In fact, the most critical link for human beings to eventually evolve into the highest creatures on the planet comes from the evolution of the brain; the evolution of the brain benefits from more energy supply, and from vegan to the beginning Eating meat, this change has contributed to the increase in energy intake.
A number of scientific studies published in "Science" and "Physiology" have confirmed that long-term vegetarianism can lead to mental damage and it is difficult to recover.
At the same time, red meat can also provide humans with a DHA substance that plays a vital role in the development of the brain.
In my country in the 1980s, the health authorities conducted health checks on monks in monasteries across the country, and found that the health and life expectancy of monks were generally lower than the national average. Many monks suffer from various chronic diseases, which is the result of their long-term non-contaminated flesh. This also proves the objective fact that moderate meat consumption is in line with the human body and the laws of nature, and non-eating meat will indeed cause huge health risks.

Excerpts from the content:
Scientific research has confirmed that long-term vegetarianism can lead to irreversible diseases.
is a vegan diet. The first problem to face is insufficient protein intake . Among common foods, the protein content of meat is much higher than that of vegetables (even soybeans), and the human body has a higher absorption efficiency of animal protein.
Humans cannot do without meat
In addition, although vegetables contain a lot of vitamins, they still cannot meet all the needs of the human body. For example, vitamin B12 is rarely contained in plants, and vitamin B12 deficiency can cause health problems such as anemia and depression.
is easy to be vegetarian only iron deficiency . Plants only contain non-heme iron, which is relatively poorly absorbed by the human body, and the heme iron contained in meat has a higher absorption efficiency.
Choline is also a very lacking element in vegetarian food, and it is essential for brain health, especially during fetal development. A study published in a sub-issue of the " British Medical Journal " stated: Excessive vegetarian diet may lead to insufficient human choline intake ,Affect the brain health, if it is a pregnant woman, it will also endanger the fetus. The foods with the highest choline content are animal diets such as eggs and meat.

Of course, there are many celebrities, even professional athletes, who are vegetarians, but they can still maintain good physical condition. , What is going on here?
Because they have a professional nutrition team. With careful matching of recipes, a vegan diet can also ensure a balanced nutritional intake.
For example, in order to make up for the lack of protein intake, vegetarians use a lot of soy products and whole grains. In order to supplement trace elements, they need to take in certain nuts and seafood; in addition to "food supplements", vegetarians I also use nutritional supplements to supplement vitamin B12 and other nutrients that are very low in vegetarian food...
Ask yourself, do you have their professional team and self-discipline?
Moreover, even professional vegetarians may not be able to guarantee a balanced nutritional intake.

excerpt:
Why is this? Why are the tall Indian soldiers,Is it impossible to compare with bare hands or cold weapons?
There are many reasons, such as individual equipment and training. In addition, there is another important reason, because their religious beliefs will also cause a general decline in their physical fitness.
There are 1.3 billion Indians and 95% of the population are religious believers. The country is known as a paradise of religions, but it mainly believes in four religions. One is Hinduism, the most mainstream. The religion regards cattle as its fetish, so believers cannot eat beef. There is also a religion that they can’t eat pork. There is also faith in Sandmon. Salmon emphasized that it is absolutely impossible to kill, so all animal meat in the world cannot be eaten. The last is to believe in Manichaeism , and it does not eat meat.

The reason why people have to eat meat is the result of millions of years of natural evolution. The desire for meat is as deeply rooted in human DNA as the sugar addiction. Because meat contains various nutrients, it can provide energy for humans. These nutrients can't be supplemented by fruits and vegetables at all, not even milk. Once there is a lack of meat, a person's physical strength and endurance will decrease. Moreover, eating meat is good for the human brain. Scientific research has found that people who eat meat often have a much higher brain flexibility than vegetarians who do not eat meat. Simply put, people who eat meat are smarter. The exchanges between soldiers are actually fighting for wisdom and strategy, and smart people can often defeat those "stupid big guys."

Think about it, Indian soldiers refused to touch the meat in their staple food because they were bound by supernatural beliefs. Can their physical strength and endurance be good? If their physical strength and endurance can't keep up, the individual combat effectiveness will also lag behind.
In my country in the 1980s, the health department conducted health checks on monks in monasteries across the country.The results found that the health and life expectancy of monks in were generally lower than the national average .

