I think it more likely to be that pigs and humans have a fair
number of parasites in common and when you live in a hot country with no
form of refrigeration eating pig meat is a good way to get ill. Practical
advice for desert nomads.

Similarly circumcision is pure practicality for desert nomads,
there are places you *really* don't want to get sand sores.

The author is female. And completely unqualified.

"It's next to impossible to review this book; it is so packed
with misinformation and confusion that refuting the claims
could be another book itself. This is a long post, and it
doesn't begin to address all of the problems in The Vegetarian Myth."

....
"For example, when she writes about evolution as it affects
dietary needs, and suggests that "the archeological evidence is incontrovertible,"
she is actually referencing the book Protein Power, written by two physicians who
have no expertise in evolution or anthropology. It's a neat trick, of course,
because we have no idea where the Protein Power authors got their information.
By burying all of the actual studies this way, she makes it laborious for readers
to check her facts."

....
"On page 227, she notes that "Mark Messina, a champion of soy, thinks
the Japanese eat 8.6 [grams of soyfoods] per day," or less than a tablespoon.
Really? Well, I happen to be married to Mark Messina, so I have a fairly good
idea of what he "thinks" about soy intake. But even if I didn't know him,
I could read his 2006 analysis of soy intake data that was published in
the peer-reviewed medical journal Nutrition and Cancer."

There is no debate really when one takes a look into the nutritional
aspect and animal wellbeing. None of those are spieciese approppriate food
for the animals you listed. Bovines are grazing animals and should be out
on the pastures feeding grass and whatnot under the sunlight. Pigs and
chickens are both happiest and healthiest when they are also roaming
around the yeard and digging and eating what comes up. Also the fact that
soy contains very high amounts of estrogen that is trasferred along the
food chain all the way up everyones table.

This and the unnatural conditions animals are farmed nowadays makes these
animals sick and sick won't produce quality food.

> (Although I happen to agree that meat production uses way, way too many
> of them.)

Those are not suitable for human consumption either, so there is really no
need to grow such crops. Sure there is some land regenerating uses of soy,
but it shouln't be used feeding humans or animals that are for human
consumpion.

Meat production is not the problem, way meat is produced is the problem.
You should check the work of Allan Savory ... regenerating deserted lands
with grazing animals. Surprisingly just the opposite that we are told. But
there is this vegetarian/vegan agenda those in power are pushing, so of
course their narrative is such.

This is false narrative we all have been told in programmping facilities
called "schools". In fact raw meat is much more nutrition rich and
proteins and amino acids are kind of form human body can deal with the
possible toxins in them. Cooking, every kind of, will reduce the
nutritional value of the meat, or any other animals part, and render amino
acids and proteins into such form they kind of "encapsulates" toxins in
them and our bodies cannot deal with them in the natural way and those
toxins are absorbet much more into our bodies.

Back then, the 60's, one of the books you were supposed to read was "The
Raw and the Cooked" Claude Levi-strauss, I misremember. It made a lot
of very good points, about how cooking food is a step up in the
developement of mankind. Just hop over to amazon to see if it is still
on sale?,,Naw.. One of the best books I ever read, even with large
problems.

Amazon have a lot of books at the moment with problems, such as the one
about gallopili with flying fortresses on the cover.

WTF? The Chinese have refrigeration.

And those parasites are terminated with extreme prejudice by heat,
and the Chinese don't generally eat pork raw.

And they just cannot be wrong ... there is absolutely no change that can

They have fancy »Fully programmed bot« diploma on their wall and what

No need to waste ones time for this vegetarians nonsense ... His "works"
never had any substance, just ramblings of a man with agenda ... maybe
learned from his rabbit grandpa.

Also that book has nothing to do with nutrition.

It's just as imaginary as Paul and Anne Echrlich's The Population
Bomb.

Why yes, you are a troll and a buffoon.

Paleontologists, along with archaeologists, have to do field work in

The Chinese, as someone should mention to some countries, have been
there a Looooong time, well before refrigeration. I was discussing why
pig meat is banned in Judaism and Islam. Was pork banned in Ugarit?

There are a lot of theories, none really satisfactory

I believe that story that Chinese people will eat anything that can't
get away fast enough. Probably why most diseases start there, even
before expatriot test labs.

There are stories that Maya indians have ways of cooking maize that
stops a lot of sicknesses caused by eating mostly maize (beri-beri)

They're still doing it, along with many admixed Europeans. The process
is just treatment with alkali, most traditionally wood ashes but
typically lime these days. The process is called "nixtamalization", and
is mandatory for corn tortillas, tamales, gorditas, posole (hominy) &c.
It does in fact greatly improve the availability of B vitamins from
maize.

I haven't seen much evidence of that, although it does seem possible.
Medical ethics requires, or at least required, that treatment benefit
the *patient*, not some other group of people, and that it be
administered only with informed consent. If you tell me that you're
willing to be injected with a novel treatment in order to, possibly,
benefit others then I'll admire your generosity. If you tell me that
you're having your minor child injected for the same reason, I'll wonder
about your fitness for parenthood. If you tell me that you want to
force an entire generation of children to be injected then that is just
completely beyond the pale. But here we are.

