Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: No, I reject the resolution.

Yes I am really an Evolutionary Biologist. Well, I am currently working on my doctoral dissertation, that is, but right now only hold an MS in general Biology.I used the dentition aspect of our physiological traits since it is a quickly identifiable one and is useful in a layman forum such as this, where time and space are constraints.And also it seems you did not bother to read my linked article from live-science. Since it elaborated on how carnivorous habits greatly aided us homo sapiens. http://www.livescience.com/23671-eating-meat-made-us-human.html But if you really want to delve deeper into some of the vestigial traits we have that allude to the fact that the genus homo was certainly evolved to be carnivorous, and that said carnivorous habits greatly aided our development, I can certainly elaborate.Most anthropologists and Evo Biologists believe that the carnivorous diet, and specifically the protein we obtained from it, was a key factor in enabling our brains to evolve the way they did. That is, it helped us get smarter and fostered growth in the reasoning and strategy-making areas of the brain: our neo-cortical areas; pre-frontal lobes and cortex.These are the areas of the brain we we were superior to our closest rivals, Neanderthal man, whom we narrowly edged out and surpassed when we met-up with them in Europe after leaving the African Savannah about 50,000 years ago.And make no mistake, we had some good luck as well. Neanderthal was not the brutish ape-man many believe. Their brains overall were larger, But not in the important areas. Which were helped, for us, by good old meat.What's for dinner?LOL.Check this out, a friend of mine I went to under-grad school with wrote it.........http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/99legacy/6-14-1999a.html

This link contradicts your statement about high meat diets. "We propose that plant foods containing high quantities of starch were essential for the evolution of the human phenotype during the Pleistocene."[1]
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: Yes, I agree.

Well congratulations on your career path, however, the argument about humans being carnivorous because of our incisors is still a weak argument.I read the article you linked, and unsurprisingly, it supported a vegan diet. The fact that it is suggesting the idea that a high carb or high energy diet is what caused the human brain to grow and achieve its current mass and developments completely supports a vegan diet. Vegan diets consist mainly of high carb/energy foods such as fruits vegetables, legumes and rice. You and the article you suggested are both indirectly supporting a vegan diet for anyone who has goals of achieving a higher cognitive development. Thanks for the history lesson though.
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: Yes, I agree.

Yeah. I only briefly mentioned the incisor thing, and it was by no means my main argument topic. It is simply a minor vestigial trait.The main sticking point is that we have seen from fossils and DNA research that our brains greatly expanded right after we learned to use fire to cook meat about 150,000 years ago. This is not a mere coincidence. After a steady and slow increase in brain size and development, it all of a sudden took-off, especially in the frontal lobe and neo-cortical areas, that greatly enable us to plan, strategize and reason.http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112334465
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: Yes, I agree.

Well this is ironic because I, also, only briefly mentioned how the incisor thing was a flawed argument.You seem to be missing the big picture here. Yeah meat helped us evolve and develop cognitively to our current state of mind. Does that mean that it was solely the fact that these foods were the products of animals that provided this benefit? Or could it be that the nutrients in those animal products are what did it?! Bingo! According to the livescience article that you,yourself linked in your previous post, it turns out that it very well is the energy providing nutrients in the animal products that is what caused our development. Now you must be thinking, what is it that might be more energy enriched than meat? Fruits and vegetables is the answer my friend. Your own articles seem to be proving a vegan diet to be superior than a meat eating one, yet, you only seem to be looking at the history of what meat has done for us.

Slapshot, I've already made clear why non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide. Animals, environment, health, and world hunger. "News Flash: we don't give a rat's ass." SlapShotWow, you don't care. Did you know that animal abuse is a felony according to the FBI? "FBI Makes Animal Cruelty A Top-Tier Felony To Help Track Abuse" [1]"I could care less if somebody is a vegan. And the vast majority of superbly physical fit athletes I've known have been Omnivores. Like me." SlapshotThe vast majority of humans in the world are omnivores. This are plenty of healthy vegan athletes. "Vegetarian diets are associated with several health benefits, but whether a vegetarian or vegan diet is beneficial for athletic performance has not yet been defined. Based on the evidence in the literature that diets high in unrefined plant foods are associated with beneficial effects on overall health, lifespan, immune function, and cardiovascular health, such diets likely would promote improved athletic performance as well." [2].As you can see from above vegan athletes are at least as effective as non-vegan."Most vegans don't get enough protein. " SlapShotPure myth. You only need about 10% protein from calories. Plenty of vegan foods have more than enough protein like oats and legumes. "You should get at least 10% of your daily calories, but not more than 35%, from protein, according to the Institute of Medicine." [3]."So I know what I am talking about when I tell you that personally I always felt weaker when I stopped eating meat completely. Oh, my cardio abilities and endurance might have gone up a couple ticks but I noticed by pure weight-room strength always waned." SlapShotThere is testimonial evidence to the contrary. [4]."Want proof? Look at our teeth. We have incisors used for tearing meat.Pure herbivores don't have these." SlapShot Wrong. Look at a hippopotamus' teeth. They are herbivores and have fangs."The hippopotamus (to avoid the contentious plural) also has the largest canines of any land animal, with two sword-like teeth that reach a whopping sixteen inches (40cm) in length. " [5]."Type: Mammal Diet: Herbivore" [6]."NO documented study has ever show a vegan diet to be more healthful than one that includes lean meat in moderation." SlapshotThat's a falsehood. "Vegan Men: More Testosterone But Less Cancer" [7]."It really belies your ignorance in he subject of nutrition and human biology." SlapShotAd hominem. "For Evolving Brains, a ‘Paleo’ Diet of Carbs" [8].Thank you for posting SlapShot, I look forward to your response.

Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: No, I reject the resolution.

The reason why I'm opposing this view it's because it violates our freedom as a human. Common sense, it's very important.....
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: Yes, I agree.

Freedom is important. Yet, there is a reason why criminals are chased down by police officers. When your freedom infringes upon another person's freedom, then the law often steps in. How is it fair or just for a person to consume lots of meat damaging the environment, consuming more than his or her fair share, and causing suffering to animals?
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: Yes, I agree.

If only people like you could see how it explicitly violates the freedom of the countless animals being brutally tortured and killed every day. But just because they are animals and not humans, that gives us the right to be able to dispose of them in any manner we'd like, is what you believe in I'm sure.
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: No, I reject the resolution.

Arteaga, bacon is the best. And no we aren't torturing animals as you've suggested, and if you don't like to eat animals/meat then be my guest. It's still your choice on what to eat, i would say that it is rather impossible for "vegans" passing this law successfully, such nonsense. Their are "Humane" ways of preparing meat contrary to belief.
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: Yes, I agree.

Stratos do you see the below video as humane treatment? [1]. Processed meats cause cancer, that includes bacon. "Breakfast lovers, beware. A new study found eating processed meats like bacon and sausage could increase your risk for deadly pancreatic cancer."[2].Over 99% of American meat is factory farmed [3]."“If you’ve ever shopped at Whole Foods, you may have seen signs posted in the meat department that say things like ‘enriched environment’ and ‘treated humanely,’” the organization wrote in a press release. “But what a PETA investigator documented at a Pennsylvania pig farm that supplies Whole Foods reveals that these signs are probably worth less than the recycled paper they’re printed on.”" [4]."Lethal injection can cause excruciating pain. Since the first lethal injection on December 7, 1982, over 1,000 prisoners in the USA have been executed by this method and it has all but replaced other methods of execution." [5].The idea of humanely killing a sentient being is a myth. A technique has not been developed yet. Humans are given the lethal injection sometimes suffer excruciating pain.

You do realize there are bacon flavored vegan foods and faux meats right? It was the white man's choice to own slaves 200 years ago does what your saying suggest that we shouldn't have questioned slavery back then and it should still be an ongoing act?Of course it is rather impossible to pass a law banning non-vegan foods in today's world, the general population shows an incapability of experiencing any significant sense of empathy for other human beings, what makes you think they would be capable of experiencing this for non-human beings? This doesn't suggest that we should not continue raising awareness for veganism with the hope that one day a law banning non-vegan foods will be prosecuted.I'll leave the "humane" argument for vegan.

Red meat is very good and especially cooked over a very hot flame. Ribeye is really the best cut of meat !

I'm sure human meat is very good cooked over a very hot flame as well, why is it that don't you eat that?

I am not a cannibal so your response does not apply here. Your next comment ?

Side: Yes, I agree.

outlaw60,I beg to differ. You said meat tastes good in the previous post. Then, another person said, "I bet human meat tastes good." This is a valid point. A food tasting good is insufficient to morally justify consuming the food. Also, human meat is unhealthy for humans to eat, just as red meat is.

Consumption of meat increases cancer risk. Enjoy your heterocyclic amines."Meat-cooking mutagens, including heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are formed as a result of meat cooking, preparation, and level of doneness and may increase the risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC)." [1]."Processed meat Processed meatwas classified as carcinogenic to humans(Group 1), based on sufficient evidencein humans that the consumption of processed meat causescolorectal cancer."[2]. "Meat Is Linked to Higher Cancer Risk, W.H.O. Report Finds" [3]."Remember two weeks ago when the World Health Organization said bacon causes bowel cancer and red meat "probably" does? That was a pretty bad day. Well, science is really on a roll lately, because now there's news that doctors at the University of Texas's MD Anderson Cancer Center have tied all meat to another type of cancer, of the kidney this time."[4].Links.1. http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/75/15 Supplement/836.short2. http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2015/pdfs/pr240 E.pdf3. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/27/health/report-links-some-types-of-cancer-with-processed-or-red-meat.html?_r=0 4. http://www.grubstreet.com/2015/11/grilled-meat-kidney-cancer.html?mid=wired

Let's see the whole world should take the view as you perceive it to be ? So all should be banned that you disapprove of ?

