I just think that instead of Americans taking in so much food to their country they should leave it to those that DO starve like send it to Africa or something and to the freaking poor. Like seriously think about others not just yourselves ‘cuz a bunch of ppl starve in the planet when they shouldn’t, and as for americans we should just balance the amount of food we take in and stop influencing ppl to eat so much with the mcdonald’s commercials and all those other places ‘cuz it’s better to save ppl than to try to earn money by killing the world with food . If u want to earn money then do it by doing something good, not evil.

I’m hearing more and more how we need to reduce livestock to stave off global warming. In fact there is now talk about placing a carbon tax on each head of livestock, essentially forcing many farmers out of business. Wouldn’t it then be proper to reason the fewer animals on the earth the better? What about all of those smelly herbivores in Africa polluting our planet with CO2 and methane? Why should we give them a pass when our planet is overheating?

Those of you that plan on a vegan diet had best keep the dairy in. Lysine is a limiting (means you cannot produce it inside yourself) amino acid in humans. It is very dificult to get enough when the animal is left out of an omnivore’s diet. Yes, we are omnivores. We ahve neither an enlarged ceacum nor a rumen. We are designed to eat meat as well as vegetables.
