Quick Clarification: I fully respect anyone who doesn't eat meat because they refuse to support any animal cruelty. I completely respect and admire that. My issue with veganism is mostly the nutritional "arguments" that claim having meat in your diet, along with vegetables and grains, etc., is...

This is proof that you should never take a fact from one source and consider it verified.

I was also mistaken about the "they don't even eat cow" aspect. I really botched that fact up. Some Indians do eat beef. Beef is eaten in India by millions of people, including Dalits, Muslims, and Christians. According to government data, around 80 million Indians eat beef, including more than...

I'm sorry. I was on autopilot and typed the same number as the above statistic by accident. It's 33%. Good catch. Thanks. As of 2023, India has roughly 33% of the world's cattle, or 307.5 million head. This makes India the country with the world's largest dairy herd, which includes cows and...

...they are supporting the "enemy." I'm just politely debating here, @lxskllr. I have nothing against vegans. People can do and eat whatever the f*ck they want. It's really none of my business what anyone does with their life nor their body. But, naturally, just like every other person on this...

I'm not saying we shouldn't end all animal cruelty. We must and we should. I love animals more than humans. My point is simply that veganism isn't the answer to saving all of the innocent animals and that some vegan foods contain animal parts.

I always think it's pretty funny when a vegan tells me that we should stop eating meat (for a variety of different reasons; but I'm only going to discuss one at the moment) and how we need to completely stop "senselessly killing" sentient beings. They seem to think that if we only eat and farm...

Random Fact: You know how when you're preparing a steak and see some of the blood? Or when you're cutting into a cooked steak and see some blood? *record scratch* It's not blood, you silly goose! The red fluid that comes out of meat is not blood, but rather a protein called myoglobin mixed...

...if a rope has a nominal diameter of 28 mm and a tolerance of +2% to +5%, then the measured diameter could be between 28.56 mm and 29.12 mm. ***In critical cases, it's recommended to measure the effective diameter of a rope while it's loaded with 5% of its calculated breaking strength."***...

That's a bit dramatic. All I did was call you out, brother. And I did so honestly, directly, and politely. No need to fake your death; just hit the "ignore" button.

@Mick! Stop being such a cynical skeptic. You thought I made up my story about my ex-girlfriend, too, and I proved that I wasn't lying by posting the restraining order with her name on it. Now you think I'd lie about something as petty as a gopher's freaking fur? Don't look now, but your trust...

That's exactly what I was saying. =-P

"The Loaf" Tasteless food as a punishment... A brief history and then, mostly, about the present applications.
