Buzz: Manny Malhotra Wants To Keep Playing Hockey
In The Province, Jim Jamieson writes that former Rangers first round pick and Canucks center Manny Malhotra wants to continue his NHL career after Vancouver GM Mike Gillis shut him down after nine games last season.
Malhotra didn't agree with the decision by Gillis to shut him down and now Malhotra is looking for another opportunity to play in the NHL.
Gillis shut down Malhotra because he feared for his safety in response to the eye injury he suffered in March 2011.
Following his eye injury, Alain Vigneault continued to use Malhotra as a top faceoff person and PK specialist.
Malhotra told the NY Times in March, "It's Mike's views and Mike's decisions that he didn't feel I was safe out on the ice. I don't agree with that."
Gillis said that it was unsafe for Malhotra to play with the damaged vision he has, but Malhotra says that he has adjusted and that doctors say his vision is getting sharper.
Malhotra was:
- 63% on faceoffs in his nine games last season
- 58.5% in 2011-12
- 61.7% in 10-11
- 62.5% with SJ in 09-10
Adam Rotter: I'm not sure what his relationship with Alain Vigneault is, but he has a history with the Rangers and would provide another layer of depth that the team doesn't have. Malhotra could be a fourth line center, kill penalties and take important faceoffs. He would be perfect for a training camp tryout, but someone may offer him an NHL contract for a low number or something around the league minimum, just to take a chance on him.

By C.J. McMANUSSun Advocate associate editor
Rain and wet roads may have led to a collision which claimed the life of one and injured two Thursday afternoon on U.S. Highway 6 near the Carbon-Emery county border.
According to Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. John Kelly, the crash, which occurred near mile marker 264 at about 3 p.m. killed Jack Le Roy Seiber, 22, of Blackfoot, Idaho. Three other individuals were transported to Castleview Hospital following the collision, two of which sustained abrasions and possible broken bones, according to public safety dispatch reports.
According to a UHP press release, a green Toyota 4Runner was traveling east on highway 6 during a heavy rainstorm. The vehicle allegedly lost control and spun into the westbound lane where a red Ford Escort being driven by Seiber was traveling. The Toyota struck Seiber's vehicle directly in the driver's side door, sending it into an embankment on the side of the road.
The 4Runner's driver, was not injured, but all three occupants of the of the Toyota were transported via ambulance to Castleview with non-life threatening injuries.
"No drugs or alcohol were apparent and all airbags deployed," said a Utah Highway Patrol release. "It appears a sudden heavy downpour and not a general condition (occurred)."
At the scene, UHP Sgt. Kelly noted that wet roads and heavy rain were being investigated as a cause for the crash and that one of the vehicles could have hydroplaned.
The highway was shut down for a short period for landing a helicopter, which was called in as officials tried to deal with the severity of Seiber's injuries. When he was pronounced dead by emergency medical personnel, the chopper returned to the hospital to allow an investigation to begin.
Traffic along both lanes of U.S. 6 were impacted for more than three hours as public safety crews worked to transport the accident victims, investigate the collision and clear the highway.
Check Tuesday's edition of the Sun Advocate for more details as they are made available.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Expect a heightened focus on revenue and corporate capital expenditure spending as earnings season reaches its midpoint this week.
Last week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.20% finished up 1.1%, the S&P 500 Index SPX, +0.07% gained 0.9% to finish at a new record close of 1,759.77, and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.41% advanced 0.7% after a peak earnings week.
On the surface, results from the biggest U.S. companies appear relatively strong, and that's helped support stock gains.

With nearly half the S&P 500 and more than two-thirds of the Dow industrials having already reported quarterly results, the current earnings season is looking to be the best of the year in terms of how companies are beating expectations. And S&P 500 earnings are on their way to setting a new record high.
"What's occurring is that U.S. corporations are benefitting from being the best house in a bad neighborhood," said Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets. Much of that has to do with corporate America stripping away costs in a challenging global revenue environment, Belski said.
A wave of earnings beats last week significantly bumped up the percent of companies topping forecasts. After this past week, 75% of S&P 500 companies have topped the earnings consensus this season, compared with the four-year average of 73%, according to John Butters, senior earnings analyst at FactSet. Prior to last week's reports, the earnings beat rate had been running at 69%.
This will be a "Dow-a-day" week of quarterly results with Merck & Co. MRK, -0.14% on Monday, Pfizer Inc. PFE, +0.45% on Tuesday, Visa Inc. V, +0.11% on Wednesday, Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM, -0.96% on Thursday, and Chevron Corp. CVX, -0.38% on Friday.
The Next 24: Apple, Facebook, and the Fed
Apple and LinkedIn prepare to release earnings reports. The Federal Reserve's two-day meeting ends on Wednesday with a policy statement. The Container Store prepares an IPO. Laura Mandaro has everything you need to know about the week ahead in the markets.
Plus, more than 120 companies on the S&P 500 report next week with notable releases from Apple Inc. AAPL, +2.39% and Biogen Idec Inc. BIIB, -3.83% on Monday; Gilead Sciences Inc. GILD, -0.16% and Allergan Inc. AGN, -0.48% on Tuesday; Starbucks Corp. SBUX, +1.03% , General Motors Co. GM, -1.44% and Comcast Corp. CMCSA, -0.80% on Wednesday; along with MasterCard Inc. MA, -0.05% and ConocoPhillips COP, -0.32% on Thursday.
And Nasdaq stock Facebook Inc. FB, +0.83% reports Wednesday.
Easier to beat
Some strategists, however, are less than impressed with earnings. Earnings beats have become a less significant metric because the results compare with lowered expectations. In late June, analysts on average forecast earnings-per-share growth for the third quarter would be around 6% year-over-year. By the time earnings season started, they had trimmed that growth outlook to less than 1%. The beats don't "seem to be all that clean," said Tobias Levkovich, chief U.S. strategist at Citi Research, in a recent note.
"Moreover, a good number [of companies] have made or topped forecasts on lower than expected tax rates or one-time items, suggesting that results were not necessarily comprised of high quality beats," Levkovich noted. "Accordingly, it is challenging to argue that the reporting season has been all that good when some detailed insight is applied."
Also, corporations giving outlooks for the fourth quarter continue to be negative, which places pressure on analysts to lower their estimates. About 86% of fourth-quarter earnings outlooks (49 out of 57 companies on the S&P 500) have been negative, meaning the forecast falls below the current Wall Street consensus, according to Butters. Over the past five years, on average, about 63% of companies giving a quarterly earnings outlook provided one that's below the consensus.

Even in Paris there are plenty of bistros that serve competent classics that fall short of memorable. La Goulue, which has been on the Upper East Side since 1973, is like one of these placesadequate but unexciting. Yet it has endured because it continues to fill a niche: competent food in a gracious and authentic French setting. The bistro fare goes beyond steak and moules frites but it doesn't tantalize. Coquilles St. Jacques, or scallops, are seared to a perfect brown crust on the outside and are sweet and tender inside, and they're served with a tomato confit tart. Grilled sardines are fresh and crispy, but lack in seasoning. Still, you can't beat the place for charm: outdoor wicker chairs, brown leather banquettes, and brass railings provide a respite for weary Madison Avenue shoppers, or those who enjoy watching the hustle-bustle tourist-shoppers barrel up the street while they sit back and suck down a glass of red wine or an ice cold vodka martini.Recommended Dishes

Here EP-Nuffic staff and external experts provide background information on current events and analyse ongoing developments in international higher education.
