I don’t know about the rest of you out there, but I don’t like to eat fecal matter. If you’re eating meat, you are undoubtedly eating feces. Feces belongs in the toilet or used for fertilizer, not human consumption.
Wondering why you get sick so often? Why you have about 20 nasty colds per year? Why get get those stomach viruses? Why you get sore / strep throat? Why you have no energy? Why you are tired all day long after 8 hours of sleep?
Well, I’m sure it has a lot to do with meat consumption. It’s bad enough that you cells are being invaded with toxin-riddled flesh, now your body has to deal with animal waste on top of that! Phew….
Would you sprinkle dried pellets of human feces on your salad? No, I don’t think you would. But you may as well, since you’re already enjoying plenty of feces every time you bite into a juicy hamburger or rip a part some “mouth watering” steak. Think about that the next time you consume some animal flesh.
Washington, D.C.-A new study shows that 84 percent of adults have no idea that the primary source of salmonella, campylobacter, E. coli, and other foodborne pathogens on poultry and meat is animal feces.
The survey of 1,000 men and women was completed during the period of July 26-29, 2001, by Opinion Research Corporation International on behalf of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). Foodborne illnesses are at epidemic levels in the United States; the Centers for Disease Control estimate there are at least 76 million cases each year, usually from consumption of animal products.
“Our findings show the vast majority of Americans do not understand there are feces on meat and poultry,” says PCRM staff attorney Mindy Kursban. “In fact, there’s a major disconnect in the public consciousness between the foodborne illnesses that sicken so many of us and their originating cause: animal excrement.”
Survey respondents answered the following question: “When salmonella and other disease-causing bacteria are found on meat and poultry, which of the following do you think BEST describes where these bacteria originally came from?”
The answers were as follows:
“They [foodborne pathogens] came from animal blood.” [10 percent] “They came from dirty hands.” [19 percent] “They are naturally present in the meat.” [17 percent] “They are naturally present in the animal’s skin.” [9 percent] “They came from animal feces.” [16 percent] “They came from dirty air in a slaughter house.” [15 percent] Didn’t think any of these were the right answer or didn’t know. [13 percent] Doctors Petition USDA to Ensure “Feces-Free” Meat or Issue Biohazard Labels
Below are some quotes that I have copied and pasted from an informative website that states facts, instead of nonsensical ramblings from close-minded people.
http://www.powerofmeat.com/body_index.html
“If you do an Internet search for meat protein, iron, calcium, enzymes or amino acids the chances are you’ll find a lot of websites that tell you to avoid eating meat; and then go on to explain how you can try to recreate the balanced diet you need by consuming a complicated set of vegetables, beans and supplements. If meat wasn’t already a good naturally occurring food designed for our bodies, it wouldn’t be so hard to get what we need in vegetable form.”
“Meat is one of natures most balanced foods and is filled with the things that our bodies need to build and maintain muscle, gain strength and vitality, and power us through a busy day!”
“‘Slamming’ meat and pressing for the rights of farm animals may be in vogue in some circles, but the best long term approach to living is to support the human race first, eat with balance and moderation, and use some common sense. Human beings are part of the environment and natures food chain too!”
“With intense discipline and good luck you could balance your diet without meat. But the power of meat in the human diet is undeniable. Meat is good for you!”
Well said, Lucy. Or at least good quotes. I work on a farm, where we grow 4 acres of organic veggies, plus about 25 chickens, and two cows. Nearly every year we get an apprentice or some other ‘volunteer’ who is a “Vegan” who has no concept of nutrition or how an actual farm operates.
Invariably, these sweet, misguided, naive kids will drive to town to buy some fancy, imported, processed food while simultaneously eschewing any of the meat we have raised and slaughtered ourselves. It’s just so hilarious.
It’s funny how much crap they eat while thinking they are being ‘healthy”, and how much corporate food they buy, while criticizing the mellenia-old methods we use to operate a holistic farm.
