LOL at vegetarians in this thread.

BTW, how do u make a cloned cell grow into meat?

that's just like eating lies.

how do u define killing? killing plants also killing what

precisely. if we are omnivores we should be eating meat and veggies.

besides, many people become vegetarian without realising that they're actually malnourished

ur body doesnt do the balancing, u need to do the balancing itself. vegetarianism is troublesome as u need to go to great lengths to cover the gap left by omitting meat in your diet.

LOL do u even know how many types of protein are needed in our daily diet? do u know what combination of nuts and legumes to take to fulfill these requirements?

like i said, most people just want to go vegetarian and do not take into consideration the study needed to understand the types of food that is essential for vegetarians to maintain a balanced diet.

and when it comes to that, y go thru all the trouble when there's meat for u?

if at all possible, i believe cloning for food isnt needed as of now in the global food situation. not as much as GM anyway. it's somewhat...redundant to clone for food...

i believe you have confused the term Net Protein Utilisation with Essential Amino Acids. they are 2 completely different matters. Meat Sources generally provide a complete protein source which includes all amino acids (with different ratios). your figures correspond more to the NPU figures.

and speaking on the issue of egg albeit being a good source of complete protein with good NPU, not all vegetarians consume eggs. also, with the high fat content of egg, how many would a person need to consume to fulfill his/her daily protein intake? it wont be wise to disregard the fat content will it?

altho the NPU values for beef and chicken may be lower than egg, the quantity of protein which they provide with each serve make up for it. with the ratio of essential amino acids differing with different meats, it is still wise to consume different meats.

this as compared to a vegetarian diet where you have to balance a few types of nuts and legumes just to maintain good amino acid intake. this is not mentioning other nutrients that come with meat that will need to be compensated for, with just one example of iron.

it is known that the body absorbs heme iron better than non-heme iron. which means that you would have to take way more iron in a vegetarian diet just to fulfill the iron requirements.

there's a difference between GM and cloning

and this is a cloning thread so dont bring GM into this

question: is cloning the cows cheaper or is letting the cows mate by themselves cheaper?
