Hitler was not a vegetarian, it’s an urban myth.

meat is just a much faster and wholesome way to get protein. this is because

a) meat has more protein per gram
b) meat contains all the amino acids required by our body, vegetarian food only contains a few of them..meaning you need to eat lots of different types of veges to get them all in ur diet. the problem with this is that not all vegetables are high in protein

a much simpler solution is to eat meat for the recovery. to think that barker survived as he was a vegetarian is stupid and disrespectful to his dead friends. Who knows, maybe barker was not in close proximity to the fire, in comparison to his friends. Seating arrangements would be the likely explanation to why he survived. God your dumb erin to think vegetables help you survive in a fire..let me guess…high fiber in your gut somehow helps you survive. Bahahaha.

i respect barker immensely, i only came across this as i was googling him..i dont wanna get into the meat vs vege arguement. But i have been taught this by people with phd’s. Also a problem with eating only veges is that your iron is essentialy non-haem while iron from meat contains haem (basically the stuff that transports oxygen in blood). thats why vegeterians often have iron defeciency – another reason why he probably decideed to eat meat during this period..im sure hes probably bak to his vege diet so i guess you guys can rest easy…

F-ck you you f-cking self righteous f-cks. People eat meat because it tastes f-cking good. Who the f-ck cares? We’re f-cking tired of hearing your stupid @ss rants on why you’re right or better than the non-veges. Just shut the f-ck up and eat your sprouts.

And for all you non-vegan vegetarians, you’re going to hell for not fully committing to the cause.

I’ll weigh in here. Not sure what his exact situation is but I’ve been vegan for years and vegetarian most of my life and I’ve never had to take a protein supplement to get my protein. Something seems amiss here. He may not have been a health vegetarian (the I don’t eat, legumes, beans, tofu, etc) kind and therefore needed to change his diet and was guided by those unfamiliar with a healthy vegetarian diet. I’ve had a few vegan/vegetarian friends who have gone through major surgery (for various reasons) and not once was their diet questioned. In the case of one of my friends, the doctors actually attributed her quick recovery to her healthy diet (she’s vegan). Everyone’s different I guess.

However he heals, I hope that he has a complete recovery. What an ordeal.

I am sure it was difficult for Travis to begin eating meat. This whole ordeal is hell for him! How can anybody critcize him for eating meat to be healthy and heal faster? Do the people who condemn his choice have any clue what is like to be so badly burnt? How can they judge! I have huge respect for Travis for being strong enough to fight this! I expect that dying would have been the easy road for him! Give the man a break an honor him for his courage instead of making judgements against him for trying to heal!

I guess Claire hasn’t considered evolution.

Out of interest, how many vegans here grow all their own food?
