Vegetarians, your days are numbered...

Didn't Einstien once say "Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet". Just a thought.

He was a physicist right? lol

It's a good idea though.

1. It will make us all healthier.

2. Reduces the amount of livestock polluting the world. Includes the fertilizer, chemicals, steroids, etc used to raise them that then also pollute the world.

3. The removal of those livestock increases the space we have to grow food or turn back into ecosystems.

So it would actually help a lot. Too bad I love how animals taste...

Can't we just set the animals free & eat the vegetarians instead?

 

[hittite]

I think that I'll stick to dead animal meat. The taste of suffering makes anything more delicious. (just ask any cat)

Agreed and noted.

Also, Einstein was multi-faceted in his genius, I'm sure, so no hate on my Einstein bashing. haha

i saw this and was like WIN now I can tell all my friend who are vegetarians that they stick their smug and moral superiority up their arses (right next to their heads) and stop playing the mistreatment of animal card on me. also many of them are religios so i pul the bible card on them. I play real dirty.

win

 

[hittite]

ooh! just thought of a new angle. Everyone eats vat meat. animals are set free to frolic in the wilderness. population boom of uneaten livestock. Massive famine and disease outbreak among overpopulated animals. OR increase in livestock results in massive spike in greenhouse gas emissions (mostly methane). Polar ice caps melt and we all die. Save the Earth, eat a steak

 

[chowderface]

This isn't new, they did it with fish as well. Come the moment of truth, things fell apart, because no one wanted to eat a fish tumor.

Then the only thing you have to deal with is hippy loser twats preaching about how 'Stem cells are the devil' etc etc.

"hippy loser twats" - someone wasn't invited to smoke the peace pipe and hug a tree eh?
Your devil reference leads me to think you might be meaning Jesus Junkies / Bible Bashers

Actually i think you still have alot to worry about...
such as boys dressed as girls (except for eddie izzard, who is high larious),
good games not getting enough covereage,
crap latency on Battle.net
and beastiality
- thank god for the japanese sex robots
- although prostitutes might complain that it puts them out of work and they would demand the government subsidise them due to imports of sex robots.

My attempt at right-wing expletive sarcasm...I failed I think.

i didn't get the sarcasm at first either, but since you pointed it out, it is very clear.

But I eat meat BECAUSE an animal died, not because its healthy.

Vegetarians will shut up after this works because they were veggieheads int he first places because they wanted to be 'superior' to meat eaters.

 

[ParadoxBG]

I agree, and vegetarians should be first in line to receive stem cell pork vouchers.

Side note: how is this in any way impressive
- didnt they already clone dolly the sheep?
- Why dont we have loads of dolly clones?
- Why isn't my donner kebab (allegedly lamb) cheaper?
[looks angrily in the direction of The Kebab Shop!]

Star trek replicators here we come!

About cloning... aside from being very expensive and morally dubious from some people's standpoints, only a few in several hundreds or even thousands of eggs that may be tried are actually successfully fertilized, and of those maybe only one or two on average actualy end up making it to birth; of those, even fewer will survive long. Dolly herself died prematurely of seemingly natural problms that the original donor sheep didn't hve a problem with.

Cloning is definitely in its early stages as a science. We've a long way to go before cloned sheep bring the lambchop prices down

I never got that whole 'don't eat meat because animals die for it' thing. Doesn't cabbage die when you chop it up, too?

 

[jark.jark]

As a veggie (by the way, I'm not a ******. I love the taste of meant, and have slaughterd/ prepared my own meat, but have issues with the farming methods used and the way people are so detached from the process) I'm not sure about this. I've read up on a few different methods, but I guess it depends where they source the stem cells (or if you consider parallel projects cloning material). If there isn't problem such a genetic degradation (not sure if that would even matter, it would just be processed meat) or anything I guess I'd at least give it a go.

People have propsed 'exercising' the sheets of meat to make it more muscular and give it the right texture. They would do this by applying intermitent tension to the sheet.

These are good news.It mean that more animals will be spared to be killed later.And we ca help save Africa with this.

Actually, Africas government is to blame for global hunger (AKA Africas hungry and their government wants a bailout). Band-Aid raised millions of dollars to help Africa, the government in Africa just wanted the money, but the musicians bought food and supplies and shipped it over to Africa. The food wound up rotting in the harbour and any attempts to get food/supplies to Africa have failed (they even dropped supplies in by air once, the government threatened to shoot them down if they tried it again). In short Africas government causes most of their food shortage problems.

To put it simply, the pain that the animal suffered is used as energy by my antimatter-powered life stream. I don't want to get into the science of it but plants don't provide much for me.

 

[Nerdfury]

Some more people playing God. How much do you want to bet that it will be to expensive or it will not taste like the real thing.

Well, someone has to play god since he doesn't exist.

As a veggie (by the way, I'm not a ******.

I'm not sure what disturbs me more:

- You automatically defend your decision to being vegetarian by saying 'I'm not a ******'
- You liken being vegetarian to being homosexual,
- You use the term '******' so liberally when we're meant to be in a tolerant age and on a tolerant board.

What's next? You say you like watermelon and immediately follow it up by saying 'I'm not a ******, btw'?

 

[Klepa]

Damn that Africa's government, and it's harbour.

On to topic!

Are you saying scientist can use science to create food out of practicly nothing? That story sounds too good to be true.

I read somewhere that grass screams (in the supersonic) when it gets cut. So don't overlook the ruminant option
