Kapow,

Fellow "Atkid" here :) I too have lost quite a bit of weight on this diet and think its amazing. Altho it is a bit controversial, I have had no problems with it and will continue with his plan. Sorry so OT here.

Honey, I kept saying to my television, "Where are the vegis?" No vegis? You HGs like being constipated, is that it baby? Nope, I guess this crowd prefers to have dead animals on their plates with other food items setting in a pool of cooked blood coming out of the meat. With all the talk of contaminated meat these days (mad cow, E. Coli, and so forth), even if it's cooked to death, who wants to eat a nice plate of cooked cunka? Personally baby, I find meat disgusting. I just don't like eating dead animals because I have respect for animals. Give me my organic vegis, breads, grains, fruits and nuts.

As for the seafood, with the world's bodies of waters so polluted and many species endangered, seafood would be off limits for me too honey. It seems that what used to be some very modest concern for our environment has disappeared. The HGs were eating tuna the other night. Tuna is endangered. No one seemed concerned.

Jason (up the board aways) said that people are meant to eat meat. Jason that's not true baby. Our digestive systems are very long. Carnivours have extremely short digestive systems and that's why they're able to eat rotten meat. The stomach acid count in a carnivour is 60%. In a human, the stomach acid count is between 30-40% acid. And look at our teeth, our teeth are meant to be used for grinding, not ripping and tearing dead animals.

they probably only grabbed the condiments because they thought they were safe sex aids.

Veranda - Did you know that you can get E Coli from sprouts too?

Verdana

Ryan, yes I did know that honey but that still doesn't justify eating meat. You can also get E. Coli from melons. Anything that grows on the ground or touches the ground is susceptible. But E. Coli comes from the feces of dead animals. Yummy!

Just thought I'd stir the pot a bit.

Non-vegetarians rarely if ever tell veggies what to eat, why can't they do the same?

i don't have a problem with their eating habits, even if i don't eat anything with a face. but, i feel for mar, cause no one takes him into consideration. didn't he say that he doesn't eat meat? ok, i know, that he has eaten it while inside, but on the outside i am pretty sure that he has said that he hasn't.

Cyn, he said he doesn't eat meat very often. I don't take that to mean that he is a vegetarian but someone who limits their intake of red meat.

Vinnyinla, did you know that steak sauce makes a wonderful topping for steamed carrots and broccoli?

As point out earlier, as much as a number of them work out, I'm suprised they don't focus on a balanced diet. Not offended at how much meat they eat, just surprised they don't care that much to include more fruits/veggies.

Ryan says: Non-vegetarians rarely if ever tell veggies what to eat, why can't they do the same?

Ryan, that's quite a generalization you made there baby. I'm not sure how you can speak for "nonvegetarians" as a group and accurately make the statement you made. If you don't tell vegetarians what to eat, that's good, but honey rest assured that there are many meat eaters who do indeed tell vegetarians what to eat.

From my experience, the meat eaters (family members and friends)I know are always complaining that I don't eat meat. I do get very tired of it as do some of my vegetarian friends who say they get ragged on by meat eaters as well.

A number of them do workout, as someone said, while at the same time puffing on a cigar. That makes a lot of sense if one is health-conscious. I sense that their workouts are for achieving cosmetic attributes only and not really for health benefits. It's as bad as someone lighting a cig after a gym workout. Doesn't make any sense to me.

So Verdana, why are you ragging on meat eaters then? If you don't like to be told what to eat they why are you making such a big deal about how gross it is?
I had a roommate once that would be constantly bugging me about eating meat and i never said a freaking word back. In fact I would make sure I wouldn't cook any meat around her so I wouln't make her feel uncomfortable
So don't you generalize non-vegetarians

How have I ragged on meat eaters?...details please.

All I've done baby was to explain some facts about meat and the way it looks to me on a plate. GROSS indeed. I just tell it like it is honey. You're free to eat how and what you want. How is that ragging?

We were meant to eat animals....otherwise God wouldn't have made them out of meat!

Well, what does that say about me, if what I eat is 'gross'. It's all the undercurrent. I absolutely hate it when someone who happens to be a vegitarian goes off on how gross meat is and what is in it thats bad and how terrible it is for me. Regardless of the intent, what comes across is totally condesending. I personally go out of my way to make vegetarians comfortable and then I get told my eating habits are gross?
To me thats the same as ragging on me.

Honey, do you often feel this way or respond this way when someone presents facts and information to you about nutrition and food? I think it's a valid question. Your response reminds me of a close relative who told me: It's best not to know what is in food. I said REALLY? Ignorance is bliss, huh?...I said to my relative.

Veranda - I don't know about Cute but when someone tells me how "bad" meat is, I feel like they're trying to convert me so to speak.

No, I think you should give me credit, since you don't know me, I'll tell you I am quite informed about the dangers of eating animal fat. It is a choice I make. Meat also has vitamins that are good for you (yes they can be found in vegies etc). My point is that when you go off about how terrible it is for me and it's all stuff i've heard a million times before you sound condesending! You come from a position of look at how much I know and look how stupid you are just because I make a choice of eating meat.
I know plenty about the MANY things people eat and do that are bad for them, I'm just saying that when You start that familiar lecture you sound condesending, 'honey'
