It was by adding meat to our diets that moved man from a nearly extinct species to dominant species of the world. Cooking food is part of that as well.
Instead of selling meals, make the basic meals you need free of charge, then make any "treats" super expensive. That would probably take care of most issues fairly quickly. Make food a regulated item... we all know sugar should be regulated like heroin as it is.
Before-bedtime burger? Blasphemy!Quote:

It's a bit too late for that. Since I was fighting off a cold before I got Swine Flu, I was taking Airborne every other day and that didn't keep me from getting Swine Flu.Quote:

Sounds like a great step inthe right direction in my opinion, but I'm not sure about cost yet.Quote:

Airborne did fight off my cold successfully, but it didn't stop Swine Flu.Quote:

Sugar? There isn't much of that out there any more. Instead, please regulate the hell out of high fructose corn syrup.Quote:

HFCS is sugar... just not cane sugar. All sugars should be regulated. Available only with a doctor's prescription or something similar, in highly regulated doses. ;)Quote:

Wow, that's some bad luck there. How did they end up coughing in your face?Quote:

She's a low talker. When I leaned in to hear what the hell she was saying, she coughed right on me. I didn't want to go to the emergency room, so I beat the flu with Panadol and lots of orange juice. We took our daughter when she got a fever on Friday though.
Confirmed: Tamiflu tastes like shit.
Edit: I hope you and your daughter get well soon!
Well, I do live vegetarian for 11 years now, and I never had any problems.Quote:

The reasons why many vegetarians do eat more often than people with a high meat consumption is that meat takes much longer to digest than e.g. a salad - that's also why carnivores usually have a much shorter intestines than omnivores: the stuff just sits there and rots.
Anyway, a fairer comparison would involve a full meal with potatoes or grain based ingredients (like rice, pasta, pizza, bread, etc.).
Actually, I read quite often that nutritionists confirm that you can live vegetarian without a problem, even raise your kids vegetarian (they wouldn't be fed meat until they're 8 months old anyway). - Whether or not your diet is healthy depends largely and unsurprisingly on the variety of the stuff you eat, and not whether you're vegetarian, vegan or omnivore.
Without prior cooking, it wouldn't even be possible to eat meat. The chances of dying from some bacteria or virus infection would be extremely high.Quote:

Kinda hard to survive in regions without much vegetation without cooking meat.
