Saved by the yardbird. I should have said what I thought the point was before I went and tried to get to it: I thought the point was, as implied by Tahruh's evidence about jawbones and digestion vs. Olimario's arguments about malnutrition, that by nature, Humans are predisposed to be best served by one particular diet or another. Meat being a part of that diet is under debate. So I'm just trying to strip back the argument to that, what works best based on our natural biological condition sans our ability to manipulation it with science. I see what you're saying. For me, it comes down to what our earliest ancestors may or may not have done. I expect there was a time before we knew how to hunt or trap with any efficiency, during which foraging was all we could manage, and we survived enough generations to develop the skills necessary to incorporate meat regularly into our diets. Someone with an anthropology degree could probably contribute a lot more to that facet of the conversation. As far as a natural predisposition toward wanting meat, someone once told me that meat is an acquired taste. Sounds like a pretty pseudoscientific blanket statement (all meat? Really?), but I can say that there have been times in my life, and more of those times than others, when I couldn't stand the thought of red meat or chicken or even fish. Pregnancy has brought some serious steak cravings with it, but I've also been craving beer, so what does my body know?  _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

They've broken pregnancy cravings down to being basic needs for nutrients. To the extent of women wanting to eat dirt cause the were having an iron deficiency. Weird right? But what does beer have besides calories, carbonation, fermentation, and the consistency of liquid (warm or cold)? I'm not one to ask, not liking beer at all and all that... Oh, and though I may not seem it, I was 2 latin classes from my oh so undistinguished degrees in Sociology & Anthropology (Combined Major at my time of enrollment, but separate in the past, and separated again my senior year, those pricks), and a 2nd BA in Communications. I finished Comm at another school, as well as a language requirement satisfying 13 hours in Spanish. So yeah, had I transferred said hours into Truman and never attended another university, thus invoking a 28 hour residency requirement to receive my degree... I would be 50% of that Anthro major. Sebas is your guy in my stead. But If I were in a nostalgic mood I'd go dig up all my notes from back in the day and break down how our human ancestors and early primates were omnivores even before they had stone tools, as they at bugs and other easy to obtain critters, and in some cases, other primates. Ape shall kill ape after all. _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB

Brewer's yeast is very high in magnesium, selenium, potassium, phosphorus, biotin, and B vitamins (says Wikipedia). Doctors and midwives often recommend calcium/magnesium supplements to combat muscle cramps, soreness, and swelling during pregnancy. Early in my pregnancy I craved wheat beer. For the last two months I've wanted nothing but porters and stouts, really dark stuff like New Belgium's 1554. Dark beer contains more iron, and I think that's chiefly what I want as far as nutrients are concerned. Like I said, I've been craving steak too. My iron levels dropped during my pregnancy, as they are wont to do, but fortunately not to the point where I became anemic. Once or twice a week, Aaron and I split a bottle of 1554. Don't tell my midwife! _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

I'm actually not that big of a fan of red meat. Sometimes, I like it, like when I eat burgers and I love burgers, but I actually can't stand steak unless it's an amazing steak. I love chicken, turkey, and some fish. I'm trying to get off of red meat completely because it's really not that great for you. I'm actually trying to get vegan/vegetarian habits instilled in me and eat really healthy, even though, I won't be a vegan or vegetarian, not that I'm opposed to eating a majority of what they do. I am, however, really against cow's milk. Call me crazy, but at least half of my friends have been finding out they're lactose intolerant, including myself. You can get more calcium in a half of cup of broccoli than you can in a glass of milk. I've been trying to completely make the switch from cow's milk to almond/rice/coconut milk. I won't do soy milk because, despite what everyone says, it's really not that great for you. I've also been trying to cut out all soft cheeses because they're pasteurized more than hard cheeses. Sorry, way off topic. _________________ cynlovescandy wrote: kulvir wrote: I bet R. Kelly approves of peeing in the shower. The world is R. Kelly's shower. It's a golden world.

Streak makes me feel sick to my stomach but burgers are yummy. Pork always makes me feel sick too. Must be some Jewish thing ha. |

i'm With you guys. My thing is the longer it takes to chew the less i like meat because once the flavor is gone I honestly get nauseated by it. Explains why i like the meat I do in the fashions they are seasoned/ flavored & prepared. Milk, i widdled my self down from 2% to skim, & now everything feels like cream in comparison & feels filmy. The almond, soy, & rice milk i've had seem to be going for the consistency or whole milk which tastes like unsalted butter that's been melted as far as I'm concerned. If you go on about cheese a wine thread will probably follow. _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB

I don't drink milk and haven't for years--I'm probably lactose intolerant by now simply by virtue of abstinence. I certainly don't like the taste, and if there's not enough sweet stuff to balance it out in smoothies and milkshakes I get kind of disgusted. Rice milk is so much tastier. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

@Nora Yes, I can't stand pork, either. It's so gross to me. Unless it's bacon. I can do bacon. @Wil Rice milk is pretty thin, honestly. And it's really tasty. Coconut milk is fairly thin, as well. Almond milk is thicker, but Silk's Dark Chocolate Almond Milk is seriously a thing to be desired, for me. It's wonderful. @Saellys I don't like milk, either. Well, cow's milk. And yeah, I hear ya about the cheese, I just don't have the money to shell out for the pricey, better cheeses. Sad day. _________________ cynlovescandy wrote: kulvir wrote: I bet R.
