Brining QuestionChuck Kopsho Here's my favorite Chicken brine recipe. Even better if you put it on a rotisserie afterward. I usually double the brine so it covers the entire chicken, but you should...
No one is forced to become a vegetarian, so that's just silly.
Face it, you only have to go down the local supermarket to see that most meat meals are just chicken. Coronation chicken, Chicken Byriani, chicken in white wine sauce, Cajun chicken, chicken nuggets and Chicken Satay. You can cover it with a million different sauces and swamp it with spices, but it's still just dull white meat. All the things which add interest are vegetable, so why not cut out the middle man?
Fine, but then again iron and selenium are bioavailable from plants, so there is no need to inflict a painful death on thousands upon thousand of animals and you don't get the harmful levels of saturated fats, high density lipoproteins and free radicals.
You also don't get the breakdown products of the fight ot flight hormones released by the animal when it realised it was going to be killed. You lack the growth hormones it was fed on, or the antibacterials, or the prions from the dead sheep it was fed, or the risk of intestinal parasites like tapeworms.
You don't get risks of general diseases developing like bird flu, which originated in ducks, but spread into poultry where it was able to infect people. If it does mutate into a human form, it will be through meat production. Read Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel to understand how livestock have provided the medium through which some truely devastating diseases have spread into the human population, killing literally millions upon miilions.
1. Most vegetarians don't greatly care about what they eat. They adopt the practice for ethical reasons. The health benefits are a bonus.
2. The fact that vegetarians suffer less cancer and heart disease show they are not malnourished. There is no evidence to suggest that vegetarians are under nourished.
3. Most of the health problems which afflict the Western world like heart disease, obesity, food related cancers, gout, type two diabeies and others are due to over eating.
4. A ninja? You've been watching too many movies. Ninja were spies and buttasins. Now they're the poster boys for adolescents with power fantasies and acne.
5. I don't need to look up the link between selenium and cancer, you provided it. However, it is moot, because veggies can get all the selenium they need from plants and they get fewer cancers than meat-eaters anyway. It isn't broken for veggies, so they don't need to fix it.
6. Look you dull old troll, why don't you realise that you are wasting time you could be using to do something useful? You could be questioning recieved doctrine and gaining the benefits of a rational approach to life. Any entertainment you might get from this is no better than masturbation and you migt be misleading good people.