If it weren't for Meiji Restoration, the famous Japanese enlightenment thinker Fukuzawa Yukichi strongly advocated eating meat to the emperor to change the Japanese dietary structure and enhance the health of the country, may be after Japan The results of wars with neighboring countries must be rewritten.
In 1870, Fukuzawa Yukichi wrote in "The Theory of Meat Food": " Nowadays, we Japanese people lack meat, which is not a way of keeping good health. Therefore, there are not a few people who have fallen in power. This is a country. ”
A century and a half have passed, and the amount of meat eaten by Japanese people has risen sharply. According to the statistics of 's Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 2009, Japan eats 45 kilograms of meat per capita each year, ranking 73rd in the world, which is in the middle level. Like Japan, with the improvement of the economic level, Chinese people eat more meat. The average annual meat consumption in China is 60 kilograms. However, the people of our special zone eat meat more fiercely. Hong Kong people eat 134 kilograms of meat each year, ranking second in the world, second only to Luxembourg ; the people of Macau, separated by water, are not far behind, eating 97 kilograms of meat each year, ranking 13th in the world.
Human evolution relies on eating meat
Regardless of religious and political factors, from anatomical and physiological structure, in fact, human beings are not suitable for a vegan diet.
Herbivores tend to have very long intestines. The reason is that it takes much longer to digest high-fiber foods than meat. The length of the intestine of a horse is about 27 meters, which is about 9 times its body length. The ratio of intestine to body length of other herbivores is also about 10 times, which is much higher than that of carnivores.
What carnivores (and insectivores) eat every day is relatively easy to digest. Their gut/body length ratio is generally between 2-6, while the total length of human intestines is about 9 meters. The /length ratio is about 5, which is also in this range.
is not only the length, but the intestinal structure of herbivores is also much more complicated than that of humans. Large herbivores, such as ruminants such as cattle , have four stomachs in their digestive system. The first three stomachs (rumen, honeycomb stomach, double stomach) are actually deformed esophagus. There are a large number of bacteria for fermenting food, but they do not have the function of secreting gastric juice. Only the last abomasum is the real stomach. Can secrete hydrochloric acid, pepsin and chymosin.

