I apologize in advance for all the crappy jokes I make.

Don't worry honey, as long as you don't do drugs we still love you.

Yes, we can poop indoors, because as you said, we are versatile. But we do that because it's beneficial to us.


In some ways. But there are trade offs.

You can still squat over the toilet bowl if you really want to do that.


True. But most toilets (here in America) are sitting height. I would have to stand on the bowl to squat. And I would rather face some intestinal blockage than have to explain to the ER doctor why my arm is broken after I fall off the toilet bowl.
hilariously that is exactly how my roommate does it.

Your roommate squats over the toilet bowl? God, what if it lands on the seat?!

Efficient means efficient. Don't be a smartass (or a dumbass).


Uhh... yeah, I know what the word means. But what about the context? Efficient how? As in, cost efficient? Spatially efficient? Energy efficient? You can't just say that something is "more efficient" and expect someone else to know what that means.

And since the word of Google is all you are able to hear; here you go: Example 1,Example 2 and Example 3. All perfectly good reasons why not being a vegan is more "efficient" in day to day life and why it is less healthy.

Unverified and certainly not peer reviewed posts? Really? I don't even see any citations. Where is this information coming from? Those aren't perfectly good reasons, those are unsupported opinions.

Took me about 2 minutes to find those

Yeah, I can tell.

but as you said yourself we may be versatile but we are still "omnivores".

Also I'll have to ask whatever you post in return isn't Bull-blam!- either :)


I didn't see any evidence that health problems are any worse for vegans or vegetarians in the (scientific) articles that I read. Any diet has risks. What makes a vegan diet more risky than any other one?

I'm not a vegan. I don't want to be a vegan. But I do wish people would actually support what they say with facts, instead of just saying whatever sounds like it makes sense.

Everyone cares about opinions, that's why we socialize on a forum with strangers.

Stop arguing over imaginary -blam!-. May as well argue over Santa Claus. There will never be proof that there is/was a god - and before people start saying "HERP DERP PROVE THERE WASN'T ONE ROFLOLOL" well, you are the people who made it up in the first place so we know there isn't one
What created the big bang then? A coalition of genetically modified TR-909s with extra distortion?

Vegans are glorified vegetarians.

Signatures are for little kids.

I don't understand how vegans think it's better to eat only small animals.

You kill a small animal, only one person can eat. If you kill a big animal, you can feed a whole family for a long time.

Would you rather kill 20 animals for 20 meals, or 1 animal for 50 meals?

wait... if vegans are vegans because they don't want to hurt animals... then why do they eat all their food?
Right?! They're eating my food's food!
Let's eat the vegans.

So I need to baby you in what I meant by efficient? How about efficient in general? Eating normally > Supplements. Also a failed link to TalkTalk and a study on the bone density of Vegan Buddhist nuns is meant to shoot down the fact that being a Vegan is inherently less suited for the human body then a normal omnivorousness diet? Or do you want a Scientific peer reviewed study to prove what the K9's in your mouth are used for?

The fact that Vegans may need to take supplements to stay healthy should speak for itself when it comes to it having a higher risk then other diets.

I'll refrain from posting more links since any I find will won't be peer reviewed and approved of by the University of blah.

It's not "babying", it's clarifying. You still haven't said how eating meat is more "efficient". Again, what kind of efficiency are you talking about?

A jar of protein powder lasts longer than meat does. It also doesn't need to be refrigerated for frozen. Don't get me started on the land and resources needed to raise animals to eat. It is more energy efficient. So... let's see something to show me that meat is "efficient".

Also a failed link to TalkTalk and a study on the bone density of Vegan Buddhist nuns is meant to shoot down the fact that being a Vegan is inherently less suited for the human body then a normal omnivorousness diet?

A group of people who are traditionally vegans is no less healthy than a group of people who are not. You're having some trouble with the definition of "fact", namely that facts can be proven and real ones aren't just made up on the spot.

Or do you want a Scientific peer reviewed study to prove what the K9's in your mouth are used for?

They're used for whatever someone wants to use them for. We're talking about eating today. Even if the canine teeth did evolve to help us eat meat specifically (as opposed to anything with a certain texture), it doesn't matter. I'm not concerned about the past right now.

The fact that Vegans may need to take supplements to stay healthy should speak for itself when it comes to it having a higher risk then other diets.

How does it speak to the risks of that diet? People who eat lots of meat might need to take medicine that lowers their cholesterol.

I'll refrain from posting more links since any I find will won't be peer reviewed and approved of by the University of blah.

Or is it because you know you don't know what you're talking about and you actual studies would go over your head? Try Google Scholar (if you can handle it).
