    So your argument is resorting to divine providence now?

    If we're going to descend to that level: why has Mother Nature/God placed animals on the earth that are so delicious? Surely if they weren't meant to be eaten they wouldn't be so tasty.

    oh my, God was a typo, ok:rolleyes:

    It makes me sad to have to put you in the P brigade. It's like using the terrorist word, one persons terrorist is another's freedom fighter.
    One person's douchebag is another person's douchebag.

    (That's you by the way)

    You're almost like a Jehovah's witness, preaching (begging) people to join your religion (lifestyle).

    side effects of protein:

    muscular growth (if taken alongside stimulating the muscles with weights), better immune system

    if you take too much in then you will just pee it out (which is a bit of a waste)

    do protein shakes contain addictive ingredients?
    I was told by person that there are addictive materials in pro-shakes, but he didn't provide me with proof (he apparantley heard from someone)
    I just wanted to clrify whether this is true or not. And could you provide me with proof whether this is true or not?

    Have you seen that comic, goes around scientific conferences collaring biologists saying why aren't gorillas given human rights. And the scientist are like 'not him again', (abit like me in this forum). It's only our 'culture' that makes us think we're so far above the apes. You can teach an ape to understand grammar and communicate.

    I'm saying some of the great apes are human.:eek:

    MeAndBubbles, protein is just whey extracted from making cheese, it doesn't really make any difference if it's not whole food it is still digested just like anything else.

    Vegans eat protein from microplankton and quorn and other random ****** like cereal fortified with B12 which isn't exactly whole foods either brah.

    Also ur 5ft9 16 stone + fat.

    But can you teach a monkey to understand particle physics? is that a no i hear? okay, i guess im above an ape then, meh. I knew my knowledge of gluons could be used somehow, took me ages to find the use though, guess proof of superiority to apes will do.

    and then you ruin you sense of superiority by coming in the fitness forum:p:


    just realized how really really wonderfully weird QM is. I mean how a force be a particle called a gluon. I guess it's getting down to fundamentals, to strings and geometric shapes/topology.

    I propose that everyone in fitness puts Meandbubbles on ignore. Then he can still spout his rubbish, but we don't have to listen to it. Everyone wins.

    My understanding is that Washoe the chimpanzee was taught ASL from an early age by Gardner and Gardner. He (she? Washoe is a silly name) ended up as an adult with a vocabulary of about 30 words, and could get about three of them together to form rudimentary sentences. I don't think these sentences had grammar, but the researchers could easily infer what Washoe meant. What study are you referring to when you say apes can learn grammar?

    I've known of a deaf kid with no education and parents that didn't give a ****** about him or anyone else and who refuses to even try to learn stuff. He had a vocabulary of more than 30 words. Most of them swear words, but the point is that the stupidest humans seem smarter than the most accomplished chimpanzee.
