Morning Faith,
there are many things that are worse than death............and being a
vegetarian is one of them. <<
I do not understand this dreary remark. Please explain?
I can't explain that statement, but been wanting to state my ideas.
Lots of things are problems with being a vegetarian,
Food supply
Variety of Food
Quality of food
Cost of food, if one can find it.
I understand it is harder on the environment than not being a
non vegetarian. Wild animals are very efficient at harvesting their food
supply and require no gas and oil for energy.
Plus........ I have said for many years that few people are knowledgeable
enough to be a vegetarian.
Most have no idea of the protein, fat, carb ratio that they should
target. Back in the 50's the ratio was stated to be
40 % fat
40 % protein
20 % carbs
I realize that would change somewhat for a pure vegetarian.
A huge variety of seeds and nuts can provide enough fats.
Some research indicates we need some saturated fat. Not sure how they
would get this.
I realize there has been lots of different ideas on protein requirement.
The average height of the adult male and life expectancy is in proportion
to the number of grams consumed per day. Too much is bad also.
One great doctor says, to live longer, eat less protein.
He does not say eat no protein.
Finally comes the issue of complete and incomplete proteins.
Amino acids are hard to balance for a vegetarian.
The two classes, Essential and Non-Essential are highly misleading.
They are all essential.
The ones classified as non essential are to be made by the body.
Many people have problems whereas they cannot make the non essential amino
acids, so .......... they become essential for the diet.
Wild animals eat 100 or more plants per day and stay on a food plot an
average of 20 minutes. If the missing amino acids in one food are not
found in another food within 30 minutes, they will not complement each
other to produce a complete protein.
Simply stated, this is all too complicated for the average human to cope
with. He best eat some meat, eggs, and milk to keep from overloading his
mind and blowing a fuse.
Yes, I eat little meat, small servings of 1 to 3 ounces at most.
I do take amino acid supplements, eat a few eggs, and some milk.
Heck, I did not mention B-12 but everyone knows about that.
I welcome anyone to disagree with me or disprove anything I said because it
is mostly my opinion.
Some of if is based on facts. <grin>
All the above is a work load that is hard to shoulder.
If we get into Biological Transmutation, the whole ball game changes.
