  1. Thanks for the input. I was thinking paying the tithing was the right thing but I have never had to pay such a large amount before.
  2. What are your opions about paying tithing on inheritance? I'm not really clear on this but want to do the right thing.
  3. There are a lot of other plant based foods with protein besides soy even though soy is a great source used in moderation. 1 cup of black beans have 30% RDA of protein. 1 cup of lentils have closer to 35%. 1 cup of rolled oats about 12%. 1 cup of spinach around 12%. 1/4 cup of peanuts has around 15%. This is just a small sample.
  4. Also the bible warns us about those who wish to impose strict vegetarianism on others. Did I try to impose strict vegetarianism on anyone? I still eat meat.
  5. These examples don't fit your model. http://www.whitesharkdiscovery.com/media/p...to02/gws103.jpg http://img.lenta.ru/news/2005/06/03/dinosaur/picture.jpg Gorillas have eyes in the front of their faces and they are herbivors. I don't think eye placement dictates what we are suppose to eat. We are also the only species that has to cook meat to eat it. True carnivors don't have to refrigerate their meat either.
  6. Meat is not the only place to get protein. You can get plenty of protein from a plant based diet. It seems people who say you can't get enough protein from a plant based diet didn't do much research into the matter. I've carefully studied the topic and as I cut out some of my meat and dairy I made sure I was eating more high protein plant foods. I'm not a vegetarian but close. Scott Jurek who is the 7 time winner of the Western States 100 Mile endurance run is a strict vegan. Scott also set the course record for the Badwater Ultramarathon last year (135 miles in death valley). I don't think he is lacking endurance.
  7. Personally I eat a balanced diet and exercise to control my weight. Weigth loss is not an indicater of a healthy diet.
  8. It seems to me that the WoW supports a more vegetarian lifestyle than what most LDS people live. I know we are not told to completly cut meat out of our diet but I think most LDS people eat way more meat than what we are suppose to. It seems to me we should be eating a plant based diet except in time of famine or when other food is not available. I have read things Joseph Smith and Brigham Young have said that seems to support a vegetarian diet but don't have the sources right now. I would like to get others view points on this topic.
