Chicken Fat May Crash Your Car

Mike I don't know what makes it to them but rice rice and corn will starve you to death. Beans and rice is much better but without dietary supplements same deal just slower. When you see those kids with the big bellies and the tiny limbs they may be suffering from caloric starvation marasmus but are often suffering kwashiorkor or protein starvation. The belly protrusion is ascites or fluid in the perotoneal cavity from low blood proteins namely albumin. We see this in people with liver failure who can't make albumin any more. They don't get to eat a variety of foods that is sort of what defines them as starving. I suppose they could head down the the grocery store for some tofurkey or boca burgers but they don't have them. If they had cats or dogs or rats or monkeys or bugs they would eat them. I've never seen road kill in a developing country. Sending them goats and cows may not be the answer I don't really know what is but I know that to them protein is more precious than gold and goats and cows have mastered turning bushes and grass into protein. We have not.

Christopher Do you really think all the food sent to starving people actually gets to them. I would say calories are a big issue. If you eat a variety of foods that may not be possible for them and sufficient calories you can't help but get your daily requirements of macro and micronutrients.

Let me add a bit to my last post. Strict vegans should probably multiply their protein requirements x 1.25. If you require 60 grams of protein a day then ingest 75 grams of plant protein. If you eat sufficient calories and a varied diet you don't have to put too fine a point on it. Beans nuts seeds and tofu are all proteinrich. Human mother's milk is just 5 protein and this is at a time of rapid growth.

to Kurt K and Christopher Cochran i'm always happy to see someone making a real effort and i think that as you are visiting this blog frequently we should find a special possibility also for 'not very advanced' ''animalprotectors'' to ad their capabilities! so if you are eating meat it would be great to stand up for humane slaughter methods! i'm not in america and i don't know the situation over there but for example in switzerland we have special organizations with socalled ecofriendly farms and controlled slaughter in order to avoid the most horrible pains for the animals! also in bayern germany they got a socalled moving slaughterhouse which is driven directly out in the fields and the animals are killed there for to avoid the stress of transportation the first foreign people who adopted that method were native americans for their buffaloes and so the moving slaughterhouse went to america! i know that we cannot convince the whole world to go vegetarian for this i think that the nonvegetarians should do everything possible in helping us in the hereup explained problem! and we should stop to reproach each other that we prefer humans or animals because even if i'm an avid animal rights fighter i'm in the meantime fighting for the human rights like for example this horrible case in saudi arabia where a raped woman was condemned to 200 lashes and prison and darfur tibet palestine and and and... this world is not free because their is too much greed and mean profit thinking so we need a strong heart for the two for our twolegged brothers and our furry brothers otherwise we are just turning around without any results and effects! so humane slaughtermethods this is the thing where nonveg people can help us! so i'm looking forward to something creative and positive!

Cappuccino Trust me when I say I think the poaching of animals is very upsetting to me. I am all for prtecting animals that have no value to humans other than trophies. However I believe there are some animals put on this earth for the reason of consumption. Having said that I beleive the abuse of domesticated animals is appualing and uncalled for. As far as getting me to convert to a vegitarian I don't think there will ever be a chance of that. I enjoy to many meals to ever convert. But thanks for the offers.
