So, if the transportation industry, both national and international,
causes animal deaths, then are you suggesting that vegans
give up their clothing, tvs, mattresses, stoves, etc.?

You certainly have some overly high expectations of
what you think vegans should do. It's funny that it's
the non-vegan, insulting trolls that have ridiculous
expectations.

I have been the activist's recipe sites. I go for the

though it's a good one.

Try increasing the hunt to replace all factory farmed
meat. You'll see extinction soon enough.

===========================
If you truly believed in what you spew, then yes. Your problem is that you
don't even try to reduce your impact. In fact, you have made a point of
acknowledging the fact that you go out of your way to ensure that you use
imported products. Quite compassionate of you, eh hypocrite?

====================
LOL They aren't *my* expectations fool. They are your own words of spewing
that *YOU* care about animals when all you really do is follow the simple
rule for your simple mind that your religion demands of you. Obviously you
care nothing about your own contributions to unnecessary animal death and
suffering.

====================
You don't absorb your own b12, fool. So much for all the research you've
claimed to have done. And then there is the suppliments. Back to depending
on the petro-chemical industry again, I see. Are you a shill for big
industry? How much of a cut do you get for promoting all this extra killing
you propose, hypocrite?

Why? We are talking about what an individual could do to improve their

Well, I for one am not willing to give up all machinery
and clothes (I'd get arrested!). Why do you call it MY
spew, when it's you trolls who keep bringing up your
cd expectations of us.

My 'simple' rule of not eating animal products is first and
foremost for health reasons. I know that I've also happened
to reduce cds in my dietary change and that makes me
happy too. Stop demanding that vegans eliminate ALL
cds everywhere. That's impossible in todays world.
I'm content with the dent I've made. Don't demand that
it be bigger. It's not up to you.

On commercial farms, where most crops go for use as
fodder, that's true. But on organic farms, that's not true.

I'd still rather take the bacterially grown (not petro) b12 supplements.
I forget the brand name, but I saved the message somewhere.

I said I've been to very few. When I go to recipe sites from
my listing, I'm there for the recipes. I hardly notice the other
stuff there. I'm sure some sites are 'activist'. Some are
religious, some promote health reasons, some just want
to share their recipes. Doesn't matter. It's the recipes
I read and list.

Why not talk about the masses? The reality is that
the masses affect the world around us. What are
the apples and oranges you're talking about? If
ALL individuals took your advise, demand would
exceed supply big time.

You're the ones who prate incessantly about dead animals and your own

your own consumption.

You're pulling this out of your acne-scarred ass. Most organic farms are
"commercial" farms. Organic farms use pesticides. They use machines to
sow, fertilize, and harvest crops. You're either ignorant or have
managed to reach a completely delusional state about the realities of
organic production -- that somehow it's idyllic and peaceful.

The reality is there's *no* significant difference between methods other
than the fact that conventional crop production may include use of
synthetic pestcides and fertilizers and are also routinely monitored for
pesticide residues. Organic crops allow the use of natural versions of
the *very same* pesticides and are NOT monitored for residues (despite
the fact that many of the natural pesticides are equally dangerous as
the synthetics). Furthermore, the most common organic fertilizers
include parts of dead animals -- fish emulsion, fish meal, blood meal,
bone, etc.

Parenthesis should read: despite the fact that the natural pesticides
are equally dangerous as the synthetics. There's no significant
difference in the toxicity of either conventional or organic pesticides,
just that conventional ones are tested and limited in use while organics
are neither tested nor limited for application on crops.

'-Conventional

Synthetic chemicals may be toxic to many nontargets (beneficial insects,
pets, humans, birds, fish, and other wildlife)

Take control; eliminate pests

calendar based applications

All pesticides are poisonous to some form of life; greater use increases risk

Composted municipal sewage may bring heavy metals

Runoff with soluble nutrients and pesticides can wash into waterways after rain

-Organic

Strive for ecological balance and minimize pesticide use; build soil and plant
health to avoid the need for treatment

All pesticides are poisonous to some form of life; use safest approved materials

Composted municipal sewage not allowed; manure must be composted to
avoid active disease bacteria; assess compost quality before use

Runoff can occur with any materials, but less with organic matter that binds
nutrients to soil.

