Ann - 20 Aug 2005 07:17 GMT No, they are just sick of flesh eating rhetoric.
You meat eaters don't have the discipline it takes to eat a healthy vegetarian diet so you choose to ridicule. Why? Because you feel inferior. Why? Because you are. You have failed to yet catch up on our evolutionary path. We have achieved a new level, we are superior beings, we have discipline to refrain from cannibalism. So you quite naturally feel your inferiority.
One day you will be able to reach our level. Until then, I suppose we will have to endure your taunts and insults. But that's okay because being superior beings, we are not affected by it.
I can't help but respond to you bozos however.

Why not, if tastes good and is consistent with health? This "ick factor" type of argument is typical of anti-meat fundies. Do you worry about legs and thorax-bits and traces of excrement of insects making into your salads? Yes? Too bad, they're a great source of B-12 and other trace elements in which you are probably deficient.

And most of what you think you're washing off won't wash off anyway, like pesticides and herbicide residues that permeate the plants.

As in untreated human sewage from the farmer's own septic tank, for example.
[Spanish vegetables, many of which end up on British dinner plates, are being watered with untreated sewage in parts of Spain as farmers battle to raise crops in a severe drought. The environment minister, Cristina Narbona, and Spanish newspapers raised the alarm after outbreaks of a resistant form of salmonella in Britain and Finland were linked to imported Spanish lettuce.
Ms Narbona warned cabinet ministers that more farmers in the vegetable-growing region of Murcia would use untreated sewage if clean irrigation water were not made available.] http://www.guardian.co.uk/food/Story/0,2763,1521407,00.html

This can be the case when you organically grow your own vegetables and you do not wash them correctly. However, you cannot rely on our vegetables' dirt for your B12 intakes."

"Vitamin B12 does not exist in the plant world and vegetarians who do not consume eggs or dairy products should really be concerned and assure their intake in B12."
This is incorrect. Vegetarians do ear dairy. Vegans do not. I happen to be a vegetarian and see no reason to be a vegan.
This argument about dirt seems to be all the rage now. People are apparently even purchasing dirt to eat because they don't trust their own! Seems I read something to that effect while skimming through "The Makers Diet" where the author's father gave him a package of dirt to eat.

Not all vegetarians eat dairy products. Veganism is more than just strict vegetarianism, it pretends to be a "movement", it has "Animal Rights" and quasi-political overtones that extend beyond dietary choices. I consider it an eating disorder which will soon have a name. Obsession with health is already one, "orthorexia nervosa" or "Health Food Junkie" http://www.pamf.org/teen/life/bodyimage/orthorexia.html, I suggest veganism be called "Ethicsia Nervosa".

That's all bollocks to me, I just pointed out that absent the contamination factor, plants fail to provide all the necessary nutrients for health.

Thus, vegetarians need even more B-12 than meat eaters do. Otherwise, they will also be deficient in folic acid as well as B-12.
Just thought that you might want to know.

Thus, vegetarians need even more B-12 than meat eaters do. > Otherwise, they will also be deficient in folic acid as well as B-12. There's no problem--if vegetarians and vegans take a few simple and inexpensive precautions. See below. (Note: Older meat-eaters are just as much in danger of B-12 deficiency, because up to 30% of people ages 50 and over suffer from a thinning of the stomach lining--which reduces their ability to extract B-12 from animal sources.)
1. Vegetarians and vegans should take a multivitamin every day. B-12 supplementation is very inexpensive; and you can take a lot of the supplement without danger. (Even very large doses of B-12 don't appear to pose any danger.)
2. A healthy person's liver can store up to a five-year supply of B-12. BTW, this fact indicates that our ancestors had to eat meat only occasionally.
3. Vegans can eat tempeh, which is made from femented soybeans (the bacteria produce the B-12). Of course, this makes them "bacteria vegans".

It's been proven that grasses uptake usable B12 when grown in manured ground.
Wheat is one such grass.

B12 was originally found to be in wheat in 1948.

At first I agreed with TC that the only way you will get the b12 from the manure is if you eat the sh.t. Then I looked up mushrooms, an obvious plant that enjoys manure, and one large mushroom contains .04 mcg of B-12. So I guess the question are mushrooms a natural provider of b12(I think not) and does it in fact get absorbed from it's environment. OTOH I'd like to know how one can tell what wheat is grown in sh.t vs. artificial fertilizer, or organic? Maybe it's on the label - "grown is 100 % cow sh.t." I think someone has been smoking mushrooms if wheat contains B-12.

>From what I read organic vegetables are still likely to be contaminated by pesticides. These pesticides float in the air from neighboring farms. The wind flows sand from Saudi Arabian sand storms to the Unites States so it should not be hard to believe that these pesticides can float hundreds if not thousands of miles if not from directly across the street.
Just thought that you might want to know.

Ann - 27 Aug 2005 13:36 GMT Vitamin B 12, or more appropriate, a good multi vitamin B complex, is less expensive than meat and will last over a month! A steak will be gone when you eat it.

That's true for you and I, but I was referring to people in other parts of the world, the *majority* of the human race who don't have access to discount pharmacies on every corner, who may make a few dollars a day, or live off what they can grow or scrounge. Multivitamins are low on their priority list.

Then they would be breaking the sacred commandment of veganism, "Thou shalt not allow animal parts to cross thy lips." They would risk being viewed as savages by some urban nincompoops.

Vegetarianism - more accurately, "veganism" - is just a form of expression they chose for their whining.

Quite a statement coming from the biggest potty-mouthed whiner on the internet.