If you think eating meat is more healthy than eating a well-balanced vegan diet, then you’re just kidding yourself. Seriously.
How in earth you can have a balanced vegan diet ? This really does not make any sense at all. When
With the proper combination of fruits and vegetables, one can have a perfectly balanced vegan diet. It’s not hard at all…. I’ve been doing it for 6 years. It starts with proper food education, then experimentation of what your body needs / from what food sources.
Why don’t animals fight for the rights of other animals? I mean, animals kill one another, don’t they?
There should be a trial. Animals who kill other animals for food should go to jail. They should get life in prison.
When is the last time you saw an animal of prey convert to eating tofu, by the way?
If animals are not willing to stop eating one another, than why should humans stop eating animals too?
Do any of your vegetarians or vegans own pets? Do any of you have a cat, perhaps one named Mittens? Well, Mittens would love a nice juicy chicken dinner right now.In fact, Mittens would most certainly kill a mouse for fun if one ran past him. Are you going to punish Mittens?
What kind of food do you feed mittens? Do you feed him soybeans and carrots or do you own a bag of Iams? What are the ingredients in cat and dog food, anyways? Isn’t it a mixture of meat and vegetables for a healthy coat and strong bones, or is it made with with tofu?
My point is, most of the people on here preaching about the cruelty of animals own domestic pets, and they feed them the typical cat or dog food that has *gasp* meat in it!
So, unless you own a fish, a rabbit or some other animal that doesn’t eat meat, then shut your pie hole you hypocritical morons!
Animals do eat tofu, and they love it. A lot of animals are realizing that it is wrong to eat one another.
They are realizing that they do not need to murder one another to survive. They can live off of moss, sticks and leaves instead of protein which is high in feces.
Are you kidding? Animals are “realizing” that it is wrong to eat other animals? LOLOL They do not even have a developed hippocampus. They do not “realize” anything. That is so silly.
Scientists have recently discovered animals DO have a developed hippocampus, especially large animals such as whales and elephants. They experience Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome-like disorders.
Scientists have even surmised that mice are capable of empathy.
If animals could not “realise” nor reason, they wouldn’t have as great a chance of survival in the wild.
Emotions and reasoning are essential to animal survival.
i just had one juicy hamburger…..mhhh mhh mh mh mhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :)
Yeah I heard that animals love tofu and actually prefer a vegan diet.
I heard about how people trained a lion to eat nothing but tofu. Sure it was weaker than all the other lions but it was happy knowing that no other animals would die just so it could have a meal.
Actually, I think the lion died of malnutrition but the point is that it didn’t want any other animals to die in vain.
This whole “article” is absurd.
The picture of the meat with dog shit on it is ridiculous.
The moron who wrote this article is trying to use scare tactics to convert people to being vegans/vegetarians. Scare tactics are bogus.
This person is uneducated.
They have NO PROOF to back up anything they say.
It’s just an insane rant posted by a close-minded douche bag. There is nothing legit about this article.
In fact, I want rub his ugly vegan face into that dog shit that he unprofessionally photoshopped onto that delicious steak because he deserves it for filtering out the intelligent things because have to say about meat being essential to the human diet.
Please refer to a book called “Slaughterhouse” which investigates the conditions in american slaughterhouses and you will read about statistics the meat industries regularly calculates about how much feces are in meat.
Also, that delicious looking steak is only delicious looking thanks to chemicals injected into it to keep it red looking. Without those chemicals it would turn grey like all other carcass flesh.
i love how it’s become a war over who is eating what. let the vegans be vegan. and meat eaters will eventually rot to death from the undigested flesh that rots within their intestines.
The problem isn’t what other people are eating, the problem is the misinformation being distributed by articles such as this one.
Meat has amino acids, proteins and vitamin B12…it’s easier to digest than supplements. Humans are supposed to eat meat, obviously based on that fact.
The only shit I smell is coming from this bogus article.
Looks like this whole forum is made of idiotic vegan Nazi’s who don’t know diddly about nutrition and health.
