Books/Just Curious
Has anyone read Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser, The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, or Sunfood Living by John McCabe? I just thought I would ask because I am interested in what people thought/think about one or all of these books. Also curious if people went vegetarian/vegan out of concern for animals or if you read the above books or if it was something else?The SaladMander's Page at GITMR.

Hi SaladMander (love your name)!
You asked about eating insects. Yes, I eat insects :D . Mostly ants, sometimes grubs. Some insects are poisonous, I avoid those. I don't eat insects in the winter because I can't get them . . . it's too cold and sn...
great quote!!
hey! I don't know any dentist unfortunately.
It doesn't really hurt, I'm being careful. I think I'd rather wait till I get back, but I still am open if you guys can lead me to a good biological dentist for tomorrow.
Profile Information
- About Me:
- Presently I am partially raw (all vegan), past I was all raw vegan (for a time)
- How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
- I know this might seem like spam and I do admit I will be benefiting from all this however that's not the only reason I felt compelled to share it I also thought of how all of you can turn around and do the same thing I did after signing up under my referral ID. I just found this awesome site that gives you either an iPhone 3G 16GB or $580 if you sign up for one of their sponsored offers and then have 11 people do the same with you as their referrer (giving your referral number when they sign up). All's they'd have to do is sign up for one of the sponsored offers just like you did. The best part is that although you have to sign up for the sponsored offer with your credit card you're allowed to cancel the service before the end of it's trial period as long as you put off canceling the service until the last minute. How long you have to stick with the sponsored offer varies from service to service but I'm pretty sure none of them make you stay on past the trial period I think they make their money off of those who forget to cancel on time. If you think about it as long as you cancel on time it's a $580/iPhone-3G-16GB free for all. Here's the link with my ID already in it YourFreeiPhone.com

You asked about eating insects. Yes, I eat insects :D . Mostly ants, sometimes grubs. Some insects are poisonous, I avoid those. I don't eat insects in the winter because I can't get them . . . it's too cold and snowy here. So it's a seasonal thing.
I like eating insects because it is a great way to get animal foods for protein, zinc and vitamin B12 without factory farming and environmental degradation. Actually, foraging for wild insects is probably the most environmentally friendly way to eat. Also, insects are a wild food, so they are much higher in minerals and "intelligence," so to speak, than farmed food. The great apes, which are the most similar species to us anatomically speaking, eat a high percentage of insects in their diet, up to 1/5 of their food as insects. So I think it is very natural for humans to eat insects and they seem to digest very easily, at least in my experience.

I would not call this instict. I expect this behaviour is part of chimp culture, i.e. passed on from the older generation to the younger by example.
Those tribes that don't exhibit dentistry probably reproduce less well.
That's right, but I don't think this is an inherited trait. I believe it is a developmental problem.
In Weston Price's book, dental abnormalities occurred on the first generation exposed to processed Western foods.
and wouldn't it be funny if by waiting to see this feminine levitation that it turned out that the concept of ground underneath, and its spatial relation to the universe in general, was a completely fictional creation? I mean...just sayin' ya know...
Thank you, that at least is telling the truth