'Derived from the painted daisy, Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium,
pyrethrins are considered one of the most important natural insecticides.
When you must use a broad spectrum insecticide in the vegetable garden
or lose the crop, this is one of the best choices. Of low toxicity to mammals,
they kill insects quickly. In sunlight they break down and are non-toxic
within a day or less. For best results apply it in the late afternoon or evening.
Use pyrethrins for the hard-to-kill pests such as beetles, squash bugs, and
tarnished plant bugs.'
http://www.iserv.net/~wmize/insctd.htm

'While pyrethroids are a synthetic version of an extract from the
chrysanthemum, they were chemically designed to be more toxic
with longer breakdown times, and are often formulated with synergists,
increasing potency and compromising the human body's ability to
detoxify the pesticide.
.....'

'Pesticide residues

Over 400 pesticides are permitted for use in the UK. The incidence and
levels of pesticide residues on foods are monitored annually. 28.6% of
all foods tested in 1999 were found to contain pesticide residues, and
48% of all fruit and vegetables tested (MAFF 2000). The levels found
are typically very low. Just 1.6% of all foods and 3% of fruit and
vegetables exceeded the MRL - maximum residue limit - in 1999.

Seven pesticides are permitted for restricted use in organic farming.
Organic produce is usually found to contain no pesticide residues. When
residues are present, they are typically of significantly lower incidence and
levels than those found in non-organic produce (MAFF 1999, Schüpbach
1986, Reinhardt & Wolf 1986), and result mostly from environmental
pollution from non-organic agriculture (Woese et al. 1997, Bitaud 2000).

'Rigorous safety assessments' are made of all pesticides and it is asserted
that these incidences and levels do not represent a threat to food safety
(FSA 2001). However no such 'rigorous safety assessment' has or can
be made of the infinite number of mixtures of compounds consumers are
typically exposed to. Individual samples contained up to seven different
pesticides in 1999. Synergies resulting in greatly increased toxicity of
pesticides and other agricultural compounds have been observed (Boyd
et al. 1990, Porter et al. 1993, Porter et al. 1999, Thiruchelvam et al. 2000).

Dietary exposure to pesticide residues has been linked to gastrointestinal
and neurological complaints (Ratner et al. 1983), breast milk contamination
(Aubert 1975) and some sperm quality parameters (Juhler et al. 1999,
Abell et al. 1994, Jensen et al. 1996). The British Medical Association
urges a precautionary approach "because the data on risk to human health
from exposure to pesticides are incomplete" (BMA 1992).

In answer to trolls questions, I discuss cds. You keep
bringing it up. I never claimed to be able to eliminate
all cds, but a reduction is fine by me.

I've been researching much longer than any activist

I don't know the exact number, only the relativety to
my previous meateating diet. I know I've caused
a reduction of cds, but don't know how many, only
comparatively when comparing vegan to meateating.

On organic farms you won't find the rodent killing
chemicals that turn their insides to mush. As far
as the slow moving machines go, I think there's
been a bit of exaggeration regarding the numbers
you trolls would like us to believe.

Learning about Solgar is quite recent for me. I does

Are you sure I do? I think up all my own words. If they
are parroting me verbatim, I'd like to know where, so
I can ask them to stop.

Let's see. A long time ago, I ate meat. For each
pound of meat, it took a huge,huge amount of
crops just to make one pound of meat. The
larger the crop use, the more cds there are.
Now that I've eliminated meat from my diet,
I'm left with products that are lower cd, since
it DOESN'T take a huge amount of crops to
raise vegan food. No exact numbers for
you, just logic.

What reduction? How many fewer animals die as a result of your

All you have is the shoddy, inaccurate comparison of a diet that
included meat and one that doesn't. Since you're not keeping any kind of
score, you have no clue how many or how few deaths you're really
causing. Everything on your part is a matter of wild-assed conjecture
and best hopes. In short, your new-found sanctimony suits you well.

> I know


You KNOW nothing. You assume (wrongly) that you're causing fewer deaths
merely on the basis that you're not consuming meat.

> I've caused a reduction of cds,


Are you keeping score other than trying to bullshit that "I don't eat
meat, therefore no animal (or fewer animals) died in the production of
my meals"? No. You're bluffing. You can fool yourself (and oviously
you're quite good at it), but you're not fooling anyone else.

