Don't most animals find foods that are good for them to smell/taste appetizing? Ignoring things like processed and refined foods, of course. I love the taste of vegetables and whole grains, but I also love dairy and occasionally eating meat.

There's also no reason to grow large, sharp teeth, claws, a stronger digestive system, etc. if we adapted to hold weapons and cook our food to make it easier to digest too.

Not to mention that lactase persistence after childhood in some part of the adult population means that they adapted to consume milk after childhood, as no plants have lactose. So we definitely aren't herbivores, but we aren't carnivores either. The majority of our food should probably still be plants, they taste good and provide health benefits, but so do moderate amounts of animal products along with them.

Nah, the .9% increase was from cancer.org or something.

>The excess risk in the highest category of processed meat-eaters is comprised between 20 and 50% compared with non-eaters
So it's still only increasing the risk from 5% to 6%-7.5% at most. It's not something to ignore, but it's also mainly from processed meat and not fresh meat. Eating processed meat with vitamin C or some other things which I can't remember off the top of my head also mitigated the risk. And I think it was mainly due to oxidation of fat causing problems, not that it's because we aren't meant to eat meat.

>Only?
Well, "only" when compared to saying "a 50% increase" which sounds a lot higher than saying "from 5% to 7.5%". Statistically it means potentially thousands of more deaths, and is something that definitely needs to be addressed and dealt with. But going vegan won't automatically solve the issue, because if more people went vegan, you'd probably get similar issues from vegan foods that are more likely to have oxidized fats or anything else like processed meats. There's probably a way to eliminate the risk from processed meat or just figure out better preservation methods so more people eat fresh meat instead of processed meat.

>> No.11256445

Ironically, we don't need "new" or "Better" preservation methods. We just need to go back to the old ones.

So what's the objective criteria for carnivory?

>Biologically, their biology, their physiology, their responses to a diet of plant matter
That's Deepak Chopra levels of ambiguity. If the definition can't make any independently testable/verifiable/falsifiable predictions then it has nothing to do with biology or science for that matter.

>It would actually be the exact opposite that you are doing, ignoring a self admitted totality
There was never any totality presented in the first place, nor a statistical threshold for when something becomes totality.

>But that’s really not the point. Because again as we know by every metric, cats can have “herbivorous” traits and behaviors which is an otherwise miniscule amount, it doesn’t make them herbivores, to make that claim isn’t ignoring anything as much as it is simply being reasonable.
Quantify this 'minuscule amount'

>Why exactly do you think an overwhelming minority should take over the majority? Because that’s not how it works in any way even if you have a black swan
We're talking about definitions here. You don't get to define "herbivore" by amending ad hoc members like pandas, just like how you don't get to define "gravity" by Newtonian means with an extra special equation that just applies for Mercury's orbit.

>You reject actual total examples. I’ll try getting to your juvenile level of understanding. “All swans are black because one exists in a flock of white swans.” Now that doesn’t make much sense does it?
Look at that straw man. I would say swans can be both black and white and that the algorithm to determine whether or not something is a swan must include both colors or be independent of color entirely.

Reasons I am not vegan:

1) I'm an alpha male, so I don't feel bad for the animals that are killed for my food. I buy direct from farmers at a local farmers market. The meat is fresher and has no preservatives, it is tastier, more tender and lasts longer in terms of shelf life. Taking the initiative to be responsible for the support of ethical meat farming through morally sound animal husbandry is the true way to stop the horrendous acts of "big meat".

2) I am a normal, mentally sound human male. This means I not only enjoy meat but require it as a part of a balanced omnivorous diet, as nature intended.

3) I am not some retarded, weak minded kid who needs to stop eating meat to get women to play with mine.

4) I am not some dim witted kid who's only downfall was having parents from the biggest piece of shit generational cross over imaginable: late boomers and early X - who give more of a shit about themselves and money than their fellow man. They are the same shit for brains who are now trying to convince the planet vegan is good.

In truth it is only good for them. Their meat farms don't grow produce as quickly as their soy ones and their feed processing plants can easily be retrofitted to produce vegan food. So they would much rather meat become a speciality product for the rich (as it was pretty much was exclusively before 1960) and make more money selling us the stuff they used to feed the cows, but at the price they used to charge for meat.

Meanwhile these same rich owners continue to import and demand items such as lamb, veal, kobe beef and foie gras. Why would you be so retarded that you let rich pollution of the public sphere cloud your judgement and influence your diet? Must have been born in 1995 or later.
Poor earth. You used to be a great place to live.

Is this how it happened in bizarro world? Back to the planet we're living on, I provided counterexamples to specific traits originally presented as determinants of herbivory/omnivory/carnivory. Your 'argument' (i.e. fallacy) was that there exists a threshold of traits ("one trait versus about a few dozen others") and now after showing you how this generates a contradiction in the case of pandas you baselessly accuse me of being butthurt?

>Biologically speaking, humans should not eat meat.
Historically speaking, eating meat is the entire reason why human civilization exists at all. Tool use evolved out of the need to hunt. Our larger brains can also be attributed to the higher amount of protein we were getting from eating bone marrow, combined with a genetic defect making us have a weaker jaw (which allowed for a larger skull cavity). That weaker jaw, by the way, made nut-based diets less desirable.

