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.

I *do* have the discipline to eat a healthy diet ... a healthy
omnivorous diet of vegetables, fruits, nuts and moderate amounts of
certain meats, especially fish. I consume very little dairy. I eat
more vegetables than some vegetarians.

OMG, you're delusional as well as paranoid! BTW, I *do* refrain from
cannibalism. I have yet to eat a fellow human being.

You take in all that the animal you ate took in. (Including the
emotional trauma and cells that are created by the disease caused by
such trauma and fear.)

That doesn't make you uncomfortable?

You are eating animals which produce feces just as you do. So you may
as well be eating sh*t.

Actually, it should be ... you are eating piss. Animal piss is what
gives red meat its delicate flavor.

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.

As I said, part of what you're washing off is essential nutrients not
available in plants.

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.]

Hey Derek, did you notice how the post began with a joke about how
whiny vegans and vegetarians are and most of the subsequent posts are
the vegans and vegetarians whining about it.

They are too stupid to see how their behavior confirms the  stereotype.

I didn't say it was irrational to wash vegetables, I merely stated that it
removes nutrients, some of which vegetarians will have difficulty obtaining
from other foods. Draw your own conclusions.

How does washing vegetables/fruits, remove nutrients?? What proof do
you offer for such a statement? I have never heard of such a thing.

"Plant foods are completely devoid of B12 unless they are contaminated with
bacteria. 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."

Ann - 23 Aug 2005 02:48 GMT
That site states among other things:

"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.

It gets worst than that.  It takes B-12 to convert folate into folic
acid.  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.

Can you digest the dairy ingested through your ear?

So you don't have to put milk in your ear?

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".

You stupid crack addict!

It's been proven that grasses uptake usable B12 when grown in manured
ground.

Wheat is one such grass.

It has been proven that wheat uptakes B12 when the B12 is available in
the soil.

B12 was originally found to be in wheat in 1948.

No wonder you identify with cucumbers. Same intellectual capacity.

You cannot be that stupid. Wheat contains zero B12. It does not matter
how much manure there is in the ground. You can't make a silk purse out
of a pig's ear and you can't make gold out of lead and you can't get
wheat with b12.

Sheesh. Talk about wishing upon a star.

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.

Mushrooms, aka. psilocybin, are eaten, not smoked. And they are fungi.

I get plenty of B vitamins. I - like most informed people - take
supplements.

===========================
Hey, veg-brain,  Organic does not mean pesticide-free3 or
cruelty-free, killer.  Actually many organic pesticides are more
toxic than smoe synthetic counterparts, and are used in greater
abundance.  Guess your few remaining brain cells can't seem to
wrap themselves around anything put propaganda, lys, and
delusions, eh killer?

Are your B-12 supplements from animal sources or are they useless B-12
analogues? You poor fools can't see that there is a reason human's
require meat but your religious beliefs supercede reality. :o(

>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.

B-12 for one can only be obtained from vegetation by leaving traces of
insects.

What if vitamin supplements are not available or too expensive for some
people?
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.

So they can eat fish.

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.

Being vegetarian isn't what makes them whiners.  They *already* were
whiners.  Vegetarianism - more accurately, "veganism" - is just a form
of expression they chose for their whining.

That's a pejorative onomatopoeia, and something vegans
don't do.

LOL!!

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