> but don't know how many,


Precisely. You didn't know how many before, you don't know how many now,
and your blasé attitude pretty much points in the direction that you'll
never know because you're only concerned about your own
self-righteousness, not about animals.

Oh, please tell me your source for this information. Here are a few
details I can pass along to show otherwise:

Organic pesticides cause cancer in rodents (and humans):
One of organic farming's most widely used
pesticides--pyrethrum--has been classified as a ``likely human
carcinogen.'' An advisory committee to the Environmental
Protection Agency made the classification two years ago, after
pyrethrum caused higher-than-normal numbers of tumors in two
different sets of laboratory rodents.
http://www.cgfi.org/materials/articl...1/jun_8_01.htm

Organic pesticides induce Parkinson's Disease-like symptoms in rodents
(and humans):
Rotenone, a commonly used organic pesticide, has attracted a lot
of attention in Dr. Greenamyre's lab. In past studies, Dr.
Greenamyre and colleagues found that rotenone can induce major
features of PD in rats, including slowness, stiffness and
tremor. Published in Nature Neuroscience in November 2000, these
results support the idea that chronic exposure to environmental
pesticides may contribute to the incidence of Parkinson's
disease in humans. With the new funding, Dr. Greenamyre will
continue to research rodent and cell models of PD to determine
which genes cause susceptibility or resistance to the
PD-inducing effects of pesticides.
http://www.scienceblog.com/community.../20022444.html

Organic pesticides affect more than just target species:
Some organic pesticides may be toxic to nontargets.
http://www.nysipm.cornell.edu/public...are/which.html

Organic pesticides are as toxic as their synthetic counterparts, and
many of them are banned under the Rotterdam Convention:
The Convention has already been signed by 73 countries –
including Brazil – and ratified by 18. It will come into effect
once there are 50 signatory countries.The original products list
included 22 organic pesticides considered to be highly toxic...
http://www.nex.org.br/english/denuci...enenamento.htm

Finally, but not because I'm out of ammo on the subject, an organic
pesticide called Dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane is banned because of
its pervasive toxicity. You probably have heard of it by its initials: DDT.
http://www.epa.gov/history/publications/formative6.htm

Why a month ago, what's different now? I gave up
meat in 1981. Recently I've begun eliminating the
last of the dairy in my meals, so if it's that you're
talking about, I haven't kept records and can't
therefore answer you.

Yeah, but it's a fact. Vegan foods use way less crops.
Therefore less cds. Duh. I don't need to know the exact
count, although it would be nice to have.

Here's more. Organic pesticides kill fish:
While some organic pesticides may be nontoxic or are only
slightly toxic to people, they may be very toxic to other
animals. For instance, the organic pesticide ryania is very
toxic to fish.
http://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheets/HGIC2756.htm

Organic pesticides kill a variety of non-target species, and foods grown
organically are not labeled "pesticide free":
Organic pesticides are used widely. Some are toxic. Rotenone
kills fish. Copper sulphate kills many creatures. In California,
an organic pesticide, sulphur, represents one-third of all
pesticide use. For obvious reasons, organic farmers don’t call
their produce "pesticide free."
http://www.ontariocorn.org/ocpmag/pestruth.html
See also:
http://www.hudson.org/index.cfm?fuse...etails&id=1677

Copper sulphate is more harmful to a variety of species than its
conventional counterpart:
Leake candidly criticized organic farmers for using nasty but
"natural" pesticides. "The use of copper and sulphur fungicide
sprays seems inconsistent with the claim that organic
agriculture is pesticide-free. On examination, the
eco-toxicology of copper sulphate is undoubtedly more harmful
and persistent than its conventional counterpart, Mancozeb."

