What About Meat? Diet for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
ALS Diet Pages
As earlier mentioned, the human physiological makeup is ideally suited to mostly, or all vegetable-source foods. The reasons for this are:
- The human dentition (flat, grinding surfaces and the absence of pointed "canine" teeth designed to cut into flesh)
- The human GI tract (longer, for the complete breakdown and digestion of fibers in vegetable-source foods)
- The makeup of human digestive enzymes, more suited to vegetable-source foods.
Truly anyone that argues against such obviousness is merely defending their love of food, and not their desire for absolute truth. Eating meat is like eating "second-hand" vegetables. The animal whose flesh you consume ate the vegetables firsthand. We obtain every nutrient and amino acid needed from vegetable-source foods. Where so-called vegetarians or vegans have historically contributed to a bad name for what is truly the ideal way to go, is in thinking that as long as it doesn't have meat, it's "okay"....like MacDonald's "MacFish Burger". This line of thinking has given rise to hydrolyzation, modification, isolation, etc. of beans and grains to create all sorts of "delicacies" like tofu, "protein bars" and soymilk. When analyzed these are nothing more than simple carbohydrates mixed with oxidized fats, altered proteins, and high levels of free glutamates...not a recipe for optimum cellular health.