As a member of primates, humans do not have such a complicated stomach structure, and some herbivore-specific structures have gradually degenerated over millions of years, such as cecum . There are not too many cellulose-rich plant stems and leaves in the primate diet, and the cecum, which contains a lot of bacteria, is not needed to digest cellulose, and naturally it will slowly degenerate.
In fact, the most critical aspect of human beings’ ability to eventually evolve into the highest creatures on this planet comes from the evolution of the brain; the evolution of the brain benefits from more energy supply, and from vegan to Starting to eat meat, this change has contributed to the increase in energy intake.
about 1.5 million years ago,Humans start to eat more meat. As the meat starts, human digestive organs gradually shrink and the brain gradually increases. The brain is a high-energy-consuming organ. 1 gram of brain tissue consumes about 20 times the energy of 1 gram of myocardium and liver tissue. Without the supply of a high-energy diet such as meat, it is difficult to evolve into a more developed brain.
Compared with chimpanzees, humans need 3 times the energy to maintain the normal functioning of the brain-in the resting state, the energy consumption of the chimpanzee's brain only accounts for 8% of the body's metabolism, while humans are as high as 25%.
All harms but only one benefit
Today, thanks to the highly developed agriculture and food industry, middle-class vegetarians can eat a variety of fruits and vegetables.
For adults, choosing a vegetarian diet is mostly in the hope of improving health and prolonging life. The fat content in a vegetarian diet is much lower than that of meat. If a large amount of fat is consumed all the year round, the serum cholesterol concentration will increase and blood vessel walls will form plaques, leading to coronary atherosclerosis , and eventually angina or myocardial infarction . Low-fat diet is indeed helpful for protecting the heart. Studies have shown that compared with normal people, the mortality of ischemic heart disease of vegetarians is reduced by 24%.
However, in other diseases, the vegetarian diet does not bring more help. Vegetarian diet will not reduce the mortality rate of several other serious diseases. In 1999, according to the results of five prospective studies involving more than 70,000 people, vegetarians and non-vegetarians had no mortality rate in terms of cerebrovascular disease, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. Statistical difference.
By 2016, scientists at University of Sydney conducted a larger study. They counted the dietary structure and health status of more than 260,000 people over the age of 45. The results show that vegetarians have a healthier lifestyle, and vegetarians (including vegans, semi-vegetarians, and fish-eating vegetarians) have lower rates of smoking, alcoholism, and obesity. However, after adjusting for confounding factors, Vegetarians and non-vegetarians have no significant difference in the mortality rate of various serious diseases, and the vegetarian diet itself does not help reduce all-cause mortality.
does not consume any meat, eggs, milk, and maintains a vegetarian life through a combination of pure grains, vegetables and fruits. This dietary structure will not be a big problem for adults, but may affect the development of children There is a big problem .
Vegetarian food is a big problem for children's development
From the point of view of calorie supply, there is no problem with pure meat, vegan or omnivorous food-you just have to eat enough. The health problems caused by a vegan diet come from the lack of certain specific nutrients, such as vitamin B12.
Vitamin B12 (VB12) is mainly found in meat, and most fruits and vegetables do not contain VB12. As the last B vitamin discovered, VB12 has two main physiological functions, one is hematopoiesis, VB12 is involved in the production of red blood cells and prevents pernicious anemia; the other is neurodevelopment, and VB12 is involved in the nervous system. The formation of lipoprotein to maintain the health of the nervous system.
The long-term lack of VB12 may affect attention and mood at first, and may lead to pernicious anemia and further neurological damage in the long term.
For people who do not eat meat, the lack of VB12 is a very real problem. Statistics from the American Vegetarian Association show that 47% of semi-vegetarians (not eating meat but eating egg and milk) and 92% of vegans suffer from VB12 deficiency without supplementing VB12 or multivitamin tablets.
Eating meat is also essential for brain development, especially for children. According to a two-year study involving 544 children in Kenya, if children eat two spoonfuls of beef a day, the weight of these children will increase by 400 grams compared with the weight of other children without supplements.The upper arm muscles have increased by 80%. More importantly, these children performed better in intelligence tests, problem solving and arithmetic, were more active in the playground, more talkative, and showed better leadership skills.
Children still have to eat more meat. ／Pinterest
is not only VB12. In a meatless or meatless diet, there is a lack of iron, zinc, calcium and a variety of fat-soluble vitamins . These may have profound effects on children. Vegetarian parents should be aware that lack of nutrition can lead to poor development of their children, and it is undoubtedly immoral to force their children to instill their strict vegetarian diet.
However, many web pages written by Buddhists and vegetarians often see articles such as "The smartest kids in the world are vegetarian" and "Amazing! The average IQ of vegetarian children is as high as 116!" spares no effort to destroy children.

Why do people kneel?
Throughout the history of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, where ignorance is broken, there must be a new technology, new culture, and new theory to replace it, and this new element must bring people greater benefits than the previous ignorance. . So far, there is no reason to prove that eating dog meat is ignorance, because not eating dog meat does not bring new benefits to mankind (all benefits are ultimately for the continuation of the human species). Therefore, not eating dog meat is a one-sided emotional preference caused by a person's love for dogs, and has nothing to do with ignorance and civilization.

