Most, if not all these problems could be turned against themselves and turned into solutions, if only people would think. For example, pig waste can be used to produce massive amounts of free methane (and is being used to do so in other countries). Simply blaming the fact that man was designed as carnivores as well as herbivores (omnivorous), is not a solution, but is part of the problem.

I'll give you that methane could be extracted from animal waste (though far less efficiently than extracting energy directly from grain, biomass, etc.), but it still doesn't address the concerns of producing and transporting enough food to feed the world's hungry. > Simply blaming the fact that man was designed as carnivores as well > as herbivores (omnivorous), is not a solution, but is part of the problem. It's arguable that humans were designed as omnivores. Some of the lastest research indicates that the substance Neu5Gc in meat/dairy products may be linked to diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. The presence of these molelules triggers an auto-immune response that causes systemic inflammation and is thought to contribute to various diseases in the long term. |

Remember eggs? Sure, nothing's definitive. Medical science constantly advises the general public based on current knowledge and understanding, which is always subject to change. Still it's not a reason to disregard their advice because it happens to disagree with your lifestyle. > I believe that part of the auto-immune problems are due to hormones they > inject into the animals, not the animals themselves. Yeah, I didn't even get into the issues of feeding antibiotics, steroids, growth hormones, etc. to livestock to bring them to market faster. NOt to mention e-coli, salmonella, trichinosis, listeriosis and other bacterial infections. More good reasons to avoid meat products. |

The bacteria are normal inhabitants of animal digestive systems. Nothing new about them being in our food supply. Trichina are parasitic worms, all but eliminated in commercial pork in the US. Still to be found in bears, home-raised pigs and a few other critters. Not much of a problem nowadays. We're evolved to handle low-level quantities of the bacteria since we've coexisted with them for millions of years. Compromised immune systems and extremely high levels of the bacteria can cause problems. For most people, not an issue. Pastorio |

Do you have any idea how many bacteria exist in the human body? That are passed from person to person on a daily basis? Bacteria is no reason to avoid a food....simply take precautions and use common sense. If you choose not to eat meat, that is your choice...but it is no better or worse than anyone else's choice. As to steroids and such, careful choosing of suppliers can avoid that. kimberly |

We have meat eating teeth (as well as vegetable eating teeth).
