There's a reason the media is always promoting vegetarian diets. It keeps the hospitals full of people...

I don't believe that is true. I've been much healthier since stopping eating meat. I do still eat fish though. I do believe however that veganism is heavily promoted because of profits made from fields full of soy etc. Most things are promoted purely for profit.

If you research the issue you will at some point conclude that ruminant or other large animals are the natural human food and what people outside insane modern culture gravitate to when given a chance. The difference between humans and other carnivores is that we are designed to be consummate survivors or long fasts and eating crappy food. The process of domesticating us is keeping us perpetually in this starvation and crap food mode. If you have any sense you want to just eat unprocessed meat.

Fish is a healthy source of protein, except you have to watch out for the mercury. Nothing is healthy anymore because the earth is being poisoned by the machine. Particularly in America, the processed food industry is turning everyone into a fat slob.

Yes, I agree. I was once visiting Scotland and went on this boat tour around the coast where they showed us some birds of prey nesting along the cliff. They also swung by a salmon farm. The guy said whilst the salmon are there they sometimes get infected with parasites and so they have to put bleach in the water to kill the parasite.

So when we eat farmed salmon there's a chance it could be infested with parasites or soaked in bleach. I don't think anything we eat at all is safe from some kind of unwanted additive. Even most of our fruits and vegetables are sprayed with pesticides or GMO or frozen on import, which causes the nutrients to breakdown or whatever.

I don't understand why we can't grow vegetables and fruits in hydroponic food towers, each floor set to the perfect temperature for growing a particular fruit or vegetable. Then we wouldn't need pesticides or need to import from over seas, right?
