    That humans weren't designed to eat meat and when you eat meat it doesn't digest it rots in your stomach. Give me a break. Go look in a mirror at those incisors and tell me what they're there for, it's certainly not to shred lettuce.

    (This coming from someone who doesn't eat meat most of the time for ethical reasons haha but I still think meat is the best source of protein!)

    You wouldn't believe some of the *kitten* these raw vegans believe...
    This one raw vegan ("Dan-the-man"/liferegenerator on Youtube) seriously believes that lions prefer to first go for a zebra's organs (stomach) to get at the plants in the zebra's stomach. Thinking that lions instinctively would prefer to eat plants over flesh...WTF is this guy on?

    Totally agree that the rot in your stomach thing is BS - but have you seen the size of gorilla's incisors? They are basically vegetarians.

    Hah ... rather than going for the organs because they're the most concentrated sources of nutrients? lolol.
    If lions instinctively preferred to eat plants, there are plenty all around them. :P

    "Soda and coffee count towards your daily water" Unfortunately, there are a lot of people on MFP that still believe this too! :noway:

    Actually. all pop is is carbonated water with flavoured glucose syrup. It's not like the water all of a sudden doesn't absorb into your body because it has syrup in it. Same with coffee. It's WATER run through ground up beans.

    The water doesn't just "not count" or dissapear.

    lol right, then go ahead and bathe in it if its good enough to bathe your insides with.

    lol if the "inside of your body" needed to be bathed the same way skin and hair do your comment might have some merit.

    18%? Hahaha.

    Somewhere between 85 and 90% (usually 87-88) of milk is water. I hate to break it to you, but even if EVERYTHING ELSE were somatic cells (which it's not) you still wouldn't hit 18%.

    Try getting sources from somewhere other than PETA.

    diet sodas are equivalent to water since it has zero calories

    When I was doing Weight Watchers eons ago, the leader told us that caffeine free diet soda could count towards your 8 cups of water per day. Seems kinda silly!

    A friend of mine thought that all the white stuff on a newborn baby was LARD! Apparently if you eat a high fat diet when you're pregnant, your baby is born covered in lard!!
    :huh:

    If only that were true - my daughter would have been MUCH easier to get out !!! lol
