Dunno what I am missing, it would be great if you can shed some light on this. I consider myself as a lactovegetarian, I consume no meat including seafood but eggs. I might become a vegan someday, it's just that I don't have a solid plan for that yet. You know the hard thing about me being a vegetarian is, I don't know if I eat healthily, I definitely need to see a nutritionist to fix my broken diet.
Well, there's a lot of protein that can not be gotten from plants alone. And us humans are meant to be meat eaters. It's an almost religious debate, so I'm not going to start one, I won't be dragged into one, and if you want to be vegetarian that's your right.
I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
I mean, sure, there are examples of vegan body builders (some are even celebrities), but they are rare. It's much easier to eat steak and eggs and milk then squat, jump, run, lift, bench press or whatever exercise you prefer.
I think Steve Jobs died because of his diet. (I read he only ate fish or something like that.) But that is just an opinion, I'm not going to waste time debating about it. Yeah, I know, fishermen eat their catch, but they routinely trade for chicken and beef or whatever.
I much prefer Sting's diet; he has a private chef and has free range animals or his own farm, organic and all that.
When I'm rich and can actually afford to do it, I'm going back to the old "Anabolic Diet" which is similar to Atkin's and other Low-Carb versions, or you might have heard the word Paleo or the concept of the Hunter-Gatherer. You might want to also check out the Gracie diet (the one practiced by the Brazilian mixed martial arts family), although I don't subscribe to it one hundred percent.
Also, I'm biased against nutritionists. They really need to set the example. Most medical doctors in the past two or three decades don't get much "nutrition" subjects in their formal schooling. Some know that they don't know.
Man (and woman) was meant to be strong. Literally, we evolved from some sort of "survival of the fittest" kind of thing, but then we had the help of brains, and tools. We are the dominant species on this planet, for good reason, but as we are approaching and exceeding 8~9 billion people, there will be some who ... want to try to see if they will survive a generation or two of being vegetarians or vegans, inevitably their offspring (if they have any) become meat eaters. Otherwise you'll be the last of your bloodline.
In any group, there will be rotten eggs. In a population of a hundred people, there's one or two that are complete idiots. So with 7 billion people, I estimate at least 70 million. That's just how life is. A sucker is born every minute. There's rich, there's poor, there's smart and intelligent, and there's the mentally challenged. It's not politically correct (what does that mean anyway?) ...
Grains, vegetables, ... plant farming and agriculture was an invention only in the last 10,000 years. It's a way to sustain the poor. Admittedly, I consider myself not yet rich enough. We can not afford to feed everyone meat. The elite know that. I'm from an Asian country. A lot of Asians eat rice, fruits and vegetables, not because it's healthy, but because that's what we can afford. It's not discrimination, not because I belong to the same category, but that is reality.
Currently, I'm on a "See Food Diet" ... When I See Food, I eat. If you do the same, don't forget to squat with a barbell with two and a half times your body weight. And while you can be an expert in unarmed combat, be smart and bring a tool with you (I mean a knife or a gun, whatever is legal where you live.)
Canadians lock their doors now.
Back to the original topic, I would not shoot Bigfoot, because I won't eat him. Not my type of meat. I like the grass fed type. I don't know if Bigfoot is vegan or not, besides he might be endangered if not extinct.