International learning outcomes part I
Learning outcomes related to internationalisation are becoming more and more important, not least because they are gaining importance in accreditation processes. Learning outcomes describe what a learner is expected to know, understand and be able to do at the end of a period of learning (Bologna follow up group, 2005), for instance an internship abroad.
Survey shows: Erasmus programme benefits teachers, students and universities
Participation in the European Lifelong Learning programme is enriching, valuable and inspiring. That can be concluded from the results of a web survey carried out by the Dutch National Agency for the Lifelong Learning programme among participants of the programmes Comenius, Grundtvig, Leonardo da Vinci and Erasmus. In this blog we focus on the results for the Erasmus programme.
Talent and Attraction: Competing for the best
In 2012 Nuffic published the International student recruitment: policies and developments in selected countries report on strategies and instruments on international student recruitment. 25 countries were analysed and reviewed. An annex to this report has now been published focusing on three Nordic countries: Sweden, Norway and Finland.
Creating an international learning community
From 11-13 April the third international Integrating Content and Language in Higher Education (ICLHE) conference was held at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands. The conference reflected the growing research interest in how the integration of discipline-specific content and learning through another language is achieved in practice.
Getting insight into training needs in the South: Comparing NFP TMT and Short Course Programmes
What does an analysis of TMT programme themes, in relation to NFP short course themes, tell us about the actual training needs in partner countries in the South?
Tailor-made Training: Huge returns on investment
In our previous blog last Wednesday, we unpacked the key characteristics of the Tailor-made training modality. In the present blog we discuss cost effectiveness of the programme and how Nuffic is balancing this against the rising interest in the programme.
Tailor-made Training: A very effective capacity building instrument
Nuffic's Tailor-made Training (TMT) programme is fast, flexible, responsive, relevant, demand-driven and target-oriented. In this blog, we unpack these adjectives of acclamation to illustrate just what it is that distinguishes this modality of capacity building.
Erasmus on budget – will there be funding?
Early this fall it became clear that the Erasmus student mobility grant is underfunded. This is due to earlier shortages in the EU budget and a lower budget for 2012 than the European Commission asked for in the negotiations with the European Parliament and member states. Overall, the European Commission needs € 9 billion euros extra for their 2012 expenditures, of which € 90 million is needed to comply with the agreements made for the Erasmus programme.
What international alumni appreciate about study and life in Holland
Nuffic conducted a study on what Holland Alumni from the countries where a Neso office is located, appreciated about their study and life in the Netherlands. What do the results tell us in relation to the potential to successfully attract and bind international alumni for the Dutch labour market?
The Value of an International Degree: Matching Expectations on Career Prospects to Reality
Nuffic recently conducted a study on the effect of a Dutch degree on the career prospects of alumni from Neso countries. What do the results tell us?
Online media crucial in study abroad communication?
Young people increasingly find information on education online. But is that also the case for study abroad options? Most literature is focussed on the use of online media in the recruitment for full degree programmes. In this blog we will discuss the use of online media to stimulate (short term) outgoing mobility.
The scramble for international alumni: Towards balanced benefits
Should students from developing countries, who are studying in developed countries, return home upon graduation to contribute to the development of their own economies? Or is it okay for their developed host countries to actively poach and retain them for the good of their own labour markets?
Internationalisation appears to be good for the economy. Let's increase its quality.
The Dutch economy benefits from the internationalisation of higher education. At least, that is what is presented as one of the careful conclusions of the report by the CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis, recently published on the request of the State Secretary for Education. The report examines whether the internationalisation of Dutch higher education is indeed as beneficial for the Dutch economy as we all expect.
International student mobility: European, Dutch and institutional policies
On 5 June, the Dutch National Agency for Lifelong Learning organised a well-attended conference to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Erasmus programme. And where better to celebrate this than in Rotterdam, Erasmus' own city!
Four steps to creating sustainable academic partnerships
Are you considering collaborating with one or more higher education partners to add value to your institution? In our rapidly changing global society, HEIs need academic partners to exchange people, ideas and methods, and institutional partnerships have become big business. But how do you create partnerships which are truly sustainable? In this blog, Nico Evers and Jenneke Lokhoff provide you with some essential tips based on the recommendations of experts involved in European-Asian partnerships.
Gender in Dutch international capacity development programmes: scholarships
This is Part 1 of a two-part blog summarising the lessons that Nuffic has learned with regard to mainstreaming gender in three key programmes of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Part 1 focuses on the scholarship-based programme NFP while Part 2 focuses on the project-based programmes NPT and NICHE.
Internationalisation in support of teaching staff
For once, let's talk about staff and internationalisation without looking at staff mobility. If only because the majority of teaching staff are, in fact, non-mobile and they constitute a considerable group of professionals in any country.
Heading in the same direction?
Within Europe, national policies on international student mobility are influenced by European-level policies, developed by the European Commission or in the framework of the Bologna Process. Does this mean that national policies on student mobility in Europe are converging? And if so, in which ways?
Student mobility to the Netherlands, compared with other EU countries
In an earlier blog I referred to Dutch students studying abroad. The same OECD data also allow for comparison between countries regarding student inflows, or better, regarding foreign students registering in the country.
Dutch students abroad in the academic year 2008-09
The most recent data on Dutch students registering in other countries for study (diploma mobility), reveal a further growth of the number of students studying abroad.

After months of waiting, SEGA has finally given us the answers which we have sought ever since they uttered the words "Project Needlemouse." Last night, GameSpot debuted the following trailer from SEGA: It appears that the rumors were indeed true: Project Needlemouse is indeed Sonic the Hedgehog 4, and it is episodic content in the fashion seen with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles (and, one might suppose, Sonic 2). And fortunately, the rumblings that it would only be available on the PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade were not true; Sonic 4 is coming to WiiWare as well. Read More
Just as he had in his golden years across many a field and mountain, Sonic has found himself running downhill at a steady pace in recent years. Only instead of him actually running down the slopes and corkscrews of his world, it was his games that were going downhill. This arguably peaked in 2006, when the would-be series reboot Sonic the Hedgehog was released. Characters with awkward proportions, a complicated storyline featuring romance between a human princess and the blue blur himself, and worst of all, frustrating gameplay did little to gain the favor of anyone but the hardest of hardcore fans. Of this period in time, Sean Ratcliffe, VP of Marketing for SEGA of America, admit to GameDaily that at the time, the criticism was "warranted," but that SEGA was concerned, spending "a lot of time and effort...discussing how we develop Sonic." Then came Sonic Unleashed. Read More

Budget cuts have pared Orange Coast College baseball coach John Altobelli's staff to the point that he is sometimes the only non-player in uniform at a Pirates' practice.
But if he is looking for familiar companionship in his 21st season at the OCC helm, the 2012 Orange Empire Conference Coach of the Year may have only his four remaining veteran assistant coaches with whom to turn.
That is because the wave of success that included the Pirates' first outright OEC title since 1987, a 37-7-1 record that forged the program's best winning percentage since 1957, and a trip to the four-team state championship tournament in 2012, also washed away all but four roster holdovers.
Five of last year's players went on to the professional ranks, while more than a handful of others are now competing at four-year college programs.
