veganism: Evolution does not but psychology and psychiatry does! Do not forget that in evolution things can take the wrong path as well as the good! Your mistake is in trying to justify your belief using a false premise!|||"I find it interesting that the American Dietetic Association recognizes the diet as nutritionally complete and healthful." Because it IS "nutritionally complete and healthful" when planned properly. Nothing says that humans have to be omnivorous; we just often are. In the past, particularly, humans in some areas ate little meat and were functionally and largely vegetarian. The diet of the ancient Romans was largely vegetarian. It's only with the rise of agribusiness and large meat-producing plants that (some) humans have started to eat a lot of meat. In any case, veganism and vegetarianism are completely healthy.|||Nothing in evolution says you can't be pretentious and difficult about your dietary choices to make you feel better about your shallow go-nowhere life. WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE VEGETABLES?|||Humans are omnivores, we EVOLVED that way. We can digest autotrophs and heterotrophs, which has an EVOLUTIONARY advantage, because we don't rely on one or the other to survive, we can eat both to suit our environment. Besides, humans live luxurious lives compared to other animals, so we can pick and choose what we want to eat. Veganism is a choice. Hope I satisfied that innocent curiosity of yours. Btw: How does Creationism explain Veganism?|||You assume it's because of evolution that vegans eat what they eat? It's more to do with an individuals view on it (and personal preferences, somewhat. I mean, most wouldn't really enjoy eating bugs, but some are edible). It's not like we can only ever do what we evolved to do.|||It doesn't have to. "I find it interesting that the American Dietetic Association recognizes the diet as nutritionally complete and healthful." Correction, the ADA recognizes that a WELL-PLANNED vegan diet CAN be nutrionally complete and healthful. Subtle but extremely significant difference.|||Non sequitur. Veganism is a workable diet when done with a civilisation providing the comforts and food supply comoared to having to spend hours a day foraging in the wild does not.|||The truth about veganism: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqqGZBRBL…|||Nutritionally complete if you substitute properly for an ordinary diet (often, vegan diets give insufficient protein). Don't see what this has to do with evolution...|||we evolved the ability to be able to choose what to eat to some degree, as long as our body is ok with it not sure why you find it intresting, if thats good or bad, but cool :-)|||No explanation necessary or desired. Vegan diets are nutritionally complete with plenty of protein. http://www.forksoverknives.com|||I don't think that's related to evolutionary pressures.|||It isn't that we love animals . We hate vegetables and want to see them suffer.|||How does god explain veganism?|||It doesn't. It's part of nutritional science.|||WOW you must have a Phd.... Edit: Enlighten us oh great one as to the wonders of creationism...|||it is, scientifically speaking of course|||Why does it have to?|||spiritually speaking if you believe evolution and you are not vegan then you are eating your kin|||I don't know, I'm atheist but find evolution...a crude explanation.
