John McDougall MD discusses what dairy products have going for them. They are a great source of nutrition -- for getting fat and growing tumors!

This is Dr. McDougall's presentation from the 2005 Healthy Lifestyle Expo. More info and talks available here on DVD: https://secure2.vegsource.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=73&products_...

  • Dr. McDougall for Surgeon General

  • A solution is to just not care about having something like milk. It seems to be a psychological attachment for some. The same thing goes for fake meats. Then again, I'm one of the more radical ones who advocates a diet of raw fruit and vegetables (like Douglas Graham's 80-10-10 diet).

    So your sources are all pro vegan website? You don't think they might be a little bias?

  • @billweir1745

    Um Chimps and Bonobos (pygmy chimps) both eat meat. Baboons hunt and eat meat also.

  • @dbellinasr Gorillas have canines, much larger than ours, and they are herbivores. Canines are designed for defensive purposes.

  • I can understand that some meat eaters might feel the need to argue, but trying to use Science to justify your food choices is a bit too much. You can just admit that you eat meat because you want to. I personally don't hate meat eaters - I have many meat eating friends. I even disagree with vegans judging meat eaters.

    Anyways, you should check out these links:

  • LMAO, dbellinasr, are YOU kidding me? Humans have stomach acid 20 times weaker than that of a true carnivore / omnivore. Guess what? Cows are herbivores too, just like humans, and they are forced to eat meat and also meat from other cows. Just because we can digest something to some extent, doesn't mean we were designed to eat it. We can't digest meat properly - it rots in our stomach and stays there for days. We have intestinal tract 10-11 times our body length. And our ''canines''? Come on!

  • I watched this while enjoying a glass of milk and cookies :)

  • @FrozenMermaid666

    You're joking right? If humans are herbivores then why don't our stomachs have cellulose (the enzyme needed to fully break down vegetation?) And why do our stomachs contain Hydrochloric acid (NOT found in herbivores,) and special enzymes in our pancreas that break down meat? Our mouth also has those crazy things called CANINES, (also not found in herbivores.)

    Sorry buddy, but you are way off when you say humans are naturally herbivores.

  • Sorry, gongoozler18, but there's absolutely no evidence indicating that we are omnivores. We are natural frugivores / herbivores.

    Our omnivorism means we're capable of eating meat (useful from a survival standpoint if that's all that's available), but our bodies aren't geared for it to be a normal, significant part of our diets. Cats are capable of eating plant foods, but it's silly to call cats omnivores just because they're capable of eating that way.
