"Fuck The Men (And Everyone Else Too)"
[Music || Willa Ford featuring May, "A Toast To Men" (Good and Evil Explicit Remix)]
Ahh, I wished my Philosophy professor gave me more to say today on our controversial debate on "Fur for clothing." I completely disagreed with a girl who said "Animals are okay to be used for clothing because we breed them to eat, so what's the difference with breeding them for clothing?" First of all, I did not state my stance of how I disagree with breeding animals for food. I decided to stay on topic and state that fur for clothing was completely wrong because people breed animal for food to consume them; a fur coat is for what? Making you feel beautiful? Don't give me that bullshit that it's "clothing to keep you warm" because in our age, there is SO MUCH more material to make a lovely coat that does not have to resort to the harm and cruelty toward animals. Second, there would not be "all these extra animals available for coats" if those freaking farms didn't breed them because of losers who buy the coats; therefore exerting demand for the product.
It makes me so angry when my professor didn't call on me to defend this guy who said "the human 'canine' teeth were made to eat meat/we have to eat meat to get the necessary protein." Okay, I've done my research in the great SGHS library. I didn't recall the information in class, but here's the necessary info to other ignorant peeps.
"The human body was not designed to catch or eat animals. You have no claws. Your teeth do not rend flesh. Your mouth can not seriously wound nor is it made to really get a good bite into an struggling victim like true carnivores can. You are not fit to run fast to catch prey. Meat-eaters have fast enough reflexes to ambush or overtake a victim. You do not. Try catching a pig or a chicken with your bare hands; see what happens." (More: Link on "the canine teeth myth")
Then some people in class started saying how vegetarians get sick more easily. The guy said that's why you see all these "sickly vegans" around. That was so offensive that my hand shot right up but I was not called on. Some girl who said she was a vegetarian agreed with it because she recently became sick. People get sick all the time, there is no significant proof that vegetarians get sick more easily. Another girl (vegetarian) disputed the claim by saying she was more healthy than ever. I am not going to side on other sides, despite I don't get sick easily (except when I moved out here in the freezing weather). I am just going to say, if a vegetarian's diet is the cause of your well-being, it is probably because they're not taking care of themselves or eating the proper nutrients. Take care of your body. The same goes for carnivores. There is no way "Vegetarians get sick more easily" is a fact; it applies to everybody and there are so many confounding variables with that stereotype.

MYTH: "Vegans are at high risk for Vitamin B12 deficiency."
FACT: McDougall: "B12 deficiency is rare… Two kinds have been observed. The more common is due to malabsorption of this vitamin as a consequence of diseased conditions of the stomach or of the small intestine. It has nothing to do with the amount of B12 present in the diet, so it is treated with injections of B12. The other kind of B12 deficiency is found very rarely among people who take essentially no B12 in their diet. Less than a dozen cases of this type of B12 deficiency have been reported among the tens of millions of vegetarians in the world. One reason it's so uncommon is that B12 is made by the bacteria naturally present in the human mouth and intestines.… [In addition,] the average American has stored so much B12 in his body's tissues… that twenty to thirty years must pass before you run out of it." McDougall notes that anyone with concerns about B12 can simply take a supplement on occasion.
