Egg a day tied to lower risk of heart disease

It makes a lot of sense that eggs and milk are some of the healthiest foods on the planet.. I guess not everybody can digest dairy that well, but for those who can, wow, that is some good nutrition.

Pretty much. Greek yogurt is awesome too. 20+ g of protein per serving with no sugar. Mix it into your eggs/omelettes for moar protein and fluffiness.

Something like 75% of the worlds population is lactose intolerant. If that isn't a clue for you that your above statement is wrong, then I don't know what to tell you. Not to mention that the dairy industry is absolutely abhorrent. There is no need for a grown adult to drink breastmilk.

Ya, I understand, it is SUPER SUPER nutritious, but some people can't handle it.. Here is an ethnic breakdown.

For those who can handle it, there is no reason to avoid this superfood that is one of the most delicious things on the planet (think: cheese)

And in fact, for those who cannot handle it, there are some varieties that contain little to no lactose such as certain varieties of yogurt. So there no reason for anybody to avoid dairy completely. In addiction to being digestible, these varieties of yogurt contain high amounts of probiotics which can actually aid in digestion.

Avoiding dairy may not be the best solution for those with lactose intolerance.

Training Your Body to Digest Lactose

-People who are poor at digesting lactose may be able to improve their tolerance of dairy products by consuming small quantities of milk or lactose supplements regularly.

-Only a few, small-scale trials in humans have tested this theory, but the results are encouraging.

-The good news for those who wish to try this approach is that the daily lactose dose needed to see results might be lower than what prompts the symptoms of lactose intolerance.

I owe you rep.

The body will adapt and it will adapt more if the conditioning is multi-generational.

Do they lump Irish/Scots in with Brits like some geneologists do? /curious cuz there's a category in my DNA test called "British/Irish". thnx.

There are lots of good reasons to ditch dairy, but this quote eloquently sums up my top reason. If you're not willing to watch the video I posted, at least read this quote...

"I became a vegan the day I watched a video of a calf being born on a factory farm. The baby was dragged away from his mother before he hit the ground. The helpless calf strained its head backwards to find his mother. The mother bolted after her son and exploded into a rage when the rancher slammed the gate on her. She wailed the saddest noise I’d ever heard an animal make, and then thrashed and... dug into the ground, burying her face in the muddy placenta.

I had no idea what was happening respecting brain chemistry, animal instinct, or whatever. I just knew that this was deeply wrong. I just knew that such suffering could never be worth the taste of milk and veal. I empathized with the cow and the calf and, in so doing, my life changed."

- James McWilliams​

It almost sounds like you're saying God is OK with this fallen world. I disagree. Yes, we live in a fallen world, but as Christians, we are supposed to want and aim for God's perfect will, on earth as it is in heaven.

Jesus taught us to pray for that.

"This, then, is how you should pray:

‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.’"

Matthew 6: 9-13​

I believe that as we are getting closer to the last days, God has been calling many of his people to a kinder, gentler plant-based diet, as it was in the very beginning. For me, it was definitely something that I felt called to do… And I've heard the same thing from other Christian vegans. I personally believe that an awakening is happening, worldwide. It is growing in a phenomenal way, and I believe without a doubt that it is the future. I believe that because it is prophesied, and because I can see it happening with my own eyes.

I've read where you once wrote on this forum, that the process of becoming vegan was a sort of awakening. I think this is one of those things where people are going to have a slanted view, regardless of which side they are on, and will see legitimacy in the arguments for their side no matter what. I used to think non meat eaters were pussies, and real men eat meat and all that jazz. I would have read what you wrote and thought "whatever, we're on the top of the food chain" etc.

After a tour in Afghanistan as a grunt in the Marine Corps, I developed a very strong aversion to killing. It hit me one day, I wouldn't myself kill an animal intentionally, for food, why would I have someone else do it? I understand some people have no problem killing an animal themselves, and I can respect that. However, I agree with Tolstoy, that as long as men slaughter animals, they will slaughter each other. I definitely think there is some truth to that.

I agree with pretty much everything you say on this issue. There was a time I wouldn't have.

I've been curious about the British/Irish thing myself. I got one of those DNA test for my mom a couple years ago, and she came back 70% British/Irish, and I don't really know what that means. Are the two almost inseparable genetically?

Honestly, IDK. I never bothered to look deeper into it after I got the results back. Now I'm curious and have to look into it. Will get to it ASAP.

Again, what about Incests? What about them?

I have made females like this physical exhausted too, while also sucking on their tits.

They always call me back again for the same treatment. Strange.

You brought up a number of excellent points, and you have no idea how happy I am that there’s someone else here who sees it the same way… Finally!

I'm glad that you alluded to the silly stereotype that non-meateaters aren't manly. I've thought about this, and I think the exact opposite is true. In my view, a true man is a protector of the weak and defenseless, not one who harms innocent beings (babies, really.) Also, It takes courage and self-confidence to go against the crowd and do what one feels is right, so I admire men who go vegan, especially when it is done for the animals.

I love that Tolstoy quote you referred to, and there are a number of very wise men throughout history who have said something similar. I do think that when we turn our eyes away from the violence and horror that goes on every day in slaughterhouses, we become sort of hard-hearted. But the opposite is true when one widens their circle of mercy and love, to include animals (also creations of God.) I think it not only makes an individual more empathetic, but society overall. That reminds me of a famous quote… “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” It makes sense to me, because when we value the rights and dignity of the very least among us… how much more will we value human rights and peace with others?

Thanks so much for chiming in here, I think yours is the best post on this thread.