In addition to an appreciative nostalgia about last year, in which OCC held the No. 1 ranking in one national poll for most of the season, the personnel void creates confusion about this year's lineup, let alone the team's overall prospects in a 2013 season that begins Friday at Cuesta College.
"It's a whole new group and it has been interesting, to say the least, trying to get that trust going on," said Altobelli, who was also named the Orange Empire Conference Male Coach of the Year for all sports in 2011-12. "These guys are testing me and I'm testing them. Hopefully, they will figure it out sooner than later."
Altobelli identifies pitching as the key to success this season and while Dallas Draveczki is the only returner from last year's mound corps, Altobelli said he believes the Pirates boast superior pitching depth to a staff that crafted a cumulative 1.87 earned-run average last spring.
"Last year we had four or five really quality guys, then we had a big drop-off," Altobelli said. "This year, we have depth."
Draviczki was 2-0 with a 1.42 ERA in 31 2/3 innings as a freshman, when he made six starts and nine appearances. He is slated to be the No. 3 starter this season, as Hawaii bounce-back Kyle Dowdy and Evan Porcella, a freshman out of El Modena High, open the season as Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, Altobelli said.
Draviczki (6-foot-2, 200 pounds) and Dowdy (6-2, 220) are typical specimens on a pitching staff that averages nearly 6-3 and has seven players who weigh more than 200 pounds.
"We look good in the uniform getting off the bus," Altobelli said with a smile. "I know size doesn't really matter in baseball, but I think it helps a little bit."
Altobelli said David Longville, a 6-3, 220-pound sophomore bounce-back from Hawaii, sophomore Vanguard University transfer Spencer Moran, freshman lefty Jason Broussard (6-4, 215) and freshman Sean Leary (6-3, 215) are additional options on the bump.
Garrett Hartwell (6-4, 195), who played at OCC in 2011, adds left-handed punch to fellow southpaws Porcella and Broussard, while Brian Bass (6-4, 190), a freshman who redshirted last season at Saddleback College, is a side-arming reliever who just might give hitters fits.
Hartwell was 3-0 with a 4.50 ERA in 20 innings in 2011, while sophomore Cory Davis (2-0 with a 3.00 ERA in 18 innings in 2011) has also returned.
Moran was 1-2 with an 8.78 ERA in 13 1/3 innings at Vanguard last season, while Leary pitched just one inning at Pepperdine in 2012.
Altobelli also mentioned freshman Joe Reta and freshman two-way player Jacob Hill as others who could contribute from the rubber.
"If we want to be successful, we have to keep the [opponents'] runs down, because I don't know how many runs we're going to score," said Altobelli, whose team hit .302 and averaged nearly seven runs per game last season.
Danny Jiminez, a sophomore transfer from Irvine Valley College, is the most proven offensive commodity in the infield. The starting first baseman hit .302 with one home run, 18 runs batted in and 12 extra-base hits as a freshman for the Lasers. Altobelli said Jiminez, who posted a .986 fielding percentage in 2012, is also valuable with the glove.
Sophomores Ricky Navarro and Manny Argomaniz, both returners, are set to open at second base and shortstop, respectively. Navarro hit .184 with two RBIs in 38 at-bats last season, while Argomaniz hit .208 with three RBIs in 24 at-bats.
Andrew Alvarez, a sophomore transfer from Pepperdine, was slated to start at third base, but a nagging ailment in his throwing shoulder threatens to sideline him for the season, Altobelli said. With Alvarez unable to throw the ball across the diamond, Altobelli said he will turn to freshman Anthony Virgen at the hot corner.

|1. What work does Montgomery County Building Regulations Division regulate?
One, Two and Three Family Dwellings and their accessory structures, commonly referred to as "Residential Construction": Per local resolution, Montgomery County regulates new construction, additions, and alterations of these dwellings and their accessory structures, including work such as finishing basements, converting garages to living spaces, and deck construction. Enforcement extends to both structural and non-structural construction, and includes mechanical and electrical work as well.
|2. Is any construction exempt from building permits?
Maintenance and repairs may be made without building permits, but such repairs cannot include any structural work, mechanical or electrical work, or construction or removal of non-structural walls or partitions. Permits are not required for cosmetic changes such as painting or carpeting, but such work must still comply with applicable codes, such as not exceeding applicable flame spread requirements. Refer to RCO R105.2
Some work is exempt from local code enforcement, such as state or federal projects built on state or federally owned land, used for governmental purposes. In those cases, the state or federal government oversees code compliance. Other buildings such as those used for agricultural purposes are also exempt. If you have questions about whether your project is exempt, be sure to check with the building department before proceeding. Refer to OBC Section 101.2 and 105.2.
Certain minor residential construction has been deemed exempt from building permits, such as single story detached sheds that do not exceed 200 square feet in floor area.
|3. What do I need to submit in order to get a permit?
Residential permit applications must include two copies of drawings that describe the proposed work and how it will meet applicable code requirements, along with a completed application. Submittal requirements are described in more detail on the back of the Residential Application Form. Upon approval of a permit, we will return one set with approval marks and notes, and keep one set on file in our offices. Refer to back of Residential Permit Application for more detailed information.
|4. How long does it take to get a permit?
Most Residential Permits are processed within three to five working days after receiving enough information to do a plan review.
When submittals are found to be deficient, either because the submittal is incomplete or the work proposed is code deficient, the applicant is notified of the need to submit additional or corrected information, and the "turn around clock" stops until a response is received. Time spent waiting for such responses is not counted against turn around goals.
|5.Can I get a partial permit to get construction started more quickly?
A variety of Partial Permits are available to expedite construction. The most common is the issuance of a Footing/Foundation Permit which is processed in one to three days. Footing/Foundation permits are not available for residential additions or accessory buildings. Again, see the back of the application forms for submittal information.
Some over the counter permits are available for Electric Permits, Gas Piping Permits, Residential Mechanical Permits, and Demolition Permits. Also, Residential Footing/Foundation Permits are available on a same day basis for new homes, with proper information being provided.
|6. Once I obtain a permit, what inspections do are required?
Both Commercial and Residential work must have rough inspections of construction progress before work is covered up, and final inspections after work is complete. Typically all sub trade inspections such as electrical and mechanical must be approved before the main permit (general construction) inspection will be done. Approved plans must be on the jobsite for each inspection. Refer to the Commercial Inspection Checklist or Residential Inspection Checklist for more detailed information.
Note: Footings, Slabs, and Gas or Electric Trenches must be inspected before concrete is poured or backfill material is placed.
|7. What are your local climatic design criteria for structural design?
Residential Criteria:
|8. What do I need to apply for a building permit for a small shed?
Detached sheds more than 200 square feet require a building permit and a foundation similar to a house, garage or post and frame building (pole barn). Detached sheds between 200 square feet and 400 square feet may have footings only extending 12" below grade.
|9. What do I need to apply for a building permit for a detached garage?
All garages require a building Permit.
11 Back to Top
|10. What do I need to apply for a building permit for a deck?
All elevated decks and all patio covers requires a building permit.
|11. What do I need to apply for a building permit for a swimming pool?
All residential swimming pool for one, two and three family dwellings, above ground and below ground requires an electrical permit permit only. We no longer issue building permits for these projects.
|12. What do I need to apply for a building permit for a Post and frame building?
