1 - How humans are not physically created to eat meat How humans are not physically created to eat meat Although some historians and anthropologists say that man is historically omnivorous, our anatomical equipment teeth, jaws, and digestive system favors a fleshless diet. The American Dietetic Association notes that "most of mankind for most of human history has lived on vegetarian or near-vegetarian diets." And much of the world still lives that way. Even on most industrialized countries, the love affair with meat is less than a hundred years old. When you look at the comparison between herbivores and humans, we compare much more closely to herbivores than meat eating animals. Meat-eaters: have claws Herbivores: no claws Humans: no claws Meat-eaters: have no skin pores and perspire through the tongue Herbivores: perspire through skin pores Humans: perspire through skin pores Meat-eaters: have sharp front teeth for tearing, with no flat molar teeth for grinding Herbivores: no sharp front teeth, but flat rear molars for grinding
Vegan Student Eating 101: Breakfast Options Jenn here to show you how to eat vegan on a student’s budget. Even though I’m not starting school until January I still feel like I’m in student mode since I’m living on my own in a student house and sharing a kitchen with 7 people. Oh lord. Any way, let’s get on with the food! And just bear in mind that not everyday can be perfectly balanced with the right amount of greens, fruit, grains, protein and fat sources. I have some days where I eat a lot of grains and some days where I eat a lot of fruit and some days where I don’t really keep track. Okay, so what are some economical, nutrient dense, energizing breakfast options? It’s a classic vegan staple! It’s funny, my sister and I just don’t agree on what the best smoothie texture is. If you like your smoothies creamy I suggest using half frozen fruit and half fresh fruit. So for a perfect creamy smoothie I suggest the following fruits: Frozen: Banana, Mango, Pear, Papaya or Avocado. Fresh: Oranges, Grapefruit, Berries, Pineapple, Kiwi
Environmentalism without Veganism: Reasons not to Be Vegan | EcoSalon |... Why the sustainable path may not lead to veganism. For nearly a decade, I was an evangelical vegan – a born-again, plant-powered fundamentalist, resplendent in my animal-rights halo and heavenly faux-fur robes. I fiercely guarded my inflexible morality, never daring to reexamine the orthodoxy’s most illogical presuppositions. Over the past six months, I’ve come to believe that strict dogma is a drag. Below are eight instances where mainstream-vegan doctrine doesn’t stand up to scrutiny: SAD: The Standard American Diet: with its 100-calorie, reduced-fat, Omega-3-fortified, fiber-added, high-protein, low-carb, soybean- and corn-based, triple plastic-wrapped snack-packs – is the cause of this country’s obesity, heart-disease, cancer, and diabetes epidemics. Oysters: These bivalves aren’t technically part of the Plant Kingdom, but eating oysters is ethically equivalent to downing a big bowl of kale chips. Wool: Aversion to wool from confined, miserable sheep is sensible and ethical.

Facts of Vegetarianism These articles are from Facts of Vegetarianism — a booklet that although we believe published in the early 1970s by a joint effort of the American Vegan Society, American Vegetarians, and Animal Liberation, Inc., still expresses valid considerations for adopting a vegetarian diet. Dudley Giehl, H. Jay Dinshah, Nellie Shriver, and Nathaniel Altman were contributing authors. Facts Of Vegetarianism Are We Meat-Eaters By Nature? It has been found that the diet of any animal in its natural state corresponds to its anatomical structure and general body functions. For example, the natural carnivores (such meat-eating animals as the wolf, lion, hyena, and cat) all possess a digestive tract only three times the length of the animal's body, and are thus capable of eliminating rapidly decaying substances (such as meat) in a very short time. The intestinal canal is relatively simple, and not convoluted. scientists to date back perhaps a half million years. for ourselves. b) Dr. b) According to Dr.
Gentle, Public Activism: Magnusson's I-75 Project & Sociological... Don Waisanen at Thick Culture highlighted Norm Magnusson’s I-75 project.

Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them. For 200 years we've been conquering Nature. I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in. I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.
