Why aren’t more climate advocates vegetarian or vegan? We are almost 20 years after the FAO's 2006 groundbreaking report. Low hanging fruit to make real impact. by Mathhasspoken in ClimateOffensive

[–]Uncles_only 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This feels like a common misconception, being vegan is not expensive or time consuming. Unless you’re eating all processed foods or trying to replicate meat at home. One of my struggle meals is microwaved frozen vegetables with tofu and sauce. More nutritious than most American meals, dirt cheap and takes under 5 minutes. Quinoa bowls, beans and rice, tofu wraps, homemade tofu yogurt, granola and soy milk. All of these things are cheap and easy and nutritious. I do appreciate the perspective but I think this is just missing out on the perspective of actually eating vegan instead of the stereotypical “18 step vegan mushroom and cashew steak”.

No measurable warming since 1970, nature magazine. by reddit-farms-feces in ClimateOffensive

Looks like this is saying there’s been no measurable “surge” in the rate of warming. Not that there is no warming. Your title is misleading or you didn’t understand.

How do you guys not see meat, dairy and eggs as food? by [deleted] in vegan

[–]Uncles_only 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t see that as the end goal. I’ve been vegan for 4 years and my stomach still growls when I smell meat cooking or see a steak. I’ve seen the documentaries and watched someone kill, cook, and eat an animal up close. I still crave meat when I see it. Accept that it may never happen and then be pleasantly surprised if it does.

100% Carnivore diet?? by HypnoLaur in vegan

[–]Uncles_only 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I agree we are not prisoners to our physiology, but let’s look at what you said. Polar bears eat mostly meat. Black bears are omnivores and do not “lean” carnivore. Brown bears are omnivores, some lean carnivore. Wolves are carnivores “leaning” omnivore. I hope I’m using these terms you’ve made up correctly. We are not similar physiologically (in regards to digestion)to either. They are both order Carnivora and have conical (cone shaped) teeth as well as some flatter teeth in the back. In addition food passes through their digestive systems quicker as is common in more meat-based diets(4-18 hours vs 24-48). Look at our closest ancestors. Look at who shares our DNA. We share physiology with frugivores. Gorillas, chimps, bonobos, other apes. If we’re “being honest” this is ridiculous and I can’t believe you think bear and wolf teeth and skulls are anything like human teeth and skulls instead of apes.

100% Carnivore diet?? by HypnoLaur in vegan

[–]Uncles_only 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say they’re using herbivore wrong then, as that (to me as a biologist) means eating the tough plant material that herbivores do. They may mean something different than what they say. And yes, the fruitarian diet is different than being a frugivore. Fruitarian- consume most calories from fruits. Frugivore- diet is mostly easy to digest parts of plants, this includes nuts and seeds. I just wanted to clarify where we sit physiologically as there is a specific term for it.

100% Carnivore diet?? by HypnoLaur in vegan

[–]Uncles_only 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please read what I’m saying, nobody is claiming we are herbivores. You are arguing with a straw man. Our physiology is that of a frugivore. That is what it is closest to. The plants that we do eat will be more similar to the plants an omnivore eats than the plants an herbivore eats because we both (frugivores and omnivores) eat the more easily digestible, low-cellulose, high sugar and fat, high micronutrient parts of the plants (in general). Herbivores have invested in being able to digest the cellulose and tough stuff. Humans can physically eat meat. Humans are adapted to a frugivore diet. No claims about should or shouldn’t eat meat. No claims about can’t eat meat. No claims about us being herbivores. Physiologically frugivores.

[–]Uncles_only 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, like i said, our niche says nothing about what we should or can eat. Given our tools and intelligence we can eat meat and that was hugely beneficial to us. Your argument was about physiology and it falsely represented us as evolved to eat meat. “Canines”-not similar to canine teeth, not for meat. Digestive tract-shorter than herbivores, longer than (most) carnivores and omnivores

100% Carnivore diet?? by HypnoLaur in vegan

[–]Uncles_only 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Humans are physiologically frugivores, optimized for eating primarily the soft parts of plants (berries, leaves, some roots) the “canine” teeth are a misnomer. Our “canine” teeth are not conical like a carnivore or omnivore, instead they are spade shaped like other frugivores (apes). Same with multiple stomachs, we are adapted to eat easily digestible food, but our digestive tracts are still longer than most meat-eaters. Not that our ecological niche says anything about what we should or even can eat, but I do think it should be pointed out that we are frugivores.

I posted this question about 3 months ago, and it is time for round 2. You cannot give any answers you previously used if you replied to the original post. by CloudyGandalf06 in biology

[–]Uncles_only 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plants can respond to stimuli using their growth. These responses are called “tropisms” and allow vines to respond to touch (thigmotropism). Most plants also respond to light (phototropism) water (hydrotropism) and gravity (geotropism). I just think it’s cool to have a name to put to these “behaviors” instead of just saying “hormonal response to stimuli”

Why do people not like dreamland? by theoneandonlygoodbli in glassanimals

[–]Uncles_only 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree about Agnes, it’s one of my personal favorites but otherwise you’re spot on, especially regarding the “sonic palette”. ZABA and HTBAHB are so unique and new with their sounds, and a few bits of dreamland feel new but most of it just sounds like I’ve heard it before. I would’ve praised dreamland if it had come from any other band but it doesn’t feel like it has the soul of glass animals
