That is absolutely standard for our species. First come significant
policy stances such as "I'll be a terrorist" or "I'll be a vegan" or "I
want to smoke weed without seeming to be a hypocrite
http://mwillett.org/Politics/dopehead1.htm " or "I really enjoy turning
BMWs on their roofs and setting fire to McDonalds" or "I want to be
Prime Minister of Great Britain before I'm 40" then people find out what
their motivations and general principles "must have been" to bring them
to that point. (In the case of the last one the process is still
continuing).

Bird flu is a naturally occurring (and erratically evolving) virus found
in ducks. It has nothing to do with keeping poultry other than the
obvious point that farmed birds are just as capable of contracting it as
wild birds but more likely to pass it on to each other or to us. It is
not a disease created by farming.

Do these arseholes think that everybody who expresses a contrary view is
in the pay of the meat industry? Paranoid losers.

The disease itself isn't created by farming, but both the speed of
propagation and the degree of human exposure certainly are affected by
farming. But the below-referenced arseholes are blaming the problem on
the *methodology* of farming, rather than farming -per se-, and it is
farming -per se- rather than the techniques that create the exposure.

It is elementary to anyone who is not a meat industry shill. The cruel
overcrowding makes any disease spread faster because of their proximity
to each other. These cruelly confined animals get no exercise and are
naturally prone to disease.

'Diet excess originates from 3 synthetic additives, processed
fructose, sucrose, and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).
This does not include naturally occurring fructose found in
fruit and vegetables. Natural plant fructose is not associated
with either blood glucose or blood lipid disorders as those
generated by synthetic fructose. In fact, nutritionists
encourage fruit and vegetable intake for increasing fiber,
micronutrients, and antioxidants in the diet. The intake of
natural fructose from calorie-sparse whole plants is actually
low, and as an unaltered natural sugar, it is not associated
with untoward metabolic consequences following
consumption of large amounts of processed fructose. '

'There are two kinds of bacteria in the intestinal flora, beneficial
and harmful. In healthy subjects, they are well balanced and
beneficial bacteria dominate. Beneficial bacteria play useful roles
in the aspects of nutrition and prevention of disease. They produce
essential nutrients such as vitamins and organic acids, which are
absorbed from the intestines and utilised by the gut epithelium and
by vital organs such as the liver. Organic acids also suppress the
growth of pathogens in the intestines.

Other intestinal bacteria produce substances that are harmful to
the host, such as putrefactive products, toxins and carcinogenic
substances. When harmful bacteria dominate in the intestines,
essential nutrients are not produced and the level of harmful
substances rises. These substances may not have an immediate
detrimental effect on the host but they are thought to be
contributing factors to ageing, promoting cancer, liver and kidney
disease, hypertension and arteriosclerosis, and reduced immunity.

'Am J Clin Nutr 1999 Sep;70(3 Suppl):532S-538S
Associations between diet and cancer, ischemic heart disease,
and all-cause mortality in non-Hispanic white California
Seventh-day Adventists.
Fraser GE. Center for Health Research and the Department of
Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Loma Linda University, CA USA.

Results associating diet with chronic disease in a cohort of 34192
California Seventh-day Adventists are summarized. Most Seventh-day
Adventists do not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, and there is a wide
range of dietary exposures within the population. About 50% of those
studied ate meat products <1 time/wk or not at all, and vegetarians
consumed more tomatoes, legumes, nuts, and fruit, but less coffee,
doughnuts, and eggs than did nonvegetarians. Multivariate analyses
showed significant associations between beef consumption and fatal
ischemic heart disease (IHD) in men [relative risk (RR) = 2.31 for
subjects who ate beef > or =3 times/wk compared with vegetarians],
significant protective associations between nut consumption and fatal
and nonfatal IHD in both sexes (RR approximately 0.5 for subjects
who ate nuts > or =5 times/wk compared with those who ate nuts
<1 time/wk), and reduced risk of IHD in subjects preferring whole-grain
to white bread. The lifetime risk of IHD was reduced by approximately
31% in those who consumed nuts frequently and by 37% in male
vegetarians compared with nonvegetarians. Cancers of the colon and
prostate were significantly more likely in nonvegetarians (RR of 1.88
and 1.54, respectively), and frequent beef consumers also had higher
risk of bladder cancer. Intake of legumes was negatively associated
with risk of colon cancer in nonvegetarians and risk of pancreatic
cancer. Higher consumption of all fruit or dried fruit was associated
with lower risks of lung, prostate, and pancreatic cancers.
Cross-sectional data suggest vegetarian Seventh-day Adventists have
lower risks of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and arthritis than
nonvegetarians. Thus, among Seventh-day Adventists, vegetarians are
healthier than nonvegetarians but this cannot be ascribed only to the
absence of meat.

