I once had a job in which I handled cheap porous paper a lot, and in winter it was drying out and chapping my hands. Someone suggested a hand cream that contained Urea, so I thought, I'll just pee on them. It worked great, and the price was right. Peeing in the shower is also a sure fire treatment for athletes foot.
An old fashioned cure for acne is to wash ones face in morning urine. The woman advocating this (I swear I saw this several years ago on Oprah) advised changing a babys diaper and using that as a washcloth.
You did not answer my question. And it is unnatural for a human to rely on pills to supplement diet.
I don't see the relevance of your question since vitamins are not unnatural.
Gee, let me think for a second, Which would I rather have….
A diet consisting of synthetic vitamins, be fit and in near perfect health OR a diet filled with “natural” meat and be overweight, cancer-prone, heart disease-prone and have beef rotting in my colon?
But what economical benefits would companies have for using these gross substances in cosmetics, etc?
Because it's cheap. The animal shelter has to pay the company to pick up the animals (as opposed to recycling outfits that pay you for taking your usable scrap items).

One thing that bothers me is how some people assume that vegetarians are probably just skinny, weak, hippie, etc.
I think what's more useful to know is that Asian monks have been practicing vegan-like vegetarianism for over 1000 years (maybe even close to 2000+ years). They have been able to create Asian martial arts at the same time. Here is a clip from a documentary (I think National Geographic) showing some abilities and making a brief mention of the food they eat.

It's quite relevant but you seem unwilling to answer the question. And once again, no, relying on pills is not natural at all.
Not to get off subject here but animal urine is used in cosmetics, clothing and hormone replacement???? Are you serious?
Yes. I have been involved in horse rescues where mares are bred and their urine collected and used for hormone replacement in humans (mostly in Canada). Thus resulting in unwanted foals that were generally sent to slaughter. The same was/is being done in the race horse industry where mares are bred to nurse the foal of race horses so they arent kept off the track to care for their own young. The foal of the nurse mare then often sent to slaughter only days old. Although there are alternatives for estrogen and lactation, the practice continues although I believe is declining.

How about eat 'natural' meat in the correct proportion and be perfectly healthy? Lean meat eaten in the correct amounts does not pose any health risks.
There are heathy and unhealthy vegetarians. There are healthy and unhealthy meat-eaters. A healthy diet can be obtained with or without meat. You are taking both sides to opposite extremes to make vegetarians look better. Doing that does not help people take you seriously.
I've had my fill! Never more shall another vegetable have to die to satisfy someone's craving for delicious little Brussels sprouts, or broccoli, or coleslaw. That's why I'm asking my Congressman to sponsor the Fake Food Act. No real foods will be processed in our factories anymore. Instead, chemically synthesized foods will become the only types of foods sold in our supermarkets. Welcome to Flavor Town.
I just can't take the screams of the poor plants that have to die to sate some vegetarian's hunger. (Whereas cows just kinda look at you with that stupid look on their faces...)
Good point, TK. Of course, vegetables feel pain. Why does a flower turn to face the sun? The same reason an animal eats. It is painful not to. The flower eats the suns rays, and turns toward the sun to avoid the pain of that hunger. That's how life works. Organisms that survive have evolved a system of pain, that encourages them to stop the pain by doing what has survival value. Why do you think plants are any different? The reflexes of plants are too slow for stupid humans to recognize their reactions to painful stimuli, and they don't have any vocal mechanism to cry out. But plants still are aware of adverse events and try to defend themselves from it.

If you're eating a balanced, properly portioned, biologically appropriate diet (which includes several grams of animal protein per day), you will not be overweight, cancer prone, at risk of heart disease, have beef rotting in your colon, nor will you have any need for dietary supplements.
The problem that most Americans have is a complete inability to control portions, they eat way too much processed food, do not drink enough water, have basically homogenous diets and have grossly insufficient fiber intake.
Meat does not make people fat, cancerous, diabetic and unhealthy. Undisciplined, uninformed lifestyles make people fat, cancerous, diabetic and unhealthy.
