Meat Stinks

Physiologically, people are more akin to plant-eaters, foragers and grazers, such as monkeys, elephants and cows, than to carnivora such as dogs, tigers and leopards."

"For example, carnivora do not sweat through their skin; body heat is controlled by rapid breathing and extrusion of the tongue. Vegetarian animals, on the other hand, have sweat pores for heat control and the elimination of impurities."

"Carnivora have long teeth and claws for holding and killing prey; vegetarian animals have short teeth and no claws."

"The saliva of carnivora contains no ptyalin and cannot predigest starches; that of vegetarian animals contains ptyalin for the predigestion of starches."

"Flesh-eating animals secrete large quantities of hydrochloric acid to help dissolve bones; vegetarian animals secrete little hydrochloric acid."

"The jaws of carnivora only open in an up and down motion; those of vegetarian animals also move sideways for additional kinds of chewing."

"Carnivora must lap liquids (like a cat); vegetarian animals take liquids in by suction through the teeth."

"There are many such comparisons, and in each case humans fit the vegetarian physiognomy. From a strictly physiological perspective, then, there are strong arguments that humans are not suited to a fleshy diet."

Human beings are omnivorous. That's why they have canine teeth as well as incisors and molars. And secrete hydrochloric acid. Human salive contains ptyalin because we eat vegetable matter as well.

Hands off me bacon sarnie!

My father was stationed in Japan as part of the occupations forces after the war. One of the things he told me about his time there which has lurked in the back of my mind is that to the Japanese, Westerners have an offensive body odour. This is mainly due to the fact that our diet is rich in red meat and dairy produce.

i 'm with the majority ,,,give me a lovely crispy leany bacon butty

Re: Meat Stinks
 

A nice piece of rump steak blue with all the trimmings yum yum.

Re: Meat Stinks
 

I for one would be quite prepared to eat a lovely crispy vegetarian! Because the only way they seem to be able to get rid of the wind their diet creates is to spread their cr*p around for the rest of us to endure!

If you don't want to eat animals I say good for you,

Re: Meat Stinks
 

I've often thought of trying vegetarianism but unfortunately I like my steaks too much. If we weren't supposed to eat animals then they wouldn't taste so good would they...;)

Re: Meat Stinks
 

David had a Malaysian girlfriend years ago, and she said that Westerners smell different because we eat lamb. I must admit I'm not wild about lamb, and I loathe cold lamb, but I do like mutton.

Just don't ask me about the pig's head .....

Re: Meat Stinks
 

Mine doesn't, it smells like pot pouirri.:)
