If you live in a climate where you can't grow flax seed, if you're a developing-world subsistence farmer, if, if, if... then a vegan diet is inappropriate, and quite possibly irresponsible.<BR/><BR/>The more I look at it, the more I see that veganism is a luxury that only affluent people in the developed world can afford. Only we have the time and technology to be able to maintain it properly.<BR/><BR/>Of course, none of this changes the undeniable fact that the overwhelming majority of people in the affluent developed world eat far more meat than we have evolved to handle.Pseudonymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272326070593532463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-4148484657547649552008-10-04T16:30:00.000-07:002008-10-04T16:30:00.000-07:00Oh, and you need to make sure flax seed oil is kep...Oh, and you need to make sure flax seed oil is kept refrigerated. Best to buy oil produced locally rather than imported from overseas. And you can't cook with it, because it loses it's properties when heated.

No need to kill fish :) I take flax seed oil every day. You can have it in a fruit smoothie, on your cereal or in your salad dressing. Or you can just take it straight (I have 1 tablespoon morning and evening, and sometimes one during the day as well). I can highly recommend it to anyone with asthma.Jantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575106241965341083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-41723333594007521642008-10-04T15:44:00.000-07:002008-10-04T15:44:00.000-07:00Can't we just get along?Can't we just get along?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-23330600910809335282008-10-03T06:35:00.000-07:002008-10-03T06:35:00.000-07:00"jeff. piraro doesn't try to convert anyone"Shortc..."jeff. piraro doesn't try to convert anyone"<BR/><BR/>Shortcake, I didn't mean he is try to convert people or anything else, I just meant that he evangelizes, preaches, speaks a lot about those subjects.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17879874875072332243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-89822115394130449062008-10-03T06:32:00.000-07:002008-10-03T06:32:00.000-07:00Shortcake:We are using evangelize as in the first ...Shortcake:<BR/><BR/>We are using evangelize as in the first example.<BR/><BR/>Verb <BR/>1. evangelize - preach the gospel (to)<BR/>evangelise<BR/>preach, prophesy - deliver a sermon; "The minister is not preaching this Sunday" <BR/><BR/>2. evangelize - convert to Christianity; "The missionaries evangelized the Pacific Islanders"<BR/>evangelise<BR/>convert - cause to adopt a new or different faith; "The missionaries converted the Indian population"Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17879874875072332243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-449644277879917302008-10-02T21:37:00.000-07:002008-10-02T21:37:00.000-07:00I'm always torn on comments like this.On one hand,...I'm always torn on comments like this.<BR/><BR/>On one hand, people should know where their food comes from. Even for omnivores, what humans eat has ethical implications, and we should all be fully informed.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, a lot of pseudoscience gets trotted out by both sides. Any causal connection between omnivorism and stroke, for example, is tenuous at best and nonexistent at worst. (There are no credible studies which link them causally, and the non-credible ones usually don't control for things like sedentary lifestyle.)<BR/><BR/>And yes, there's pseudoscience on the other side, such as the "our eyes face forward" bit.<BR/><BR/>Apart from certain groups like the Inuit who are carnivorous by necessity, humans and their near-relatives (e.g. Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon, chimpanzees) are all <I>occasional</I> meat eaters. In our early milennia, most of our diet was from gathering, with the occasional hunt thrown in to give us the nutrients that gathering usually doesn't.<BR/><BR/>Westerners typically eat more meat than we've evolved to handle. A diet that involves, say, one meat meal a week, is probably the closest to what we've historically consumed.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, only affluent Westerners could possibly eat a vegan diet, because it relies critically on modern agriculture, transportation and so on. In most places in the world, an organic localvore environmentally-sustainable vegan diet is essentially impossible. In particular, pretty much all subsistence farmers couldn't manage it.<BR/><BR/>That's why I think that lacto-ovo-vegetarianism, with some fish for omega-3 thrown in, is much more realistic for most of humanity.Pseudonymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272326070593532463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-64753766759647870942008-10-02T18:19:00.000-07:002008-10-02T18:19:00.000-07:00sayotte316 -- This may sound rude, but if you want...sayotte316 -- This may sound rude, but if you want people to comment on your long stories, and I know you have a blogspot website, why not post the stories on your blogspot website and invite people to join you?<BR/><BR/>My response to something that long is how fast can I scroll to the bottom.

What matters is that we can survive perfectly well and healthy (even healthier!) on a vegan diet, and so it comes down to choice. Most of us have that choice. On that note, I hope you all had a happy World Vegetarian Day! :) As for me, I'm looking forward to World Vegan Day on the 1st of November. I'll be going to a Vegan Day picnic amongst the blossoms in the Botanic Gardens, but for those of you in the northern hemisphere, look out for potluck dinners or food give-aways somewhere near you :) If you're an omnivore, just try it! It won't kill you (or anyone else, for that matter) :)Jantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575106241965341083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-42392458973387209112008-10-02T16:59:00.000-07:002008-10-02T16:59:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.SAYOTTE316https://www.blogger.com/profile/04532263143359990278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-84568670320266072742008-10-02T16:24:00.000-07:002008-10-02T16:24:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816103831811485260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-90682511667158948352008-10-02T16:02:00.000-07:002008-10-02T16:02:00.000-07:00"Weird, the rabbit's mouth looks like human female..."Weird, the rabbit's mouth looks like human female labia."<BR/><BR/>What does human male labia look like?Loriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09347824570701761729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-13411037139820908542008-10-02T15:49:00.000-07:002008-10-02T15:49:00.000-07:00well, evangelize actually means to convert to chri...well, evangelize actually means to convert to christianity, so both piraro AND jeff are wrong.<BR/><BR/>i see jeff's point, that yes- dan does talk about his beliefs a lot on here, and he does it quite often.<BR/><BR/>but i have to say, jeff. piraro doesn't try to convert anyone.. he simply tells how his own choices are good for him and wants to share the wealth. <BR/><BR/>when you discover a new great way to cook potatos, the first thing you want to do is spread the good news. but people already like chips, and french fries and baked potatos, so they don't want to try your new-fangled way of preparing potatos. you want to try in all your being to at LEAST get people to TRY your new potato, but you know that if they don't like it they can yunno, NOT eat it.<BR/><BR/>he knows being vegan is healthier than most diets out there, and he is trying to share his knowledge. but i wouldn't call it evangelizing. he's not trying to make us blindly obey him for any kind of gain. and i say "good for you" for at least having beliefs and sticking to your guns. shows the strength of knowledge, and nun of us iz dummys, yo.HollyBerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17393159274810967794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-70729679956847784702008-10-02T15:36:00.000-07:002008-10-02T15:36:00.000-07:00that's me sitting on the couch... i scrutinize eve...that's me sitting on the couch... i scrutinize every single advertisement i see and make up the "new" slogan as it would be if it told the truth. my friend gets mad at me.HollyBerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17393159274810967794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-83616673676636104672008-10-02T15:22:00.000-07:002008-10-02T15:22:00.000-07:00Concerning the blog:I can't stand the smell of rot...Concerning the blog:<BR/><BR/>I can't stand the smell of rotting flesh, but that is why God gave us FIRE ...mmm....
