animal proteins for proper health.
Tracy Strickland
+Viana Pixs did you even look at the link? Before you start putting others ideas down as non "scientific" maybe you should realize that I said I stopped eating meat and had seen a HUGE difference in my life…that for me, is evidence enough. If your fine with eating meat loaded with growth hormones, antibiotics, toxins and other unnatural sources (not to mention the food sources the animals eat is not what was meant for the animals to eat (ever seen food inc.?) then go right ahead, but I'm not eating any more of that, ever. So glad you are not the decision maker for me…

I'm not willing to give up my species advantage. We're omnivores for a very good reason.

Just like quoted on the post, "I did not become a vegetarian for my health, I did it for the health of the chickens." I would rather live only ONE day as a kind and compassionate person, than live ONE HUNDRED YEARS, watching animals being tortured.
mookie et al
+Viana Pixs We are actually herbivores, who are adaptable. We moved to colder regions of the world thus needs to eat other things and no we don't NEED animal proteins to survive actually, there are over 67 million vegans in the world today and done right it's a tremendously healthy lifestyle choice.
Starvation may not be a problem in the Western world, but it is indeed a problem for many parts of Africa, Asia and India for example.
Also you said more people will die from being fat…well hello…ANIMAL PROTEIN!! A plant based diet is almost completely free of saturated fats (the stuff that clogs your arteries.

This is Brought to you by the OUTER-LIMITS & the Twlight-Zone! The Continuiom of …. ah.. da… what?
Viana Pixs
+Tracy Strickland Of course I looked at the website.
However, that does not negate what I posted. People, especially children NEED to consume animal proteins!
Did you read what I wrote? Again, how do you propose to keep infants and children healthy and have proper brain and body development without animal proteins? Mother's milk comes from an ANIMAL—the Human ANIMAL! After weaning children NEED to eat animal proteins or they will be malnourished and have poor cognitive development.
There is no need to eat meats with hormones. Just purchase free range once in a while or raise your own: Chickens, rabbits, fish whatever. Go hunting.
You are an adult in a rich land and can take vitamin supplements for the deficiencies that you will suffer if you do not eat animal proteins. As for your digestive system. You must have been eating a lot of bad foods and now your diet is better. The mediterranean diet of lots of fruits, veggies some fish, few red meats and even fewer fats is optimal.
Have you ever seen what malnutrition does to an infant or a child? They can NEVER, EVER recover! They will be stunted physically and mentally—for life.
Only in the rich West are people so willfully ignorant.

+mookie et al We are NOT herbivores! That is unscientific NONSENSE! Humans are omnivores. Our physiology is made to digest animal proteins as well as plant foods.
Today MORE people are dying of being too fat than starvation.
Being a vegan as an adult is one thing, IF you can take vitamin supplements— but CHILDREN should never be vegans and not even vegetarians or they will be stunted in BOTH mind and body. No infant can survive and thrive without animal proteins—MOTHER'S milk—be that from a human animal or a cow, goat or surrogate nursing mother. Soy is not particularly good for children!

I'm always curious, especially after having done yoga with a 73 year-old vegan in better health than I am at half his age, how anyone would think we need "animal proteins" to survive. Do those animals also need animal proteins to survive? What do they get out of plants that I don't? What, exactly, am I dying of and why is it taking so long?

Tracy Strickland
+Viana Pixs yes I did, thanks for the question but again you are missing the point..I never once said anything about third world countries and children stopping to eat meat or any of that..yes I live in a country that affords me to take supplements and allows me to grow my own food, but it does not negate the fact that our country and its food supply is sickened with chemicals and is unsustainable. The food we eat here is poisoned. We can argue all day about this fact or we can choose to disagree, I notice you made no mention as to the quality of food we have here…we have people walking around this country who are deficient in all areas and they still eat meat…what do they eat? Fast food, prepackaged foods loaded with salts and additives and chemicals. And you're telling me this is healthy? Its better to eat this stuff than remove it from your diet? ..as I said before in my original post not everyone will agree with me, and rightly so, everyone HAS THEIR OWN choice…
Viana Pixs
+Jendhamuni Sos What can't scientists prove? That humans need animal proteins to develop properly?
That has been proven via MILLIONS of years of human survival and has been proven in the lab.
Your willful ignorance is really dangerous! Please DO NOT have children until you educate yourself as to how to properly feed them so that they are not stunted or you may find yourself in prison for child neglect and abuse.
My gawwd! What ignorance! 🙁
Tracy Strickland
+Viana Pixs and what an awful person you are to insult people..get off your high horse..I'm astounded by your un-professionalism…everyone has a right to their own opinion without your insults…I can only imagine the crap your colleagues take.
mookie et al
+Viana Pixs Why do you assume Vegans have to eat/drink soy?
Victoria Moran's ( http://mainstreetvegan.net/ ) daughter is proof that a vegan child can grow up perfectly healthy…she is an adult now. There are many adult vegans who have never eaten animal products and are vibrant, smart and healthy.
Viana Pixs
+Tracy Strickland I suggest that you take a course in logic and debate tactics, Tracy.
I have in no manner endorsed fast food or big ag. In point of fact I am against those. However, the FACT remains that people MUST eat animal proteins, in particular children MUST consume animal proteins in order to develop properly.
Your ignorance is really appalling. Take some bio and nutrition courses!