Actually, this forum kind of reminds me of some shitty high school newspaper.
In response to this article, I’d say diet has something to do with people feeling tired and getting sick, but it also has to do with exercise. It doesn’t matter if you are a vegan, a vegetarian or a meat eater. What matters is how active you are.
For example, I know a lot of vegetarians who are always tired, and who lay in bed all day long. I could argue that it’s because they don’t eat meat, but it probably has more to do with an inactive lifestyle. Same with meat eaters. They can also be lazy, or fat, etc. But it probably has more to do with over eating and not exercising enough.
In conclusion, being a vegan/vegetarian will not automatically make you healthy, or healthier than a meat eater. Living an active lifestyle will make you healthier.
I always like to each my meat with a big smear of feces on it though.
… Erm…
Premises, please?
All I’m hearing is that when people eat meat, they eat feces. In case anyone who may bear an answer to my question doesn’t know the definition of the term “premises,” I want to know WHY this is the case.
Now that that’s taken care of: Ewewewewew!! That’s disgusting. Glad I’m a vegetarian.
This is a lie. Your organic carrots definitely have stool on them. Collard greens and lettuce, coated in feces. Peaches and raspberries? Loaded with insect excrement. Meat from wal-mart? Probably has been in contact with poop. Hand slaughtered real animals from a real farm? far less than an acceptable amount. The world is a dungy place, and shit is a part of life.
This is the most retarded article I have ever read!
Seriously David, good job!
First you state that there may be an occurrence of feces on the meat that we consume…which would be a fair assumption. The key word in this sentence is ASSUMPTION.
You then go on about how much feces there is on meat and how sick it makes us.
Did you ever think about telling us where this feces comes from? How does it get to our meat?
Because right now it might be the f*cking tooth fairy that puts it there for all we know.
The most outstanding act of retardedness must be when you use an opinion poll as scientific reference. What does the text in the pink-ish square prove? What useful information does it give us?
If you guessed “None at all” then you guessed right!
Seriously David, If you are a vegan I respect that. If you don’t like meat then I respect that to. But If you are trying to prove something in the future, please keep in mind that you may need some HARD FACTS that speak for your cause!
This entire article is just rubbish!
(I am not a reader of vegancampus and I will never be after reading this crap)
Uhh, you think I care what I eat?
I wouldn’t give 2 tosses if someone was sick on it as long as it tastes nice like it does now :D
For me, it’s not about health. Humans are omnivores; eating all meat or all vegetables isn’t going to be healthy. Whether it’s feces or lack of proteins. So if you want to be vegan, do it for your mind, not for poopy. Stop pooping on the vegetarians cause.
oh man i would quit eating meat if the sound that the nail gun makes killing them wasnt so sweet. Beethoven couldnt touch that.
for realzez
Um….has anyone considered what fertilizer is made of?? Most commercial, and certainly most privately produced fertilizer comes directly from bovine (cow) feces. And, last time I checked, animals did not require fertilizer to grow, but plants (fruits and vegetables, including the ever-so-popular tofu made of beancurd) ARE grown in fertliizer, ie cow manure, ie feces`
Well if you think about it, you yourself are feces. The entire planet is a closed system. Nothing (or at least not a noticeable percentage, even less than 0.01%) goes in or out of this system. Everything might have been anything else. For example an apple might have once been some animal’s scat. An apple seed was dropped on it, and it fertilized the tree, then the apple grew many years later. Someone picked it, put it in a box, and it got shipped to a market where you subsequently bought it. Then you ate it, and the nutrients from the apple flew through your intestines to your brain, where it nourished the cells that are reading this very post. Think about it. EVERYTHING is recycled inside Earth. Evaporated water from feces, rains down into a reservoir, you drink it… etc.
Your all a bunch of fascist vegans.
WELL mr. Holier-than-thou-Vegan, what is it that
makes our delicious vegetables and herbs grow,
and what do they actually grow out of?
