FYI - you can lose weight eating junk food if you workout enough. It's calories in minus calories out. Simple math. One pound equals about 3500 calories. For one pound loss per week you need to have a 500 calorie deficit per day. That's running about an hour for most people.
He brought up a good point. Your belief that there will be or there is some worldwide movement away from meat is what's strange. There's no such trend. There is a trend like this in Argentina, and it coincides with the decreasing health of the people here. There are different trends in other countries, for example Sweden, and among certain people in the US. You are not very well-informed, and perhaps without knowing, you are a tool of the big agribusiness lobbies, who are happy to replace meat with soy, cereals, and sugars (what they're lobbying for in the USA now, with some success).
There's no need to discuss veganism or vegetarianism in general on this thread. For what it's worth, I have nothing against vegetarianism properly done. Many of my ancestors were at least seasonally vegetarian. But a traditional vegetarian diet has little to do with what I've seen most people in the US call "vegetarian," by which they mean a diet based on anti-nutrients like modern processed grains, soy, and vegetable oils. That said, this is not the place to discuss all this. This is about changes within Argentina. I have no doubt that many people in Argentina have been conditioned to think like you now though.
Please tell me where in this thread I mentioned what my belief is. Earlier in this thread I pointed out blatant misinformation about vegetarian/vegan diets. As for the "thinker," he didn't bring up a good point, but rather made as sarcastic comment with loaded language.
As to your second paragraph, I guess we should pass all posts along to you so you can approve their appropriateness.
You're not brand new to this forum, right? You realize we discuss any and everything in almost every thread. That said, I agree with you that many vegetarians have horrible diets. Just like many meat eaters have horrible diets. Did you have a point in that statement or were you just typing out loud?
I'm doing my best to solve the cattle problem we are gonna have when all you guys become vegetarians!!!! but i really need help, i can only eat so much cattle by myself!! and on top of that ,more and more people are not eating red meat anymore...... i can't keep up picking up the slack of you'' quitters'' eating meat.....oh well ...please don't feel you have to thank me for bbqing on sundays and having steak at least twice a week... nothing heroic about it ... i just do it for the better of human kindoh and saving the ozone layer too due to the gases produced by cattle..... again nothing heroic about it but .... you're welcome eh

If you were really a "thinker" you would understand that behavioral changes don't occur overnight. It would mean a gradual reduction in the number of livestock that exist. They don't live forever. Over years and generations, their numbers would be reduced.
You should change your login ID. It really doesn't fit you.
