Thanks Demi for all your informative posts.

I figure it this way:

1) I have the teeth of an omnivore

2) I have the digestive enzymes of an omnivore

3) I have the alimentary canal of an omnivore

4) There are 7 essential nutrients you can't get from plants

So why should I even consider being a vegan? I don't.

Plus this 'save the earth' is complete propagana.

There are zillions of acres of grassland on the planet. To grow vegetable crops on this land would necessitate exorbitantly huge amounts of fertilizer, herbicide, and water. And the fertilizer industry produces 100 times the methane than all the cow farts and burps on the planet combined (per the Environmental Defense Fund and a major university).

In contrast, grazing animals have prospored on these grasslands for millions of years with nothing but what mother nature provides. Example -- the North American Bison population was in the billions. The bisons ate the grass, and in turn fertilized the grass with their excrement.

Eating 100% grass-fed beef saves the planet. Eating corn fed beef is bad for the planet because of the growing of corn. The veggie propaganda mill won't point that out.

For lunch I had a 100% grass-fed in Florida (my home state) burger with Kerry Gold grass-fed cheese on a zero carb bagel. I helped the environment as I helped my health and my taste buds.