Why do we always emphasize the need to develop technology and social productivity? It is not for humans to eat better, to dress warmer, to be more organized, and to have better medical conditions, which will be more beneficial to the genetic continuity of the human race. Not to mention high-level animals like humans, even a simple living body like the lowest-level bacteria, its instinct is to copy and transmit its own information. Why do bacteria parasitize? Why have various consequences for other organisms,In fact, genes are making various attempts behind the scenes, and these attempts are ultimately aimed at spreading genetic information better. The greater the spread, the farther, and the more complex it is, the less likely it is to become extinct. From this point of view, all living organisms in the world are "delivery vehicles of genes." The ultimate goal of all the behaviors of life bodies in the universe is to continue genes more successfully. It can be said:
Any behavior that is beneficial to gene replication and stable transmission is progressive and civilized. Any behavior that is not conducive to the continuation of genes is reactionary and anti-civilization.
The spread of the so-called "no dog meat" concept is essentially a Western cultural aggression. Why are Westerners right? What is civilization? According to the dictionary's interpretation, civilization is a collection of all social and natural behaviors that free human beings from barbarism. Then a good social order belongs to civilization. In Confucian 's "The Analects" and other classics, a lot of space is used to describe how to become a gentleman, because a gentleman is the cornerstone of maintaining a good social order. In a state of normal social order, everyone respects and abides by the law, knows not to hinder others, not to harm the interests of others, in the final analysis is to create a good social environment. Why a good social environment is important, because it is beneficial to the reproduction of the population, that is, beneficial to the genetic inheritance of the human species.
Stills of Confucius
Specifically, the behavior of eating dog meat is just a normal eating process, no different from eating other types of meat. If humans are eating a certain kind that endangers the ecological balance of nature, or is not guaranteed in terms of safety, resulting in animals and plants that carry toxic and pathogenic bacteria, and then endanger human health, this is called barbaric eating behavior. For example, eating owl, pangolin and other beneficial animals, or eating betel nut that carries toxicity, germs, and parasites, snakes, mice, bats, civet cats, groundhogs and other animals and plants, or some Poisonous insects,This is called barbaric eating and deserves criticism. Because these behaviors will have a negative impact on human survival. And most of the dog meat that people eat is raised in dog farms, and the safety and quality can be guaranteed. How could it be "barbaric"? The real progress of social civilization is that mankind has a safer food choice. At best, we can say that the act of "dog stealing" is barbaric, but we have no right to say that dogs raised on a normal food kennel are barbaric.
Groundhogs are the root cause of the "Black Death"
There are only barbarian heads, and they will be confused about morality, right and wrong, and have to follow the rhythm of Westerners.
"
Some people want to frame the rights of all mankind
I think as long as the meat of this animal does not endanger human health and does not bring negative impact to human survival, even if there is only 1 in the world Individuals like to eat and are willing to eat, and 7 billion people on the opposite side do not like to eat, we have no right to deprive this one person of the right to eat dog meat.
Even if dogs are the companions of some people (not all humans), no matter how cute they are (of course, cuteness is only part of pet dogs), even if you love dogs how much you love and feel uncomfortable with others eating dog meat, But human rights are the first .
If we make an exception today and really ban the eating of dog meat by legislation, there will be more follow-ups tomorrow, and cases of trampling on human rights will happen frequently. If everyone only relies on personal preferences as the starting point and seeks to change the law to satisfy their own selfish desires, then the world will eventually fall.
For example, in a certain country, a certain sect group that is stubborn in the doctrine of the scriptures will require national legislation to prohibit eating pork based on their own preferences. And another ethnic group that regards cattle as a fetish, I am afraid that they will clamor for legislation to ban beef eating. Everyone learns everything, and in a while, legislatively prohibits eating dog meat.For a while, the legislation banned eating pork, and for a while, beef was banned. Finally, humans were forced to put themselves in a "cage", unable to move. At this time, how can people's most basic right to life be guaranteed? It's best to drink Northwest Wind together.
Regarding some people saying that not eating dog meat is a symbol of social civilization and progress, I think this is a century of lies. Is a lie that has been repeated by thousands of people for many years and then becomes the truth? The real progress of social civilization is the improvement of productivity and the level of science and technology. On the question of whether dog meat can be eaten, as long as dog meat does not cause harm to human health, there is no problem eating them. Only eating certain animals that may bring potential or direct harm to human health and carry a large number of germs is an uncivilized way of eating.
Drug use is harmful to human health and naturally should be strictly prohibited, but what is wrong with eating dog meat that brings health and happiness to people? Is the dog meat stolen? No, it comes from a farm. Does dog meat carry deadly germs? No, they are safe. After eating dog meat, will human society lead to war? No, everyone is happy to eat dog meat, which increases the rapport and enjoyment. In that case, why do you say that eating dog meat is uncivilized? In my opinion, it is just a part of people's self-love, putting their personal preferences above the dignity and rights of all mankind.
Dog Meat Hot Pot
Some friends pointed out that this time a certain department only said that “dogs are prohibited on breeding farms” but “do not blatantly directly say that eating dog meat is prohibited”. However, I think there is no legal basis even if the prohibition of keeping dogs on the farms. Just starting from the personal preferences of a group of people, to prohibit others from raising it is a kind of moral degradation, and it is a huge retrogression with reason, morality, and law. We must be vigilant, Today, some people try to "prohibit keeping dogs on farms", which is actually paving the way for a total ban on dog meat in the future. If we don't stop them, our children and grandchildren will be put on heavy chains in the future, and they will be struggling!
