Re: Nice New Spread
Some people eat Marmite as it contains vit B which is good for the nerves but the salt is bad for the blood pressure. As a child I eat Marmite with peanut butter which I found tasty but it wasn't spread on thick in fact the flavour is so strong I do not know how anyone could eat it spread on thick a...

Re: Ideological basis for humanist vegetarianism?
Hello Rami Maybe the connection is that as we have only one life to live then we understand that animals have only one life to live also. I used to think more feminists would be vegetarian or vegan and a lot are but many are not. I would have thought that they would have made a connection with abuse...

Re: Should parents have the right to refuse...
Its difficult to know what to do. In my experience if the doctor thinks a child or a patient would not benefit from a certain type of vaccination they will say. Vaccinations have their downside but most people go along with them in the hope that things will be better healthwise. Some diseases have p...

Re: Eating meat may halt onset of dementia
Journalism has a nother problem too. Not so much the Scotsman maybe but certainly other papers. What they do is have a shock horror headline which draws people in then end sensibly. That may not be such a bad thing but in some instances people only remember the shock horror bits. One subject in ques...

Re: Eating meat may halt onset of dementia
My doctor says you can get B12 from pulses although I do eat Marmite. Good job this subject was investigated. I don't know if you have ever read a book called Fresh by Mark McNay. If you don't tun vegetarian you may at least stop eating factory chicken from supermarkets. Its a fictional book set in ...

Re: Aluminium
Thanks for the info So if we veggies boil up our beans with tomato juice which is fairly acid in an aliminuim pan then we are at some risk. So do we than as Humanist vegetarians lobby the vegetarian society to ask manufacuturers to make pans and pressure cookers from another material. Vegans etc do ...

Thats nice. Don't expect very frequent responses especially at first.

It is said not to be a good idea to use the vegetable water if the vegetables have been boiled in an aliminium pan (pot)
Aren't most pressure cookers aliminium and should we pressure manufacturers to make them of something else.
What does aliminium poising look like

Re: Tattooed
I was rather shocked about the Tatoo. I can tolerate tatoos as something other people do and I think they are safer than they were in Leviticus's time. I wasn't too happy with the Leviticus comment BHA made because although Leviticus is very bossy and mentions god the list of commandments are fairly...

Re: Why are some thoughtful people vegetarian and others not?
The orang utan will eat small mammals if the other food runs out. As higher primates we are capable of empathy so we are animals but we a also different because of the brain power we have. Its one of those things which cannot be resolved I suppose except to say that we are animals but a brainier typ...
