I don't think of animals as lesser beings but they certainly have a lesser amount of "hidden" neurons, which are those responsible for data storage and recall. I am reading a fascinating book right...
I have a couple of comments here. First, I know and knew when I wrote it that I did not mean to say that animals do not have consciousness. I meant that they base thier decisions on more "natural"...
What I was getting at is that wolves don't have a philosophy. They have instincts and mostly rely on those. While humans, equipped with self-awareness, consciousness, and an overinflated sense of...
Really when I said destined I had no supernatural context in mind. I simply meant are we on the track with no brakes. Ishmael is a really fascinating book. I didn't think I would like it because I...
Can do. Must be nice to be able to sit outside. It is practically a blizzard here. Mind if I ask what book?
Since my first post was a monster, how about if I break it up. Anybody read Ishmael?
LOL sorry but that last part sounded like me :) You have read articles saying that we don't actually need all 8 essential amino acids? or just that we need less protein in general? I was saying...
I don't know that I can say we are obviously designed to be herbivores. I mean we have protein needs that would be very hard to satisfy in many areas of the world as an herbivore say, hunter...
I was thinking last night about predators. My son has an unnatural fascination with cougars. We were watching the Legend of Cougar Canyon and it was a very realistic portrayal of a cougar...
I got The Voluptuous Vegan but the recipes have way too many ingredients in them that I would have to purchase for just that meal. I like Indian food and leeks on occasion but I need a cookbook with...
Hi. I tried to post this before but something must have happened. I was wondering if anyone had a favorite vegan cookbook. I know I can get recipes on the web but I invariably spend hours looking...
BTW I take multi vit, calcium, and B 12 everyday and flaxseed oil twice a week. I have ulcerative colitis so I must take vitamins. I think I am going to add iron soon.
Be fair! We have many many organic non GMO options where I live, and I live in the midwest so that says a lot I think.
That's what I ended up coming up with after I thought about it. I don't know why it didn't occur to me immediately. I really really need to find a simple vegan cookbook. it seems like all of them...
Who's Pete? send him. my husband is a selfish, judgemental, close minded person. He actually argued today that our two year old should eat meat because he will suffer psychological damage by being...
Yeah, i have taken a multi vitamin everyday of my life and now that I'm a vegan he says "see you have to supplement your diet!" pllllttt
Hubbys family farms and he says when the deer get overpopulated they eat all the crops. also argues that they are a danger to motorists.
Maybe this is a stupid thought but it occurs to me that organic food is fertilized with manure and to get manure one must farm animals or buy from someone who does right? In that case it would be...
I always felt bad about myself when I ate meat. I have never been particularly fond of it anyway. One day i realized that a big part of my problems with stress and anxiety had to do with the fact...
This is irrelevent, but my meat eating husband says that humans developed the large brains that enabled them to advance so much is because they began eating fish. He sited some study somewhere....I...
Have you ever tried spaghetti squash? I prefer it to pasta so I use it about half the time. I don't really like the whole wheat pasta either, but I eat it anyway.
I'd like to add also that all the studies I've seen (there was an article in mother earth news this month) show that those phytoestrogens have little effect on meneopausal women. There will always...
Admittedly I am vegan mostly for ethical reasons, but a vegan diet tends to be low in fat and cholesterol overall, so I really can't see a reason for cutting these foods out completely. I eat peanut...
