Don't Want to Start an Argument

I dated a strict vegan for 2 years (no animal food or products for ethical reasons). I'm a super strict follower of the Paleolithic diet. We had our conflicts on food for sure, lol.

To answer a few important questions:
Yes, vegans swallow.
No, vegans do not taste better.

Chimps are omnivores, but mostly eat a plant based diet.

Gorilla's and Orangutans, which are the strongest and more feared, eat a plant based diet, (but will eat the occasional termintes and ants) yet can weight over 400 pounds. Gorilla's share 98.3% of the same DNA as humans.

Takes 8.5 months to give birth... sound familiar ? And the young are nurtured by parents for several years... hmmm, where have I heard that before ?

Chimps share over 99% of human DNA, thats why they are so often used in labs for human medical research. I dont know much about the Orangs, but gorillas and especially chimps suffer all of human diseases including HIV, they do not develop Aids however. Chimps can also donate blood to humans and vice versa. Chimps are more feared than gorillas, gorillas are actually very gentle, its very rare for even a silverback gorilla to attack a human. There have been quite a few cases of local people being attacked by chimps including the snatching of babies for cannibalism. To a wild chimp a human is nothing more than a white ape and a possible meal. Chimp hunting monkeys, dukier, hogs, and small mammals is a very common occurrence. The gorilla gut is quite a bit different than the human due to their herbaceous diet. Not only is the chimps gestation period very close to humans but also the fertility cycle is nearly identical. Chimps give birth every 4-7 years after a surviving infant, gorillas about 3-5 years. Whew, thats far more than I ever thought I would know about great apes, theres more too but I wont bore you.

LOL... actually, there was a zoo with two sick gorilla's. They were feeding them normal plant based diet, but were also adding lots of "snacks" that had sugar and grains in the them.. wheat/rice, etc.

BLood pressure was up, cholesterol was up, they had little energy, they were overweight, and they were puking up the "sugar" snacks so they could eat them again
(sugar addiction anyone??)

The put them on a strict vegetable diet, 10 pounds per day, more food then they normally eat,... their health got better, very quickly and they both dropped over 50 pounds.

Nobody should have to take medicine for high blood pressure/cholesterol/diabetes unless they really want to, because there are alternatives. Amazing what a good diet will do for ya ;)

eat more veggies/fruits and less sugar/carbs, and be healthy as a Gorilla :)

no, they do not suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease in the wild. Only those in captivity that are fed a diet of grains and sugar do things start going south from them....
 
Beer, Good, Monsanto, Badddd!

But what if beer is made from GMO Barley?

Monsanto is absolutely the worst thing that is happening these days.

Helping to feed the world. More likely helping to reduce the population.

Does anyone believe that Monsanto is not a member of the Bilderberger Group.

"Monsanto. Solving the world's food supply." A problem that DOESN'T EXIST. No, rather, they want to become the world's food czar -- where everything you grow and eat has to come from them.

"Terminator" seeds are a good example. Monsanto genetically engineers these to not only be Roundup-Ready [resistant to Monsanto's Roundup insecticide] and produce BT Toxin, but also -- get this -- to be sterilized, so they grow into food plants that cannot reproduce. So you grow a crop of this poison, and after you harvest, the plant dies at the end of its normal cycle and that's that. You then have to buy a new batch of seed for the next year/harvest. "Monsanto. Keeping you coming back for more, fattening our wallets."

Folks know me; I'm not one that subscribes to conspiracy theories, but Monsanto is really the most EVIL company on the globe. Very nearly public enemy number one.

Funny thing is, unless they all have a line on a clean food supply, they are all poisoning themselves as well.

Our bodies are amazing little machines but they can only dispose of so much poison and the rest gets stored in your fatty tissue.

Everything is measured in parts per million this and parts per million that. According to
them, everything we ingest is completely safe. Bad part is that everything we ingest these days has a concentrate of poison within.

And people may wonder why our cells start to mutate.

At one time during the Cold War, people were afraid of chemical attacks of some nature by our supposed enemies.

Our current enemies happen to be our neighbors. I know that many people are aware of what is happening with our food but there are far too many with their heads still stuck in the sand.
