Mmmmmmm, mushy green and orange shit.

Seriously, showcase some less vomit-looking food if you want to convince anyone that eating like a rabbit is a good idea. I've had some veggie dishes that look a hell of a lot better on camera than whatever the hell you're holding at the beginning of this video.

@ryuuseicha I agree with you. notice my half smirk.

with the amount of cows pigs and chickens you "SAVE" from the whole world becoming vegan it doubles the carbon footprint your trying to reduce by let the animals live a cow fart is 1/4 of a car starting its engine so by you not eating that protein that you NEED that comes from JUST meat youre hurting the enviroment more you think

@hueyblade there wouldnt be half the cows in existence if we didnt insist on breeding and multiplying the hell out of them for our consumption.

how do you get protein if you only eat vegetables? Lacking protein in our diet can cause serious health issues.

I have a protein fairy who slips me some protein when i need it. she's like a "friend with protein benefits"

@Plomomedia Why didn't you just say that there are other forms of protein, like nuts, and protein in vegetables too. Come on, educate.

@bostonviewer Hi, I've never heard this before. Could you give me some more information or reading about meat weakening the body's natural ability to derive protein from plants?

[Kiddalee]

@hueyblade Did you even listen to the video? It doesn't talk about saving animals. It's about saving energy. Why is it that he pops a vegetarian idea into his video and all of a sudden you assume it's about being nice to animals when he didn't even mention that?

[bostonviewer]

The protein issue is a red herring, so to speak. The physiological fact is that your body diminishes its ability to produce and store protein from other foods if you eat meat all the time. A varied vegetarian diet with whole grains, cooked legumes and/or eggs/dairy gradually re-tools the metabolism to create and store proteins from foods other than meat. This is actually a more efficient and healthier metabolism, as well as being better for the entire planet.
