Getting what nutritional value it can and pooping out the rest is just literally what eating is.

Getting what nutritional value it can and pooping out the rest is just literally what eating is.
- rcxdude 2y agoI think the point is in comparison to some animals, we don't extract the full amount of nutrition available in plants (which requires a much larger gut and more energy digesting).
- frankhorrigan 2y agoStill an absurd argument. We get a lot of nutritional value from plants and you still take shits after eating meat.
- 9991 2y agoAccording to the people who are on all meat diets, one’s volume and frequency of poop goes way way down.
- AlexandrB 2y agoWe generally don't eat the toughest parts of plants either. Seeds and fruits are not as hard to digest as many stems or plants like grass. Not to mention that we pre-process a lot of the vegetable matter we eat - either by grinding (e.g. flour) or cooking or both.
- monero-xmr 2y agoYes plant based food is often ultra processed and highly refined, which is typically what foodies argue is bad (except when it comes to their plant food).
- valicord 2y agoThankfully humanity invented cooking for this very reason. Progress is great, isn't?