Vegetarians and vegans, with how many being lifelong veg*ns?
And that doesn't alter the findings about animal fat intake, above.

'The effects of various dietary factors on mortality from ischemic

analysis (12). Subjects were grouped not only according to their
diet (meat eater, semivegetarian, or vegetarian/vegan), but also by
their consumption of meat, eggs, milk, cheese, fish, green vegetables,
carrots, fresh or dried fruit, nuts, and alcohol, according to the
answers they provided on the recruitment questionnaire. Subjects
were also divided into thirds by estimated intake of total fat,
saturated fat, and dietary cholesterol from land animal sources,
and into thirds by estimated dietary fiber intake based on their
reported consumption of fiber-rich foods. ... The most striking

I am aware of the simple and obvious fact that many people on this
planet falsely believe that they require meat and animal based foods
to maintain or enjoy good health, and need an urgent wake-up call.

You are denying the simple and obvious fact that you are addicted
to eating meat and animal based foods; and as part of your denial
you attempt to make others feel guilty, or small, or stupid or cruel.

'Analyses of data from the China studies by his collaborators
and others, Campbell told the epidemiology symposium, is leading
to policy recommendations. He mentioned three:

* The greater the variety of plant-based foods in the diet, the greater
the benefit. Variety insures broader coverage of known and unknown
nutrient needs.

* Provided there is plant food variety, quality and quantity, a
healthful and nutritionally complete diet can be attained without
animal-based food.

* The closer the food is to its native state - with minimal heating,
salting and processing - the greater will be the benefit.

'Many affiliative or cooperative behaviors among group-living
animals can be explained by individual actions that may benefit
several individuals.

In acts of cooperation, both participants may receive immediate
benefits from the interaction.

Coordinated behaviors such as joint resource defense, range
defense, cooperative hunting, alliance formation, cooperative
food searching and harvesting, mutual grooming, huddling,
spatial proximity, and predator vigilance can be explained
in terms of immediate benefits to participating individuals.
Acts that appear to benefit recipients may also benefit actors.
These benefits need not be equal for each individual. If the
cost to the actors of affiliative behavior is low, even if the
rewards are low and/or variable, we should expect affilation
and cooperation to be common. This intraspecific mutualism
may help explain why nonhuman primates and other social
mammals live in relatively stable social groups and solve the
problems of everyday life in a generally cooperative fashion.

Brown (1983, p. 30) described a type of cooperative behavior
that occurs when ''each animal must perform a necessary
minimum itself that may benefit another individual as a
by-product.'' This has been referred to as ''by-product
mutualism.'' This is typically characterized by behaviors that
a solitary individual must do regardless of the presence of
others, such as hunting for food. In many species, these
activities are more profitable in groups than alone. Dugatkin
(1997, p. 31-32) stated: ''This category might be thought
of as the simplest type of cooperation in that no kinship need
be involved, nor are the cognitive mechanisms that require
scorekeeping ... necessary for byproduct mutualism to evolve.

As such byproduct mutualism is ''simple'' in the sense of
what is needed for cooperation to evolve, and this in turn
might make it the most common category of cooperation,
when all is said and done.''

'Squirrels are notorious because of their habit of buying nuts
in the ground. Stored nuts have no particular ownership, and
the members of a squirrel community share each other's efforts.
The general position of stored food probably is located slightly
by a sense of memory, but the actual position of individual nuts
is found by a keen sense of smell. Many buried nuts are not
recovered, and a large percentage of them sprout and eventually
become trees.