Post and frame buildings Require a Building permit.
|13. What do I need to apply for a building permit for a Room addition?
All room additions require a building permit.
|14. What do I need to apply for a building permit for a New One, Two or Three Family Dwelling?
All new dwellings require a building permit.
|15. What do I need to apply for a building permit for a New Manufactured Home?
Building permits for the installation of manufactured homes in Montgomery County are regulated through the Ohio Manufactured Home Commission. See www.omhc.ohio.gov
|16. What do I need to apply for a building permit for a single family Industrialized unit?
All industrialized single family homes require a building permit.
|17. What is the difference in an Industrialized unit and a Manufactured home?
An Industrialized unit has been approved by the Ohio board of Building Standards. A Manufactured home must be approved by HUD. (Housing and Urban Development) See www.omhc.ohio.gov
|18. How close can I build to the property lines?
The residential building code does not restrict how close you build to the property line. Any structure and overhangs within 5 feet of the property line must be a one hour rated separation walls. We also require any buildings being placed within a utility easement be approved by the utilities, typically the phone company, electric company, cable TV and the sewer provider. The Zoning Department may have property line clearances greater than these.
|19. What areas of Montgomery County are under your jurisdiction?
All townships in the county are under the jurisdiction of Montgomery County Building Regulations Division. Also, some villages and cities contract with Montgomery County to do all or some building code enforcement for them. Refer to the Montgomery County Building Regulations Jurisdictional Chart. Cities that have their own complete building departments include Brookville, Carlisle, Centerville, Dayton, Englewood, Germantown, Kettering, Miamisburg, Oakwood, Springboro, Vandalia, and West Carrollton.

When Rep. Todd Akin recently brought the phrase "legitimate rape" into political discourse, I was simply stunned. Yet his horrifying and dangerously ignorant assertion is, even after all these years, merely a bald-faced acknowledgment of what our rape culture has allowed to exist: the idea that women are only rarely "rape-raped."
A new poll has Akin back ahead of McCaskill in the Missouri senate race. But does who commissioned it matter at all?
The group offered moral support to the senate candidate, but seems to be spending their ad dollars elsewhere.
Let's be very clear that the Republican Party Platform endorses no abortion for any woman for any reason. And that this was not just the ignorant opinion of an isolated individual. This is part of the campaign of misinformation that the far Right Wing has been waging since at least the time of Reagan.
A quick look beneath the surface reveals that America's most celebrated Quiverfull couple believe and espouse decidedly unhealthy ideas when it comes to sex and babymaking.
Well, we knew God was going to be responsible for the storm somehow.
A Missouri Republican who came to the defense of Representative Todd Akin told the The New York Times last week that, while "abortion is never an option…. If God has chosen to bless this person [the rape victim] with a life, you don't kill it."
Akin's comments about "legitimate rape" went against science and reality, but that's par for the course when it comes to an anti-choice movement that ignores the lives and feelings of women in order to paint them as reproductive objects who deserve no say in how they're used.
When public officials make statements that are scientifically inaccurate, it plants a bad seed.
The GOP platform committee did not amend language from the 2004 and 2008 GOP platforms, which "assert the sanctity of human life," and provide no exceptions to abortion in any case whatsoever. The committee add language opposing drugs such as mifepristone, but members agreed that this platform amendment did not apply to EC.

Being an anthropology student (and also a vegan) the question "Are humans designed to eat meat" has always been a particularly intriguing question for me.
It's also really important to know this stuff because it stops a lot of people – in their tracks – from embracing diet high in plant food (the key for radiant health!).
A person came right up to me last month, almost dismayed, saying,"Can you honestly tell me that humans aren't designed to eat meat? We've eaten meat since our early days as prehistoric humans!"
Here's what I said:
"It's not that I think eating meat is inherently wrong – I don't.
Yes, there are tremendous problems with the scale of animal cruelty present today, but I don't think that eating a cow or chicken you tended to with loving care is inherently bad or wrong.
And I won't deny that – without a doubt – humans ate meat in our early days. We did!
What I find important is how much. How much meat did humans really eat?"
Most likely early humans ate very, very little meat.
In fact, their main subsistence was likely lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds (a mostly raw diet coincidentally).
Meat was something to be enjoyed on occasion. Why do you think there was such a great celebration over that successful hunt? (That probably happened every couple months at best).
I recently picked up a paleo diet cookbook (where we are supposed to eat like our early ancestral humans did) and I was astounded by recipe after recipe of different meat dishes!
Where's the truth in that?
Now – just because we ate small amounts of meat in our early days – does this mean that humans are "designed" to eat meat in the same way a carnivore is?
I still say a resounding NO.
Anthropologists suspect that, in truth, humans are herbivores by design.
Why? The digestive tract of a true carnivore, say a tiger, is about 3 times the length of the animal. Do you know how long that of a human's is? About 10-12 times the length of the human. A carnivore – like a tiger – eats and digests a piece of meat in less than 1 day (because the meat is rapidly decaying).
The same piece of meat takes us (humans) double to triple that amount of time (2-3 days!) to digest that same piece of meat.
Have you looked at your teeth lately? Do they compare to that of a tiger?
How about your jaw? Not much compared to the chomping power on a tiger is it? The teeth and jaws on a tiger are clearly designed to tear and rip apart flesh, whereas ours…not so much.
Our closest living ancestors, the great apes, are almost always herbivores, with very few exceptions.
So: Humans do not need meat to live healthy, vibrant lives!
But – you say – what if I LOVE meat?
Then you love meat!
For my clients who simply can't live without meat, I suggest enjoying a small piece (like that of a side dish or smaller) of meat every once and awhile – bought from a reputable, grain fed, local source. And load the remaining 75% (or more) of your plate with some delicious raw, vegan recipes (that I coincidentally teach about in my classes).
As for eating meat (or other animal products) every day, three times a day? No thank you.
This meat stays in our guts for an extended amount of time (mingling at body temperature no less) causing constipation and oxidization within your digestive tract (among other ailments).
Done in excess over the span of a lifetime, it takes a great toll on the body (colon cancer, a most popular cancer, has a high correlation to meat consumption levels and very low levels of fibre – go figure) – and it's very hard on the environment too.
So tell me about your thoughts on our human design – did I convince you? Do you enjoy meat every once and awhile?

Hello Sarah! Thanks for bringing this subject up. That's a question we vegan have to frequently debate. I think you make many good, compelling points. I am convinced too that the human body is designed for a plant based diet. As for eating meat, never ever for the rest of my life. To me exploiting, abusing or killing another being is unnecessary and morally wrong, when we have all the resources we need to achieve vibrant health by eating a whole, plant based diet, and wisely taking a few supplements that, by the way, would greatly benefit everybody.
