Mark Bittman: What's wrong with what we eat

Please wake up people. Search the truth on global warming and the cycles of the sun. How many scientiest 'really' believe that man is the cause...etc. These are only more scare tactics for their global agenda.

we should eat meat meat instead.

Well I'll stick by my Barbaric ancestors and sitting next to King Arthur at the Round Table and with King Ganbrinis that will bring beers and wine... We'll eat all GOOD food that "God" gave our ancestors to EAT... Like "he/she" said: Give a man a fish and he'll eat in a day, teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime something like that... How else that WE of our modern ancestors SURVIVED!!!!

i see what you are saying... that obviously the world has been slowly heating up since the ice age, thus, why we arent covered in ice anymore... and that scientists believe that... and that many scientists believe this is natural and not man made. got it

what about FDA regs that REQUIRE companies to add chemical compounds to products, that have been proven to cause cancer, diabeties, obesity, and various other diseases? Or that at the same time these chages happened w/ our diets, that the medical/pahrmaceutical industry went through the roof...everything is now a "condition" that must be treated w medication

one of the other things to look at, is FDA regs. To be allowed their endorsement, companies are forced to add chemical compounds to food products, that are KNOWN to cause diabeties, cancer, obesity, and various other diseases. . . all in the name of profits!!!

I think the problem is not eating the meat, it is the way we humans use that as an excuse.
I eat meat almost 3 times a week.
I eat vegi's almost 5 times a week maybe even the full 7 days of a week.
A human is meant to eat meat and vegi's.
Look at our teeth, if we where suposed to eat greens all the time, why do we have some razor sharp cutting teeth?

I agree with not killing so much for meat, but stop eating it.
Never!

Why culture ANIMAL protein?

To: mundo77 I grew up on a N.A. beef farm, so I have a more grounded understanding of this issue than those who just open their wallet at the grocery corp. for the wekend BBQ.
Each one of us needs a certain amount of resources(sustainable biodiversity)to support our lives. Imagine tearing off a chunk of your house or apartment so that another person has place to live.

To: mundo77 Braizil and Argentina's ranching expansions are not on native grasslands. Have you any idea how much rainforest is detroyed each and every day on to clear land which last about a year to feel beef cattle!
