How to Win An Argument With a Meat-Eater
Cooking food destroys vitamins.
The more you cook the meat the more the vitamins and proteins become unusable, since they get destroyed.
So it is better to get your vitamins from the source.
I actually get my vitamin D for example, from the sun. I know that sounds crazy but a little exercise and 30 minutes of sun everyday does the body good.
Iodine is added to table salt. That is strange, since it is found in meat, and in NA we live in a meat eating society. Ooops , again overly processed foods makes the nutrients unusable.
Do vegetables have iodine in them???
The must because where does that cow get iodine from in the first place???
Where does the cow get calcium????
They get it from vegetation.
Let's look at some fruits:
Amazing we get low fat, high carbs, complete amino-acids, and the only thing missing is b12 (which is a bacteria and can be supplemented) and vitamin D which we get from sunshine.
Pineapple: Iodine and Powerful Anti-inflammatory
All of the fruits in this list have additional benefits for people with Hashimoto's. Pineapple contains the entire range of vitamins, 16 minerals, and is extremely rich in bromelain, an anti-inflammatory enzyme that is so powerful that it is commonly used alone as a treatment for autoimmune disorders; it also breaks down proteins (including parasites), acts as an anti-coagulant (lowering blood-pressure) and purifies the blood.
Coconut: iodine and Instant, Non-sugar Energy
Coconut provides a unique form of saturated fat that contains medium-chain fatty acids that boost the metabolism quickly. This kind of fat doesn't need to be linked up with carrier proteins (lipoprotins) and stored – it travels straight to the liver for immediate conversion to energy. Coconut also contains caprylic acid (also known as octanoic acid) which combats fungal infections such as candidiasis.
Strawberries: Iodine and Anti-histamine
Strawberries are the top berry source for quercetin, which is anti-inflammatory and has been found to protect brain cells from damage (1). It is also known as "nature's antihistamine", inhibiting the production of histamine, which is involved in inflammatory responses, as well as allergic ones. And just one cup of strawberries contains over 140 per cent of the RDA (recommended daily amount).
Rhubarb: Iodine and 12 Other Minerals
Rhubarb is part of the Polygonaceae family and has been used as a medicine since the third century BCE. It is rich in iodine and also contains vitamins A, C and many of the B vitamins. It is remarkable for its high mineral content which – in addition to iodine – includes calcium, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, phosphorous, silicon, sodium, sulfur and zinc, chlorine, and potassium. The rhizomes and roots contain powerful anthraquinones, which are stimulant laxatives, useful for relieving the constipation that's an unpleasant part of hypothryoid conditions.
Apricots: Iodine and Phytonutrients
Apricots are high in the phytonutrients lycopene, beta-carotene and quercetin, and have been shown to reduce the risk of liver steatosis (fatty degeneration of the liver) (2). They are also one of the foods identified by healthcare professionals as possibly key to the extreme longevity of the Hunzas people of Kashmir (3).
Balsam Apple: Iodine and Metabolism Regulator
Also known as bitter melon, this fruit contains four bioactive compounds which activate a protein named AMPK. This has been studied at length for its role in regulating metabolism, and enabling glucose uptake processes in the body.
Mangoes and Dates
Dates are a rich source of selenium (needed for thyroid hormone production), and contain 23 types of amino acids within their proteins. Mangoes are the richest source of vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene) – one mango provides 1½ times the RDA.
Then we add in some green leafy vegetables to the mix, and we have a nice raw vegan diet, which isn't lacking in anything. No need to kill and torture farm animals.

How to Win An Argument With a Meat-Eater
As soon as I read the title all I could think was, "Just open your mouth!" Lol. But seriously, I just don't see the appeal in eating something that had to give its life (plants may be alive but in an entirely different manner) just so I can gorge. Thanks for the post!
How to Win An Argument With a Meat-Eater
Plants are alive, and so are animals. All animals have to kill *something* to live. Who are we to say animal life is worth more than plant life? We probably only feel that way because animals are more similar to us than plants. Which is a totally subjective thing.

Thanks for sharing dear buddy keep it up. Everyone has right to say something. So, Everyone should keep it up. And share more ideas Thanks
How to Win An Argument With a Meat-Eater
When you read through the post it's almost impossible to see why anyone would choose to eat meat. Beats me why people do so much harm to themselves and to others and to the planet. Ignorance is bliss I guess.
