| ________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 9:35am - martins ""] Buy meat from local farmers who feed their animals what they were meant to eat if it's such a problem |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 9:44am - the_reverend ""] bzzzt. That doesn't matter since you can feed 15 people off the land to feed one on chicken. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 9:46am - arilliusbm ""] I had incredible steak tips last night. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 9:52am - the_reverend ""] but could you meet the meat before hand? |

Hahaha If you want to feed 15 people carbohydrates, incomplete proteins, egregious levels of omega 6, phylates, and lectins. I prefer to keep my macro- and micro-nutrient levels in balance. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 9:54am - arilliusbm ""] It's the circle of life. Humans are on the top of the food chain. You're just in denial. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 9:54am - martins ""] the_reverend said:but could you meet the meat before hand? I went out to Barre, MA a few weeks ago to buy some grassfed meat from this one-man farm. We saw his lands, saw some of his cows and equipment, and bought some fucking tasty meat for a reasonable price. |

| ________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 9:56am - martins ""] You can't compare socio-economic standing to special standing. Poverty almost always leads to malnutrition and, in the US, obesity. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 9:57am - arktouros ""] Driving 10 minutes from Worcester to Barre is like crossing 8 state lines. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 9:58am - the_reverend ""] I was talking about lions martins. Lions would have a big problem with us thinking we were #1. |

Yeah, place ruled though and the farmer we met was the fucking man. He would break into a Scottish accent in the middle of sentences. Plus, he fucking raises cattle TO EAT THEM. |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:00am - arilliusbm ""] lol, perhaps you should read more about poaching. |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:05am - largefreakatzero ""] Regardless of the fact that they are an impressive predator, lions die when you shoot them. To each his own, but I really don't believe that a vegan diet is nutritious - especially from a protein standpoint. Some of my most enjoyable meals were from birds that I shot and wrang their necks, and filleted the meat off their breast. Compassion is for pussies, smart conservation is where it's at. |

Except that we have the special evolutionary advantage of symbolic language and thus technology. So lions go RAWR and we go bang. Everyone go check out these guys and gals. Aside from their caveman diet, I really like the ideas about exercise being modeled of the way kids play. I want a giant adult playground that I can scramble and jump around on. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:07am - arilliusbm ""] There is no question that grassfed animals and other naturally raised animals are better tasting and "morally" better. But I don't care about that shit when I'm hungry and the supermarket is closer than my local butcher. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:08am - martins ""] Oh ya, I forgot about John Durant and that recent NYTimes article and Colbert Report interview. That's basically what I do but I'm not as strict with the dairy. It's just eating real food and working out to create a balanced body structure. Been doing it for almost 6 months now. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:09am - martins ""] arilliusbm said:There is no question that grassfed animals and other naturally raised animals are better tasting and "morally" better. But I don't care about that shit when I'm hungry and the supermarket is closer than my local butcher. For me the moral part is kind of a bonus. I eat grassfed because the animals have a proper ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 (about 1:1) and because they are more nutritious over all. More Vitamin D etc etc. When I do buy storebought meat, I take an omega-3 supp to make up for the omega-6s. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:17am - Doomkid ""] I don't know what your area is like martins, but if you live in an urban area and want to run around but feel like you're in bare feet I suggest Vibram 5 Fingers. They look kinda hokey but I got a pair last fall and they're great for running on everything up to hard gravel and asphalt. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:19am - martins ""] I don't like Vibrams. Tried a pair on a few weeks ago and it's too weird. I've been wearing Feelmax Pankas for over a month now though. They're another company that makes barefoot shoes but they look more like shoes. Really cool stuff and I notice a huge difference in my gait, foot, and leg strength. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:21am - Doomkid ""] They have barefoot boots too? No way. I need to see if they retail anywhere around here. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:22am - martins ""] You can order from Amazon too though the sizes differ slightly from Vibram. I'm a 43 for Feelmax but somewhere between a 42 and a 43 for Vibram. |

| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:26am - martins ""] 200% agree |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:30am - arilliusbm ""] lol you buy organic shoes too? |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:31am - Doomkid ""] They're not organic, they just feel like you're not wearing anything on your feet. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:32am - martins ""] I don't think they're organic. The soles are still rubber just really thin and really flexible. I can feel the ground underfoot and shit, it just doesn't hurt me if I step on glass or something. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:33am - the_reverend ""] largefreakatzero said:Regardless of the fact that they are an impressive predator, lions die when you shoot them.The same can be said about people... and a paradox. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:36am - the_reverend ""] I like that the born to run and eating animals threads have crossed streams. I wanted to get a set of vibrams since I started running barefoot in the fall, but they look QUEER ARE FUCK and are $80. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:40am - martins ""] Feelmax. You can find them for about 60-70. Still don't condone long-distance running. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:42am - the_reverend ""] I started running down railroad tracks and downtown barefoot, but i find you have to avoid too many things since you are barefoot, but it just feels better. I'm only looking to run 2-3 miles. |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:43am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Doomkid said:They're not organic, they just feel like you're not wearing anything on your feet. That sounds fucking horrible...then again I have flat feet, so I'm always feeling horrible. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:44am - martins ""] You have flat feet because of shoes. It's a shitty cycle. I never had flat feet but since wearing barefoot shoes, my arch is even higher and stronger. |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:46am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I have flat feet because I was born with shitty feet and shoes made them shittier. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:46am - arilliusbm ""] LOL Does it matter? |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:46am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Nothing matters. Only pain. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:47am - martins ""] I don't know. I had pretty persistent lower back pain before and since going barefoot, it's all gone. |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:49am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Yeah but you never had flat feet, so fuck you. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:50am - the_reverend ""] weird, too bad there isn't a book about that martins. I should write it and call it born to um.. soemthing. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:51am - arilliusbm ""] Well there ya go. Everyone's physique is different. I've had flat feet since I was born but they never bothered me when I played sports. You're not supposed to run flat-footed anyway. It ain't the shoes. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:52am - martins ""] MarkFuckingRichards said:Yeah but you never had flat feet, so fuck you. Doesn't change the fact that it's fixable. |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 10:58am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I'm too lazy to read all of that. I'd rather sit on my ass all day and complain. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 11:00am - martins ""] You're still a vegetarian right? What made you do that? More curious than anything else. I make fun of my other vegetarian friend but that's because he's a douchebag. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 11:01am - arilliusbm ""] Lies. Cloud eats meat. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 11:01am - martins ""] arilliusbm said:Lies. Cloud eats meat. ? Oh... Your jokes just get funnier with time. Like a fine wine. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 11:02am - arilliusbm ""] ¿ |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 11:07am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I went vegetarian for a few reasons: first I stopped liking the taste of most meat, followed by the way it made me feel, and of course leading to the lack of desire to eat meat, all accompanying my disgust towards factory farms. I personally couldn't bring myself to kill an animal either, unless it was for the sole reason of survival so I decided it was best for me to pursue a vegetarian lifestyle. For the record, I will never go vegan. I like dairy and eggs waaaay too much. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 11:10am - martins ""] Oh well, more meat for me! |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 11:12am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Correct. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 11:21am - martins ""] Awesome. Making Lamb Heart later this week and having an antelope shoulder roast this weekend. If only Hoser could see me now. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 11:29am - the_reverend ""] is there a cure for dick curve? |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 11:32am - martins ""] Yes. Barefoot condoms. |

And if we expand population fifteenfold, and reduce animal habitats that much more, how long before all the animals are extinct? |
| ________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 1:31pm - martins ""] Yeah, it's almost as if Rev doesn't realize what natural fertilizers are made of LOL Read "The Vegetarian Myth" by Lierre Keith, ya'll Breatharians |

Hey, what do you think those animals WE eat are eating? We are tertiary eaters: Everything we eat has eaten something else. If a cattle eats pesticide cud, and you eat a steak, then you just ate a whole bucket full of creature that's brimming with poison. Do some reading. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 1:41pm - arilliusbm ""] Who cares? Tastes good. I eat insects. They are high in protein. I don't care if they thrive around shit. I'll eat that too. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 1:49pm - Archaeon ""] I'm shooting on becoming a vegetarian this summer. I would start now but I'm trying to gain weight and that's probably the worst idea. I don't want to eat meat because I'm fagcore and suck. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 1:58pm - reimroc ""] I really don't care about what some vegan thinks about me or any other human being that does what humans as animals do, EAT MEAT. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 2:07pm - arilliusbm ""] Martins needs to post a before and after pic. Somethings I expect to see in the after pic: -arched foot -smaller gut -haircut -an snes in the background instead of emulating -a girl somewhere in the photo -a muscle slam band shirt -the original Sydofex lineup in the background |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 2:17pm - TheRidersofDoom ""] I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain so I could eat at the bottom!!! |

Do some reading. I agree that eating meat from unknown sources is a relatively roulette-esque activity. However feeding animals that normally would eat grasses and grains in the wild more refined versions of those (ie: domesticated crops) does not pose a problem. Concentration of biomass can and does lead to problems with pesticides, mercury and other fun things but that doesn't make it inherently bad. Nothing inherently bad with vegetarianism/veganism either. |

Nothing inherently bad with vegetarianism/veganism either. @ToC I have done the reading and the watching. Take a gander at Food Inc. Great documentary. I told you that I eat grass fed as often as possible. Grass fed is, by nature, organic and antibiotic free and usually processed at small family run processing plants (Caledoina farms, the place where I bought my grass-fed steak, processes their steaks at a very small family-run processor). I'm quite aware that the food industry is a disgusting mess but that doesn't mean you don't have a choice in how healthy you want to be. It just has to be a priority... or not. |

