Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Help me understand something. I've heard things that I've possibly misunderstood and I'm looking for source information to prove this if I have understood correctly. If a person is riding a bike or walking but if their energy comes from eating animal products they can actually be less energy conservative than a person on a Vegan diet driving a Prius. Yes I know that might be to vague but if its true does anyone where I can find source information to be able to put some " bite " into the point? thanks for any and all help with this research.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I have never heard this point. I don't really like the assertion that vegetarians have to be conservative of their energy either; I am a vegetarian and have plenty of energy and feel no need to be frugal with it. I am much more energetic than the meat eaters I work with daily, and they will often comment on it. Good luck with your research, but just know this list is NOT a vegan only group, and we are not a research group. This list is for sharing delicious vegetarian recipes and general support for people curious about vegetarianism. We don't want people to get the impression that being a vegetarian or vegan is going to make them weak or have to conserve their personal energy levels. Thanks. ~ PT ~ , Joseph Puentes <makas wrote: > If a person is riding a bike or walking but if their energy comes from > eating animal products they can actually be less energy conservative > than a person on a Vegan diet driving a Prius. > > Yes I know that might be to vague but if its true does anyone where I > can find source information to be able to put some " bite " into the point? > > thanks for any and all help with this research. > > Joseph Puentes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I myself think this is a good point, as generally vegans are known to have more energy than some meat eaters. However I do work with meat-eaters and, although I'm mostly vegan, there are times when their energy levels seem higher than mine, so I think there is some room for argument there as well. You might check out this website though, although I'm not sure if there is an article here right off on this topic specifically: www.pcrm.org. If you don't find what you're looking for there, you might just simply do a google or Ask Jeeves search on it and see what you can come up with. Hope this helps and you find what you're looking for. --- On Wed, 10/22/08, ~ PT ~ <patchouli_troll wrote: ~ PT ~ <patchouli_troll Re: Walking or Riding a Bike???

I took this as meaning the Vegan conserves more environmental energy riding in the car than the animal product eaters even when riding a bike. Having to do with where their food comes from, the negative impact of animal product production on the environment. Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. It is my horrible english so sorry I didn't mean it the way you understood it and I can see your point I wasn't saying it clearly. What I mean is some folks want to lessen their carbon foot print by driving a Prius. What I was trying to say is that even if they walk I've heard that they will be contributing a significant amount of carbon if they are getting their calories from meat. Yes I agree with your assertion that we the Vegans/Vegetarians have more energy. At least I feel more energetic. sorry for my error in communication. joseph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I don't see a thing wrong with what you said, Joseph. I saw no reason for you to get that kind of reply, and I thank you for trying to bring something interesting to the board that we can discuss --it's nice to see a change of pace from the recipes on here once in a while. --- On Thu, 10/23/08, Joseph Puentes <makas wrote: It is my horrible english so sorry I didn't mean it the way you understood it and I can see your point I wasn't saying it clearly.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Oh! *lol* Sorry about that. I guess I read your comments the wrong way. I thought you were saying we vegetarians have to be more mindful of conserving our personal energy, not that we are mindful of conservation in general! hahaha. The written english online can be easy to confuse, but I think you did a fine job expressng yourself. The fault in understanding was obviously mine. Sorry about that. I agree with you, that vegetarians in general do think about the environment and their diets do help conservation. I still don't know how to help you with your research or hard data to support this, but good luck with that. ~ PT ~ Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal.
