We have to eat something!

We're just going to have to learn how to clone tasty, gooey, shapeless slabs of ... meat. Yes, really, that's what it is ... meat.

The actor Dennis Weaver was a fruit and nutarian from his 30s on; he lived to be 81. Interesting guy if you want to read the Wiki on him; Dennis Weaver

I mention this just because it shows what is possible - humans can thrive on a wide variety of diets, and our ancestors lived on everything from whale blubber and polar bear meat to potatoes and cod, to olives and tomatoes with small amounts of meat, to, if you go far enough back, a diet of grubs, roots and berries depending on the time of year.

I'm pretty sure high-meat diets were limited to a few times a year when the bison stampeded through, or a mastodon was taken down (a dangerous proposition, no doubt). I can imagine that knowing that your meal could fight back would make eating lower on the food chain a common choice.

Eating the way Westerners eat now, with factory farmed animals, is unsustainable; the massive amount of antibiotics needed to keep these animals from dying before they go to market proves it, and it's creating lots of new problems.

What if we decided as a species to eat simpler, so that everyone could eat?

Them lil squiggly inch worms seem to eat the plants just fine. Then they get eaten by the bird. The ones that survive and cocoon get eaten by the bats.

Who votes for bird and bat droppings on the menu?
It's just pre processed worm.

You don't have to torture hens to get eggs you fool. they drop out of their bums naturally. And since cows are female ,since when have females not liked their udders to be stroked.

Dennis Weaver lived to be 81 living on nuts and fruit? How silly of him. If he'd have eaten a few beefburgers or KFC he would have probably lived to be 100.

We need the food replicator. It just remolocularizes plain air. Star Trek FTW!

In all honesty , I was making fun of PETA , a group that doesn't believe that animals should be 'farmed' at all. They refer to the practice as 'torture'.
I eat meat and vegetables.
ETA: Being raised on a farm, I am familiar with the fact that cows bawl if you fail to milk them on time.

Coffee and tobacco, Slayer....coffee and tobacco. At least that is what my kids think I live on despite clearly eating before them once a day.

Crazy kids.

Since they keep them constantly pregnant to keep them lactating...plus they take their little ones right after Mom licks her lovingly a few times and put them on the menu.

PS not so sure females are enjoying things as much as you think.

I have a feeling a natural human diet is fruit and nuts and some grains, we do much better on simple but we always want more and we always get bored.

As long as you are not referring to Gareth's Bob-B-Que sauce then were alright.

Was just trying to help the people who have issues with the worms crying out in agony protesting their demise by introducing an all natural food processor to shield their delicate feelings as up and coming worm connoisseurs.

The eating of carrots is not the issue as I see it, it is the silent room. Carrots love fine music while getting crunched, no wonder they were heard complaining.

Earthworms are packed with protein.
If we get used to them the aliens can just cast lines out of their saucers.

Nah,
It's mean to use a worm to catch a fish.
You'd have to kill a lot more worms for the same amount of protein

So, we are eventually doomed to a apple and peanut omelets with cheese.

I was looking at keto diets.
I'm considering a nutritional supplement made of powdered moringa and coconut oil.
Full nutrition, medium chain goodness and it would look like soylent green.
I'm gonna start with spicy wasabi flavor.

Holy crap, I've got all that stuff.
I really should try it.
