"Yes, that makes sense. Those deficiencies also make vegans, in my personal experience, rather aggressive and militant. I'm serious. At one point in my work, dealing with people in long conversations over the phone for interviews, I got so I could pretty well nail the vegans because of their veiled aggressiveness. Makes sense ... dairy bulls and hippopatami are both very aggressive and deadly and kill many people every year, more than lions and tigers and other carnivores. Also ... Hitler was a vegetarian. Not sure if he was a vegan, but it is common historical knowledge that he was a vegetarian. What a peace loving guy HE was ... NOT! Definite brain imbalance there!"
I switched to a lo-carb lifestyle a few years ago, and I've paid a lot of attention to people and their behavior and their diets, as switching led me to discover how much of my personality and moods were slaves to carbs/sugar. Since switching, I think better, think clearer, remember more, and my mood is stable as a rock - I'm happy and positive most of the time, with a sense of well-being I NEVER had eating sugars and carbs.
Vegans I've noticed, from watching my friends who are stupid enough to adopt that lifestyle, are always cranky, pissy, depressed, hard to motivate, always tired and achy, get sick far more frequently than everyone else, and eat massive amounts of refined sugar and carbs to replace the missing protein in their diets. They frequently complain of being hungry, too.
Only one I know went vegan for "moral" reasons, and soon was eating fish again, as they "suffered less". Whatever. Most "vegans" are'nt really, they just won't eat the verboten foods in front of anyone else.
The mindset of veganism is similar to some of the Buddahist sects, in that it holds every living being as sacred...but with dizzy liberals in this country, it's a selective sacredness - they won't eat a cow, but they'll kill a fetus. It's all hollow and a fraud, and more pretentiousness than anything else - it used to be you lorded over everyone else if you drove a better car, or belonged to a better country club, now you lord it over other people because you "care" more, and are more "compassionate". (In a highly selective manner, of course, ask your neighboring liberal if they could show Carl Rove any compassion.) (It's fun, really, try it. Their reactions are *priceless*. Do it in front of someone who could be swayed to voting conservative, too, it's a great lesson in why liberals really do suck.)
I truly believe in pre-civilization communities, liberals where the ones they let starve outside the cave, because they were too stupid to come in from the rain.
Another reason WEAPONS made the man, not the other way around.
Modern chimpanzees hunt animals too. They will attack animals the size of a dog in gangs and rip it apart alive. Teamwork does for them what humans would use a weapon for.
Yeah, but they use their teeth - we use a gun or knife, or a spear or sword.
I mean as in grab it with their grubby little hands and pull.
I don't like hunting so I don't eat meat.
I'm vegan. I'm not stupid at all. Don't think all vegans are the way that PETA fanatics are.
Madcow is believed to be due to prions which are perverted proteins. They don't cook away. In fact they have been found in the smoke of incinerators.
Yeah they do that too. But those big canines aren't just for decoration. Trust me. I've worked with Rhesus Monkeys. Never got tagged though.
The weapon made the man.
That's what you call starchetarians. I don't miss meat and dairy at all. I'm very healthy as well. Just as you can point out hostile vegans, I can point to hostile meat eaters. Hitler was a vegetarian but Joe Stalin ate meat.
Well, if you don't like hunting you shouldn't eat meat, or wear animals, or use any of the products made from them.And if you develop diabetes, or cancer, refuse to take treatments discovered through research on animals.
Curious though, how do you propose wildlife populations (like deer) be managed so that overpopulation does not occur?
I don't care what another person does. I'm just posting my person opinion about hunting and that is one of the reasons why I don't eat meat. Thank you.
Not good. Wonder if we are exposed to these nasty diseases and don't know it.
It takes me about 30 minutes from start to finish to field dress a deer, mostly because I'm still not real good with the pipes at the back end or with splitting the sternum. 15 minutes to set up / clean up since I keep my field dressing equipment and drag in my vehicle. The rest of the time was spent slogging through a quarter-mile of muddy field.
My wife was a vegetarian for 10 years. By about year 8 (2 years after I married her), she was having noticeable mood swings that were both viscious and aggressive. I cured her by taking her to a really nice french restaurant that didn't have any vegetarian dishes. She justified ordering venison on the grounds that it wasn't produced on a factory farm. After that, it was like watching a starved tiger tear into a plump spring lamb. Her mood swings stopped and she turned back into my blushing bride. It was so noticeable that it was wierd.
Understood. That is a critical part. I hate it if I get those little black jelly beans in the chest cavity. :-)
The rest of the time was spent slogging through a quarter-mile of muddy field.
That would definitely increase the time factor. I was very fortunate to shoot my buck from my driveway.
My buddy does a trick with a caping knife in which he just cuts out a 3 inch hole under the tail and through the pelvis. I've never been able to copy it, so I end up using a zip saw to go through the pelvis.
I work loose all the guts from the top carefully working backwards towards the anus, carefully cutting the diaphram and any other membrane holding it all into the stomach/chest cavity. I tilt the body sieways and let gravity pull the guts out.
I use a very sharp knife and cut around the anus (from the outside) until I can pull the intestines (colon) loose from the inside and dump everything onto the ground. The bladder, I try and cut it loose from the inside and remove it without spilling any fluids.
Then I hang it, split the sternum, remove the esophagus and spray it down well with the hose.
At this point I remove the hanging tenders and get them onto the grill to eat. :-)
The warm gut-pile (and the warm ribeye, for that matter) are just the payoff.
