Other vegans? |
As a matter of fact, once I was really drunk and asking my friend's vegan/straight-edge girlfriend a bunch of questions.
For example, vegans do not eat animals because animals are innocent. Whatever their definition of innocent, they believe that humans don't qualify. So, she told me, it is vegan to eat humans. |
You've unravelled the mystery.  |

According to Vedic philosophy, only humans incur karma (sinful reactions to unnecessarily killing or harming other living beings, other humans included...)
Animals and lower species don't have developed enough consciousness to be subject to laws of karma - they automatically follow applicable laws of nature designating particular types of food as the quota for each species.
Many animals (like elephants, cows, and gorillas ...) are herbivores, and many are meat-eaters.
Physiologically, humans tend to more closely resemble herbivores than they do meat-eaters in key respects:
Herbivores have no claws, perspire through skn pores, have no sharp front teeth; have flat rear molars, have intestinal tracts about 12 times body length, and have stomach acid 20 times weaker than meat-eaters.
Meat-eaters have no skin pores, and they perspire through the tongue. The intestinal tract of meat-eaters is only 3 times body length so rapidly decaying meat can pass out quickly (instead of putrifying and causing various diseases...)
Vegans avoid milk products because of documented abuses to cows by the dairy industry and because they theorize that cows milk is unnatural for humans.
I accept the view of Vedic culture that cows milk is intended for human consumption, and cows - more than any other animals - should be protected from slaughter and abuse since they function like mothers in providing vital nourishment for developing humans...
Questionable processing of milk and the addition of growth hormones, etc., often make it a less nutritious product than it should be.
Of course, even organic milk products can cause health problems - including obesity -if taken excessively.
Due mainly to consuming too much (rennetless) cheese, I'm too dang fat myself - though I've been a (lacto) vegetarian for over 33 years... |

It is kinda weird to be sucking on a cow's teat, essentially. Have yet to see a dog suckle a cat, for example. |

How about a dog nursing tiger cubs? (Scroll down to the story. Here is the photo.) |

The cow may be seen as a different kind of mother - one who supplies the surplus milk it produces to supplement human breast-feeding and to continue supplying milk to toddlers and kids as they grow beyond the breast-feeding stage.
According to ancient Vedic culture, only cows' milk supplies nutrients for the finest brain tissues needed for spiritual thinking, and every part of the cow is considered pure. A prominent Indian scientist confirmed that even cow dung contains all antiseptic properties (at least until flies land on it...) |

| No idea, but as fat as vegans sometime are, they don't seem to get those jowls that even moderate mat-eaters get after 40. |

Is it from all the pasta they eat, or just genetics?

How scientific is that? What does vegan have to do with how much you weigh? Nothing at all. Using your logic, someone who eats a lot of McDonald's would be thin, and I saw guys and girls who were not thin and were eating their hearts out over there. Anyone who cares about that?
I have known plenty of thin vegetarians as well as vegetarians who were not thin. How much you weigh is largely affected by genetics and in some cases they are saying many North Americans have a certain virus which affects them. There is also peoples' DNA. Some people are meant to be smaller than others and others are meant to be larger, but exercise and a sensible diet helps limit how large and also how small... |

If someone is gluten intolerant, and doesn�t know, she will be fat if she eats gluten--even if they are on a diet (wheat, rye, barley, vitamin E products etc.). A good way to know if you are gluten intolerant is if 1-48 hours after eating bread (pasta etc.) you get a slight cramp in your side. |