Leake even provided a handy table, showing that the copper
sulphate used by organic farmers is toxic to humans, very toxic
to earthworms and fish, moderately toxic to birds and harmful to
small mammals.
http://www.cgfi.org/materials/articl...0/sep_8_00.htm

Effects of copper sulphate -- an organic pesticide/fungicide -- on a
variety of species including humans:
There have been reports of human suicide resulting from the
ingestion of gram quantities of this material.... Copper sulfate
is very toxic to fish.... Copper sulfate is toxic to aquatic
invertebrates, such as crab, shrimp and oysters. Based on data
on the potential hazards posed by this material to the
slackwater darter, freshwater mussels, and Solano grass, and in
an effort to minimize exposure of endangered species to this
material, applicators in some counties are required to consult
EPA endangered species bulletins before applying copper sulfate.
http://tinyurl.com/5y4hm

Organic pesticides ARE toxins:
Organic pesticide - not an oxymoron, because many organic
farmers use pesticides. A pesticide is any compound that kills
pests. So Rotenone is considered an organic pesticide even
though it does a fantastic job of killing pests and has
questionable safety. Rotenone is derived from the roots of
various South American legumes. It is a nerve poison that
paralyzes insects. Other organic pesticides include copper
compounds that can be tough on other organisms and the
environment. Pyrethrins are pesticides derived from the
pyrethrum daisies. They are a nerve poison that is effective on
a wide range of insects. Pyrethrins are moderately toxic to
mammals and highly toxic to fish. It is illegal to apply them
around ponds or waterways. So even though it says "organic", it
can still pack a nasty punch.
http://www.springledgefarm.com/glossary.htm

How much more evidence do you need, Skunky, before you stop making wild
claims about the superiority of organic farming techniques with respect
to concern for human health, wildlife safety, etc.? You jelly-headed,
clueless urbanite.

In answer to trolls questions, I discuss cds. You keep

all cds, but a reduction is fine by me.

I don't know the exact number, only the relativety to

a reduction of cds, but don't know how many, only
comparatively when comparing vegan to meateating.

On organic farms you won't find the rodent killing
chemicals that turn their insides to mush. As far
as the slow moving machines go, I think there's
been a bit of exaggeration regarding the numbers
you trolls would like us to believe.

Because it's *YOU* that claims to want to make a difference. You can't
bring yourself to actually care enough to make the change, so you focus

==================
No, it wouldn't fool. It's the reverse that is true for *your* advice.
Like I have told you, *all* beef cattle are already grass-fed for most of
their lives. Tha=ey are already on pasture that is alreasdy in place.
Man, you really are one willfully ignorant loon, killer.

What's wrong with maintaining the site? It's a very
useful resource for all styles of vegetarian. What on
earth could you have against it?

==================
It contributes to the ever increasing demand for power and communications.
Both of which contribute to massive amounts of environmental damge and death
and suffering to animals. And, in your case, since you're canuck, to the
displacement and destruction of natives, their lifestyles and the the
ruination of their local areas.
Quite a background of caring you have there, hypocrite.

From; The Bacterial Flora of Humans

(8) While E. coli is a consistent resident of the small intestine,
many other enteric bacteria may reside here as well, including
Klebsiella, Enterobacter and Citrobacter.

1. The normal flora synthesize and excrete vitamins in excess
of their own needs, which can be absorbed as nutrients by the host.
For example, enteric bacteria secrete Vitamin K and Vitamin B12,
and lactic acid bacteria produce certain B-vitamins.
http://www.bact.wisc.edu/Bact303/Bact303normalflora

The B12-Cobalt Connection
...
B12 synthesis by indigenous bacteria is known to occur naturally in the
human small intestine, primary site of B12 absorption. As long as gut
bacteria have cobalt and certain other nutrients, they produce B12. In
principle then, internal B12 synthesis could fulfill our needs without any
B12 provided by diet.
...
The emerging nutritional crisis of B12 deficiency calls for remedial action in
the macro- as well as micro-environment. Broad-spectrum remineralization
of topsoils using crushed rock or dried seaweed from ocean areas known
to contain sufficient cobalt can reestablish mineral balances necessary for
healthy food supply able to fulfill our requirement, both direct and indirect,
for B12 . The cobalt connection is especially relevant to us growing our own
food, since cobalt-deficient areas likely are well-established. Beyond promoting
remineralization to the farm community, we can adopt the practice in our gardens.'
http://www.championtrees.org/topsoil/b12coblt.htm .

