I can't remember the references, but I do remember seeing meticulous analysis of hunter gatherer diets in a few places and, surprise!!!1 the gatherers (ie, the women) contributed more to the daily nutrition than the hunters (ie., men). <br /><br />Nothing against hunting. But sometimes it gets over-rated. And I think the paleo diet folks are bonkers.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389321571689128858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-24088866813478880052015-06-05T09:03:38.909-04:002015-06-05T09:03:38.909-04:00While show-off vegetarianism really does exist, es...While show-off vegetarianism really does exist, especially in the 'first world,' let's not forget that roughly 700 million South Asians of all income levels are lifelong, healthy vegetarians. There are, especially in Mumbai, apartment buildings where it's known that meat-cookers and -eaters are welcome; others where they are not, since just the smell of cooking meat truly (not pretentiously) repels genuine vegetarians.<br />Even in the US, it really is less expensive to be vegetarian, too, as long as one doesn't get carried away by some weird and unnecessary desire to consume the same produce all year round, and by the extremely limited charms of tofu and other creepy pseudo-meat items. I seriously question the veg-ism of those who can't manage to eat without $10-a-pound soy-based 'nuggets' and 'burgers' and 'wings' (oh my!).Madam le Consulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114522703563499422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-83220289807662621462015-06-04T17:24:03.590-04:002015-06-04T17:24:03.590-04:00Was it earlier on this blog that had me lol when I...Was it earlier on this blog that had me lol when I read, " 'Veg-e-tar-ian', is ancient word for bad hunter"? Maybe it needs the accompanying illustration for full effect.TEChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532804977801740123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-20425485165381582272015-06-04T14:45:02.797-04:002015-06-04T14:45:02.797-04:00Maybe not a trick or art but I think it's a sk...Maybe not a trick or art but I think it's a skill, which I would learn if I had to. In hong kong many animals are sold live for food. I'm sentimental enough to feel sorry for them but, yes, I'll still eat them. Well, maybe mot the toads.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02502528836501841285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-13992832846531418642015-06-04T14:04:37.552-04:002015-06-04T14:04:37.552-04:00Hmmmm, I suspect that what this person may meant t...Hmmmm, I suspect that what this person may meant to have said is "If most modern people had to kill their own food, most people would be vegetarians."<br /><br />I suspect that that might be true, although it might be more accurate to say that most modern people (at least, white urban people) would be dead if they had to kill their own food, whether that food is a bunny or a carrot. Hunger is a strong motivator, but stupidity and ineptitude are great handicaps.geonni bannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698766164965033468noreply@blogger.com
