I had someone ask me to watch this and then give the arguments against it so instead of answering in message form I thought I would make it a post so everyone can once and for all learn the stupidity of this woman. To get through it I will attempt to put as much as I can remember in dot form.
The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith
Answer me this: How can you call yourself feminist when you openly consume the by-products of your raped, tortured, enslaved and murdered gender?
Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women.
And yet billions female cows, chickens, pigs, ducks, you name it are being routinely abused and raped each year and you have nothing to say about it?
Says our short digestive tract is to fuel the brain.
Striking differences between carnivores and herbivores are seen in these organs. Carnivores have a capacious simple (single-chambered) stomach. The stomach volume of a carnivore represents 60-70% of the total capacity of the digestive system. Because meat is relatively easily digested, their small intestines (where absorption of food molecules takes place) are short — about three to five or six times the body length. Since these animals average a kill only about once a week, a large stomach volume is advantageous because it allows the animals to quickly gorge themselves when eating, taking in as much meat as possible at one time which can then be digested later while resting. Additionally, the ability of the carnivore stomach to secrete hydrochloric acid is exceptional. Carnivores are able to keep their gastric pH down around 1-2 even with food present. This is necessary to facilitate protein breakdown and to kill the abundant dangerous bacteria often found in decaying flesh foods.
Because of the relative difficulty with which various kinds of plant foods are broken down (due to large amounts of indigestible fibers), herbivores have significantly longer and in some cases, far more elaborate guts than carnivores. Herbivorous animals that consume plants containing a high proportion of cellulose must “ferment” (digest by bacterial enzyme action) their food to obtain the nutrient value. They are classified as either “ruminants” (foregut fermenters) or hindgut fermenters. The ruminants are the plant-eating animals with the celebrated multiple-chambered stomachs. Herbivorous animals that eat a diet of relatively soft vegetation do not need a multiple-chambered stomach. They typically have a simple stomach, and a long small intestine. These animals ferment the difficult-to-digest fibrous portions of their diets in their hindguts (colons). Many of these herbivores increase the sophistication and efficiency of their GI tracts by including carbohydrate-digesting enzymes in their saliva. A multiple-stomach fermentation process in an animal which consumed a diet of soft, pulpy vegetation would be energetically wasteful. Nutrients and calories would be consumed by the fermenting bacteria and protozoa before reaching the small intestine for absorption. The small intestine of plant-eating animals tends to be very long (greater than 10 times body length) to allow adequate time and space for absorption of the nutrients.
It has been proven over and over that humans don’t actually need that much protein to maintain a healthy weight – the actual amount is about .36 grams per pound of body weight. So I don’t know what you guys are freaking out about all the time.
A cup of cooked spinach has 13 grams. And there’s more than spinach – the vegan world is aplenty with protein, contrary to popular belief. A cup of soy milk has seven grams of protein, two tablespoons of peanut butter have eight grams and a cup of oatmeal has six grams. But don’t stop there – a cup of lentils has 18 grams and a cup of black beans has 16 grams!
Hence, it is very easy to get all your protein from a vegan diet.

For TRUE, UNBIASED, MEDICAL info on B12, check out http://libaware.economads.com/b12issue.php andwww.naturalnews.com/029531_vitamin_B12_vegan.html. (Vitamin B12 is a bacterium that is produced in the soil, and we only need three micrograms per day. Some animals have trace amounts of B12 in their flesh because they eat food off of the ground that has dirt on it. Eating meat—which contains cholesterol, saturated fat and animal protein—for trace amounts of B12—which the body cannot absorb anyway (see libaware link above)—is inefficient and deadly. Furthermore, B12 is destroyed by excessive amounts of heat, which explains why 99 percent of all people with B12 deficiencies are meat-eaters. The other 1 percent are vegetarians who subsist on cheese and eggs, and junk-food vegans (Ruffles, Oreos and french fries). These groups are also at risk for anemia because cheese, eggs, Ruffles, Oreos and french fries are devoid of iron. (Non-junk-food) veganism causes no disease. It is preventative medicine, the treatment and the cure.)

Vegan’s don’t eat grass, it’s that simple.
Claiming Diabetes/ Cancer is directly relates to eating plants.
Heart Disease: Animal products are the main source of saturated fat and the only source of cholesterol in the diet. Vegans avoid these health threats. Additionally, fiber helps reduce cholesterol levels and animal products contain no fiber.
Diabetes: Researchers found 43 percent of people with type 2 diabetes who followed a low-fat vegan diet for 22 weeks reduced their need to take medications to manage their disease compared with 26 percent of those who followed the diet recommended by the American Diabetes Association.
Cancer: Ask any dietitian, vegan or not, they will all tell you that the healthiest way to live your life, the easiest to prevent and so far the only cure for any sort of cancer is through a vegan diet.
