  - Do you even know what an omnivorous diet would mean in the wild?  ContinentalOp   Jun-07-09 02:40 AM   #111 
     - It wouldn't include grains that's for sure.  AllieB   Jun-07-09 08:11 AM   #121 
        - Right that's exactly my point. Bringing our ancestors into this is silly  ContinentalOp   Jun-07-09 04:01 PM   #144

     - Because it's completely impossible to implement, for one thing.  Cessna Invesco Palin   Jun-06-09 08:40 PM   #42 
        - Just let it go at "totally fucking ridiculous". Unserious proposals don't merit serious responses.  BlooInBloo   Jun-06-09 08:42 PM   #45 
           - Well in that case, here's a somewhat ridiculous response:  Cessna Invesco Palin   Jun-06-09 08:49 PM   #49 
           - Now you're getting the hang of this!  BlooInBloo   Jun-06-09 08:52 PM   #50

        - hah thats weird on so many levels lol nt  Mari333   Jun-06-09 10:34 PM   #80 
     - That's because all of the French are Secret Vegans.  Cessna Invesco Palin   Jun-06-09 11:50 PM   #89 
     - The "french paradox" is BS that has pretty much been debunked IMO.  ContinentalOp   Jun-07-09 02:01 AM   #104 
     - How do you explain that the French have the highest longevity next to the Japanese?  AllieB   Jun-07-09 07:58 AM   #119 
        - There are so many other cultural factors.  ContinentalOp   Jun-07-09 04:06 PM   #145

        - It doesn't really make any sense to use the French as an example,  ContinentalOp   Jun-07-09 04:08 PM   #146 
           - And they eat tons of innards-kidney, brains, tripe etc.  AllieB   Jun-07-09 06:08 PM   #162 
              - I'm not talking about anecdotal evidence...  ContinentalOp   Jun-07-09 10:24 PM   #184 
                 - the study doesn't include game meat and innards.  AllieB   Jun-08-09 05:47 AM   #197 
  - Not "selfish"...we just draw the line in different places.  MercutioATC   Jun-06-09 09:07 PM   #58 
  - Well, I would draw the line between humans and vaguely sentient animals.  Cessna Invesco Palin   Jun-06-09 09:12 PM   #61 
  - Fair enough, neither would I...but I admit it's an arbitrary line.  MercutioATC   Jun-06-09 10:22 PM   #76 
  - Don't assume that everyone's position is as irrational as the average meat-eater's.  superduperfarleft   Jun-07-09 05:36 PM   #157
