If you want to be fit, the best results I've had are to eat meat and vegetables, and not much else. Going fully vegetarian is just too joyless.

- codr7 7y agoYou need to eat animal corpses to feel happy? Could be worse, I guess. It's perfectly possible to cook great food with and without meat and dairy. But change is difficult, especially after clinging to this kind of BS for a while.
- thrower123 7y agoIf your ethics require it, fine. I've got no such hang ups. It's vastly easier to have a balanced diet if you don't restrict yourself from high-quality sources of nutrition.
- codr7 7y agoWhat is it about vegan sources that make them lower quality? If anything, they're higher quality since they're closer to the source; whatever you get out of meat has already been used once. Which is also why raising animals to eat meat is so wasteful.
- dang 7y agoPlease don't take HN threads further into flamewar, especially on ultra-worn flamewar topics. We're trying to avoid those here, because the discussions they lead to are always predictable and get nastier as they go along. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- codr7 7y agoI do realize I'm balancing a thin line by even touching the subject, but I have no intention of starting wars. I find it highly questionable to derive happiness from killing animals, and I think most people do once they find the courage to look reality straight in the eyes. If we can't even talk about it, how are we ever going make progress?
- dang 7y agoFlamewars on HN don't help make progress. Maybe talking to people in person would help.