When people say to me, " but I love my meat", I say, "Yes, I know, I used to love meat too, and eggs, and dairy. But the fact to the matter is that they will most likely impact ypur health in one way or the other, and don't forget that we tend to love what we're used to. The taste buds an the cravings change with the food you consume. Before you know it, you start loving this tofu, this kale and avocado salad, this sunflower pate. Lemon, coriander, coconut become your best friends. Yes, the vegan lifestyle fits me perfectly. I get to eat great tasting and healthy food, I do my part for the environment, and I can truly say that I love the animals and care for all of them. So much joy and satisfaction!
what did people eat on Alaska there was no fruites or veges and there was no transport like today
Hello fellow debators, advocaters, and endorsers of veganism. I personally have been a vegetarian for a period of time and due to my frequent research and investigations I feel that I'm ready to take the next step: veganism! However, I feel very reluctant to commence such an enterprise for I do not know how I will consume enough protein and calories per day- I enjoy weightlifting, long distance running, rollerblading, and yoga! Therefore, I am seeking everyone's help to perhaps suggest invaluable resources that can guide me on how to consume adequate amounts of protein, nutrients, calories and fats while not spending an excessive amount of time preparing strange dishes. Mostly I'm looking for WHOLE foods! No additives, fancy flavors, food coloring a etc!
My email is firstname.lastname@example.com please contact me ASAP!!
Thank you very much for this and your blog – I love it. My mother-in-law grew up on a farm in Wisconsin and to her meat is THE center piece of every meal. If you don't eat meat you're not getting enough protein.
When she visits (for too long), EVERY meal she is like a hawk watching my daughter trying to get her to eat more meat. I just want to scream. This woman has had a heart attack and hip replacement and yet sees no connection with her diet. Still pushes the meat and butter on everything.
She unfortunately stays with us for about 10 days when she visits and one visit I made no meals with meat for almost the whole time. I had to endure comments about how 'I might want to' give my daughter protein powder drinks to make sure she's getting enough protein. Our daughter is rarely sick, a healthy weight, and does well in school. Omg.
So sorry for the negativity, but it is amazing how people will react when you don't eat like them. (I did mention she had a HEART ATTACK two years ago?)
Thank you SO much for this blog!0
A few things come up for me when reading about raw/ raw vegan nutrition, which I practiced for a little less than a year. When reviewing information based on blood type, and practicing with my own blood type and lifestyle, some body chemistry can digest meat better than others, some body chemistry can digest raw plant material better than others. Energetically, meat has a lower vibration than plants; and in my experience as the vibration of the individual becomes higher the desire for meat based meals lessens, as does the overall quantity of food with or without meat. When considering ayruvedic principles, there may be some types of meat that are more beneficial than others and there may also be types of plants that are more beneficial than others, and overall there is a desire to stay away form meat, again because of the vibration of it. Geographic location and time of year can influence what is best for each person. Tuning in to how we feel after each thing we eat and the amount of each thing we eat is important to determine what is the best diet for the individual. I feel healthier when I eat meat and mostly cooked foods, even though I would prefer to have a raw/raw vegan diet. Now that summer is approaching I will likely take less meat, incorporate some raw, and still keep some cooked foods to balance out the digestive fire. Given human diversity, it may take some time for everyone to reach the same stage of dietary evolution where we are all healthily eating fruits, nuts and veggies =)
Hi, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you
get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you protect against
it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much
lately it's driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.
It is useful to eat meat if you do heavy physical work. Otherwise it is completely unnecessary and possibly harmful. It is also necessary to avoid gluten, which is fatal to the human body. Fruits, nuts and veggies are the best :)
Actually, I've been a vegetarian from birth and do heavy physical work – somehow I'm still alive and well, and working hard! So I guess needing meat to do heavy physical work is a myth…..
You totally skipped a protein source our ancestors ate with abandon, and probably every day; insects.
We ARE designed for that.
Et qu'en penses-tu aujourd'hui??
Great article.
but I question this:
"bought from a reputable, grain fed, local source"
I think its important that the meat you eat comes from a animal that is healthy and eats its natural diet. That would be pretty hard to achieve with a grain fed meat. Cows eat grass. The only reason they feed them grain is because they grow faster. They get sick on grains.
Also I think that fish is more natual for us to eat than red meat. The easiest animal to catch would be eaten more often. Our bodies react better to fish than red meat (inflamation).
I've been being educated by Dr. Robert Morse, ND on acid/alkaline and lymphatic issues. He helps people with fasting and de-toxing and seems to know the skinny on the human body. According to him fowl is better than fish, although I love a good fatty salmon steak. But if one eats only 20% meat why argue over details? What is the best way to process meat so that it does not sit in the gut so long? Cooked or raw? Blended in the Nutribullet?
Oh my goodness, such a wonderful article, I have actually seen myself change before my own eyes. No article, no ones influence, no fabulous recipes, but my body connecting to my brain or vice verses, and my desire for eating meat especially red meat. Just the appearance started to turn my stomach, now even chicken and fish don't always set well. So reading the article just encouraged me that my body is directing me as to what it needs. Thank you for ALL your sharing. I look forward to my future and healthy life style.
I found this post after googling phrases like "meat makes my stomach hurt". I was raised in the south, on barbecue and grilled and fried everything. Moved away, discovered vegetarianism and liked it. Moved home, went back to eating meat. I was vegan for a time, and (loved it because I was cooking like a mad woman!), but found it difficult as my husband and kids eat meat, so I was cooking all the time. Now, just like before, I feel a shift inside me away from meat. It hurts my stomach, it makes me constipated, it just does not agree with me. I don't say I'm vegan or vegetarian, because I just eat what I feel like eating. It's interesting to know, after trying Paleo and reading all the posts on the "evidence" on some of those sites, that maybe what I'm doing is the best thing. You make me feel like I'm not alone. :)
Wow. This actually makes a lot of sense. I'm looking into eating raw, and that's how I found this site, but I do love to eat meat. Anything else will be easy to cut, but we do eat a lot of steak and chicken. I don't plan to completely cut it out, but I do plan now after reading this to maybe try to go from once a day, to maybe 2-3 times a week and maybe less once I'm used to that.
Humans eat meat for a couple of reasons
1. Fat, fat was essential ( and still is) for a healthy diet. Without fat your body can go into starvation mode. Your body will hold onto as many calories as it can and you will suffer from lack of energy and aggressive mood swings and in extreme cases you can pass out from lack of calories.
2. Protein, although seeds and fruits have a high amount of protein per serving it is just pure protein with no fat or sugars along with it the essential fat and sugars that are needed for a strong muscular system and healthy lifestyle. And although I do not oppose vegans or what they stand for it is true that you need meat to be healthy our body is designed to handle the consumption of meat for its role in our health. Even though I do not agree with mass slaughterhouses i think that everybody should eat meat that has lived its life fully on a farm and that we do still need meat and that is the truth of it.
Fats and proteins can be get from plant food. It is harder, what made a lot of difference o early days of humanity, but doesn't matter today. At least for the last 2 to 3 thousand years humanity produces enough food to live without meat. For sure, it wasn't that way everywere during this time, but in certainly today we don't face the issues that can force someone to rely on meat. You CAN, but don't NEED to.
Hey Sarah,
Great Post.
I agree, I always say that the assumption by some people that humans are natural born Omnivores is a somewhat narrow statement. When I say narrow, I mean that the parameter of Omnivore in respect of human meat consumption is an 'extremely narrow parameter'.
As you mentioned, our ancestors did eat meat which I agree with, but the widespread use of fire at a time pre dating 125,000 years is mere scholarly speculation.
So in terms of Homo Habilis and Homo Erectus at this point in the Pleistocene, they would have been consuming Raw Meat and most likely insects.
