Vegetarians and vegans should plan their diets carefully to avoid negative consequences:

I have a number of chronic health conditions including PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), which often causes diabetes. In my case, I am able to reduce carbs to control the symptoms and hopefully will never have full blown diabetes (my mom is insulin resistant so this is a real threat). An...

Anyone see this doc (now streaming on Netflix)? It argues that the livestock industry is far worse for the environment than from cars/fossil fuels, etc. Also that the major environmental groups (Greenpeace, etc) don't want to talk about that. A bit amateurish in some ways and definitely...

When I watch people who smoke, I often ask myself how can they do it. What is it that makes these people tick. They deliberately engage in a vice that they know will probably hasten their own death. Is it because they really don't enjoy life and dying early is OK with them. Is it because...

I keep seeing a statement like this in comments on Mother Jones articles: if we switch to an all vegetarian diet, our former food animals will go extinct. What's the logic behind this? I can almost see it being true for larger land animals like cows, but we don't eat horses and they aren't...

Since this is the elephant in the room on the foie gras thread, I thought I would start a thread on the merits of vegetarianism and veganism versus meat eating. I will start the discussion and hopefully we can critically think on some issues in this area. I am a meat eater but I am also a...

Vegetarianism is the practice of following a diet based on plant-based foods including fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, nuts, and seeds, with or without dairy products and eggs. A vegetarian does not eat meat, game, poultry, fish, crustacea, shellfish, or products of animal slaughter such as...

Linky. Linky. Linky. Linky. So I saw an advertisement for this website on the train and thought about checking it out. Of course, it has the scary videos of how we get our meat products. But it also has the information above that I have heard alluded to in other sources as well. And don't...

Let's keep an eye on this one.

I know being rude about vegans has the feel somehow of kicking a puppy, what with their gentle, animal loving natures and all but this example of the death of an innocent caused by trendy dietary faddishness has made my blood boil. Yuri

Is there any scientific proof that shows that meat is horrible on the body if not eaten in excess? I am looking to complete an arguement with my mother who is a vegan because she don't like hurting animals but trys to persuade me on a constant basis to convert to her veganism for health...

ok, so I frequent another board and every single day, this guy comes and posts links to recipies, pushing veganism as the choice for a new generation. Think of a food Jehovahs Witness and you've got this guy pegged. in addition, he makes claims about "meat eaters" that I'm sure are absolute...
