After reading that, who would want to be vegetarian? |
NPR News had a special segment about this same UN report released August 8th. On and on about not eating meat. Plant-based was the solution to everything. It makes no sense to convert grazing lands, not fertile or wet enough for crops, into agricultural land.

I would say "who would want to be vegan?" because that's how those lacking access to meat and dairy are actually eating, whether intentional or not. Vegetarian actually doesn't sound too awful - at least they're eating dairy and eggs, so they're getting complete proteins. Besides, looking at the nutritional stats for eggs, they're such nutritional powerhouses, low on very few essential nutrients, all of which would be supplemented in a vegetarian diet by dairy or various vegetables. The only thing is that if the only animal products they're eating is eggs, they're going to need to eat quite a few of them to get enough of those nutrients. You wouldn't be able to get by eating one egg a week, or even one egg a day (with no other animal products), and make up for what's lacking if the rest of your diet is plant based - the deficiencies would still eventually catch up with you. Being vegan, on the other hand - that's so seriously lacking in essential nutrients (especially essential amino acids) that it's downright dangerous, particularly during the developmental years, which is when you'd end up with the reduced stature and lower IQ problems, not to mention serious health problems. As we've seen reported on here, adult vegans also end up with some serious health problems, which are then alleviated when they resume eating animal products. |
Joel Saladin is a strong advocate for grazing animals as they keep the grasses in growing mode, which continualy pulls carbon, etc , from the air. Its the optimal food cycle. Carbon sequestering.
Chickens. More and more people are rediscovering chickens. Great bird to eat food waste from the kitchen, and return eggs and stew meat. As I walked thru my garden yesterday, I noticed grasshoppers are back. While Im not ready to eat grasshoppers, my birds will. Adds animal protein to their diet. When my garden was lawn, no grass hoppers. Though the sheep did graze it. We need to think how to make more quality protein to augment the vegetarian diet. A little goes a long way to create good health. Vegetarianism is not usually by choice, it is due to lack of acquiring animal protein due to lands converted to cropping and human housing. Hunting land is gone, most tillable land is cropped not grazed. Eggs are cheap to produce, milk products is one of the most expensive, but not as much as the lab grown beef protein at $100 per pound currently. |
. . . And related to another active post, these are the very people who would advocate taxes on meat and recommend those who consume meat would require higher health insurance premiums. Movement to penalize those who eat unhealthy foods and contribute to climate change is underway. Doesn't matter whether either of these have been proven, come on, it's just common sense!!!

Deep fried banana flowers. Takes the only health part of deep fried fish that's actually good for you out of the picture.
You can eat mushrooms and say they're scallops all you want. Not sure why you'd bother, mushrooms are already pretty yummy as mushrooms. I had a salad at lunch, except it was a big bowl of heavy cream sugar-free ice cream. I'd rather have just had the ice cream, but we all have to do our bit. |
I should clarify that the only food ingredient in the salad was heavy cream.

My kind of salad . . .

I saw a post by Jimmy Moore on Dr. Westman's LC Support Group on FB this morning. Apparently his youtube videos were targeted by some vegan group recently (as he saw an uptick in negative comments), then suddenly his account was shut down and 15 years worth of content wiped out. He is appealing the decision.
It really is a war. It's scary to see where this could go. |
It seems like the vegans have a very powerful lobbying group sending out tacit bribes in the form of contributions to governments and the UN.
As I've been saying for years ... there are zillions of acres of grasslands on the planet. Cows can feed on these grasslands with nothing added that mother nature doesn't provide. This land is not very fertile. To farm this land you would need extensive amounts of fertilizer, herbicides, insecticides, and our post precious limited resource, water. Plus you will need to use fuel guzzling, CO2 emitting farm machinery to cultivate it. A pound of beef on that land would pollute much less than a pound of lettuce. According to Cornell University and the EPA making fertilizer emits 100 times more methane than all the cow farts and burps https://earther.gizmodo.com/just-on...pa-h-1835376030 And to the person who mentioned eggs. both eggs and fowl are high in arachidonic acid and should not be eaten with anyone who has arthritis. Myself, DW and at least a half dozen friends went on the arthritis/bursitis diet and cured ourselves without medical intervention. Besides, eggs aren't vegetarian. What vegetable produces an egg? So fight back before they take our meat away. Spread the word. Going vegetarian is worse for the environment than a balanced omnivorous diet. Bob |

Hi Ken, That's horrible FB has shut down Jimmy Moore and 15 years of content. So many people have their entire business tied to their FB account. So sad that they can do that to people without any recourse. It's out of control. |
Watched a documentary last night great information except for it was actually biased based on just a few studies as the measure of meat products.
It vilified all meats and animal products including eggs and dairy, but not once was the vegetables defiled by the mention of pesticides and herbacides. When I walked into the grocery store this morning, I could only see poison. What is there to eat that we have not contaminated with toxic chemicals. |
Feel sorry for Jimmy Moore. Some will stop at nothing to eliminate the "offenders" of whatever dogma they support. Respectful debate is becoming a thing of the past. When actions like this can happen anonymously, it's now an invisible force that can harm people without any fear of retribution or personal responsibility, and quickly it gets out of control.

Im not familiar with Jimmy Moore. Is there away supporters can influence FB 's decision??