I did have a chuckle at your reference to The Paleo thought process. As you say the Paleo set I believe is set up as a meat promotion vehicle…and we all know how terribly the excessive consumption animal fat can impact the human body, Neu5Ac and Neu5Gc Glycans literally killing people on a standard western diet left right and centre as well as all the other complications related to Lypemia and IGF1.
Take a look at this facebook post and tell me what you think:
I am a 38 yr old 11th year 100% plantbased [V*gan] and regularly run trail marathons, weighing in excess of 212lbs 15.2 stone (so not built like a standard runner by any standard). When running I do keep pace with running club mid paced runners and some back markers….so where is all this deficiency? I would like to hear your views on all of this Vegan deficiency associated with K2, B12, DHA and the Homocystein complication.
Especially when all of these deaths in the mainstream public domain of those on SWD are "relatively" skewed towards those consuming a diet inclusive of animal fats and all the associated.
I have always maintained that we require a death register for persons of a Vegan lifestyle persuasion, to put everything into a more clear context.
Thanks for your time and look forward to your responses!
Hey Sarah,
Great Post.
I agree, I always say that the assumption by some people that humans are natural born Omnivores is a somewhat narrow statement. When I say narrow, I mean that the parameter of Omnivore in respect of human meat consumption is an 'extremely narrow parameter'.
As you mentioned, our ancestors did eat meat which I agree with, but the widespread use of fire at a time pre dating 125,000 years is mere scholarly speculation.
So in terms of Homo Habilis and Homo Erectus at this point in the Pleistocene, they would have been consuming Raw Meat and most likely insects.
I did have a chuckle at your reference to The Paleo thought process. As you say the Paleo set I believe is set up as a meat promotion vehicle…and we all know how terribly the excessive consumption animal fat can impact the human body, Neu5Ac and Neu5Gc Glycans literally killing people on a standard western diet left right and centre as well as all the other complications related to Lypemia and IGF1.
Take a look at this facebook post and tell me what you think:
I am a 38 yr old 11th year 100% plantbased [V*gan] and regularly run trail marathons, weighing in excess of 212lbs 15.2 stone (so not built like a standard runner by any standard). When running I do keep pace with running club mid paced runners and some back markers….so where is all this deficiency? I would like to hear your views on all of this Vegan deficiency associated with K2, B12, DHA and the Homocystein complication.

Just for your information: We humans evolved as a species that uses tools and even fire, which have been around for much much longer than the actual homo sapiens. Spears, knives and fire are our natural weapons, we are coursorial hunters, and even physically adapted to this hunting style: We walk upright, so we have a good overview over the steppes (we originate from), we have our hands free to carry our weapons, we have no fur and can sweat for cooling, and we have extraordinary endurance and excellent eyes compared to most other animals. A gazelle for instance can run much faster – but not for long. Our big, energy hungry brains however enable us, who we are physically relatively weak, to work in groups, coordinate using elaborate language, and build more and more sophisticated tools, up to the very computer you used to write this article.
Just my 0.02€ – have a nice day.
Actually using tools and fire benefited us in more than just a way to aquire meat, it gave us the ability to cook starch food for more energy as well as the ability to protect ourselves from predators. Also walking on 2 feet is not a hunting thing but a way to see danger ahead of time, many animals do it like birds who stay in groups (one will perch up high to alert the group if predatory animals come close), meerkats and primates. You can't say hands are meant to ONLY use tools, although the ability to do so helped us with our survival (especially during the ice age times where on most of the eating plant matter wasn't an option) however we still retain the ability to climb perhaps not as well as other primates but we still have a decent ability (this can be shown by how even people who have never gone rock climbing or have climbed a tree can with a little amount of practice to the point of being able to proquire fruits from trees), yes actually we do have fur, we have hair and on lots of people, if they don't remove this hair, can become pretty thick warm and protective. Hair is protection from the elements and the only reason we lost it was because we started wearing clothes (which happened even in warmer places as a way to protect against not only snow but rain, sunburn and wind). This made me laugh because actually, no, our eyes are pretty shitty compared to omnivores and carnivores. Our eyes are also meant to see colors pretty vibrantly (plants are often brightly colored) as well our brains are optimal for remembering certain places to be able to go back to where a plant created food to eat. Wouldn't being relatively weak make us more prey than predator? being able to outlast the predator running after us is a vital skill since omnivores and carnivores can't run for long periods of time like humans can. Language, again, more than just hunting. Just trying to actually spread facts.
Zoe, you're quite right, but I would like to correct som things.
Hands aren't for climbing, even if they do keep some of this cappacity. Climbers use claws. Our hands ARE for tool using and making, and fine manipulation of things, as are the hands of all primates.
Of course, tool using isn't synonimous to meat eating, either. You can use simple tools to break nuts and smash seeds, cut bark, take insects (as a lot of apes do), defend against predators, and much more. Meat was important on our early days, but There was much more on our development as species.
Our eyes aren't shitty, either! Ours is a good set of eyes, if not one of the best. What happens is that almost every animal on earth have specialized eyes. Humans included. So, if you get anny random animal, it will probably be better tha us on one aspect of vision. But not on others.
In our case, we have a good measure of distance AND a wide focus area, with a reasonable periferic vision, we are very good with perception of movement, distance calculation and perception of details, and have a huge range of color perception at day. We're not the best at any of those things, but almost any other animal will better us on one, maybe two of them, and be very poor on the rest.
By the way, the best way to recognaise edible fruits is by smell. Our perception of collor gives us a lot of information about a lot of things, since we standed up to see far away, but on food, it's specially good to discern poisonous animals. So it's more to discern edible meat than fruits. But hardly so focused on food, either way.
Our brains have more porpose, also, than to remember where to find plants. Even because we can also discern migration patterns and animal behavior, so it's as useful for hunting as is for gathering. And being relatively weak of body doesn't make us more nothing, nor prey, nor predator. We are adapted, as every living creature.
Rhinos and hippos are both herbivores, and are among the most powerful of all animals. The chimps and gorillas have a similar diet to what we eated on the dawn of our species, and are both stronger than us.
Snakes are predators AND prey, and they're not specially strong. Few snakes are strong enough to estrangulate a weak human being, and venomous ones are positively weak, easily killed with hand or foot (of course, there are a lot of technique on killing a snake with care to not be biten and end up poisoned).
Hi! Just like to share some toughts on the subject, Iv had 4, now i got 3 Fangs in my mouth and they defenetly look like fangs as the tiger. not as big but at the same time they are for tearing meat. And all other teeth iv got is superb of cutting meat. And another thing about tigers is they work mostley on their own and are bigger and attack fast, They have been depending on their size to be able to take down big chunks becourse their succesrate isnt the best to say the least. humans used to run or walk long ways to get to hunting grounds in the earlie days. Atleast thats what if found out of when researching human. So yes we are a carnivore. We eat both Vegetables fruits and meat. Check out wat the remote tribes do and how they hunt and what they eat and you will see that it almost always contains meat or fish.
Yes, you have fangs. Yes, they are able to cut meat, indeed. Also are your other teeth, specially the front teeth. Congratulations, you are ABLE to eat meat.
No, they aren't too much like tiger fangs. They remember tiger fangs as much as the back teeth remember the jaw of a cow. Indeed, the animals whose teeth most resemble ours, aside primates, are the ones on the pig familly.
