    Maybe it's just because I have a scientific background, but I don't understand why the 'diet of the future' would be inappropriate for an omnivore, which is what humans are. I guess being a Nobel prize winner doesn't include critical thinking skills. :noway:

    He is saying that meat won't be available or considered a good food in the future. He didn't say plants were not appropriate for omnivores. And by the way, humans are herbivores:

    You've just lost all credibility. Educate yourself. And by that , I mean look for sources other than Youtube.
    You simply haven't had enough time to watch the half hour presentation by Dr Roberts, perhaps the top cardiologist in the USA. But of course, why should you. There is no requirement to actually know or understand a subject before sounding off on it.

    I tried fixing your quotes.

    Go take a look at your teeth in the mirror. Look at your canines. Compare them to the teeth of horses or cows. Read about the differences in the digestive system between us and herbivores.

    I almost feel like i am trying to convince a conspiracy theorist that their arguments are flawed. I completely understand and respect being vegan for ethical reasons. Claiming that humanity was meant to be vegan is a slap in evolution's face.

    In case you have never had a biology course, here is what the teeth of a meat eater look like:

    This is good. Keep it very simple for the OP.

    Looks like now you're confusing omnivores and carnivores...
    You still haven't addressed the digestive system problem with your claim.

    :laugh: Now this is getting funny. I'm in for the discussion of being schooled in biology. I mean, science has said we are omnivores but now it's wrong? Please...do go on....

    Science as defined by whom? How about the leading cardiologist in the United States? I posted his half hour explanation of the reasons we are herbivores, but none of you geniuses have bother to look at it. Of course you know better because that is what the teacher said in High school biology.

    The fact is we've been eating meat for more than 2 million years. If it was bad for us, or if we weren't "supposed to" eat meat, we would have gone extinct a long time ago.

    Whatever we may or may not have started out as, we're clearly omnivores now.

    So cardiologists are automatically experts in human biology, genetics and evolution? And elementary, middle school and high school teachers who base their teachings off of facts gathered by those who specialize in research in these topics have been doing it wrong?

    Can you even define the difference between a carnivore and an omnivore. No going to Google. Post immediately.

    In simplistic terms as it is taught to children:

    Carnivores - meat eaters (ONLY eats meat).

    Omnivores - consumes both vegetation AND meat.

    So you are saying that members of the class CARNIVORA consume only meat right?

    How much money would you like to put up on that?

    In case you don't know, you haven't a clue. If you want to get a clue, watch the video I posted, or, preferably bet me $1,000 that you are right.

    What does the fact that many carnivores devour the stomachs, and the contents thereof, of their prey have to do with humans being omnivores?


  • In case you have never had a biology course, here is what the teeth of a meat eater look like:

    Looks like now you're confusing omnivores and carnivores...
    You still haven't addressed the digestive system problem with your claim.

    :laugh: Now this is getting funny. I'm in for the discussion of being schooled in biology. I mean, science has said we are omnivores but now it's wrong? Please...do go on....

    Science as defined by whom? How about the leading cardiologist in the United States? I posted his half hour explanation of the reasons we are herbivores, but none of you geniuses have bother to look at it. Of course you know better because that is what the teacher said in High school biology.

    So cardiologists are automatically experts in human biology, genetics and evolution? And elementary, middle school and high school teachers who base their teachings off of facts gathered by those who specialize in research in these topics have been doing it wrong?

    Yes to both questons.

    i think it's sad how much judgement and vitriol are in this thread.

    what's wrong with someone being excited about their chosen diet?

    i'm glad vegans will have more protein options available.

    Maybe it's just because I have a scientific background, but I don't understand why the 'diet of the future' would be inappropriate for an omnivore, which is what humans are. I guess being a Nobel prize winner doesn't include critical thinking skills. :noway:

    He is saying that meat won't be available or considered a good food in the future. He didn't say plants were not appropriate for omnivores. And by the way, humans are herbivores:

    You've just lost all credibility. Educate yourself. And by that , I mean look for sources other than Youtube.
    You simply haven't had enough time to watch the half hour presentation by Dr Roberts, perhaps the top cardiologist in the USA. But of course, why should you. There is no requirement to actually know or understand a subject before sounding off on it.

    I tried fixing your quotes.

    Go take a look at your teeth in the mirror. Look at your canines. Compare them to the teeth of horses or cows. Read about the differences in the digestive system between us and herbivores.

    I almost feel like i am trying to convince a conspiracy theorist that their arguments are flawed. I completely understand and respect being vegan for ethical reasons. Claiming that humanity was meant to be vegan is a slap in evolution's face.

    Those are carnivores. We are omnivores.
    In case YOU have never had a biology class before, here's what the teeth of herbivores look like:

    stock-photo-close-up-of-horse-teeth-84867928.jpg

    Notice the bluntness, relatively large contact surface made for grinding plants. Looks way different than human teeth to me.

    Watch the freaken video I posted and then I think you will feel more like the other end of the horse.

    I don't need a lesson on this particular issue from a cardiologist.
    I also don't take advice on birth control from my mechanic.

    Oh....this looks fun...can I join. I have a good one for Vegesaurus...and it doesn't have to do with teeth or digestive systems. How about archeology and what people ate pre 17,000 BC?

    Even provides a bibliography to follow for reference checks.

    That was a couple of pages back. This one is a true believer and she won't listen to reason or evidence. It's like trying to talk good sense into a cult member.

    First line from your link:
    The grizzly bear, like its cousin the black bear, is omnivorous, meaning it will eat plants, as well as insects and other animals.


    Did you even read it?

    Maybe it's just because I have a scientific background, but I don't understand why the 'diet of the future' would be inappropriate for an omnivore, which is what humans are. I guess being a Nobel prize winner doesn't include critical thinking skills. :noway:

    Well, if everyone on Earth ate the amount of meat we do in the industrialized West, there wouldn't be enough resources to support that level of meat production. It takes FAR more resources to produce animals than it does plants. So, if meat consumption continues to grow as the developing world industrializes, sure, we could face a future in which the planet couldn't sustain 7, 8, or 9 billion people eating a serving of meat 3 times a day.

    I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, but I think reducing meat consumption is a good goal for sustainability/environmental reasons. Nothing to do with health.
  • Who better to predict future dietary habits than a Nobel Prize winning... economist...

    Yes, I cannot believe the general level of intelligence on this board. Who better to say that meat will become too expensive than an economist.

    Jeesh.

    YOU ARE RIGHT. Thank you. You, me and the United Nations agree on then need to reduce meat consumption.

    I wish people who make these claims would start with history of this type of thinking. Start with "An Essay on the Principle of Population" by Thomas Malthus. It's a great example of the problem with linear thinking.