Conservatives are into banning dairy , eggs and meat worldwide ? I would like to see where the information is that they Conservatives want to ban these products worldwide !
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.

Yes, animal freedom is important too. There was a time when there was much greater gender inequality. I wonder if the same people who suggest human freedom is much more important than animal freedom think the same way about men and woman.
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: No, I reject the resolution.

Animal freedom?Naw....God gave us dominion over the four-legged beasts and the fish of the seas and the fowl of the air, remember? Way back in Genesis.Another reason to be carnivorous. Or, rather, Omnivorous! Better yet.People who really think that the animals we eats are sentient, that is, possess self-awareness and experience emotions need to study a bit more on the topic. Their brains have not developed, evolved to the point where this is possible. Now, this does not mean of course that we should be cruel to them. No, not at all. But when it comes to us or them, us getting that good lean and nutritious meat we need, the non-existent "feelings" of these beasts is gonna be put way back on that burner, amigos.And now a few words from our resident tree huggers......................LOL
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.

I eat meat because I don't like the vegan diet. I don't like any diet. I prefer meat and meat alone is what I prefer. Dairy also has alot of calcium. Meat has iron and protein.
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: Yes, I agree.

So you eat meat for the purpose of pleasure without thinking of all the consequences it provides, typical.
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.

I don't eat for pleasure I eat for survival.I do think of the consequences....Sometimes...Maybe...No.. What should I have said?And Typical? Typical what? You dissin'?
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: Yes, I agree.

No, you eat meat for pleasure. If meat was not pleasurable, you would not choose to eat it, given that there are an abundance of other foods capable of sustaining your survival. Typical, as in, a typical thing for a meat eater to say: you eat meat because you enjoy it, yet you don't think of all the negative consequences you're attributing to.
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: No, I reject the resolution.

No, I eat meat for the Protein and Iron, not for pleasure. I don't give a flying fuck if something is 'pleasurable'. How would you know what I would and wouldn't choose to eat, It's not like your the non-existent god...or a mind-reader..or a witch.
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: Yes, I agree.

Oh so you eat meat for the protein and iron even though you can easily get a sustainable amount of protein and iron from a plant-based diet and you can do so without all the harmful effects that meat not only does for the environment but to your body as well! You say you eat meat purely for survival yet meat shows increased risks in all cause mortality rates compared to a plant based diet. Yeah real good argument you have going on here. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4073139/

As for conservatives wanting to ban non-vegan foods, there are plenty of religious people who want to.[1]. George H. Malkmus for starters. There are also plenty of conservatives who are vegetarian. 7th day Adventists. "A well-balanced vegetarian diet that avoids the consumption of meat coupled with intake of legumes, whole grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables, along with a source of vitamin B12, will promote vigorous health.

Then they are not really conservatives if they want to tell the whole country what they can and cannot eat. Conservatives simply don't believe in that.
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: Yes, I agree.

Foratag, which side are you on anyways? Pretty clear I support banning of non-vegan foods.Conservatives believe in tell the whole country that abortion is wrong. Isn't that telling the entire country what they can and cannot do?
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: No, I reject the resolution.

Conservatives believe that abortion is murder. If they hold true to that belief, then they should try to get it banned as it goes against their moral values. If a person thinks it is wrong to kill, then why would they not tell someone to not have an abortion. But this is not an abortion debate, so lets drop this part, okay.

You oppose the consuming of red meat so it should be banned worldwide just because that's the way you view things ?

Yes, in the same way that I oppose the consumption of slavery and think slavery should be banned worldwide.

Red Meat should be banned because that is your view but should the whole world see your view ?
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.

Yes, in the same way that the world should see my view in that slavery is wrong and should be abolished. I'm continuing to use this human slavery analogy to give you a better understanding of where your "red meat" comes from, by the way.

I'm not sure if you're serious or not, please don't waste my time. I have not suggested that things which I don't like should be opposed to everyone, I simply suggested that things which unnecessarily remove freedom from beings should be opposed by everyone. Now, would you agree with that statement?
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: Yes, I agree.

Did you see my large argument with several links? There is many reasons for meat to be banned. Health, environment, world hunger, and animal suffering. Not only that but I supplied proof backing up my claims.
Debate: Non-vegan foods should be banned worldwide.
Side: No, I reject the resolution.

So banning all red meat would make the world a better place in your view ? What you disapprove of should be pushed on everyone world wide ?
