Vegetarians!!

[sars_notd_virus]

ok my daughter is celebrating her birthday at the end of this month,...its basically fil/brit kids attending her disco party,..in the invitation card we slipped in a piece of paper for each kids food requirement,...and one came back saying the child is a vegetarian but can eat processed meat?? what does that mean??


Any vegetarian members here??
I know vegans is strictly vegetables and no meats and dairy but this one ...

helllpppppp!!

Just make some boiled cabbage for them.

They will soon be tucking into some chicken nuggets.

Personally I would not cater for 'vegetarian' children, as I consider it 'child abuse'.

I am just confuse with a vegetarian who eats processed meat , why???? (any vegetarian out there?? joebloggs where are u?)

[grahamw48]

Sounds delicious.

The poor soul's parents appear not to know the meaning of 'Vegetarian'.

Sounds like a contradiction of terms.....

[malditako]

where's our invite girl

[stevewool]

it might be wafer thin ham

abuse
the only abuse is letting your kids eat that processed and giving them junk food

[joebloggs]

Sounds like a contradiction of terms.....

the cabbage would be better for the kid,

i cant see why they let the kid eat scrappings of bones etc - you'll probably find many hot dog sausages are made from this - reminds me of 'pag pag'

[lastlid]

Maybe the kid will only eat processed meat, maybe that's it?

[joebloggs]

Maybe the kid will only eat processed meat, maybe that's it?

you could be right, but you wouldn't say your a veggy

maybe buy some linda mcarnty veggy sausages cost you over £1 for 8 or many of the big supermarkets have their own veggy sausages,

Humans have evolved into Omnivores.

That is why we are blessed with a short digestive tract (unlike the huge stomachs of Vegetarian Gorillas), only a rudimentary Appendix and our type of dentition .

I think you will find mankind has evolved over time unless your religious , not many of us are cave dwellers any more and most of us dont live in medieval times

[grahamw48]

I believe the word 'evolved' WAS in my response.

Physically we are much the same as we were perhaps 100,000 years ago...those times when we were hunting and fishing...for meat, as well as munching on roots and berries etc. It's all scientifically documented.

Anyway, I've nothing more to say on the subject, as I've no wish to fall out over it.

Although some historians and anthropologists say that man is historically omnivorous, our anatomical equipment . teeth, jaws, and digestive system favors a fleshless diet. The American Dietetic Association notes that "most of mankind for most of human history has lived on vegetarian or near-vegetarian diets."

And much of the world still lives that way. Even on most industrialized countries, the love affair with meat is less than a hundred years old. It started with the refrigerator car and the twentieth-century consumer society. But even with the twentieth century, man's body hasn't adapted to eating meat. The prominent Swedish scientist Karl von Linne states, "Man's structure, external and internal, compared with that of the other animals, shows that fruit and succulent vegetables constitute his natural food." The chart below compares the anatomy of man with that of carnivorous and herbivorous animals.

When you look at the comparison between herbivores and humans, we compare much more closely to herbivores than meat eating animals. Humans are clearly not designed to digest and ingest meat.

Meat-eaters: have claws
Herbivores: no claws
Humans: no claws

Meat-eaters: have no skin pores and perspire through the tongue
Herbivores: perspire through skin pores
Humans: perspire through skin pores

Meat-eaters: have sharp front teeth for tearing, with no flat molar teeth for grinding
Herbivores: no sharp front teeth, but flat rear molars for grinding
Humans: no sharp front teeth, but flat rear molars for grinding

Meat-eaters: have intestinal tract that is only 3 times their body length so that rapidly decaying meat can pass through quickly
Herbivores: have intestinal tract 10-12 times their body length.
Humans: have intestinal tract 10-12 times their body length.

Meat-eaters: have strong hydrochloric acid in stomach to digest meat
Herbivores: have stomach acid that is 20 times weaker than that of a meat-eater
Humans: have stomach acid that is 20 times weaker than that of a meat-eater

Meat-eaters: salivary glands in mouth not needed to pre-digest grains and fruits.
Herbivores: well-developed salivary glands which are necessary to pre-digest grains and fruits
Humans: well-developed salivary glands, which are necessary to pre-digest, grains and fruits

Meat-eaters: have acid saliva with no enzyme ptyalin to pre-digest grains
Herbivores: have alkaline saliva with ptyalin to pre-digest grains
Humans: have alkaline saliva with ptyalin to pre-digest grains
Based on a chart by A.D. Andrews, Fit Food for Men, (Chicago: American Hygiene Society, 1970)

thanks for the reply joe , but have you known any vegetarian who eats processed meat ??? i surely will cater for a child who has a ''gluten free'' diet but will not exert any effort to get special processed meat or vegetarian sausage for one child....am sure she will be fine with nuggets and salad.

[stevewool]

India textbook says meat-eaters lie and commit sex crimes

"Meat-eaters "easily cheat, lie, forget promises and commit sex crimes", according to a controversial school textbook available in India.

New Healthway, a book on hygiene and health aimed at 11 and 12 year-olds, is printed by one of India's leading publishers."

I'm Veggie and I pretty much just swap any meats with Tofu. Works well with any Filipino dish, especially Adobo, yum
