Depends on what you mean by "natural causes." Diseased meat is still diseased meat any way you slice it (hur hur).

Otherwise, see Wigmund's post.

I have personally killed a pig and helped to roast it so I don't know.

This is what I thought this thread would be about.

This is what this thread should be about.

I've got to say that none of this makes any practical sense, and instead of wide eyed idealism with questionable at best foundations, I'd advocate a more honest scientific assessment of a proper human diet, as opposed to the shameful marketing ploy that is the government sponsored food pyramid.

I also wish they'd stop putting so much fucking sugar and salt into everything. After I lived in Japan for 3 years, I can totally see why we're all a bunch of fat fucks sucking corn syrup out of cardboard tubs.

Everybody knows the Food Pyramid is actually The Grain Sentry anyway.

For the sake of discussion, can this be substantiated beyond the obvious pooh-pooh? It's a fair consideration, I guess, except I've never seen a government food pyramid that actually supports vegetarianism or veganism? Or pescatarian really, though I suppose that'd be possible according to Canada's.

Pyros eats anything and everything and if he was hungry and there was nothing to eat he'd run out into the woods and kill a deer in the woods with his bare hands and feast on it' succulent juices and meatstuffs.

I can't really live on a diet of any sort, owing to my short attention span and memory, but I don't really need to, as my shrew-like metabolism means I can keep my weight low as long as I do the bare minimum of physical exercise, and of course I'll only eat when I'm hungry and never because nobody loves me.

As for pescatarianism (because Fish are just floating meaty plants) and vegetarianism, my view of them is that it may be somewhat of a social elitism thing, as you can only be a vegetarian if you live in technically upper class that can allow for your new eating habits. Even if vegetarian food can be cheap, the availability and ease of obtaining it varies depending on how developed your surroundings are. Now granted, in the scale I'm using, much of proper America and Europe have what is needed to allow for vegetarian eating, but we still have places on this earth, situations where the idea of not eating meat is laughable because the effort just to get a meal of anything is the hard enough.

I eat people, But you allready know this.

I guess if you're looking down on people who have no practical way (or substantially less practical ways than you have) to survive at a decent or possibly subdecent standard of living without eating meat, then yeah, that's probably elitist. I don't see how it is elitist just to give up meat because you can, though. Elitism is attitude.

Easy vegetarianism might be a luxury, though. I'll give you that. Ease of any given choice, moral or otherwise, probably will not be evenly distributed.

I don't get it... I'm elitist b/c I'm trying not to eat fast food and goddammit I should because it's there and I should appreciate it since there are starving children in Japan?