Unfortunately that's not how it works. Viruses don't stand still, they
evolve. Rapidly. A leaky vaccine results in viruses that are adapted
to it, such as we have now in the Omicron variant and its descendants.
Fortunately these strains are less virulent than the original, but it's
unwise to take that for granted.

Highly vaccinated countries, like Japan, or Israel, where four shots are
required, have not seen covid disappear. In fact, they still seem to
have quite a lot of it.

Israel could be a test case. Are palestinians getting vaccinated as
often as Israelis?.. Do they get sick as often?, Was it there that joe
biden aquired what is currently affecting him?. My sister-in-law
recently got very sick with chest problems, coincidently after getting
her booster shot :). (She is recovering slowly). I would be angry if she
died, because I would be one of the ones that would have to clean up the
legal mess).

More to the point, China is a wet country, not a desert country, although it
does have the Gobi desert in the north. Where it grows food, though, it's
wet enough for rice paddies.

This is good for raising hogs. Pigs compete with humans for food and
water in dry areas, and that's the reason given in "Cows, Pigs, Wars
and Witches" for the pig prohibition in several world religions.

Just as in English, "egg" means chicken egg unless specified otherwise,
in Chinese, "meat" means pork unless specified otherwise. This was
long before Freon was discovered. (Actually, though, we had refrigerators
before Freon... but not at the dawn of Chinese civilization.)

And the causitive mechanism of this long-term effect is not
understood. Micro-thrombi in brain and other organs have been suggested
but, AFAIK, not confirmed. Not death, just the rest of your life

Vaccines are not one of them. There are certain things you cannot
short-circuit, and with a vaccine trial, it's time.

You're half right. We haven't discovered some miracle way to make vaccine
trials go faster with modern technology.

However, my response is simple: what part of "emergency use authorization"
don't you understand? If you don't *have* the time, because there aren't
enough ventilators to go around to keep the population from dying like flies,
then not conducting vaccine trials to the same high standards as would be
the case for a less serious disease that is less widespread... is a rational
course of action.

One weighs costs against benefits in making decisions.

Necessity is the excuse of tyrants and the creed of slaves.

"[...] enough ventilators to go around to keep the population from dying
like flies [...]"

Strawman appeal to imaginary events that aren't happening. Reducing men
and women with innate rights to "population" object to justify nonsense.

"One weighs costs against benefits in making decisions."

Right. The traitors and money-grubbers making decisions to deprive men
of their liberty and life need a pretext, a budget, and a smokescreen to
cover it all up.

Millions of people outside the panopticon echo chamber see through this
nonsense. Wise up.

When yu realise that "vaccine" ain't for covid, but covid is for "vaccine"
... you get the right perspective.

Also the fact that, for example, modeRNA, "vaccine" was "designed" on the
computer in just 2 days ... TWO days?!?

https://odysee.com/@SaviorSelf:c/Vaccinein2days:e

Well that's understandable if you realis modeRNA is software platform
company ...

https://odysee.com/@EvidenceNotFear:a/moderna-ceo-platform-c onspiracyguy78-status-1383678276959309829-cover:3?r=E3zkYiji pTsjuRww5dcc3HC8HLS16ZKM&sunset=lbrytv

So this discussion is very relevant in a.f.c :D

Why not? They've already been reduced to "consumers".

History has told us time and again that once you've de-humanized

After all, it must be very hard to justify decisions who most ardent

Not very serious ones it seems, the second booster option is being
extended downwards in age.

The way I see it is the hospitals were on the verge of meltdown, we
went into a series of lockdowns and got most of us vaccinated, we released
the lockdowns and the hospitals didn't melt down.

the main trouble at the moment is that so many have been fooled into
getting the vaccine that they have the feeling that they will look
stupid when it turns out it was all a con.

According to those who must be obeyed, over 90% of people in Ireland
have been vaccinated, highest in the world, yet infections continue to
happen. As I wrote before, if I had animals and had bought vaccine for
some disease, and had it injected, and the animals continued to have
that disease, I would like to get my money back.

About overfilling hospitals, there are several old hospitals in Dublin
that remained empty until the equally spurious Ukranian refugees
arrived, then they old hospitals were hurriedly reopened. Sir Patrick
Dunns, Richmond, Adelaide, one along Dawson street that I was sent to
overnight once and several others. Ennis Hospital, Co. Clare, of
dubious fame, was never full. Several retirement homes were cleared of
patients, and never refilled.

I think the Chinese government recently have proved that lockdowns do
not stop the spread of disease.

Rant, Rant, rant, fading into the distance.

That’s a fairly stupid statement, since something like 70% of the
population has been vaccinated, and I doubt if many of us regret our
decision.

That just means that the vaccines aren't perfect. In the world that
I live in, nothing is perfect. The vaccines do help tip the odds in
your favour, though.

Life is a gamble. Deal with it.