We're omnivores. We evolved as omnivores, and had we not been omnivores, we would still be as dumb as apes.

Moral arguments make a little more sense, or at least for reduction since a lot of people mindlessly consume meat without thinking about where it cames from or giving any respect to it at all. But once they start trying to say it's healthier, the arguments start falling apart. Plant foods have benefits, but so do animal foods. Which is why lab-grown meat seems more promising if the goal is to stop animal slaughter.

That's not how it works. It means that biologically you'll age slower, meaning that your best years are even longer. People start dying at around 70-80 because their bodies just begin to break down and cease to be functional, but if you're a healthy person then you can postpone that further, and even be relatively active in your final years instead of spending the last five with dementia or in a wheelchair.

Deformities on the bones suggested that the child had died from porotic hyperostosis, a condition thought to result from a deficiency in vitamin B12 — found exclusively in animal-derived foods. Humans started eating dairy products only in the past 5,000 years, meaning that the child had almost certainly died from a lack of meat7.

Whatever segment you’re referring to of that post, you’d be wrong either way. Cooking foods in general considering it allowed us to actually be able to digest foods like meat and glucose rich starches (glucose which our brain runs on) and foods in general can not only increase the bioavailability of nutrients of some of these foods but break them down easier so that they digest easier in our stomach, think a pound of raw broccoli versus a pound of cooked broccoli, completely different digestive mechanisms

Mozafar in 1994 showed that soil consumption and or consumption of unwashed crops grown in soil can actively raise B12 levels.

Coprophagia which simians engage in eating their own shit to continue to reintroduce nutrients into the body even after digested has also been theorized to have been practiced by our ancestors. There’s been a couple studies of people being able to consume B12 supplemented water from their own shit from the small intestine which holds loads of B12 which we don’t naturally synthesize in our own bodies was also shown to raise B12 levels

Poo water, the study is mentioned in the review itself on the first page, Sheila Callender

By biological basis I mean having the biology to “naturally” be vegan, no supplements, fortifications, etc.

The consumption of cooked meat is what allowed the human brain to grow to it's current size. I do not care about veganism, but please do not lie. thank you.

Yes. But that is because cooked meat was a source of nutrients and calories, there was nothing exclusive or magical about meat that changed our brains and there is literally zero evidence to show otherwise, purely conjecture

they used isotope dilution analysis with IF, so it can't differentiate pseudocobalamins that bind to IF or identify the concentration of pseudocobalamins that don't. they also only looked at plant tissue, which makes this even more important i would think, as plants express a variety of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes that can potentially modify b12 to an inactive form in addiction to the microorganisms in the soil. this paper for example looks at some in spinach that work on some insecticides

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf8020909

even then, assuming 100% bioavailability and that there's only active b12 (which in addition to the above seems highly unlikely as plants don't have selective transporters for b12 so it's all passive bulk uptake by the transpiration stream), you'd have to consume ~3.37kg of wet weight spinach or ~1.86kg dried soybeans to hit the b12 rda for men if going the 'natural' biofortification route with cow dung.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1365-2141.1962.tb06516.x

which doesn't really support their claims. some synthetic b12 was administered and fecal samples were recovered to assess bioavailability. but i don't see where they gave anyone feces to ingest, correct me if i'm wrong

you are legitimately retarded right? a machine that was designed is not the same as a human being. can you use a flathead screwdriver as a shank? yes, was it designed to be so? no. your generalizations are fucking embarrassing.

the idea that humans were 'designed' to function in anyway, and not a evolutionary adaption of environmental changes, is hilarious.

and just to clarify, i meant that wrt the bioavailability of b12 in foods used to calculate the rda

We also should eat everythiing raw and not live in houses, because our biology is designed that way. Also live no more than 35, again because our biology. So if you are older than 35 kill self.

Why did humans evolve an upright gait, long, powerful legs, shoulders with a bigger range of motion than other primates that makes them perfect for throwing, sweat glands with a capacity for thermoregulation only rivaled by horses, hairless bodies, small teeth, small jaw muscles, and a digestive tract that is shorter than any other primate compared to our body size?

Because we evolved into persistence hunters. Our ancestors chased after prey animals, who would run away until they had to rest. Then our ancestors would follow the tracks and show up before the animal could fully recover and it would run off again. This pattern would repeat itself until the animal collapsed from heat and exhaustion and our ancestors could chuck sharp sticks at it until it died. Homo sapiens evolved to be nature's Terminator.

A mostly plant-based diet was also impossible outside of the tropics, like in Europe, where fruit and nuts are seasonal. Our ancestors would have needed to hunt and trap to even have a chance at surviving. A single deer could feed 4 people for 5 days. In the time between hunts the tribe could set traps, forage seasonal plants, and make clothes and tools. Where would they have found the time for any of this while living mostly off plants?

Are you seriously equating a few centuries to the entire two million or so years of human evolution? I mean, I know herbivores are the lowest of humans (everyone does, duh), but damn.

Note to the uninformed: the small intestine is where nutrients from meat are absorbed after being broken down by pepsin and other proteases. The colon is where bacteria ferment plant matter the body can't digest by itself. What kind of diet would result in the evolution of a long small intestine and a short colon?

Also, the most herbivorous of all great apes, the Gorilla, needs to eat its own shit to fully digest plants. Do with this information what you will, vegans.
