The study that i did showed that humans need the protein in meat. Tons of health problems were a result of a vegetarian/vegan diets.

You should be saying that to those who teach students absurd things like: "we need to eat meat in order to be healthy, we need meat to get complete proteins, we need cows milk to get calcium etc". Because those are the people lying to students and the students can't question those lies because they are students. The fact is that humans can live perfectly healthy without any animal foods. It's so much better for the environment and the animals. Everyone is happy.

Any proof of that? That vegan bodybuilders take drugs?

Isn't it fun to teach a university captive audience, Brenda? They can't run away because it's part of the curriculum. They won't question what you teach because you're the teacher and they're the students. If you make a mistake, they won't correct you because they're good little kids who obey authority. If you lie outright, they won't point that out either because they'll assume you're making a mistake, and you won't get corrected, and so forth.

Life is good.

Vegan bodybuilders eat processed soy to get concentrated protein. But then you blame processed foods in video #8. If we must eat processed soy to get enough protein, and if processed foods is bad for us, then a vegan diet is no better than the diet is replaces.

@VVofA

Those are the wrong questions. The real question is:

Can humans digest plant fiber to get the protein contained therein? And the answer is, of course, no. At this point, is there really a need to go through all 8 videos?

This ugly has-been just needs to sit down and shut her huge mouth. People who do not eat meat tend to be weak. Those phony "veagan body builders" take drugs. Yes folks, they're frauds. Stick to eating in moderation and include variety. Avoid all meat is just moronic.

@MrBestrong1 Chimps eat less than 2% of meat, derive no net protein from it, and most of that is only sucked for its juice. Even apes are smart enuf not to eat rotting carcass!

But there are tons of things about a chimp's life, body, health that I would not come near to tolerating in my life. For instance I am not going to masturbate in public, nor am I going to pick bugs out of my friend's hair and eat them, etc. Youve been sold rotting lies! Set your standard for life higher, man!

Somebody tell her all herbivore animals are natural strong wen they come to earth their weigh is equal to full grown male..... I hate wen dumb people give example of bulls, elephant, cows, deer etc we r omnivores just like chimps. go in jungle I will see for how long u will survive without meat. Go do some practically search then make videos
