Speciesism Is Senseless

If you are a vegan, I must ask, “How many times, have you been asked the question: ‘Where do you get your protein?’ ” Now, allow me to answer that question, on behalf of the… vegan-majority: “A lot.” I hear…… frequently…… from vegans, that carnivores…… frequently…… suspect vegans, of: “being protein deficient.” It is not an absurd question, given how important proteins are, to humans. What is absurd, however, is: getting protein, by eating …animals.

Therefore, I will put the shoe on the other foot… the question, on the other ear: “Carnivore, how do you get protein?” Obviously, your response will be: “I eat animals. ” Let’s talk about that. Firstly, I cannot deny that… “most people on this planet, are surviving, for decades, by eating the flesh of animals. ” The problem is: animals cannot “hand that over” so easily, as they could hand over, a scissored …lock of hair.

Plants are an excellent source of: perfectly life-sustaining protein, and all else that we need, to be healthy & strong. Standing in the grape arbor, one can take a grape off the vine, by simply kissing it into your mouth… “look mom, no hands. ” Step into the garden, to the row of green-beans; snap one off and… eat it… right there, right then. How convenient it is.

I do believe that most muscle-eaters are “carnivores of convenience” …because someone else is handling the bloody inconveniences of: slaughter & clean-up. If every person became personally-responsible for obtaining their own “meat” for food… from this point in time… then, the world would become predominantly vegan ……………………………………………now.

Consider, that humans descended to modern times, from ancient times. In ‘ancient times:’ food was “not got” with… …gun-powder; electricity; nor the industrial-revolution. Bare-hands… preceded metal blades… by history.

Do you like lion-meat… how about that buffalo over there… the shark in the bay………………?………………… not so convenient. And who is going to clean up the bloody mess… oh yes… you must have a butcher, who can ‘rinse & wrap’ …clean & tidy. So, we are back to …convenience.

The human conscience… deserves mention, here. Remember, we are role playing you, carnivore, as selfresponsible for your own food-carcasses. That baby-monkey which you are boiling, was nursing, on mother’s milk, at her breast… the same breast which lies just outside the mother’s beating heart… and just below the heart, is the womb, where the mother carried that baby, prior to giving birth. That young monkey playing alone, in that tree yonder, would have a sibling to play with, if you were not cooking it. You may say, “If not I, some lion would have taken it. ” Fine, let the lion be nature’s emblem of “the savage” ...and you, with the elevated human mind, can be the more civilized one.

Human health…………?............ where do you get your health: …………plants; or, animals.

I doubt you will accept statistical scientific claims, here. I would not, either. I would do my own research. So, perhaps I can inspire you to, look around……… ………the survival of all animals… on this planet… is based upon “PLANTS that are ………edible for animals. ” Imagine that all, such, edible-plants have suddenly become extinct, (due to some unexplainable circumstance). Let us fast-forward the calendar… by a few months… to some point in time, when… all grazing-animals have died, because all grass …died. Eventually, all the fallen flesh of that wild game, will be gone: having been eaten by carnivorous animals, and\or decayed, then dissolved into the ground.

Now, only carnivorous-animals remain. Naturally, they will begin eating each other, or they will starve. Either way, the carnivorous population of animals will, also, become extinct… because animals will be eaten, at a faster pace, than the birth-rate of those animals.

This same circumstance will occur in the ocean, lakes and rivers. Since aquatic-plants have succumbed to extinction by the same anomaly. Vegetarian-fish will die, from lack of plant-food; and, carnivorous fish will eat each other………………… …to extinction.

All plants, as well as animals, that were eaten as food, by humans, are, now… dead and gone.

Here is an interesting conundrum. Humans, having lasted until now, on stored-food (frozen, canned, dehydrated, etc.) have consumed everything… except each other. Will humans eat humans, eking out a “living” …for a short time. Or, will they… give it up… and fade away? Either way, this scenario ends, with humanity becoming …extinct.

Now let us reverse, this scenario.

Earth is inhabited by -only- plants. There are no animals on earth (humans are animals, so humans, too, are extinct). Plants are the only biological specimens, “alive. ” Since any organic matter (such as, fallen: leaves; flowers; fruits; branches; bark; etc.) laid at the base-trunk of a land plant, becomes “root food” for that plant… plants will continue to …thrive.

When plants become extinct, all biology becomes extinct.

When animals become extinct, plants continue to thrive.

What does this prove?

I am not claiming any …proof. The point: (a.) There is a hierarchy\’pecking order’ to the… ANIMAL-food-chain… on this planet, and “plants” seem to be the “base” of it. Furthermore, (b.) imagine Earth… alive with plants …where the only animal inhabitants are ………human. Will the humans be …vegan? Or, will they eat humanflesh? Humanity certainly qualifies: as a species capable of living supremely …on plants. Beans are a single complete protein-source, also containing: dietary-fiber; fatty-acids; calorie-energy (and more, such as: vitamins; minerals; etc.). If the human-race has beans, it will be well fed, and will have foodpotential with which to thrive, …according to that human-race’s, level of intellect. Humans cannot survive, by eating… only… animal-flesh. Animal flesh contains no dietary-fiber. Only true carnivores (such as lions), can survive, without dietary-fiber (per their digestive system). Humans, who eat animals, must eat fiber, also (“omnivore,” is the term given to animals… who eat, both, plants and animals).

Without fiber, a human-being will succumb to… all-cause-mortality… death by the vulnerability, that is nearest to the body.

Doctors and dieticians estimate that: only about 5% of Americans meet the recommendations for daily fiber intake.

Statistical medical information, is something that I cannot………… prove …………here. In fact, what can be proven, here, is …………nothing. If you do not care about… Earth-health… human-health… your-health………… if you have no feeling of mercy for animals… will you really be interested in hearing about… trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO)?

The obvious fact that plants are the basis for all biological life, on Earth: is, nevertheless, ………no proof whatsoever……… that you should eat plants. No one is going to… prove… anything, for you. You must find: your own “reasonable mind;” your own feelings of pity… for the pitiable.

For those who are interested in… trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO)… and other such, here is some additional information:

First, we all know that we need protein as it is critical for our muscles, nails, hair and collagen, the connector tissue protein that holds our body together. Protein also is needed by our brain (neurotransmitters), hormones, DNA, red blood cells, and to help us retain a strong immune system. Get my gist…. protein is important.

On the average men need 56 grams of protein daily and women 46 grams. Of course, this will vary with certain conditions such as: trying to build muscle, challenging physical work, athletic endeavors, pregnancy, etc.
