You know, the people who say they'll get proteibn from beans, their hardly right.

You need the fat for your brain to grow and stay healthy, you don't get it with milk or beans.

French fries. You can be a perfectly healthy vegetarian.

What makes bugs second-class to other animals?

And what about the nervous system? Is it because of pain? If so, then if we kill an animal painlessly, is that more okay?

Partially because of pain, yes. But also because nervous system usually = brain. Last time I checked, plants didn't have brains (correct me if I'm wrong, this was in third grade

), so they can't process emotions like animals can.

Then I'll make sure to only eat dumb animals or jellyfish - they don't have brains.

So the logic goes, if they're less like us, the more it's okay to kill them. Vegetarians and omnivores just draw the lines at different places.

I'm pretty sure a jellyfish is going to notice if it's being taken out of water and killed. 'Course I'm not a jellyfish, so maybe they really are stupid o.o

And Setekh, that's really frightening O_O

"They have a head end and a tail end. In the head end, they have a concentration of nerve cells -- where these cells are complex, we call it a brain."

Not saturated fats.

Fries won't make you healthy, but fat.

Yes, like burgers.

What about sushi? Hmmm?

That's cold.

And fish prevents cancer.

(Oh yeah, mods, please do not think this is a fight, this isn't, just a friendly debate. We do it all the time at school, and we are 10.)

...I happen to eat large quantities of french fries, and I'm not fat. I would be close to healthy if I didn't have medical problems.

Hm, Kyra, you mmight have a high matabolism, then.

That means the way your body uses the energy from your food.

That same article also stated that they <b>don't have brains</b>. It takes more than a concentration of cells to be a brain. There are certain requirements, though I cannot name all of them.

You can be a healthy vegetarian. It takes a little more work and eating some uncommon foods, but it's not impossible and people do it every day.

But they do think, it doesn't necissarly need to be a full-sized brain to let the living thing think and control the body.

Depends what you mean by "think". Control doesn't necessarily mean thought, especially complex thought.

jellyfish dont have brains.
they have nerve impulses and reactions, but are incapeable of independant thought.
except that jellyfish in that episode of the outer limits ofcourse.

People who eat meat, this is for you:

You can't eat meat AND say "OH! They can't kill and eat cats! ARGH! I wish I can kill them!" You wanna know why? You're eating chciken, beef or pork meat yourself.....You are a hypicrit (sp?) if you are like this.

And, no flames, I am just trying to prove a point.

It's "hypocrite".

It's "metabolism", and I think we all know what it means.