Worst one is ten pounds lighter than I was at my heaviest. But I've lost 40 pounds since starting in late September 2009. I'm in the best shape of my life so far (which isn't saying much really) and I haven't been sick since starting (despite people around me having been sick multiple times). I can post an after pic but there isn't really an after. I plan to eat like this for the rest of my life. |

| ________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 3:17pm - martins ""] Maybe except that I don't really care how you eat. I just like to educate. Except that I made everything up. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 3:20pm - arilliusbm ""] What about when you're raising a family? Are you going to stay away from processed baby food, etc? My problem with eating healthy is that it's so fucking expensive. I don't like spending more than 70 bucks at a food store. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 3:25pm - martins ""] I don't spend more than about 70 dollars a week on food. Usually closer to 50. I also only eat once a day so that cuts on costs too. Eggs + meat + broccoli + brussel sprouts is my favorite dinner. And yes, I plan to raise a healthy family. If I ever meet a dude who would want to adopt a Filipino boy with me. I mean uh... |

Easier for the body to digest than just 1 giant meal. |

Easier for the body to digest than just 1 giant meal. Yeah, that's a common misconception. You're talking about the thermogenic effect of food which says that a certain amount of calories gets converted to a certain amount of energy. If a person were to consume 3000 calories over the course of 6 meals they would create the same amount of energy as a person who consumed 3000 calories at one meal. The problem becomes that 6-mealer is not letting the energy from the previous meal be depleted and is actually losing energy. This is aside from the fact that fasting puts your body in a more alert state. I almost never feel tired during the day anymore because of it. Nevermind that by the end of the day, I'm deep into ketosis, burning purely stored fat for fuel. |

| ________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 8:30pm - martins ""] Don't forget the complete razing of the land where wildlife would have thrived. I'm sure even Hoser would get some enjoyment out of reading The Vegetarian Myth. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 8:48pm - Doomkid ""] To be fair, the feed required to raise livestock needs to come from those same grain farms that killed all the moles and associated wildlife. Unfortunately, usually more humans = bad for biodiversity no matter how you cut it. We need less of us or somewhere else to put us. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 9:05pm - the_reverend ""] so.... killing 15x more of those voles is better? I want to read a book call the vagina myth. |

Like I said a few times already today. Grass fed wins. |

| ________________________________ [Feb 8,2010 9:31pm - martins ""] I never said it was the only thing that's fucked up but it's definitely the one that hits closest to home. Anyone who buys mass produced food and eats it is directly affected - first person involvement. Unless of course you feel your every day civil liberties being suppressed. |

Its not that Peter Singer's philosophy doesn't make sense, I just think he's wrong about the extent to which he takes utilitarianism. If one is going to put the pain of animals grown for food in a certain category one should also put all pain-feeling beings in that category. And pain is such a vague term that plants could easily be put in this category with their trauma-response systems. |

I am a strong advocate of massive global die off of the human species. Obviously I hope Europe and NE are spared as well as obvious portions of each ethnicity, culture, and language |

HOWEVER humanity should have colonized the oceans a long time ago. Certain technologies, with enough funding, could have easily sustained the worlds population for shelter and food. But alas, greed and other negative attributes of humans have led to our decline, which we are ultimately witnessing as each day passes. The calling of WWIII is here. Massive population loss is over due. economic recovery wad a benefit of large scale wars in the past (wwi, WWII) but it won't work this time around. Global society is indeed doomed, as the population class chasm grows larger and larger. You're either a survivor, or you're doomed. The next two years will be a huge bridge in the develepment of our species. |

Water crisis, modern divide, corporatism, resources, it takes time. China essentially blocked anything from happening at the recent climate summit to protect their growing industrial age. Every superpower should have pledged trillions to ensure the well being of first and third world infrastructure, sustainability, and so on and so on... but they didn't, nothing happened. So, here we go. Space colonization is far off, but yeah the tech has been there, oceans should have been colonized decades ago. Sustainable ecosystems, endless water supply... anyway, there's a crunch coming, you'll get what you wish for. Conditions to facilitate evolution. Fundamentalists, greed, individual interests....they outweigh any altrusitic thing you've ever done. A species with a massive spectrum like us is fucked from the start. My band doesn't say WAR ON EARTH FOR ALL TIME because we like the sound of it. |

As President Reagan boldly stated, perhaps we need a threat of an alien invasion the fully unite as a species and defend our only home. |

His self-proclaimed crush on Locke from FF3(6) is somewhat respectible, given the fact Locke saves Celes -and ultimately the world -through his elite skills in cross dressing and espionage. |
