hmm…clearing things up..

ok a little biology.

KPCOGS. what? KFC? no la
it means

kingdom, phylum, class , order, genus and species. In biology, animals are first class into kingdoms- mamalia, reptilia, fish and so on.
then phylum-chordata(backboned)

and so on…till reach genus and species which is what the scientific names of an organism..

eg. staphylcoccus aureaus, u noe MRSA?

er…how bout homo sapiens- human?

ok turtles, tortoise and terrapins are three different kind of order.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortoise

ok…adrian tai give u all a nice link…

http://www.tcmtreatment.com/herbs/0-guiban.htm

well…it said there tortoise plastron…

it did not said turtle plastron..
furthermore…the wikipedia link on plastron is a general defenition of what a plastron is.,.

dont get confused by this-
Turtle plastrons were used by the ancient Chinese in a type of divination called plastromancy. See also oracle bones.

this means they take the bone and see whether can mali mali hom 4d numbers out…not eat them…-_-
( if this stills worry u whether 4d buyers are causing extinction to turtles…er…theres the word ancient there..)

conclusion.
if, the one kind chinese medicine website is true, that it only uses tortoise plastrons, then people out there go ahead sapu guilinggao only la, dont need to feel all …aiya…im killing turtle…sei la…

well… i also thought turtles were the sea animals and tortoise was land…turn out rong…if u go see…some turtles lived on land..

even if it was turtle plastron…who noes it might be

btw…adriantai…i too hate the feeling when my friends disagree with me on things that im positive about…hehe..u noe..this piece of tortoise info can be very usefull next time..

eg. ur auntie try to hao lian she got nice guilinggao to eat…halfway she eat, tell her inside got turtle shell.. ^^ haha..

enjoy her expression change.

Hello…
Sorry didnt mean to provoke so much personal opinion or comment. And if I sounded personal I apologize. Ofcoz there is no proof that vege will live longer, one’s mortality depends on a lot of factors. Not only the food we consume, but also merits we inherited from the past(Happy: like yur grandma, she must had accumulated lot of merit). Actually, like atai said, being vege is not just mock-meat or soy.. one has to eat balance to stay balance. Thats why we like to promote taking grain or wheat products. Vegetable and fruits ofcoz is the most healthy source. Thats why we should cut down on the procesed food. Do you know that animals nowadays have been injected lot of growth hormon and antibiotic, which are not good for our body.(this is not a debate, just sharing what i know) Talking about plants being ‘killed’. I hope I will not provoke more objection. Just wanna share little thing I know. Although plants also have life. The different btw plants and animal/man is that plants dont have soul/spirit like man/animal do. Plants will not cry, plants will not talk, plants has no emotion. Have u ever seen plants say ‘ouchhhh’ when u pluck them. But have u seen how animals struggle when they are being slaughtered? To further explain it will go into some spiritual topic which I dont want to discuss as not many ppl will believe. But if would like to share some of your valuable opinion especially about the meaning of life,if u also think that life is not just “work,eat, play, enjoy”(all sensual pleasure) If you feel that there is somethign more important in life that you want to fulfill or achieve. u r welcome to drop me some lines at gigim53@gmail.com Again, I hope I did not offend anyone. Just sharing what I should say. Not a debate. Thanks for yur time.

What i meant was, most vegetarian foods sold and promoted in markets and restaurants..are mostly mock meat. Thats why i seldom go vege restaurants..unless i’m rich. The closest and “better-est” vege dish is chapfan with real vege.

Besides, i chance upon an email where a lady who consumes too much soya got cancer..since she thought soya was good for health (and helps lose weight).

Anyhow, i’m learning new vege dish to cook..but i hate all the washing and slicing.

i would dread to think too if everyone in this world turns vegetarian… i dun think we’d have enuff food…

so yes, we should celebrate the diversity…

happy, when someone calls themselves a vegetarian, it means eat vegetables la… ok, and beans, etc too…

nobody ask you to go eat mock-meat. like i said, if eat mock-meat only, then should be called soyatarian or something like that (mushroom head also ok since some of the ‘mock-meat’ are made of mushroom stalks… heh heh)

btw, i love mushrooms.

anyway, i’ll be writing about the new food pyramid soon enuff…

Heh, if u mean me refuting, its only due to the generalisation of vegans who blames meat eaters as being incompassionate without realising that plants MAY have feelings too. They also fail to realise its all part of nature and we, without our tools&equipments, are actually at the bottom of the foodchain. And from the tone of some vegetarians, you’ll see they are offended at meat eaters (for them being incompassionate to animals)
Besides, if one can give their opinions, others too can give..regardless if these opinions are in agreement or mutually exclusive. So u have two sides of the story.

And as u know, i’m slowly moving into vegetarian products,(I have nothing against vegetarians) and most i find appalling is the chemical based processed vegetarian food. Fresh produce is best but organics r expensive.

this is usually a subject matter i rather NOT talk about… because you’d have some MEAT activist who would feel offended when vegetarians share their opinion and then start to give extreme examples.

when people share and you are not interested in listening, then just dun listen la… why refute and claim the others are wrong. we’re humans. we’re all unique and think differently.

the other thing is… why is it people think vegetarians = people who survive on lots of soya… in the first place, soya = beans NOT vegetables. if one would only based his or her means on soya, they should be called soyarian or beanarians.

hmmmm…
