I could handle being with a vegetarian. Full out vegan... hell no. My sister is one and I've literally watched her waste away from a healthy looking person to a skeleton. Oh, and she'll binge on food that isn't vegan just to puke it up later. I love her, but that **** makes me sick. There are people starving around the world that would literally eat the food she vomited up. Totally disgusting behavior (not that all or even most vegans do this).

And when nuclear armageddon (insert any other SHTF scenario) occurs, you'll be glad that a few held on to the old ways.

OMG! This is bulimic behavior. It sounds like the veganism for her is also a form of obsessive-compulsive behavior toward food. She needs help, not disgust.

Most don't. Generally, western vegetarians tend to be healthier than meat eaters. Although, that's in part due to the demographic (higher SES).

Nope. Not a dealbreaker. Actually it's kind of a little daydream of mine is to meet someone from Arkansa or Georgia who can hit a small animal from over a mile away with a strong cross wind in a forest.



With a revolver. Blindfolded.

I really don't think they ate as much meat as we eat today. For one, they didn't have refrigeration. They would occasionally kill an animal to have food, but they also ate other things. We have meat readily available all the time; they didn't.

It's not 100 generations ago, but my dad was born in 1928 and I once asked him about eating meat when he was growing up. He said they mostly ate pork because that is what they raised and that they didn't eat a lot of it because it was so salty you could hardly eat it. They had to salt it heavily to preserve it. He said back then, at least where he grew up, people didn't really eat beef.

Besides the fact that this is called a lost argument . Just wait until the rapture comes! Until then you will keep relying on modern medicine and technology. Won't ya? Yea, that's what I thought LOL.