'Clutton-Brock (2002) recently provided evidence that the
benefits of cooperation in vertebrate societies, generally, may
show parallels to those in human societies, where cooperation
between unrelated individuals is frequent and social institutions
are often maintained by generalized cooperation and reciprocity.
Cooperation and affiliation represent behavioral tactics that can
be used by group members to obtain resources, provide comfort,
maintain or enhance their social position, or increase reproductive
opportunities (Brown, 1983; Sapolsky et al., 1997; Taylor et al.,
2000; Clutton-Brock et al., 2001; Clutton-Brock, 2002; Cheverud,
2004).

Yes I do deny it. I'm a bloke. I don't do diets, nutrition and eating
plans. I eat food I enjoy eating.

Not everything that people do often or more than other people do is an
addiction, or a problem. Going to church is not an addiction, neither is
riding a motorbike, or watching Arsenal play football or listening to
Hip-hop or playing bingo once a week. I don't do any of those things but
I don't regard them as addictions. They are choices. By all means point
out that there are other options, or better options, but calling options
you don't take up addictions does not make it so.

Billions of people are living long and healthy lives eating foods they
enjoy. There is no crisis, there is no need for any urgent wake up call,
the sky is not falling in Ms Tofu Little. And if it was any good reason
to eat less animal food the last thing any meat eater is going to do is
to take any lecture or evidence from a vegan. Vegans make their diet
choice based on their interpretation of morality, not on rational
evidence. Vegans blathering on about the health risks or environmental
impact of meat is as convincing as hearing the Pope blathering on about
sexually transmitted diseases or your dad telling you that cannabis
sends you crazy. You're wasting your time, no non-vegan takes you
seriously and they never will.

If you want more converts *look like you are actually enjoying your food*.

Animals impose themselves on other species, that's pretty much the basic
definition. Herbivores don't eat other animals, that is not a moral
choice it is a strategy of dietary specialism, and it has no benefits to
them in the form of making them immune from being eaten. Life is not a
contract with the universe.

Other species avoid us because they are rightly scared by us. Species
that don't know to be wary of us tend to go extinct within a couple
centuries of our species making landfall where they live. On small
islands that may be only a couple of years.

I do care about other species, I care a lot.

http://www.mwillett.org/Politics/cedars1.htm

I just don't express that care in the form of a self-flagellating
puritan dietary restriction that I wear on my sleeve in the hope of
making people to look up to me.

You've lost it. Torture is the deliberate inflicting of pain and
suffering for the purpose of inflicting pain and suffering. Carnivores
don't torture animals, they quickly bring down, immobilize and kill
their prey. Anything else is simply stupid, dangerous and a waste of effort.

A week ago I heard a shriek of alarm and I turned around, there in the
road beside me three metres away a small bird of prey had just caught a
thrush in mid air, the prey was about 60% of the size of hawk, there was
no way it could fly with a struggling payload of that size. It must have
been no more than three seconds from first contact to death, and the
hawk flew off again carrying its prize inert between its talons.

A quick kill is in the best interests of any carnivore. Prolonged agony
only occurs when they prey is too big or strong to be killed quickly,
e.g hyaenas taking down wildebeste or man tackling whales.

People don't torture their food. People sometimes torture prisoners or
slaves and sickos sometimes torture cats and the like but it is very
rare to see any combination of deliberate inflicting of suffering with
eating. People sometimes torture what they hate but they don't eat what
they hate or torture what they eat.

There are no frugivores in Britain. You can only live as a frugivore in
a tropical or sub-tropical forest environment. Anywhere else and there
are too many days with no fruit to survive on such a specialized diet.

We are not monkeys anymore. Besides, monkeys do not share their fruit,
do they? Monkeys are frugivores. Most frugivores are selfish and
uncaring little buggers who would bite your finger off and spit it out.

If that is the case belittling meat is belittling skill, judgement, and
intelligence. Or in biological terms fitness.

If you prefer to be guilty of that then so be it.

