Seems a lot of people in India seem to do quite well on a vegetarian diet without meat or pills. Jains in particular.
Yeah, and they're like 5'3.
Many inner city kids do quite well on candy bars and Little Debbie's. Have you seen the size of some of these athletes nowadays? And many of them are being raised on nothing but junk food.
The type that does not consume any animal products.
That would make you a raw vegan.
I find Indians cover a similar range of sizes as other people. I go over there fairly often.Yeah, and they're like 5'3.

I've been to India as well, and the men are short. Not all of them, of course there are a range of sizes. But isn't unusual to encounter men 5'6 or less. I don't have that experience here.
Perhaps genetics too? Height is determined by more than just diet. I know that a minority of Indians are vegetarians.I didn't comment on the size of vegans so I don't see how I was incorrect. But relax, it was just an observation, I wasn't starting a debate, this time.
I don't know, I'm guessing pre-natal health and diet have a lot to do with it. I don't doubt that a vegetarian diet can be healthy if not healthier option for some people. It just takes more effort to get it right and I would guess it takes some attention and a basic knowledge of nutrition. I'm personally not interested and am willing to live with any consequences eating meat may cause.
My understanding is there are two types of vegans. The real vegans will only eat raw veggies, fruits, etc. and will not touch anything that has been cooked, processed or anything else that came from an animal. The other side will eat processed or cooked foods as long as they think there are no animal byproducts in them, and they most generally have no qualms about wearing makeup, running shoes, belts, using soap/shampoo, owning a car with leather seats, etc., etc.
What about make-up? Don't they do animal testing for cosmetics? Maybe there's a vegan-friendly version out now, I don't know. I would ask if your wife is pro-life, but that probably wouldn't be well received here.
The majority of your faux "milk comes from the store" vegans don't have the slightest clue that many of the keratins, glycerins, stearins, etc. found in the everyday foods and products they consume are derived from animals.

Put it this way. There's not much we (vegan or no vegan) that we eat, wear, or consume these days that doesn't contain some sort of animal byproducts. Nothing goes to waste at the slaughter house!

One side is real... the other side is fake. Most vegans are hypocrites.
Sure about that? Most of the vegans I know make our own soymilk from soybeans.The majority of your faux "milk comes from the store" vegans don't have the slightest clue that many of the keratins, glycerins, stearins, etc. found in the everyday foods and products they consume are derived from animals.
That article doesn't really refute what he's saying. Sure, slaughterhouses are a messy business but the animal itself doesn't get tossed in the trash once the meat is taken off the carcass. That article refers to the electricity required to run the plants as "frightening". So it's not really the best place to get the truth.
Gotta love it when arrogant know-it-alls speak from utter ignorance.
OMG! That article is so funny I don't even have any words for the ignorance being displayed.

I grew up in a town that has one of the largest cattle slaughter houses in the nation. Believe me... I know where every single part of a bovine goes if it's not going to the supermarket. Even the wastewater is treated and re-used. As for the manure/methane, the majority of that is captured and used to generate electricity and fuel for the feedlots that prep the cattle for slaughter.
Gotta love the "greenies"... always writing and spewing pablum about something they don't have the vaguest clue about. Just like the "anti-gun" crowd. What's worse, is all the sheep that don't know how think for themselves and buy into all that garbage.

So which is going to warm the atmosphere more... the 25% of H2O or the 0.0360% trace amount of CO2? You guys picked the wrong gas to make the bad guy. You guys should've picked Argon or something, it sounds more sinister and scary. Of course the welders and light bulb makers might get a little testy.
