Are vegetables really a requirement for health? I hate eating them, theyre disgusting and expensive, so a double negative. I've also heard theories that veggies arent even good for u anymore because of the amount of pesticides being used these days to keep up with the amount of production thats required to keep people fed
>to keep up with the amount of production thats required to keep people fedWe could feed the planet 2½ times over with the amount of crop we grow, problem is most of it goes to animals instead of humans.
No they're not. They "contain" phytochemicals similar to the micronutrients your body need but the twist is that they have a laughable % of your daily requirements, that cooking (most vegetables are inedible raw) eliminates basically most of it and they contain anti nutrients to negate whatever "benefits" they might have had. Not to mention that even minerals in plants are mostly not bioavailable, especially iron.This is without taking into account glyphosate and other pesticides and the estrogenic effects of some plants.Animals defense mechanism is running away or biting back, or being venomous. Plants are immobile so they're mostly venomous to organisms that are maladapted to eat them like humans.

>>77179219India
>>77179218>This is without taking into account glyphosate and other pesticides and the estrogenic effects of some plants.Which is ironic because imagine the amount of crop an animal goes through in its lifetime before arriving on your plate. Imagine the amount of pesticides and glyphosate is concentrated in there. A cow eats what 50-150 kg of feed a day? And I'm sure animal feed crops probably have even less strict rules when it comes to the use of chemicals. You're eating toxic meat.
The people who demonize vegetables all sell supplements.The people on this board who demonize vegetables never post body.Thats all you need to know.
>>77179228I wonder how long it will take for us to collectively unposion ourselves.
>>77179228That's solved simply by not living in a shithole. It's not an inherent flaw of eating meat as opposed to a rotten system. Without pesticides and heavy selection all of agriculture crumbles. And this is a very pathetic attempt at whataboutism btw shame on you >>77179235These jewish bi-polar tactics and appeal to emotion are very lame. You dont need either choices in your picture, both are shit and non-bioavailable. On the other hand liver is abundant in retinol (bioactive vit a not beta carotene that you flush down the shitter) and solves any vitamin A issues you might have.
>>77179218
>>77179255And I'm not even trying to rag on meat eaters per say. But once you fuck over the soil, the water and fill crops with pesticides, which is eaten by animals which is eaten by humanswe're so fucking cooked its not even funny>>77179275>That's solved simply by not living in a shithole. Like America?
>>77179216Try living with corn husks and grain stalks, retard.
Vegetables, spices, herbs contain antiinflammantory compounds and compounds that are otherwise beneficial for health. For example, quercetin (onion) chelates heavy metals and removes them from your body, and protects your testes from oxidative damage. Allicin (garlic) makes it harder for viruses to attach to your cells, is vasodilating, improves immunity via signalling, etc. Since they're antiinflammatory, they protect you from stuff like glycation, ldl oxidation, ROS, etc. If you eat lots of palmitic acid (animal fat), myritic acid (dairy), you will have high ldl. It will oxidize. Vegetables will somewhat prevent that. Finally, vegetables feed gut microbiota, that impacts brain health, mood, intestinal health.>>77179315Pesticides should be negligible for root veggies no matter the source. Idk maybe ameris manage to pesticide them anyway somehow.
>>77179275>no body postedThanks for proving my point.
>>77179214Explorers who lived with Inuit stopped eating vegetables and remained healthy
>>77179497The short time frame is not a reasonable duration to make a blanket extrapolation that Vegetables aren't necessary
>>77179556Some lived among them for over a decade if memory serves. Long enough in my opinion
>>77179680Agree to disagree
>>77179556More than enough, people swear that not consuming ample vegetables give you dangerous carences so this is perfect evidence that they're redundant.
>>77179275oh boy the ketoschizo is back
>>77179214Vegetables are not expensive you dumb drooling inbred fuck.
>>77179214No. The human body isn't made to digest lots of vegetables. It's why they recommended them to fatties because they fill your stomach up and rot so you don't get hungry. Your diet should be primarily meat, starches, simple carbs like honey, and very small amounts of fruits and vegetables.
>>77179744Nothing exotic was required. Steffanson and his colleague were studied in New York City and created an adequate carnivore diet with no seal meat. No need to get so upset lol
>>77179214Not really, no. However if you are going no vegetables, you absolutely need beans for a source of magnesium/manganese. Having a banana or two helps the potassium part of things as well.Vegetables are a scam. Meat/dairy/fruits/legume chads win again
>>77179214>they’re disgusting and expensiveWrong, they’re delicious and cheap if you’re not buying them from faggy boutique organic markets. They’re also good for you and anyone who’s been telling you otherwise has homeopathic boner pills to sell you. I think you’re just fat and don’t know how to cook.
>>77180011You should eat them anyways because it’s what your mom would want. What kind of man would want to disappoint their own mother?
>>77180021Your mom bought vegetables since your dad had a limp dick (from eating vegetables btw peer reviewed fact) to pleasure herself with an assortment of cucumber, carrots, eggplants... The eating part was just to not let them rot.
>>77179214Who's dog is this and why have I seen at least ten threads with a picture of him
>>77180021sir, why did you report my post for racism? we can't drop the hard R on fit anymore?
>>77180533You haven't so
carotenoids seem pretty important for the eyes, brain, and skin
>>77180539>the hard ryea you can't say the retard word here
>>77179214Those are some small hands they’d probably make my pulsating pink 7x6 inch cock look like that of an equestrian species. Gay little puffball dog btw
>>77180533Repetitive spam is almost always the trans browncel called kekke.Repetitive spam + "ketoschizo" faggotry is 100% kekke
>>77179214Man this post reads like a retarded manchild redditer that’s taking an interest in his health for the first time. What’s next? “Do you think the protein from beef is better than the protein from fish?” Lol
>>77179420>antiinflammatoryBaseless bs, they cause inflammation by themselves. Everything you mentioned is anecdotal, dubious or has been observed only in rats>vegetables feed gut microbiotaThey introduce new microbiomes and the pesticides and phyto toxins they contain kill your beneficial ones that would be used to digest eggs or meat etc having high microbiome diversity is bad
>>77180850Can someone give me a qrd on this kekke shit?
eat your veggies little guy
>>77179214I keep seeing this west highland terrier on 4chan and i absolutely have fallen in love with heram I being psyop'd? Is it some kind of secret fed messages? This is my first ever experience on 4chan where I feel as if I’m in the middle of the next big psyop like a new dog shitcoin
>>77180947>moxieWhat
>>77179214>theyre disgusting and expensive, so a double negative.They're not expensive. Fresh are usually cheapest, but frozen are very convenient and are basically ready to drop into your rice cooker, microwave or oven tray and cook in ten minutes or less.I like steaming in my rice cooker, while it cooks my rice and chicken. Whole meal cooks at once with two minutes of prep time, which is mostly washing rice, and 30min of cook time.
>>77180901You need fiber to poop. Apples also are a good source of fiber. Don't play around with not pooping regularly, you will regret it when you get constipated, are forced to purchase milk of magnesia and are stuck with a dried brick that will have you gripping the towel rack for dear life and a sphincter that takes weeks to shrink back to normal size.
>>77181043ah! you see! a regular brick! moxie! and above all, gusto!
