Yeah, that was a bold sweeping comment and it wasnt meant personally or to be taken as a literal truth. Its just my sense of humor, how everyone thinks they're a perfect specimen producing flawless offspring haha. (or mabye you still wont find that funny... im not talking about *YOU PERSONALLY*, i am being general.)
When you use withdrawl method coupled with condoms, you're pretty serious about not having children.
I have two siblings, younger and older.
I dont see if you were having a child for the 'right' reasons, that you would be 'unhappy' with it.. mabye i would have to have a child myself before i understood the disapointment that your first might bring, where you might get luckier on your second and they wont shame you as much.... haha.
But seriously... could you imagine what would happen if your entire town started eating a paleo diet? You would soon realize what i mean when i say that your diet is a privilege. You and your family can eat 10 pounds of animal product a day because other families are living off of grain. There is not enough quality food to go around, so if we already have a problem (what is it, 1/4 of the worlds population is malnurished?) and you guys on here are saying everybody should go ahead and have 4 children (and in 20 years those 4 children have the 'right' to have another 4 kids... etc..) what are you thinking? unless you're not, and you're just thinking about yourselves and your own families and aren't thinking about the big picture (which you are a part of)..
But then again, you're just being PALEO right? Every small tribe for themselves.....
You make a valid point and no, we are not stupid idiots who do not look at the big picture. Sure, people eat grain, which makes more meat available to us, but if you think that we couldnt possibly supply all of the humans on this planet with plenty of meat every day you are highly mistaken. This is just another fallacy purported by those who think that meat is bad for you. When you say we could not possibly have everyone on the planet eating meat, what exactly do you mean? When you make a claim, you need to explain yourself fully. If you mean that we do not have enough natural resources and space to have everybody eating meat, well I just have to laugh at you. We can fit everyone on the planet in texas and still have plenty of living space. Area of Texas is 268,581 square miles. Assuming 6-7 billion people, that's 22,340 per square mile; this means each person gets 1248 square feet, which is about the size of a respectable apartment. Even if we had a ratio of 1:10 grassfed eating cattle to people, we could still fit plenty of animals for humans to eat at least 2lbs of meat per day.
You ask us what we are thinking, well to be quite honest, OURSELVES. The current notion in contemporary society of especially higher income nations is that we need to think about everybody else, even though 85% of the globe consists of lower income nations that are poor. Anybody that lives their life making accommodations for everybody else is not a true human, but an accommodator. If you want to be healthy, you better damn well start thinking about yourself and your family and eat plenty of meat, rather than thinking about "everybody else." Who cares about everybody else, care about yourself. Everybody else is still going to be miserable either way.
One of the biggest problems in health today is the lack of recognition and application of self help. Everybody is so concerned about the environment and what is politically correct.
To bring this argument about alpha males and alpha females home, is that alpha males/ females get what they want, period. They rarely make accommodations for others, others make accommodations for them. If they dont like a job, they find a better one. If they are not in a good relationship, they move on. I guess being an alpha male today means not being a pussy like everybody else who conforms to the masses. Alpha people do things the way they like to do it, thats it. No its not about squatting 500 or getting all of the ladies. To be alpha is to get what you set your sights on.
