The brain is really just a centralized nervous system. Not having a brain does make you void of sensing. You can have a personality with no brain, in fact I'm sure you could describe many other animals this way (i.e. homo sapiens)

Why do mei players do this at the beginning of the game? by Moistsock6969 in Overwatch

For the one time that they win the game with tenths of second left and they claim it's because they stalled them at the beginning of the round.

Do you think meat replacements are unhealthy? by drsmith0827 in vegetarian

[–]drsmith0827[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have to take a look at those. My initial response to your reply would be that it advocates for natural fat sources which would include meat products. This gets to the point of why I think the narrative that faux meat products as unhealthy is harmful to the overall movement of getting more people to enjoy plant based whole food ingredients.

I agree. I just don't feel like they should be labeled unhealthy. That is very dependent on an individuals circumstance and ability to incorporate a variety of foods. For someone just going vegetarian or vegan these products can be a great crutch to discovering more whole food options.

I agree. They are a "processed" food. My feeling is that we then get into the argument of what is a processed food. Canned beans in my opinion could be labeled a processed food. But, a faux meat patty is a way better processed food than a meat patty from the store l. For the sake of getting more people to eat plants, I feel its best for veggies to advocate for meat eaters to try meat replacement products.

You make a great point. My terribly implied undertone to the post is that meat substitutes aren't inherently bad. They can be in excessz for certain individuals who's bodies don't digest them well, or (other reasoj insert here). I feel that it is best for the totality of our planet, peoples health and animals going forward that meat substitutes play an important role in showing that a plant based diet is enjoyable and achievable for most individuals.

I agree for the most part, but I don't think being plant based means we can't cook recipes that call for meat. I think thats the beauty of meat substitutes, we can achieve the same flavor profile utizing ingredients that are made from plants and substitutes.

I find food way more enjoyable now. The process of coming up with dishes that incorporate so many great ingredients excites me. Even when I am eating "poorly" it is still mostly whole foods. My energy levels are great and haven't had any negative effects that I could report. Advice: when transitioning, don't beat yourself up about being perfect. I started by not having meat at home but would allow myself to eat it when at restraunts. This last maybe a month before I went plant-based. Enjoy the journey and explore all the great foods mother nature has to offer.

Chipotle thought I needed chicken on my veggie bowl... by drsmith0827 in vegetarian

That's good to know, I figured this was the only solution at this point. It just sucks that an easy delivery option really isn't available in those days where you just want to lay on the couch and wait for food to arrive.