'Mineral content: This may be the most important nutritional difference
between organic and regular produce since heavy use of fertilizer inhibits
absorption of some minerals, which are likely to be at lower levels to
begin with in soils that have been abused. This may be caused in part
by the lack of beneficial mycorrhizae fungi on the roots since high levels
of fertilizer tend to kill them. Standard diets tend to be low in various
minerals, resulting in a variety of problems including osteoporosis.

Read from your vegan websites, fool...

www.veganhealth.org/b12/int
"...It has long been assumed that B12 is produced by bacteria in the large
intestine (aka the colon), but since B12 is produced below the ileum (where
B12 is absorbed), it is not available for absorption. This theory is
reinforced by the fact that many species of totally or primarily vegetarian
animals eat their feces. It is surmised that eating feces allows them to
obtain B12 on their diets of plant foods. Although I believe this to be
true, it has not been verified beyond a reasonable doubt...."

You're pulling this out of your acne-scarred ass. Most organic farms are
"commercial" farms. Organic farms use pesticides. They use machines to
sow, fertilize, and harvest crops. You're either ignorant or have
managed to reach a completely delusional state about the realities of
organic production -- that somehow it's idyllic and peaceful.

The reality is there's *no* significant difference between methods other
than the fact that conventional crop production may include use of
synthetic pestcides and fertilizers and are also routinely monitored for
pesticide residues. Organic crops allow the use of natural versions of
the *very same* pesticides and are NOT monitored for residues (despite
the fact that many of the natural pesticides are equally dangerous as
the synthetics). Furthermore, the most common organic fertilizers
include parts of dead animals -- fish emulsion, fish meal, blood meal,
bone, etc.

==================
Because it's *YOU* that claims to want to make a difference. You can't
bring yourself to actually care enough to make the change, so you focus
instead on what you think others are doing and what they should do. That
doesn't really leave you off the hook like you think, hypocrite.

==================
No, it wouldn't fool. It's the reverse that is true for *your* advice.
Like I have told you, *all* beef cattle are already grass-fed for most of
their lives. Tha=ey are already on pasture that is alreasdy in place.
Man, you really are one willfully ignorant loon, killer.

Well, I for one am not willing to give up all machinery
and clothes (I'd get arrested!). Why do you call it MY
spew, when it's you trolls who keep bringing up your
cd expectations of us.

My 'simple' rule of not eating animal products is first and
foremost for health reasons. I know that I've also happened
to reduce cds in my dietary change and that makes me
happy too. Stop demanding that vegans eliminate ALL
cds everywhere. That's impossible in todays world.
I'm content with the dent I've made. Don't demand that
it be bigger. It's not up to you.

On commercial farms, where most crops go for use as
fodder, that's true. But on organic farms, that's not true.

I'd still rather take the bacterially grown (not petro) b12 supplements.
I forget the brand name, but I saved the message somewhere.

I said I've been to very few. When I go to recipe sites from
my listing, I'm there for the recipes. I hardly notice the other
stuff there. I'm sure some sites are 'activist'. Some are
religious, some promote health reasons, some just want
to share their recipes. Doesn't matter. It's the recipes
I read and list.

Why not talk about the masses? The reality is that
the masses affect the world around us. What are
the apples and oranges you're talking about? If
ALL individuals took your advise, demand would
exceed supply big time.

===========================
If you truly believed in what you spew, then yes. Your problem is that you
don't even try to reduce your impact. In fact, you have made a point of
acknowledging the fact that you go out of your way to ensure that you use
imported products. Quite compassionate of you, eh hypocrite?

====================
LOL They aren't *my* expectations fool. They are your own words of spewing
that *YOU* care about animals when all you really do is follow the simple
rule for your simple mind that your religion demands of you. Obviously you
care nothing about your own contributions to unnecessary animal death and
suffering.

Yeah fool, they take the poisons they are deliberate fed back to their nests
while their guts turn to mush over a few days. How is that compassionate,
killer?

====================
You don't absorb your own b12, fool. So much for all the research you've
claimed to have done. And then there is the suppliments. Back to depending
on the petro-chemical industry again, I see. Are you a shill for big
industry? How much of a cut do you get for promoting all this extra killing
you propose, hypocrite?

==================
Why? We are talking about what an individual could do to improve their
impact on animals and the environment, not the masses. Why is it you want
to compare apples and oranges when it comes to what can 'feed the world,'
fool?