Are eggs meat? I have six happy chickens, and I love them very much, and not just because they give me a delicious meal every day. Having said that, if I bought a live animal to raise and eat, I would always think of it as a pet meal. I am sure that I could raise it with care and tenderness, and then kill and butcher it when the time came, regardless of how I felt emotionally. Hundreds of generations have bred these instincts into me, think about the ancient shepherds who risked their lives to protect their sheep from wolves, helped the sheep give birth to a new generation, and yet still lived on mutton.
Dan Ross
But yeah, industrial farming is totally fucked up.

And seriously, you need to stop being so hateful…its bad for your health as well, oh wait that's right you probably don't believe in mediation either. I'm so glad you are not in my life…one thing I can be very thankful for tonight!
Viana Pixs
+Tracy Strickland I'm an awful person?
I am a very good person, my dear and an educated one. Saying that you people are ignorant is not an insult. It is a fact.
People in the developing world have children who are malnourished because they did not get the proper animal proteins. The mothers could not nurse them and had nothing but plants to feed them.
Those children will never, EVER be normal! So you can get off your high, ignorant horse and look at the world health statistics. One child of a vegan is hardly significant when BILLIONS do not have the proper nourishment much less vitamin supplements.
Twilight Zone is right.
mookie et al
+Anna Greer and +Viana Pixs read The China Study…most of rural China traditionally eats no animal protein and is perfectly healthy. Cancer and other diseases of affluence have started to creep in as our western influence contributes to their dietary choices.
You need to understand that the meat and diary industries are selling products to make a profit, they have completely controlled the way in which we think about nutrition and food.
I'm not telling you this to argue, I'm simply sharing what I have learned, do some googling, watch EARTHLINGS, find out some facts!
mookie et al
The billions that are malnourished are because the grains are fed to livestock to feed the meat eaters of the world. I'd rather eat my grains without them being recycled through a corpse.

+Michael Howell No, Michael red meat is not the easiest to digest. Beef in particular is the most difficult. Usually, once a child is on solid food, the first being cereals, the first meats fed tend to be lamb.
It is wise to marinate all animal proteins to facilitate digestion. The best is to eat fish, a bit of chicken and not very much red meat. Dairy should also be limited other than fermented products such as yoghurt.
Tracy Strickland

People get strangely defensive. I live by science and do my best to contribute to it regularly, but some of the science discussed here is reminiscent of D.A.R.E. The project is generally considered a failure as it encouraged kids to accept things as truth that were easily proven to not be, discrediting the entire teachings.
Apropos, assume someone goes around asserting that science says humans MUST consume animal proteins to live. What happens when you encounter a group of people who don't consume animal protein and they appear very healthy and happy?

Not true! Mothers nurse their infants. Mother's milk is animal protein—human animal protein.
The Chinese would eat meat if they could afford it and those who are now middle class do so.
Cancer has been around since the dawn of man. Cancers, with the exception of a couple are DOWN, not UP!
If you live long enough, you will experience your own cancer because as one ages cells fail to replicate properly. Humans live longer and still cancers are down.

+Michael Howell It is not wise to eat rare meats for health reasons unless you know the meat is free range and clean. OTOH—"charred" BBQd meats have carcinogens.
Tough in the modern world. Regardless, vegans and vegetarians can most certainly get diseases such as E. coli from plants. Pathogens are in the soils. These days many are antibiotic resistant.

+Viana Pixs I breastfed my son until he was 2 1/2 years old. Stop saying human breast milk is the same as cow's milk. Human milk for humans, cow's milk for cows. We are the old species that drinks the breast milk of another species, throughout adulthood and it's killing us.

Viana Pixs
+Charles van Dijk I am hardly trying to change anyone's mind since such people tend to be extremists.
I too am against factory farming and big agriculture. I have an organic garden and eat few animal proteins.
Educating people as to what harm their extreme belief system could do to children is IMHO the proper thing to do. There have been numerous cases in recent years in the West, New Zealand, N. America and Europe where children have died as a result of their parents forcing an improperly balanced, vegan diet on them.
If I recall correctly one father got over 30 years in prison for the death of his child.
Veganism and even vegetarianism must be extremely, carefully planned and balanced and still people must take supplements. For children this is a real issue.
Dan Ross

