nothing like a plate full of uncooked greens...maybe with a little meat on top or to the side. i get more energy with veggies.

Human beings are a strange design. Our digestive system works best on a diet primarily of grain, fruits, vegetables and nuts. However we require certain enzymes that meat, fish and fowl provide for correct balance to our system. Our teeth are unique in that they are designed for both tearing (meat eating) and crushing (grain, vegies etc).

We are also one of the few (if not the only "animals") that continue to consume milk based products after being weaned as children (by choice).

I am a meat eater. But I do like specific vegetables regularly with my meals, and there is more green on my plate than red. (or read that as more cellulose fiber than cells).

Avoid complex sugars...not good stuff in any amount.

yah. not too much sugar.
Fried Alligator, frog legs and escargot make a nice tastey meal. Better then me being a meal to the alligator.

i love milk too. i think i heard recently that drinking milk with fish is ok to do. for years i heard that it was not a good combination.
salmon, dover sole, halibut, swordfish, mahi mahi, snapper, orange roughy, blue gill, perch, catfish just to say a few.

The only reference i know of to animal cruelty is: Proverbs 12:10



"A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel."

Their is also the story of Balaams donkey.

So i think the 'christian' thing is to not allow animals to suffer too much, whether using them for work (like a pack-mule) or for food.

i never knew that was in Proverbs. very nice find Robo. that verse means a lot to me. I always knew the bible had an answer for everything. i agree with the latter of what you say also.