We are not carnivores. We are not herbivores, either. If you think nature works just on this ground, it would be good to study a little more. We are, as other primates and pigs, and a bunch of other animals, OMNIVORES. Able to eat a great array of things, not the best on any of them.
That said, exercises alone aren't enough to compensate a diet with too much meat. You can eat a good amount of it if you want to, but remember that vegetables have yet to be the base of our diet. As you said yourself, our ancestors didn't had all that success on hunting. They ate meat at every opportunity on early days, but that wasn't that much.
It is also a good idea to keep in mind that there are different sorts of meat. Our ancestors ate hunted meat, including mammalian meat, fish and birds, but also including insects and arachnids. And if they almost allways WANTED to eat meat, their success rate where so low that some indeed had to live almost exclusively on vegetables.
Finaly, keep in mind modern times. Today we produce food completely different from what our ancestors had to eat. One of the good sides is that today we do produce vegetables enough to live without meat. The reverse isn't true, meat-only diets are tremendously hazardous to our health.
Indeed, we produce so much food that we have to be cautious of what we eat to keep our health. That's not to say that only meat can be hazardous, a kilo of fried potatos, fried using soy oil, isn't an example of healthy meal, even if tottally meat-free. But someone who dedicates to avoid meat is already doing the most important thing: paying attention to the food.
And just to repeat: we are NOT carnivores. We are omnivores, and in doubt, are best served with vegetables than with meat.
Hi Alex,
Great thoughts, were they thoughts or research, or observations of ancient civilizations who base consumption of flesh purely on availability, rather than clinical data and science available to modern day civilizations today?
Have you researched the impact of mamillian Glycan starches such as Neu5Gc and pathogenic endotoxic bacteria?
Even Carnivores and Omnivores eat offal to attain the mineral and bacterial goodness of the digested plant matter in herbivore prey.
It's all very well taking nutrition advice from ancient hominid ancestors, but remember that Homo Habilis did not cook his meat, so either ate it raw, or likely ate insects and grubs.
FYI: Grain fed meat is not nutritionally good to eat, cooked or raw.
Grass fed meat is nutritionally good to eat, best raw.
Don't take this as a rule. Instead, naturaly fed meat tend to be nutritionally good to eat. That means an animal being allowed to eat what it go after and get, not being forced to any particular diet. On some cases, that means hunted meat, usually an animal that was healthy and as happy as one can be on harsh nature (certainly more than one can be on most places where humans treat them as growing machines, or just like crap).
Also be aware with raw meat. It takes at least 5 times as much caution to avoid food poisoning as cooked meat, and if more nutritious, is also harder to digest. I would like things wheren't such way, I do like raw meat…
I just want to add some information.
First, that people tend to forget that there are not just "Carnivore" and "Herbiore" on the animal world. Indeed, to say that the Great Apes are herbivorous is outright incorrect.
We are omnivorous animals, as do are the apes. If you do compare our teeth to true herbivores, you'll find no more commonplaces than with true carnivores.
Also, since our stomach is free of bacteria, the time of the meat on it isn't such a concern. It is a problem because of the energy we must to spend and the extra weight during this time, but it is no big deal if it is not a humongous amount of meat. Of course, it IS a problem for the people that DO eat a humongous amount of meat…
No anthropologist believe that we are herbivorous by design, that's just a legend. Even because it isn't on Anthropoly's field, but in Biology's.
That said, stoping to spread such legends is the best way to do spread Veganism. Truth is allways the best to not infuriate someone and make enemies to your cause.
Human beings ARE able to eat meat, and designed to do so. So are the apes. And, on the past, it WAS necessary for survival, and for our development. What we never was, was able to live of meat ALONE. And that is a truth.
By the way, we cannot have a healthy life with too much meat on the plate, but today we CAN have a healthy life only on vegetables. And with the amount of resources needed just to make a cow into a beef, it would be great indeed if more people could live just on that. Less suffering, less pollution, a lot of lesses, and not so many that I would feel sorry for.
I recently watched a video where the male chimpanzee would offer meat to the female as a precursor to mating. It appears meat is a sexual stimulant.
Jorge, where do you get your biological data from? It is well known and documented (in ethical scientific circles) that the ileum of the small intestinal tract is dysfunctional in the presence of putrifaction, i.e endotoxic bacterial loading due to consumption of flesh foods.
Please research some proper biology and try not to refer to your favourite website http://www.howtobelittleaveganwithpoorscience.com
Gaza, that agrees with what I am taught by my medical hygienist, Dr. Robert Morse. Technically the body DOES need all the amino acids and proteins are composed of amino acids, however the body does better getting the raw amino acids rather than having to break down the protein to secure amino acids. Hope this helps.
First, is your right to question where I get my data. But is NOT to suppose I'm a poor reasercher just because of not doing so before. And if you whant to argue superiority on the matter, have the decency of being an example.
I derive most of my knowledge on the matter from academy, but since I will have to list fonts, I will do in a week or two, since I have limited time.
About your piece of information, it is correct, of course! But if you had read what I said, the matter is that meat, or any other food, doesn't putrify on your stomach. And the extra time meat gets on your body is on the stomach. You will have problems if the meat is already putrid, what also happens with vegetables, with the difference that putrid meat can more easily go unnoticed.
There are other specific issues on meat, and I can't deny that as food, meat need a lot of cautions for proper consume. Vegetables also, but in a different way, they are usually harder to keeping from rot, but easier to notice when something is wrong.
Again, I'm not interested on belittle anyone, much less with poor science. I do suport initiatives on diets of reduced or no meat, today that is possible and healthy, for people and nature.
But on the contrary, what I will never support is poor science, or pseudo science, and by purpose or mistake, such can appear anywhere, specially when ideologies are concerned, and Vegans aren't immune (nor am I, by the way, or a lot of shitheads that believe meat to be necessary, worse yet, in loads).
Jorge, I agree with you that certain protocols need to be followed when eating meats and that can get rather complex and most people, if they knew those protocols, would probably eat less meat.
Eating fresh ripe fruits, however, require almost no protocols if eaten in hand, and the only complexity I experience is my own learning curve and transition and re-training the palate, etc.
There are plenty of testimonials of people feeling better when putting themselves on a diet of green smoothies or fruit smoothies. (Example: the movie, "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead")
Colleen, as I said, meat is trickier to notice when something is wrong. About fruits, usually is quite hard to ignore the fermented smell, or the fungi on a bad fruit.
But to be true, there are at least two protocols to follow with them:
1- Wash them very well. If nothing else, at least cooked food is cooked. Salads take time to prepare, so higiene ends not adding much to them, either. With the ease of eating a fruit, isn't hard to forget to wash, and sometimes is good to use vinegar or something like to guarantee higiene. Some very nasty diseases can get to you by fruits. Not so common, but best to not give'em the chance.
2- Take care with seeds when you don't know very well about the fruit, specially tropical ones. Apple seeds, for instance, are poisonous in large quantities, so isn't a good idea to eat them if you eat a lot of apples. There are a bunch of tropical fruits whose seeds are full f needles. If you eat without care, they can realy hurt you. There are one here where I live, for example, called "pequi". A lot of people love it, but one wrong bite and you will need someone to take the seed away of your mouth, and a day or two on liquids only untill you get better.
After almost a year of eating mostly raw fruits I'm confident I can mostly survive on high Brics fruits. When I go off this frugivore diet I do like to add some psyllium husk and bentonite clay to keep the gut moving.
