I don't think there's anything wrong with eating meat in itself. It all depends on the quality and the quantity of the meat you're consuming. Our bodies were never designed to be eating meat in the quantities that it's consumed these days. And the demand for 'cheap' food has driven a meat industry that is ****ing grotesque. My missus is a vegetarian so we don't cook a lot of meat at home. I'll have a bacon butty once/twice a week and then a Sunday roast every other week, and my weakness is air dried Salami / Charcuterie, which is probably some of the most processed meat you can get. If I do buy pork, chicken, beef etc then I get it from my friend who rears his own. I know those animals have been grass fed out on the cliffs near where I live and I know it's quality meat that hasn't been pumped full of antibiotics/chemicals.
I eat very little meat now. I hate it when I think about animals being born and raised without a life, just to end up on some ****ers dinner plate. They were here before us. I don't see how we have the right to treat them like that. I would never ever eat meat out of a supermarket now. It wont be long before I'm at the point where I'll only eat meat if I see it die naturally in front of me, or it gets killed accidentally in a road accident or something, and then I can skin it myself to make sure the meats good.
Going back to Luv's earlier posts about teeth; he's right our teeth don't resemble a carnivore. Our teeth match those accustomed to soft foods such as fruit, or softer leaves. Our earlier ancestors had larger molars and stronger jaws were more appropriate for harder tougher vegetation. No doubt we evolved from creatures who were primarily vegetarian in nature. However, if you look at our digestive system and our gut we look more like an omnivore, we don't look like a herbivore. So that shows that our species has been evolving away from being a herbivore for a while. That said, what is healthiest for us is probably still a mostly vegetable bases diet. The fad the last decade or two has been low carbs but I think that is only partially correct. The problem isn't carbs, it is specifically simple sugars and refined carbs. Complex carbohydrates and fibre are hugely important for our health. If you look at all the longest lived societies in the world they all share one thing in common. A diet high in vegetable fibre, very few refined carbs and very little meat. Meat tastes fantastic, and a lot of people have lost a lot of weight on high protein diets. Long term though eating too much meat is not ideal for human health and well-being. Fruit (not fruit juice, you need the fibre) and veggies are the most important part of a healthy diet.
I can't imagine hedgehog tastes very good. I've never wanted pricks in my mouth either. I eat meat, but I've cut back dramatically over the last year or so. Cholesterol a little high and I have high uric acid... Both genetic , but trying to budge both numbers down through diet. (A futile attempt unfortunately) I would absolutely prefer to eat lab grown meat to meat from slaughtered animals as long as the price difference wasn't too steep. I could probably be vegetarian if Indian food was more common here. Indian cuisine has a lot of really delicious vegetarian dishes.
I've got a friend who sells game. He gets it from estates etc where they shoot Pheasant, Pigeon, Rabbits, Deer etc. That meat is about a wild as it gets and there's an abundance of those animals in the British countryside. From an ecological perspective it makes a lot of sense to eat game. He was saying that a lot of estates were shooting rabbits and pheasant etc just to keep their numbers down and throwing the carcasses away, so he takes them, plucks, skins and cuts them up into fillets etc and turned it into a business. It's quality meat too. Lean and full of protein with very little fat and zero chemicals, antibiotics etc. And the animals are wild and haven't been bred in **** conditions to simply be slaughtered for their meat.
Back on roadkill. When I first moved to the US before streaming music and before I had satellite radio in the car I used to listen to local radio. I remember they were doing the traffic report before an ad break and mentioned an accident involving someone hitting a deer. Immediately after the ad break the DJ had to come on to the radio to tell everyone to stop calling and jamming up the lines, he doesn't have any information on whether anyone has claimed the deer yet. I found it amusing so many people trying to be the first to go get the fresh roadkill... But I guess, why not, if you know how to prepare the meat yourself. That's a lot of free meat.
A girl I went to Uni with did the same. She was a proper Hereford country bumpkin type and if she found a Pheasant that had been killed on the road, she'd stop and pick it up, take it home, pick out the bits of asphalt and chop it up and cook it. She also used to keep a spade in the boot of her car to finish off any Badgers, Foxes etc that had been hit by cars and we're dying in pain by the roadside.
I have cut down on the amount of meat I eat and get better quality meat than I used to. I'm not saying it good or bad but when you watch animals being slaughtered it's not very nice.
Pretty sure all Leave voters exist on a diet of Kestrel Lager and Papa John's (Prosecco and KFC on giro days)? So they probably aren't that fragrant either, after a day spent watching Jeremy Kyle on the Matalan sofa.
“And on that day, the lion shall lie down with the lamb.” Like **** will he! If that did happen, the lion would no longer be a lion, it would simply be a massive pussy.
What? go learn some ****ing biology instead of getting your information from memes. We're meat eaters, our digestive system, though suitable for an omnivorous diet, is more suited to carnivorous one, which is why we have haem receptors in our intestines. They are for extracting protein from meat, which is why we are terrible at extracting it from plants. We have no caecum either, that's probably the biggest tell-tale which it's never mentioned in memes. what a surprise, an hilariously cherrypicked 'fact' sheet, going to compare us to gorilla's next? Have you heard of steak tartar? After you've read up about that, you can go and eat a yummy raw potato. then you can explain how it's possible Inuits exist in a land of no vegatation. ****ing vegan propaganda, compare some digestive sytems, you know, the bit that actually processes the food, compare the caecum, small and large intestines, find out what they're for and then come back. When you've done all that, slap the person who sent you this **** too.
yes they were, though 'evolved' woul dbe a better word. We can live very well on a pure animal diet, as long as you include the organs such as the liver, heart, lungs, kidney, brain and lenty of the fat, the problem is eating just muscle.
Remainers won’t know this mate, they shop only for tinned food in Lidl in preparation for Armageddon.