Feces from a huge spectrum of animals, as well as
animal remains (yep, ROTTEN MEAT) etc etc.
it´s called SOIL, and is a part of the food chain.
Feces and food are two ends of the same matter.
Deal with it.
I mean, vegetables are tops, I wouldn´t trade them away
for any meat if I had to choose between the two, BUT it´s
in my honest opinion a waste of valuable time slapping
those who happen to enjoy their feces. Or steaks. Or whatever
you wish to call it.
Yours truly,
Doctor Fecality
you guyz chat so much shit…
get a life u fuckers…
and stop making nasty comments about what people eat, just because you dont eat it
I meat every day and I never get sick and I always have an abundance of energy, especially in the bedroom department.
Ah… more moronic vegans using false information to lore those away from eating the rotting flesh of a cadaverous animal for which was slain in a bloody massacre :)
You guys are as bad as mormons…
i will be eating more meat after reading this. i love eating shit having a woman use me as a toilet and making me eat all her shit is wonderful
i shit on peta , meat makes you healthyer, and stronger, vegies, they do nothing 4 u but make u tall so FUCK THIS
Soooo, the vegans haven’t considered the fact that many vegetable and plant fertlisers are also made from fecal matter, and that the compost they are grown in and absorb is too, partly derived from faeces, along with many other nasties?
Anything and everything that is natural on this world is made of everything else that is natural. Yes, faeces, urine, the lot. Including your beloved veggies! DUM DUM DUUUM!!! That is how an ECOSYSTEM works. The transmission of ENERGY, through the biomass of the planet/animal that is being eaten. OH DEAR VEGANS!! Look’s like there’s poo on your plates as well. Aren’t we all unlucky.
So stop blindly quoting stats and thinking that they’re the king’s law. Do something useful and show the beneficial effects of fruit and vegetables instead.
Praise Jesus for all these intelligent and well thought out responses! You are all sooooo right. Animals eat each other – it’s only natural! Jeffery Dahmer was just fulfilling his natural calling and why he got such a bad rap is beyond me. He was just culling Milwaukee’s hispanic community of its weaker, less fit individuals – natural selection, if you will – while nourishing his psychological and physical hunger. Animals eat each other, animals murder each other, animals have sex with their brothers/sisters/siblings/the young, eat their own feces, etc. All these things are perfectly, 100% natural thus justifying being practiced by humans, right?!?!11!1
Has anyone on here considered that animals have no conscience?? I am a vegetarian. While I believe that many things in this article are far fetched, you cannot set your whole argument upon the fact that “animals eat each other”. Animals do a lot of things I dont do. They eat their own shit sometimes for god’s sake. Animals kill to survive. We dont have to. Im never the annoying veg who sits around and tries to convert people, because I used to hate people like that. We can live perfectly fine on a non-meat diet. I have been veg for two years and have perfect iron and b-12 levels. b-12 is found in eggs and milk, so it is not essential to eat meat to obtain it. Iron is found in a large amount of foods.
Dont argue the fact that being a vegetarian is “not healthy”, because it is a DOA argument. There is too much fact to back it up. If you dont want to be veg, just say you like eating meat! Just say “I love eating meat and dont care what is in it or what dies for it.” At least you wont be making bogus excueses…
“i shit on peta , meat makes you healthyer, and stronger, vegies, they do nothing 4 u but make u tall so FUCK THIS”
Learn to spell and then maybe someone will listen to you =)
How delusioned you are Erica. You’re blurring the border between animals and humans. You’re also entirely missing the point, purely to satisfy your own grudge against anti-vegans. This discussion is on the content of meat, not on the basis behind the human consumption of it. But aside, this is all hastily patched together stats and very unsupportable facts and figures put together in an attempt by the vegan communtiy to satisfy an even larger grudge…
meh, why I am I wasting my time here.
