quote: Soy "chicken" and soy "beef" are disgusting. Fresh soymilk and tofu, on the other hand, are delicious. I am not a vegetarian, but I am very particular in my animal protein consumption and I eat a lot less now than I did growing up.
quote: Actually, some of the healthiest, most long-lived people on the planet are Okinowans, and they eat pork and fish almost every single day. (also a LOT of vegetables) And if you don't want to eat the chemical-laden animals, buy meat from naturally-raised animals. A lot is available these days. And as far as "diseases contained in animal flesh", the latest mass food recall in the states was E-coli-tainted bagged organic spinach. It seems that the fertilizer they were using (cow maure) wasn't sufficiently decomposed. Veggies can kill you, too.

quote: That's crap. I live on the border of Vermont. I can buy organic, BGH-free, unhomogonized milk from small family farms with healthy, unstressed cows. It is incredibly delicious and perfectly good for you (as long as one isn't lactose intolerant, of course.) There is also the lovely cheeses to be made from all sorts of milk.

quote: No, it doesn't have anywhere near the kind of flavor rubber does. The best chocolate mousse I ever had was one made with silken tofu-which is essentially flavorless, so it allowed the high-quality chocolate the chef used to really shine through. But anyway, I LOVE chewy tofu.
quote: Might be tasty, but I doubt very much that they taste anything like real chicken or real fish or real beef. Especially the beef. I don't like the idea of food that's been forced to try to pretend to be something it isn't and cannot hope to be anything like. It's dishonest from a culinary perspective; if you want to eat vegetable protein, then eat it, but don't try to dress up tofu with stuffing and gravy and pretend that it is turkey. It isn't. It isn't even close. If you gave up eating meat, then eating "pretend meat" is just a silly way to want things both ways.

I eat Boca Burgers sometimes, which are supposed to be like beef burgers.
They taste good, but they don't taste anything like beef.

quote: Well, that's why it is important to actually read the sources you use to support your arguments. (FYI, not everything that people post on the internet is true.)
quote: That's not the methane that would be captured. The methane (biogas) production from farm animals is produced from the decomposition of their waste, not from the gas they release themselves. (And cattle don't release the methane by farting, but by belching)

quote: Not true. You don't have to mine to get wind. You don't have to do any complicated "enriching" of the wind to make it useful as energy. You don't have to deal with dangerous radioactive spent fuel rods. Wind doesn't cost anything and is 100% renewable.

I just don't get that thing with Edwards and the expensive haircut.
I mean, Bill and Melinda Gates run the largest endowment charity in the world, and I don't see anybody demanding that they sell their mansion and move into a basement two-bedroom apartment in a complex on the ourskirts of Pierre, SD.

My original point, of course, was that windmills and nuclear reactors are not really equivalent as far as environmental impact, as far as we know.

quote: Just how many of those websites are legitimate, and how many are wacko wingnuts who start frothing at the mouth at the mere mention of the Clintons? Hell, I got 1,170,000 google hits on a search of God hates Republicans. Does that mean it is true?
quote: All the better, wouldn't you say, to use a gangsta rapper's money to work against prostitution and violence? But anyway, that's not the kind of hypocrisy we're talking about. We are talking about a politician being caught engaging in activities they specifically try to pass legislation to ban or restrict, or that they particularly condemn. Much more direct than "turning a blind eye", which was your example. Clinton didn't engage in international prostitution.
quote: Really? How so?
quote: Actually, she is mostly running on her own tremendous success as a very popular and skillful Senator from the state of New York.
quote: If they are all hypocrites, then so is Arnold. He's just as bad, right? Arnold is well-meaning but doesn't have what it takes to be a good President. Kind of like the Shrub. ...except for the well-meaning part.

quote: You are making a meaningless comparison, buz, as I have explained many times to you in the past, but that you apparently have never learned. Where are the detailed records of how many people have used herbal drugs, why they have used them, what the dosage of the active ingredient was, how long they took the drug, what the side effects were, if any, and if they were helped by the ingestion of the drug or not? The reason we know about the deaths and injuries from conventional drugs and treatments is becasue doctors and pharmaceutical companies are required, by law, to keep lots and lots of records of the sort I mentioned above. Unless you have similar records of herbal drug use, you have no idea if the rate or percentage of injuries and deaths is greater or lesser than that of conventional medicine. Also, you have consistently ignored the fact that, as conventional medicine including vaccines has advanced and use of folk or herbal cures has receded over the last 500 years or so, overall health and lifespan has improved dramatically. So Buz, where are the detailed results of the tests comparing the people who took an herbal medicine compared to those who took a synthetic drug? What about those who took a herbal medicine against those who took a placebo? Where are the results of tests to show what the effects are, both positive and negative, of botanical chemicals that people consume in herbal teas and in pill form in the hopes of curing an illness? Untill you can provide that information, your comparisons are meaningless.

quote: Yeah, buz, the plant growth on your little plot of land in New York state is the only measure anyone ever need use to see if carbon levels on the entire planet are causing problems. Bloody hell, why does anyone ever bother consulting climatologists, ecologists, or any other highly-educated expert since you, Buzsaw, clearly know better than they do?

Rat, are you going to demonstrate how Hillary is engaging in international prostitution?
Are you going to demonstrate that she is a liar?
