I bet they even wash their tooth just for you

We have a landscape maintenance business. Years ago, we were one of several companies that a retirement community had gotten maintenance bids from. They had each of us take care of the property for a month. We had some cute guys on our crew, and the old ladies definitely noticed! I'm sure they were very disappointed when we didn't get the contract . . . .

Oz,we're far too tolerant to get into such debates. Although if you get a fruitarian to start defending their diet, I'd love to hear about considering a carrots feelings.

Bama, my apologies.

Hey vehve plants may have feelings, I don't mean emotions though I sure don't know... I mean a sense of peril when we harvest them... There are studies of interest on the subject any how... That's why I just eat everything ( almost ) and can't say for sure one life form suffers more or less when I eat it...
Does that make a raw food diet sadistic?

Sam,yeah, I saw something about plants having a pain resembling mechanism.

Extreme fruitarians only eat plants that die naturally, like fallen apples and stuff. That's messed up.

Agreed

What about that sunshine and water crap, that's bat s*** crazy.... In my opinion.

I like the doughnut diet.

Doughnuts--the only food that recombine after eating them...




It reforms itself back into a doughnut shape around your waist!

Not enough energy for a heated debate.

The Paleo diet is based on hunter/gatherer diets prior to 10,000 years ago. The premise being that genetically, we have changed little since then.
My wife started a paleo kick about a year ago, however she cooks everything and still uses a little bread. I've been doing it quite a bit longer and prefer raw/rare.
I've avoided foods with chemical additives for nearly 20 years. Things like preservatives, artificial flavors and red dye #6 type things. No sugar, no soda, rarely anything out of a package.

Some cultures that have been using dairy for thousands of years have evolved to tolerate lactose. That would be middle eastern and Andean cultures among others.

Interestingly, Ötzi, the Tirolean Ice Man (dating from between 3000 and 3400 BC) and some 5,000 years after paleo man was apparently from a farmer culture near Sardinia. He suffered from a high carb, high grain diet and bad teeth. The last thing he ate was grains and meat from an Ibex. He was also lactose intolerant.
He has at least 19 living relatives in Austria today.

There's a chapter - "The Food Remains from the Colon of the Tyrolean Ice Man" - in the book "Bones and the Man", ISBN 978-1-84217-060-1

I'm sure they're depressed when pulled up by the roots and not immediately transplanted.

So most herbivorous animals are cruel to plants.

I like the ones where they accidentally edit out a limb and print it.

Huh? You chopping up babies now?

Agreed

I find them a hoot.... The fruit people....

I like teasing vegetarians about all the bugs that died so that head of lettuce could be produced.



I am bad, aren't I?