Wow, this subject keeps on going and going — awesome!! Vegetarians are being made by the second!
what the fuck is wrong with you hippie vegan retards? This is a lifestyle choice not a religion. you want to tell people they are eating crap so they wont eat meat? YOU GROW YOUR FOOD IN CRAP DO YOU THINK NONE OF IT ENDS UP IN THERE? save your BULL SHIT for your buddies at the next Rusted Root concert you fucking liberal smelly jackasses
I love you, Martin. How are you my friend?
Perhaps the hardcore vegans can answer me a question: Why do humans have canine teeth?
are your canine teeth 4 inches long?
can they puncture the throat of a thrashing cow?
can you hang onto it with your talons?
i don’t think so.
when you see an animal, do you feel a pressing urge to stalk it, chase it, and bite out it’s throat? or you you pick up meat from the store like you would pick a piece of fruit?
Want to Live Longer? Cut Back on Red Meat
MONDAY, March 23, 2009 — Burger lovers beware: People who eat red meat have a higher risk of dying over a 10-year period—mostly due to cardiovascular disease or cancer—than their peers who eat less red or processed meat, according to a new study of about half a million people.
“This is the biggest and highest quality study like this,” says Barry M. Popkin, PhD, from the University of North Carolina, who wrote an editorial accompanying the study, which was published Monday in Archives of Internal Medicine. “They collected the diet data very carefully, and it’s saying to people ‘You eat red meat, you drastically increase your risk of dying much sooner. ”
In the study, a research team led by Rashmi Sinha, PhD, from the National Cancer Institute in Rockville, Md., looked at more than 500,000 people who were aged 50 to 71 when they enrolled in the National Institutes of Health–AARP Diet and Health study.
Over a 10-year period, people who ate the most red meat every day (about 62.5 grams per 1,000 calories per day, equivalent to a quarter-pound burger or small steak per day) had about a 30% greater risk of dying compared to those who consumed the least amount of red meat (a median of 9.8 grams per 1,000 calories per day). The excess mortality was mostly due to cardiovascular disease and cancer.
The red meat in the study included all types of beef and pork, including bacon, cold cuts, ham, hamburgers, hot dogs, and steak, as well as meat in pizza, chili, lasagna, and stew.
I can’t unsubscribe to this discussion. Woe upon me, my junk inbox will never be rid of this farce.
You’re with us FOREVER, Aaron!!! HAHAHAHA
How utterly representative of the principal vegan aim: To generally aggrevate everyone else that isn’t in their elitist camp.
Go Aaron! :D
Animals eat raw meat, That is natural. we need to cook our meat before we can consume it, That is unnatural.
Our earliest digestive systems rebelled against eating raw meat.
aso Humans evolved from vegetarian creatures, we have similar digestion systems and teeth.
Since when did we evolve from vegetarian creatures? the last time I checked our closest relatives were chimpanzees, and they too are omnivores. Humans are not herbivores our digestive system is far less complex than it would have be for us to live solely on plants. We need to eat other animals to attain certain nutrients that we cannot digest from plants. Seriously people, before you go on pulling facts from your asses maybe you should crack open a few BIOLOGY books.
And we do eat raw meat, its called sushi.
Nice to see that there’s some sensible people here.
Surely, the facts are over-treated. However, I’m myself a vegetarian, but I don’t want to over-describe the harms of non-veg!
I agree that non-veg may cause some sort of diseases but regular eaters of non-veg may’ve developed some extra immune to these because most of them are healthy. You may research on it.
Everybody between us is free to choose what he want to eat.
I see that you, People not animals, have big problem with making
correct decision what is better to eat.
I would say , IF you are a carpet hiter or hamer strugler all day than you need meat to fuel your muscles. But if you “mind and brainer all day longer ” so you don t need meat , maybe once a party time.
Most of the time is important to seek the problem fundamentals and not going with all the noise crowd .Brain need sugar baby but penis meat.
People cook meat. Problem solved.
omgosh!! im a vegetarian too but, you, your just a dick, get a life!! (get the human flesh outta your mouth)
Umm…What do you think your mushrooms are grown in?
