Any vegans/vegetarians here besides me?

Quick question for all you guys who know health...Why is Americans today focusing on food high protein, low carbs when the food guide pyramid clearly shows that carbs should be the greatest amount consume?

I would guess because a lot of people aren't aware of good and bad carbs. I don't think a focus on foods in high protein is that bad really, though too much red meat is bad, but yeah protein shouldn't substitute other nutrients for the body.

What is good carbs and bad ones? I really don't know... -.-

 

[XeonZ]

Good carbs come from foods that haven't been altered by people are still in their natural states, like fruits, whole grain breads, and vegetables. You can guess that bad carbs are from foods and drinks that have been altered such as junk food and soda which has had most of it's nutrition value removed and too much of these carbs will make you gain weight.

Basic outlook of it.

Plants are also alive.. vegetarians are cowards! If you want to eat a rabbit, you have to run after it! Now, if you want to eat a carrot, the poor carrot can't do nothing, it just stays there desperate waiting for it's death!

it's good that you are a sensible Vegetarian that respects others as well.

what i hate is the retarded ones that try to modify scientific fact to support their personal view in a biased way.

"Retarded" is a bit harsh, man. Give us an example of what you mean.

Here's an example.

Well let's see....

Claiming that Humans are evolutionary unsuited to eating meat and that it is entirely unhealthy for us, and that only human culture has evolved to eat meat

and omit and don't address why monkeys and apes our closest evolutionary relatives eat meat in the wild and have the speed skill and reflex to do it.

theres a gay assed video on Youtube thats flash based and full of fecal matter.

Btw how can milk suck? i drink loads of milk and i am extremely healthy, it's given me strong dense bone which is half the reason i weigh around 242 pounds 110kgs

i've never had broken bones before and i doubt i ever will, their strong and solid.

Well, I'm personally not a vegetarian or vegan, but I do respect other peoples decisions based on what they wanna eat and stuff. Nice to see that you respect what others choices are :3 One of my friends gets really p***ed off if anyone eats meat around her. x_x But the way I see it, just let people do what they wanna do, period.

Hi again,
Don't want to sound arguementative, but here is one interesting, non-related fact: While some chimps (not monkeys) do eat meat, it's only those put under environental pressure by mankind (hunting, logging, e.t.c.). Those that live in the deeper jungles just chill out all day. Weird, huh?

my afro friend dante is a vegetarian. His lunch is only these cheese meal stuff.

 

[Topfragger]

eating cheese makes you halfway vegetarian, being a proper vegetarian means only eating matter that comes from plants.

cheese is made from milk and is cultivated with bacteria.

No, that's vegan. Vegetarians can eat dairy and eggs.
