What do meat eaters think about this?

Humans, didn’t evolve to thrive on grains. Hence why we need to process them for consumption. So, that’s not really an option, I’m affraid.

Crosses fingers that we one day manage to process grains so humans can consume them.
Do you mean cook by process? Ie corn for example.

We did not evolve to ride bikes or type on computers either so you will be giving those up I assume. Whilst your point is true its a red herring as we can eat lots of things and still “thrive” and next to nothing that humans do were part of our evolution unless you live like a caveman or like it is 10000 BC.

Oh, Junkyard. In your case, I whole heartedly endorse your consumption of grains & dairy, if dairy is acceptable to you.
🙂

But we, well, Humans, didn’t evolve to thrive on grains. Hence why we need to process them for consumption. So, thats not really an option, I’m affraid.

Superb! At this rate we’ll have a full house on the defensive omnivore bingo by the end of page 5.

I reckon we’ve only actually managed to cover a couple of the squares so far, it’s been a reasonable civilised discussion up to this point.

The grain bit looks more like the paleo/iDave diet argument to me.

Well I count 7 so far. Maybe 8 or 9 if you count the concerns about evolutionary history in the ‘Mentions canine teeth’, or ‘something irrelevant about cavemen’ categories.

Interesting though on the not thriving on grains thing. Bread is obviously a modern white middle class invention 🙂

I’m surprised that the difference between a vegan diet and meat one isn’t bigger.

So full-on Vegans. I imagine this is how they look and interact with humans:

you’ve met me plenty of times hora.
stop being a tit.

I appreciate it’s just mild trollage hora but anyway, here’s what a 78yo vegan looks like

Yes, doesn’t mean I can post your pic up

LIFELONG Vegan and/or good genetics?

I think you’d struggle to find many 78yo lifelong “vegans”, as the word has only existed since 1944.

What difference does it make anyway? You have your idea of what a vegan looks like, I have mine. Having first gone vegan at 18 (now 40)I suspect I have a larger sample to draw from than you.

I won’t quote all the silly comments, if this forum has proved anything to me and the wider world. It’s that there really is no limit to ignorance.

For quite a while, I lived in a region of the UK given over, predominately to arable farming. Funny this was, unlike seeing folk picking fruit and eating it. I never witnessed folk standing in wheat fields, eating that there free wheat. I dare say you could chew on an ear of wheat, but I wouldn’t suggest it’s an intelligent dietary choice. But hey-ho.
😉

Some of the most overweight and obese people I’ve ever met are vegan. On the subject of the ‘healthyness’ (is that even a word?) of veganism though., both my kids are vegan, and when the oldest was a baby we asked the GP at one of the regular post-birth checkups if there was anything we should look out for nutrition-wise as she got older. The GP said something along the lines of ‘don’t worry about it, most kids I see these days are overweight and have terrible diets and I wish more were veggie/vegan as then the parents are at least thinking about what they feed them’.

I’ve never seen anyone stand in a potato field, dig up a potato and eat it either.
