Grandma: Here's an article on different ways to get a kid to eat vegetables.
Michael: 1) With his nose held
2) With his taste buds removed
3) Under threat of death
4) With a forced feeding tube
Grandma: 5) Sitting in the time-out chair
Humans are omnivores, always have been, always will be. I continually hear vegans and vegetarians say we should eat like monkeys and other animals. What they forget is the fact that most mammals are omnivores, especially monkeys.
6) Don’t cook all the flavor out of vegetables.7) Let kids in the kitchen so they get a say in how the vegetables are prepared8) take them to a good salad bar and let THEM choose.
And most common pets are carnivorous, too (cats, dogs-even water turtles). While it’s possible to feed a dog a vegetarian diet, it’s not very healthy for him-ditto for a cat.
Insufficient protein causes all kinds of problems. If you don’t mind supplementing your vegetables with cheese or eggs, you’ll be healthier.
On the Karma side of the argument, remember even as we live, we are being munched on by an enormous variety of microbes, bacteria and parasites. When we kick the bucket, larger creatures might just have the opportunity to even the score for whatever we ate when we were alive. All kinds of flies, bugs, worms, birds, rodents, fish, etc. can feast on our flesh if we’re lucky enough to die somewhere outside of a hospital. I wonder if vegans plan on being fertilizer?
Krumbs: Yes , but dominion carries with it the responsibility for the care under that authority. Otherwise, those resources will be lost to the future.

No vegans and vegetarians are simply what happens when evolution works in reverse.

Clark Kent: I have seen my dentation – definitely that of an omnivore. Stop thinking you are wiser than God who created us.

God gave us dominion over the animals. He’s the one who told Peter in acts to kill and eat.
