I get mine ground up so you don't notice the connective tissue you sometimes get.  I then just put it on my meats/organs or mix it with egg yolks.  It's also my favorite fat in terms of how it makes me feel.

This is one of my favorite movies.  The part that really touched me was the quote he left in his diary before he died: happiness in only real when shared.

Well vegetarians aren't that bright and I'm seeking from experience.  When I was one I didn't think straight and now that I look back on what my life as a vegan, it was basically wasted away: no motivation or drive to accomplish anything like I usually did before and now once again have while not being vegan.

Well HIT_it_RAW I guess it's obvious then that you haven't studied any bio-mechanics of the body. 

If an education in exercise does not increase ones knowledge of how they body functions and reacts, then why is it that kinesiologists and physiotherapists are the ones who work with professional athletes (Olympians, body builders, NHL players...)?  Why don't these top athletes just go to the average Joe trainer then?

If walking/cycling is good for your health, the postman would be immortal
A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water and is fat
A rabbit runs hops and only lives 15 years
A tortoise doesn't run, does nothing  yet lives for 450 years.
And y'all think exercise is important.

This is an interesting point.  Exercise has not been shown to increase ones life expectancy while diet on the other hand has.  In fact some long aerobic exercises done frequently can cause muscle breakdown and in some people (depending on what their body is accustomed to using as fuel once their glycogen stores run out) their bodies can start to catabolize protein for energy, which in some die hard aerobic trainees can lead to a weaker heart muscle.

On the other hand exercise does have numerous benefits that improve ones daily lifestyle and there are so many exercises and/or activities one can do to make it fun as well.

I prefer meats over nuts as I find them easier on my stomach and more satisfying.  However when I do eat nuts I make sure to soak them for the day in water with a little bit of vinegar added.  Seeds (including nuts) sprout better when the soil is slightly acidic so the vinegar added to the water helps mimic this environment.

Full range of motion!!!  How are guys supposed to impress the girls at the gym if they can't do heavy weights with partial range of motion   

I've worked in rehabilitation for a long time with some top physiotherapists and we do leg extensions with some patients however only with low weight.  With heavy weights it can cause some wear on the knee joint over time.  It's simple physics: when your foot is not planted to something and in an extended position (parallel to the ground), when a force is then applied downwards it pushes the entire leg down causing a slight shearing at the knee.  Your knee is not a hinge joint, it is held together with tendons and ligaments, thus it will have some motion in various directions.  The leg extension is not a movement that is naturally designed for high weights in our daily lives; things like jumping, running, walking... on the other hand are and these apply compression forces on the knee joint.

It's not nose bleeds, just bloody snot when I blow my nose 

One can get a much better workout without machines.  All you have to do is look at gymnasts, power lifters and crossfiters.  Sticking to compound exercises gives far better results as it stimulates more nerves to fire and more stabilization muscle.  Also some machines are dangerous, such as leg extensions as when one adds heavy weight to an extended food that is not planted to something, it can cause shearing at the knee.

If anyone is from Vancouver or the surrounding area then feel free to send me a message and maybe we could meet up for a raw snack.

Some good points made here.  Stretching should never be done before a workout as it stimulates the para-sympathetic nervous system to fire, causing the body to relax, thus the muscles become weaker and there is a greater chance of injury.  Stretching after a workout has been shown to help blood flow and recovery time though. 

With regards to the question if stretching is necessary, well it depends on ones overall posture and what activities one performs.  By sitting most of our days many people have tight muscles and should stretch them.  On the other hand, being to flexible has it's downsides too as we need that tension to hold our joint in place.  Gymnastics who have the muscle to keep their joints in place may not have any issues but others, say yoga fanatics, who do no strength training have and are excessively flexible do have problems.

Thus to answer your question simply, if we lived in a pale world, stretching wouldn't be necessary, but since we don't, it is recommended for most to some degree.
