How do you feel about toe socks? I sadly can not wear them because I have webbed toes. My dad (who I inherited it from) says it’s the most common birth defect in the world.

Your dad is lying and your great great grandmother was a Merrow.

I’m fairly sure the most common birth defect in the world is being human.

You may be a good cook, Simon, but you just burnt every human who reads this

To a crisp. How else am I going to get that lovely charcoal flavor?

Goody saw me lie down on my bed to read and look over mail. He got onto the bed, belly crawled over to me, climbed over me so that the upper half of his body was resting on my right hip, and then flipped onto his back with his head across my chest. He looked at me with one eye and then wiggles his feet in the air with a “This is belly scratch time, you realize good sir.”

My friend is attempting to recover from a literal lifetime of extreme malnutrition. He is shooting for 1100 a day right now but struggling. He doesn’t eat meat, and otherwise he can’t reach the goal without relying on sugars- better than nothing but not the healthiest recovery route and he has anxiety over his weight. Any foods that are nutrition filled and calorie high other than meat? Things that are light are easiest

Dairy, oils, nuts. If he will eat dairy, I recommend he drink a full serving of Muscle Milk Gainer in the flavor of his choice. It’s made from whey protein and contains excellent nutrition. It also tastes like ice cream. Butter. Butter is actually high in those fatty acids I was talking about which are used for the brain. Nut butters are high in fats and proteins. Oils are also rich in a number of other important substances. Also whole grains can be very calorically dense: buckwheat, barley, oats.

You know, I find you very interesting and intelligent. But you seem to lack any true scientific understanding of veganism and how it pertains to the human body, especially in regards to protein assembly in the brain that you say “requires” animal consumption since our bodies are “inefficient” at reassembling these proteins from plants. I would love to hear a fully detailed scientific basis for your claims, because there appear to be none. Countless Google searches have yielded nothing similar.

That’s amusing. I have a biotech firm. I’m well versed in the chemistry, but you’ll read whatever it is you want to see and refuse to hear otherwise.

What I’ve said, countless times, is that the human body does less work, and can more readily absorb and use animal protein, rather than to piece complete proteins together from plant matter. Many of the vegan sources of sphingloid fatty acids have been shown to be either not or very low in bioavailability and absorption. Soy based compounds have a number of concerning side effects including uptaking a great deal of aluminum from the soil. I know this because I also have shares in an advanced farming company.

I’ve said before and I will say it again—your diet is your business. Your ethics and morals are yours. What I object to is the vilification of those who either must eat meat because of significant health issues, or who simply wish to. There is no higher power regulating anything, and if a man chooses to take on the burden of eating an animal, then let him do so. You can have your discipline and you can preach your rhetoric, but don’t call it a perfect healthy diet, because it isn’t. Even other primates aat insects and small animals. They even kill and eat other tribes of primates. All diets have consequences, so don’t deny yours, because that makes you a hypocrite not an educator.

I’m not human. I absolve myself from this discussion. Have what you have and keep it to yourself, but don’t argue your position on the platform I’ve created, because it’s easy pickings.

If you have a problem with eating meat, then you need to find another writer to follow.

I don’t know how many times I have to say this: I have vegan readers. Ask them if I harass them about it. I do not care what you eat. If anything my work shows I have a tremendous diversity of recipes, including vegan. I’ve said many times that if your Veganism is a personal choice based in morals and ethics, then I applaud you and commend you for your discipline. If anything my work also demonstrates that I struggle with the consequences of my diet on a regular basis. And so coming to me and claiming some sort of elite status or making out as if this is a casual engagement or that I am unethical or misinformed about food and nutrition, proves to me that you haven’t read my materials. You simply crossed paths with me, did a bit of snooping, and then got on your high horse.

I also eat horses, so take your pontification and walk.

I eat everything and I accept those consequences, because I am old enough and self possessed enough to not get sappy about the idea of the sacredness of life. Until humans can examine their other crimes, there’s almost no point in debating this. The same people who preach the morality of veganism, are the same ones who overlook that there are countless cultures that rely on meat, countless people who cannot live without it, countless cultures who hunt as part of their identity. There’s also issues of starvation world wide, about which you are doing nothing.

I however, am putting my money where my mouth is. I support sustainable farming. I am working towards ending starvation. I also embrace all cultures including the hunters. I don’t choose to demonize people who prefer to eat meat. I’m in no position to ever judge any man on his eating.

I can however, judge him on his hypocrisy.

Vegans are welcome to my experiment, but just as I admonish the religious for attempting to recruit from my readership, I’ll admonish you to keep vegan attack rhetoric off my page. So don’t come here if you have a difficulty.

Save me the time and trouble of dealing with you.

I think you’ll find this at least a little bit amusing: about 2 months after we got my dog, he figured out how to open doors with lever-style handles, so we had to change Every Single Door Handle in the house to the round knob kind to keep him from just coming and going as he pleased. I always thought i wanted a smart dog but i didn’t realize how expensive they’d be.

You could have gotten handles with locks…or put little locking flaps above the doors. I’m partial to letting my dog wander. He’s not a prisoner.
