You can't conclude it's better to eat meat because it can :run away. : I see you have missed the point completely. The point was apparently: Assertion: "All in all it's better to eat meat" Justification: "animals generally defend themselves by running away rather than producing toxins" A dumb syllogism with a false conclusion. :Meat is higher up the food chain for one thing - and thus will concentrate :environmental toxins. : But not pesticides, because they are biodegradeable - a requirement. Please don't publicly spout mis-information like this on health topics. An estimated 88% of all pesticide residues resident in food are found in meat and dairy products. Numerous pesticides are concentrated in animal fat. E.g. see: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...&dopt=Abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...&dopt=Abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...&dopt=Abstract Here it is in plain english: ``Beyond reflecting long-term energy balance, [adipose] tissue offers a relatively stable depot of triglyceride and fat-soluble substances, such as fat-soluble vitamins, and pesticides. As a tissue it represents the greatest reservoir of carotenoids in the body. Halogenated hydrocarbons may be measured in concentrations of hundreds-fold greater than those in blood of the same individuals.'' - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...&dopt=Abstract "Halogenated hydrocarbons" are typically pesticides and herbicides. -- __________ |im |yler http://timtyler.org/ |