Is David saying that people who consume meat are not eating a balanced diet? That is ridiculous. What is so unbalanced about meat combined with fruits, vegetables, grains and dairy? That sounds pretty damn balanced to me.
Let’s see how David looks another 6 years from now. Probably malnourished. In fact, he may already be malnourished. That would explain the delusions of meat being slathered in feces.
Poor David.
I’m beginning to wonder if this whole article is really just a joke, made to look like the insane ramblings of a malnourished vegan to convince people to “stay on meat”.
Wow, you American’s really do eat shitty food.
Come to the UK, go to a butchers. You’ll find fresh, sustainable produce for the same price as you would for the shit you find in supermarkets.
Oh, and guess what? It’s the same in America! Go to a butchers, I’ve yet to find a butcher that wouldn’t agree to show me to and/or allow me to see where the animals are kept and their living conditions.
This is a huge generalisation, but fuck it because it’s right for 99% of you.
Vegans, get your heads out of your arses. Grow a pair and realise that food, is food. I don’t give a shit if you want to go and eat leaves/beans/tofu or any other vegetable that has been covered in all sorts of crap to make it grow faster. Stop shoving your idealist crap in our faces.
Also, I laughed at the article. Faeces in meat? Really? I wonder if you give head as well as you talk shit.
Hey Dave,
Thanks, my friend. I appreciate your feedback on the matter. You’re right, I need to work on the delivery of my message. I want to stop putting people down so negatively for eating meat.
we are all going to die from eating meat dont you guys realize that. we will only last a matter of years if we eat meat. the human race has been lucky, we have been eating meat the last 4 million years how many more years do you think that we can last by eating something that is not good for us. continue this practice of meat eating and we will all be gone in the next 2-3 million years, tick tick tick time is passing people……
sorry gotta cut this short my veal steak is gonna get over cooked
quick question if meat is handled right how does any shit get on it?
last time i checked dont they use shit as a fertilizer? so that means that they spread it out on plants to help them grow even your organic matter of fact they use it on organic the most, think thye need to re-title this “there is shit on your veggies”
“…and meat is animal feces.” – Washington, D.C.
lol wut, i dont even..
Moronic Propaganda, im sorry not everyone is a sheep. 95% Vegans are just looking to be different, crying out “someone notice me! pleeaaaase notice im different!” Idiots, what about the pig crap in the Spinachs?
yea anyone can put 2 and 2 together..
Even the word Vegan sounds gay as hell how they say it too.. “im veeegaaaan” (yea pronounce it longer, so it can be noticed better)
Freaks! I eat meat and im healthy. I don’t know who has brainwashed you, but sorry to break the news.. life eats life and on and on. it will never stop sorry to say, your small voice is so insignificant. Do you think a huge Alligator would care that you were Vegan, they would consume you. Keep your cult to yourself like religion, nobody cares about what you eat. Can you stop a bird from eating that poor little worm? Can you stop a Large Mouth Bass from eating a baby bird from the nest into the water? Life eats Life repeat it with me, Life Eats Life.
ps cry all you want, not jack shi- you can do about it ;)

Who cares what other people eat. I’m Vegan and that’s why I visit this site. Why visit this site if you’re not vegan/vegetarian? I can understand if people are interested as to why people choose a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle. But to argue about why meat is good/bad for you it’s not going to change people’s mind sets.
I LOVE meat and would happily live off it for ever. I’m not sure why it’s refered to as “rotting” I’m pretty sure the meat I eat is pretty far from rotting. And if poo is meat, I’ve clearly been a scat fan much longer that I would ever have figured :D
I also don’t really give a shit (teehee) about cutting down on red meat in order to “lengthen my life”. I’d rather live a shorter life eating delicious steaks that a long one with a much more boring menu.
But thats just me. If you want to be a vegan/veggie be a vegan/veggie, but don’t preach that shit, and try and guilt-trip the rest of the world into being like you.
