Perhaps this will wipe that smug look off their face.
Somehow this just makes living all the sweeter.
I have had it with the morally superior arguments of the militantly vegan. They can spout all the well-crafted arguments they want to, it's never going to change biological reality. And now, it can carry criminal consequences. Here's some highlights from Nina Planck's article:
When Crown Shakur died of starvation, he was 6 weeks old and weighed 3.5 pounds. His vegan parents, who fed him mainly soy milk and apple juice, were convicted in Atlanta recently of murder, involuntary manslaughter and cruelty."
I've seen animals, predatory animals, subjected to the dietary whim of those who don't believe anything should eat another creature. Ninety-nine percent of the time, it meant the animal suffered a slow, painful death by malnutrition. Of course, that gets less press than when the victims are human.
I can almost hear the howls of outrage already.
Hard to argue with physiology though.
The fact remains, though, that humans prefer animal proteins and fats to cereals and tubers, because they contain all the essential amino acids needed for life in the right ratio. This is not true of plant proteins, which are inferior in quantity and quality — even soy."
I swear the worst enemy of mankind is it's insistence in believing as truth what it finds comfortable or convenient, instead of what simply is.An adult who was well-nourished in utero and in infancy may choose to get by on a vegan diet, but babies are built from protein, calcium, cholesterol and fish oil. Children fed only plants will not get the precious things they need to live and grow."
