I assume you are aware that biological factors like tallness are a complicated mixture of environment and genetics?

Of course I know that; I'm not stupid.

I said that evolution/genetics is a silly thing to bring up when we're talking about the benefits of environment-affected tallness.

Well to be fair; you can't really seperate the two.

I just had a delicious steak, it was delicious. Despite the fact that ethically I really can agree with vegetarianism, and it makes sense economically as well, I just like meat too much to give it up.
You, friend, may be a meat addict. Please go with me to CA(Carnivorous Anonymous) and we can help each other give up our addiction. :)
I would like to join this group, it sounds like a good way to get lots of tasty meat.

Humans are far to polluted to eat safely. Good luck finding a free range human. What? Stop looking at me like I am crazy. ;)

I meant getting people's meat that they bought (with either money or the sweat of their brows or cunning or cold hard steel) then realized they shouldn't eat it, and them giving it to me.  mmm... second hand meat.

I wonder, did the two men live off a diet of pure muscle, or were other bodily substances like liver included?

If they did, that information is pretty dam important.

I might want to test an all meat diet for myself.

There was organ meat involved, according to the article, which is actually very important if you're going to do nothing but eat meat all the time.


Also keep in mind that this was in, what, the 1920s? Certain things might have been a little outdated. Would be interesting to try again.

yes, the article states as much. meat, fat, kidney, liver, brain. They also mention that a high fat intake is important for the diet to work, otherwise health issues arise after a few days/weeks.

The production of meat is dooming the world's ecosystems and draining it of freshwater.
See ya guys, I'm off to become vegetarian.

Curiously, it's mostly free-ranged cattle that's hurting ecosystems (mostly rainforests, which are burned down en-mass for a one-time shot at having a field of grass, which doesn't work for long since the rain washes nutrients away too fast.

Take that, PETA.  You're saving cows, but you're hurting the rainforests!  Mwuhahahaa.

PETA hardly even counts. They're just plain ridiculous by practically any standards.


But yeah, the issue there is that people focus too much on one thing. Sure, free-range cattle are good, but you still need to make sure your practice are actually sustainable. If you're just torching rainforest regularly, well, that's not going to work out.

Yeah, I don't take PETA seriously anymore.

PETA isn't good to use for any example.
