Hi guys. Was out looking for articles on diet when I came by this thread. At first I got the popcorn and leaned back waiting to be entertained by a bunch of gamers whom everybody knows have bad diets (PETA threads always end in angry diet related shouting). But I was supriced how well informed people seem to be.
A couple of things to ponder;
On the human digestive system. It depends on how you look at it. We are omnivore in the sense that we are a non obligate carnivore. We can survive on less dense foods such as greens and our very small appendix plays part of this mechanism. "Survive"
An interesting take on this: http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/carn_herb_comparison.html
The B12 thing seem to be the favorite facerub on vegans and such. The reality is that we produce a lot of it. The bad news is that it happens when the food is on its way out and nothing much is absorbed. We can do what many many herbivores will do to get access to their....*yuck*... or, we can eat something that contains plenty.
The next time a preachy vegan tell you about how animal keep destroy the world. show them this; http://donmatesz.blogspot.com/2011/03/operation-hope-meat-is-medicine-for.html
Tell them that their soy came from the same field that helped produce McBurgers, and that what really destroys the planet is 'mono agriculture'. Monsanto loves vegans. Big agro loves the idea that we all eat plants because it yelds a higher return.
Humans can live really well on an all meat diet. The body adapts and once it realise it has easy access to all the energy dense foodstuff (meat and animal products)it wants, magic starts to happen. I am myself almost entirely carnivore and has been for a long time. Most of it raw too (it tastes better like that. All human carnivores i know started with cooked, then rare, red, blue and finally settled for mostly raw. The exception is eating with others. most would be disgusted and there is no reason to offend them or require special treatment because of my own personal choices.

Dont believe the hype. Saturated fat is good for you. Refined carbohydrates and unstable "seed" oils are absolutely not. They are not even 'food' (Unless youre a bird with some mean chemistry skills).
Oil is fine if you can cold press it and use it wihout chemical filtering. That limits you to Olives and coconuts pretty much. Coincidentally. Those are good eatin'!
etc... There is nothing that PETA say that are in line with reality. And their satelite organisations like Physicians for the responsible use of medicine and that whole bunch of asshats Dean Ornish, McDougalls ,et all.. are animal rights activists first and foremost. Deceptive ones at that.
The China Study is hog shite of the highest magnitude and so misleading it is bordering the illegal (dishonest science). Milk causes cancer it says. Sure, if you feed bovine casein isolate to rats to the amount of 20% of their daily energy intake.
When you start to pick into vegan arguments you will eventually come to realise that they are one big echnochamber of precisely these same "vegan doctors" and various satelite organisation sprouting eachothers lies and halfarsed 'studys'. All of which only rarely openly admit to whom they really are or what their agenda is. The problem is that they are actually fairly succesfull at influencing policy making through lobbyism and as such should be treated as a subversive terrorist movement that abuse the political system to their own ends. No different from the "big bizz" they have as target enemy (and which apparently doesnt include big agriculture like monsatan)
In good health