It is you who are bullshitting. I note you didn't use the full word,
more evidence of Puritan tendencies perhaps.

I didn't notice rats, cockroaches and weasels on those lists. Snails
were distained by many Europeans along with all other small animals as
food. In general eating small animals or offal as a regular part of the
diet indicates poverty.

However...

Delicacies such as lark's tongues, songbirds, dormice and caviar are
eaten as a form of conspicuous consumption because they are small and
fiddly and not really worth the bother of preparing and eating yourself
but providing such food at a banquet demonstrates the size of your
kitchen staff (a substitute for your own phallus perhaps) and a sign of
your refined tastes, demonstrating that you are not new to riches and
are treating your guests to the very best that is available without
regard to cost.

Quite so. Apart from their choice.

It is possible to have a healthy diet that is vegan. However it is much
easier to have a healthy diet that is not vegan.

Pathetic. Squirrels bury their nuts and often other squirrels smell them
out and dig them up. That is not co-operation any more than having money
available in poor parts of American cities in the tills of liquor stores
is part of the social services to the armed poor.

Squirrels bury nuts out of the way of birds. The fact that they bury
nuts rapidly and singly is evidence that they do not trust other
squirrels. It is not a cooperative strategy, it is the opposite.
Squirrels do not take more than five seconds to bury a nut because any
more effort is likely to be wasted if another squirrel takes the nut and
a nut is not worth fighting over. Bury rapidly to hide from visual-based
competitors. Don't get too annoyed if it is stolen. Don't waste more
energy on a nut than the nut offers in the form of food. That is a
strategy that makes sense all ways around.

Herbivores do not co-operate in gathering food. It is a simple
statement. I am standing here with my legs wide open and asking you to
take a running kick. But you can't come up with any evidence.

Food sharing and co-operative food gathering among herbivores? No.

You don't understand how this works, do you? I am not going to read

am I going to conclude that that there must be some evidence in it
otherwise you wouldn't have posted the link.

No we are not. We are omnivores. Monkeys are frugivorous primates.
Monkeys live in tropical forests. Man lives in almost all habitats on
the planet, that is only possible because we are naturally, comfortably,
healthily and FREELY omnivorous.

To share with their families, not to share with unrelated individuals,

Grace? Meaningless Puritan piffle.

If I thank something that is dead or does not exist and does not have
the capacity to know or care about that thanks how is my future improved?


<willett opinion snipped>

Sorry, should that have been somebody else's opinion before you decide
it is worth reading?

Why be Thankful? M. Willett BA, 2006, alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian,
alt.food.vegan,

What do you mean by be thankful? I do not believe in anything that needs
to be thanked or appeased for the survival of my species. If I am not
grateful or thankful the reality is the same. Mankind has survived. Not
eating animals is not paying back any debt. Not eating animals earns us
no credit. There is no balance sheet. There is no avenging god or alien
butcher from hell going to make us pay for our sins. If you don't eat
meat all that happens is you don't eat meat.

I don't believe in gods or karma or some Earth Spirit, and if you do
believe in such things that belief does not make it so, for you or for
anybody.

If you don't want to eat animals that is a choice you are free to make
but don't expect to be treated as a heroine for trying to impose your
morality and your reasoning on the rest of humanity.

Treating others as you would like to be treated makes sense when you are
dealing with agents capable of understanding your behaviour and
reciprocating. Animals don't understand and cannot reciprocate. The
universe does not understand and cannot reciprocate either.

What goes around goes around and what comes around comes around. You
can't make your life better by propitious sacrifices to an uncaring
universe. Sacrificing eating animal products doesn't buy you any favours
except with the minority of people who think like you do. If you don't
eat meat you are just as likely to have your carrots nibbled by rabbits
and your lettuces chewed by slugs.

Lifestyles truly worth emulating don't need to be promoted. If your
lifestyle was truly superior people would notice.



There, a proper citation. That should be convincing eh?


You just want people to beat themselves up about food. Guilt is
unhealthy. If you feel guilt about eating meat don't eat it. But to
force that guilt onto other people is an aggressive act, for want of a
better term I would call it an act of evil.