Due to the seasonality of various fruits a frugivore diet can be largely a mono-diet. It took several years and water fasting to be able to tolerate the sugars in grapes and other sweet fruits, but now I can eat a pound of grapes without going unconscious. :-)
I would suggest to still eat some leafs, or at least to keep a good amount of nuts and grains, specially high-protein grains like soybeans.
Jorge, thank you for your reply. I do still have an interest in the more herbal vegetables, such as parsley and cilantro, etc. However, I would like to point out again that if one is getting all their amino acids from fruits then they really do not need proteins. For example, orangutans have a similar digestive system and bulk up muscle on almost all fruits and herbs (okay, some insects too).
When man began migrating out of the tropics and sub-tropics he then found it "necessary" to supplement with raw (or processed) nuts. And I am aware that today humans in the tropics and sub-tropics also do the same and also hunt for meat. Meat is a known sexual stimulant (the specific neuro-transmitters in meat) and is a great prize to share with a chosen female. Ho-hum.
The only reason I can see for a frugivore to not subsist on fruits, berries, and melons is if there are none available. The hydrochloric acid in our stomach is not as "hot" as that of carnivores. The fact that we CAN eat other than fruits does not mean it is not taxing for the body and results in short or long-term sickness. But then again, who really eats because it is healthy compared to who eats because it is yummy?
It has taken a year or more for me to transition to the point where I can crave a navel orange or grapefruit instead of breads, meats, and cooked vegetables.
Hi Jorge,
It was not a personal assault. I cannot be held responsible for the poor efficacy produced by your data sources.
Thanks, peace
Yesterday I watched a new video by Dr. Robert Morse, ND wherein he does say that neurotransmitters which energize the body can be gotten from meats BUT at a cost to the kidneys and lymphatic system and the putrefaction factor in the gut. If I were to become a meat eater I would focus on raw (for the enzymes) and the organs and glands and (in Africa) the contents of the stomach, and some of the fatty areas. Then I would accompany it with herbs that aided the digestion, and not combine the eating of meat with any other fruits or vegetables.
If one is to introduce morality into the picture, then to be the most complementary with the biosphere is to eat the fruits, berries, and melons that say, "!eat me!". Most plants, animals, fishes, and insects have been on a long evolutionary track to do their best to not be eaten. Even human bodies cry out if even a mosquito draws their blood, although sub-ego animals don't take being eaten as dramatically as ego-based humans.
Such is the nature of our biosphere and you can choose to be complementary with it or not; it was here before any religion or '-ism', as was your body. I'm not a moralist, however, and not presenting a dogma,simply another viewpoint because there are other planets, other biospheres. Perhaps it is the smaller ancestral reptilian portion of our brain that helps the body accommodate meateating during times of scarcity.
Can you clarify the Bv protein profile of Avocado Vs the Bv protein profile of meats? As you rightly alluded to the putrefaction of meats in the ileum that also prevent the cleaved enzymes and B12 of peptide bonds from being suitably assimilated in the B12 absorption. (have you considered this?)
I actually tend to agree that in order to be truly "paleo" that one would expect to be eating raw meats (or more likely and truly PALEO, grubs and insects, a higher grade and abundant source of protein). It is science FACT, I repeat….it is science FACT, yes FACT, that the unequivocal usage of fire is traced to no later than in the order of 135 – 150 thousand years ago. Please clarify why humans cannot safely consume native jungle fowl safely unless cooked (Ecoli et Al).
In terms of evolutionary timeline, it took a Hippo 15 MILLION YEARS (FIFT-EEN MILL-ION YEARS!!!) to evolve from predominant carnivore to predominant herbivore.
So in light of this, one would expect that humans being typically (and incorrectly) as predominant omnivores (we are Omnivore in a VERY VERY narrow parameter) we should comfortably be able to still consume a varied and copious amount of raw mammalian flesh. I say to you, please , PLEASE do research Sialic acid cellular/ molecular science surrounding the Neu5Gc and realign your evidently distorted view on the extent of human Omnivorism.
The evolution to utilize cutting tools and weapons does not constitute the physiological evolution to consume meat.
Thank you
No, it is not. Morality isn't complementary to biosphere. Nature isn't moral, and even if it was, nature is harsh. The food chain is violent, and life bound to death. The ecosystem is maintained by this. If there are no predator for an animal, the species will grow too much in numbers. The same for plants. Some species ties their very reproduction to this. Bacteria, fungus, and some plants and animals need the carcasses of dead animals and plants. There are just too much things on an ecosystem that derive and depend on the very point of being adapted to such an arrangement. The biosphere is made of this. Animals and plants adapt to not be eaten. And to eat. Predators and prey both die in the process, learn, adapt, and find the rest of world around them adapting at the same time. Fruits are just a little part of this, not the whole point.
Not that you can't rely on fruits based on a moral standard. Be welcome if you want, is a valid choice for a human being. Animals don't care for the suffering they cause on others, but we do. In fact, i'm tottaly pro for reducing the suffering of animals on farms and abattoir, and I respect who do care for such on plants, tough I don't. What you need to have in mind is just that morality is our thing, not nature's, or biosphere's thing. Of course, it was nature that made us that way, but as with any other animal, we're just one experiment, not The one.
Meat eaters unite. It tastes delicious, it's very nutritious, and I have not found any really strong reason to stop enjoying myself. Well, except maybe just one. Watch this video and you decide:
Earthlings | Watch Free Documentary Online
Peace, Joy, and Love forever,
Good article but there are some corrections:
The digestive tract of a human is not about 10-12 times the length but about 5-6 times. The entire system — from mouth to anus — is about 30 feet (9 meters) long. The small intestine is 20 feet (6 meters or 4 short humans) and the large intestine is about 5 feet (1.5 meters – or 1 short human) long.
I agree, Humans aren't designed to be carnivores. You're probably right that humans ate less meat than we consume these days. Not only that the processed meats today are probably worse than the fresh meat our ancestors hunted and gathered.
I recently did a fruit fast just to cleanse my body. I finished it last Sunday at midnight. I gravitated towards a cheese stick and had a few. Already I felt weird kinda like a knot. I had to eat an apple chaser. Labor Day meant BBQ so I had a burger & brat no bun but that didn't matter. Within an hour or so the grease seemed to coat my throat and stomach, I still taste as I write this.
I had more energy and felt great then I felt like a slug. I was asked it you are what you eat. I said yes because I felt bloated like a cow, fat as a pig, and lethargic like a sloth. Now I'm looking at switching over to a more vegan lifestyle. I used to love meats. Now the thought of eating meats makes me nauseous.
I personally feel there's nothing wrong with eating meat but it has to be in moderation and organic. I admire vegans who are in sports such as mixed martial arts and powerlifting and the strongman competition. My goal is to eat less meat and more grains, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. I've switched from vegan to vegetarian to pescetarian and to omnivore. What I do notice is that I don't feel so good when I eat too much red meat. I noticed when I train in mixed martial arts that I have a lot of endurance when eating less meat. I don't hardly break a sweat after 12 rounds of intense training. It's unbelievable but true.
Some of you talk about cruelty to animals. Besides the death part which I get, what cruelty are we talking about?
What happened to my question?
Sorry I see it now awaiting moderation
