Just became a Lacto-pescetarianist

Astner · 07-29-2008

Since some time now I wanted to become a lacto-penscetarianist. A lacto-penscetarianist is like a vegitarian with the exception that the individual in question also eat fish and milk-related products.

Why? Well it doesn't have the usual, "I love animals" or "I hate vegetables" explanation. But I've noticed that each time I eat meat it becomes harder for me to think and concentrate (this is a general truth, "fish makes you smarter"). I also find the fact that they feed chickens, cows, pigs, etc. with growth hormones repulsive--not necessarely because I feel sorry for the animals, but that I feel sorry for myself when eating them.

Thoughts?

Protein - Fish, beans, peas, etc.

And I do drink milk.

According to Dr Shawn Somerset of the School of Public Health at Griffith University in Australia: "No study has proved that eating more fish will make you smarter."
So it is not true that the more fish you eat, the smarter you become. If this were so, then Eskimos, who eat perhaps the highest amounts of fish as any people anywhere in the world, would all be geniuses.

Books make you smarter, go read one about psychology because that bit about it being hard for you to concentrate the more meat you eat - it's all in your head.

Growth hormones given to animals will not harm you. All they do is make the animal grow faster, and the meat isn't as nutritious.

My thoughts: eat your dinner.

You sick freak, why don't you think about the plants? Plants are the most innocent of creatures, how dare you eat them! Sinful, disgusting animals must be devoured, we are doing them a service by digesting them.

I've always found it strange that some 'Vegetarians' eat fish. Fish is meat, wtf?

The more fish you eat, the smarter you may be according to 3 new studies published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Researchers believe that the powerful omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and seafood may have a strong effect on cognitive function.

It's impossible to prove that one becomes smarter just by eating fish, as there are many unknown out-side factors that has to be taken into account, but it's likely to make you more active.

Fish is by far more healthy than mammals/chicken due to the unsaturated fatty acids.

And don't accuse me for hypochondria just because you've read the study of a single doctor. While there are others that debates for the opposite.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here but growth hormones affect the animals on a cellular level--and there could be unknown side-effects.

Kurushimi · 07-29-2008

Seems like a good choice. I'd probably follow suit if I didn't find chicken, ham, beef, pork, etc. to be so appetizing.

Also putting hormones into your body can't be a very good thing.

TobiGoodBoy · 07-29-2008

Well I don't have anything against vegetarians. I can imagine it being hard to never eat some ham again.

Impossible, because it doesn't happen. What you eat doesn't make you smarter. It may make you healthier, but not smarter. Books make you smart, school makes you smart, etc...

That's nice.

I'd believe the study of a single doctor more than some kid using words like "this is a general truth" (according to you) "There could be unknown side effects", and "it's likely to make you more active".

Explain to me how eating fish makes you more active. It doesn't. I eat tons of fish and I'm lazy. For the last time, what you eat affects your health, not your personality or intelligence.

Doctor > You.

So are you going to be one of those guys who goes to McDonalds, gets a salad WITHOUT MEAT!

It might affect you in a way that makes it easier to learn, etc. When they say it's healthy and good for your body is good for your entire body, to which the brain is but a part.

Nov. 8, 2007 -- Eating at least 10 grams of fish per day may make for a sharper mind, new research shows.

Now I've contributed with two sources.

Not to mention that the source you provided also said.

Quote:

There is some evidence to show that poor dietary intakes or low blood levels of these omega-3 fats can result in learning difficulties, behavioral problems, and mental illness. This may indicate a strong relationship between eating fish and brain development.
Sixty per cent of the brain is composed of fat - but not just any fat. DHA and EPA are good fats. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is important for normal brain and vision development. The increased intelligence and academic performance of breastfed compared with formula-fed infants has been attributed in part to the increased DHA content of human milk.

Maybe skipping right to the conclution isn't the best solution.

I meant active mindset--not like, oh I ate samon now I feel like running kind of active. But yes, it's based on the kind of fat you eat.

Oh, and my step-mother is a medical doctor and even she agreed with that it was good for brain development. So yeah ...

Or simply get sushi.

A fried of mine considers herself a vegetarian...who loves to eat turkey! <_<
Could you honestly see yourself saying lacto-penscetarianist everytime someone happened to ask you what your food preferences were?

king omega · 07-30-2008

I try to eat and even mix of meat, and everything else. (fruits, veggies etc.)

I believe that since humans are at the top of the food chain that we should handle it resposibly(sp).

Hunting deer, pigeon and other animals that are rathar plentyful is fine.
So is humanly killing livestock(turkey, cow, chicken etc)

and btw KFC sucks I have had much better homemade chicken(that I made btw).

and don't even get me started on fucking PETA.(Please PM if you want to know my opinion on them and other related things.)
