The Least Harm Principle Suggests that Humans Should Eat Beef, Lamb, Dairy, not a Vegan Diet

We don't worship cows, if everyone here was a vegan there would be no cows or pigs. The species would have to be seen in the zoo. No one would keep them as pets,
there would be no reason for them to survive. This guy also talks about urbanization keeping animals from their habitat? Some animals need their space, elk, wolves to mention a couple but many co-exist very well with man. I live right in the center of Houston, at this minute I have 2 swamp rabbits, 6 squirells, 2 dozen doves, black birds & various other birds in my back yard. At night I find evidence of racoons, possums, armadillos & rats out there (I haven't smelled a skunk in several years). They don't care that this neighborhood was established 50 years ago. The east coast is eaten up with white tailed deer & other things that don't mind living with man. West coast mountian lions carry off joggers occasionaly. This writer is nuts.

Actually, this is the greatest article I've seen in a long time.

I want you to know that that is the funniest thing I think I have ever read. I owe your kid brother and you dinner sometime, and I'm not kidding!

[ChemistCat]

DO read freepatriot32's story. I busted some seams laughing.

Do these janes not worry about the loss of this valuable habitat for the lice and fleas?

[djf]

Yup. Our teeth show us the same thing. Plus, the microbiology. Dogs, who don't eat fruits, manufacture their own Vitamin C. Our diet requires additional vitamin B's, in fact some vegetarians suffer the effects of not enough B.

You should enter that one in a Christmas short story contest. It's great. You'd win!

[Sabatier]

Great story!

[upchuck]

he concludes that humans have a moral obligation to consume a vegan

Lemee see if I got this right. He concludes that we are morally obligated to be canibals? Oh, goodness, where's Idi Amin when you need him?

[George W. Bush]

Animals have morals? Tell that to my dog when he's licking his private parts in public...

No one said they had good morals.

[CobaltBlue]

That is a very cool story.

"sorry to be ther bearer of bad news but its [sic] true heck there is a religion in india called the janes that are so vegan the wont [sic] cut thier hair with scissors in case there is [sic] any lice or fleas in it that wil l get killed they pull all of thier [sic] hair out one strand at a time until they are completely bald"

Please. Jains.

Someone told me that Ghandi's parents were Jains and convinced themselves that they could not even consume plants morally...so they starved themselves to death.

Dunno if it's true. But it started me thinking...if you pick fruit that has fallen from the tree, carefully preserve the seeds, and eat it--and then plant the seeds, would that be morally acceptable to a Jain?

Feh! The real answer is to eat what you like within healthy limits. I had veal sznicel, kapusta, beets with chrzen, lettuce and tomatoes for dinner. Polish, yummy, and also OK for diabetics. No desert (sigh!).

So there!

BTTT!!!!!

[happygrl]

That is a classic story and so unbelieveable, I know it's true.

Those kind of things DO happen.

What a good chuckle to start my day.