Yes, and human milk is an ANIMAL protein! As I have said many times above. Evidently you didn't read it. I also did NOT say that human breast milk is the same as cow's milk. In point of fact it is better for human children than cows milk. That has been scientifically proven long ago.
Most humans do not drink cow's milk in adulthood. Most humans cannot digest dairy products after having been weaned. I also said that people should eat few dairy products, with the exception of fermented ones like yoghurt.
Evidently you did not read that either.
The only point that I am making is that veganism is NOT good for infants and developing children. Adults, in the rich West can take supplements, others are not so fortunate and suffer from malnutrition if they cannot get a properly balanced vegetarian or vegan diet.
mookie et al
+Viana Pixs " improperly balanced, vegan diet" …exactly! A balanced vegan diet is a totally different to eating oreos, coke, and vegan packaged foods constantly. Children are dying from the "McDiet" too!! I'm not extreme, you are just passing judgement and assuming you know what all vegans and vegetarians eat. As a responsible vegan mother you can't possible negate my concern for my child's well being and frankly it's none of your business.

When people were expected to live for about 30 years, there really wasn't all that much that made a difference. As it is, many of us know someone who's already exceeded the average life expectancy of a human over the course of the entire duration of the existence of our species without consuming animal protein.
And mother's milk is really a strange thing to bring up. My mother's milk was made just for me, by my willing mother. Technically, sure, it's an animal protein, but it's not fair to bridge that to "so clearly we should kill pigs and drink from goats for the rest of our lives or we'll die."

I seem to live in a different dimension from most folk here as the message I see in this picture of chick & eggs is something which no-one else has mentioned. The pic shows a chick ( baby bird ) emerging from a " KINDER CHOCOLATE EGG ", a confection no different than any other yet these eggs are promoted in such a way that any " not clued-up " parent will buy these for their children in favor of other sweets thinking that they are actually good/better for their children because the advertising stresses upon the " WHOLE MILK " content and other ingredients yet omits to mention the rest of the ingredients which most parents strive to avoid giving to or limit their childrens intake of. Failing to mention that the small toy which comes as the " surprise " inside the egg has a " CAUTION. CHOKING HAZARD, NOT RECOMENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 5yrs ) on the outer wrapper which is NOT clearly visible untill the egg has been unwrapped & the wrapping read. I'm sorry if I have spoken " out of turn " but I thought this lengthy one-off comment deserves to be heard as much as the other short outbursts left by other members. Love Today xXx

+Tina Gray I know how wikipedia is edited, but people are more likely to research there than on this comment thread.
+Viana Pixs I've been trying to withhold judgment assuming you're not actually trolling, but it's pretty difficult to do so when you're calling the following "an indictment against veganism":
The prosecution argued that the case was not about veganism, but that the child had simply not been fed. Dr. Amy Lanou, nutrition director of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, and an expert witness for the prosecution in that case, argued that vegan diets are "not only safe for babies; they're healthier than ones based on animal products," and wrote that "the real problem was that [the child] was not given enough food of any sort."
…that doesn't exactly strike fear into my heart for people who eat without violence. But if you have actual evidence, I would encourage you to add it to that article where people can find it. Arguing about it here will have a smaller effect and is mostly just making you look like someone who enjoys arguing with people.
Personally, I don't feel that I need to justify my diet to anyone, but haven't seen any evidence that wider-spread adoption would do anything but make people healthier, happier, and generally make the world a better place.

Well, that's not a solid reason to be vegetarian. its human nature to consume meat and vegetables.

How could you eat a little chick
Kathryn Bishop-Carnahan
You eat baby chicks every time you eat chicken nuggets. Many process foods use the male baby chicks and grind them up and then shape and bread them to make chicken nuggets. Oh and lets not forget about the pink goop they mix in…yuck!
Lorrain Engelbrecht
Dont eat chicken nuggets

"Last I checked vegetables don't have eyes and definitely don't feel pain. Plants want to be eaten, think of how many seeds are distributed within a nice dose of fertiliser (shit) by birds and other animals (including humans if we don't use our modern sewerge system). Veganism is the way forward for so many reasons."
I'm not taking sides, just stating the fact that plants are alive.
More to the point, you saying "Plants want to be eaten" after saying "Last I checked vegetables don't have eyes and definitely don't feel pain" is a very interesting point of view. How can something, with no eyes and no pain receptors, want something? Maybe I'm being too pedantic.
Either way, I respect the fact that you're a vegan. I haven't been able to see myself as one in the near future. My favorite salad dressing is still egg-based.
Have a brillliant day.

Interested is also the Book Zen Macrobiotik from Jiro Nakamura so you can find your way. But i tell you what, if you are realy very ill
fish and meat can help you mostly faster to a better health. When you
are healthy enough you can change and there is a problem with Jod
if you are vegetarian it is possible to take Jod Salt fish has Jod. Anyway to find the best it is a long way and much to lern. I spice my Food also with herbs. Eat both . I wish you everytime good health !
