Fruititarians?

[The Man]

i have no problem with people who follow that diet, and while it's not something I would like to do, I don't look down on a person for doing it.

I can understand why they would, I think that people eat too much meat as it is. We kill so many animals and yet a large portion of the meat is just thrown away.

When did this begin?..the throwing away of meat.

exactly... the only thing most people don't eat on the animal in the US asre the genitalia, the brain and the heart. But it's an everyday thing with other cultures. I'd like to know where you found that information. we waste food on the whole it's not just with animal byproduct. The problem is we eat/are served more food than our stomach can handle and when we're full we tend to throw it out.

ok.....i'll clear a few things up

humans are indeed animals,primates in fact.....we're classed as one of the great apes

as with chimps we're omnivorous,meaning that we're designed to eat animal and plant foods(chimps often hunt down a monkey)

now the fruit.....not all fruits are apples and oranges etc......you can include tomato's,cucumbers,courgettes,marrows and any other food that has the seeds in the part you eat

Look at restaurants, fast food places. How much of the food goes to waste? I used to work in a fast food place and we would throw up to $50 bucks worth of food a day because either the order was wrong, it went bad, someone didn't like it... It's a lot of meat, but not only meat, that gets thrown away. Look at what people don't finish, as well. Or what they forget about in the fridge/pantry and it goes to waste. http://www.endhunger.org/food_waste.htm

This explains it.

You gotta admit, the serving sizes in restaurants and stuff are HUGE, I couldn't even finish a 'small' chips with gravy at my local RSL Club lol

 

[Iris]

Yeah, I totally agree! While I am guilty of it too, I am trying to not waste meat most of all. I only try to order what I can finish. If I order too little, I can just have something else or have more.

I think part of the problem in America is that the portions are so huge that we are used to them, now. Where as in the UK they are much smaller, I wish we could slowly decrease the size to something a little more healthy or at least have smaller portions available for other people. we focus so much on making everything so big that people tend to over eat. And yes, I am guilty of this too. I'm not trying to come across as the perfect person who doesn't over eat or waste. lol I'm just aware of it and have been trying to change that.

The first thing everyone who goes to America tells me is that the American small Mcdonld's size is a UK large size.

 

[Iris]

I think the medium is the large, actually. I was in the UK back in june and july. I might be wrong, but it looked like that. Your portions were crazy small. hell, I could eat a large Dominos by myself! >.>

Fuck, I miss the food over there. UK has the best chinese food ever.

 

[Dana]

McDonalds is horrible. I don't eat it anymore since I started eating better. I have a feeling itd probably make me sick.

 

[KimmyCharmeleon]

Speaking of fruit, I'm about to have some beloved pineapple :woohoo:
