Eat vegetables

Humans evolved as omnivores i.e with the biological ability to eat and gain adequate nutrition from a whole range of food sources / types depending on what was available, although I wouldnt personally include genetically / chemically adulterated or modified foods in that analysis.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnivore
I find all dietery approaches that say “ just eat x in order to be healthy“ and which thereby exclude whole food groups to be equally mad - whether x be meat, grapefruits, vegetables, bananas or chemical sludge. Restricting food groups for ethical reasons is different and usually comes with some health challenges that require more planning to ensure sound overall nutrition. Similarly the range of foods eaten within a particular category may be constrained by health conditions ( as with higher carb fruits and vegetables for diabetics) but that doesnt mean excluding an entire food group

They contain cyanide. I read a murder mystery my friend (a published author) where apple seeds were the murder weapon. 20 apple cores is the lethal dose - apparently

(wanders off, whistling innocently at having that knowledge)

20 apples? Nevermind the cyanide! How many carbs is that?! :joyful::hilarious:

Hopefully not ... don't they contain cyanide? I know they are toxic for dogs.

Now I do not need that

But I'll do it when I'm without good friends like you

Do not forget Snake venom is a medicine when we choose a mind
 
Nowadays I think of looking back at the way the human evolved is quite alarming to me that this keeps getting mentioned.

No matter how we were and surving a limited amount of years in the dark ages due to loads of factors... but our life expectancy has grown, as we evolved... so something in that evolution cycle was right..not just because of meds in last couple centuries,... something in us gained much better life expectancy...whether meat/veg...our generation will never know..

However, most concerning is the fact that life expectancy is turning now to decreasing...

I cant go for either meat/veg as cause of extending or meds... but for me I see processed foods as the demon..

There doesn't seem to be an edit function when using the website via chrome on my phone but there is when using a pc.

On my iPhone using the website via Safari (don’t get on with the app!) there’s a button that says ‘Tools’ if I click that I get three options, ‘Edit’,’Delete’ or ‘Report’.

I only get "Report".

I didn't know that and my dog likes an apple core. Apparently they are ok if you don't chew them, that's the seeds, not dogs.

I saw it on a poster in the vets waiting room, along with a few other things that are toxic. Many years ago we had a small orchard and my dog of the time used to help herself to apples off the trees. She loved them and ate the whole apple..
 
To get back to the original post, I don't know if vegetables are essential for nutrients but they are essential for me to add variety, texture and colour to meals. I love meat but I am sure it would become boring in a week without something to accompany it.
 
Since I have no experience in web design and Android applications I can say that the site is good in design either application has many disadvantages
