Cellular memory theory attempts to explain why people who have received transplanted organs report having acquired the personal habits of the donor, which were previously alien to them, and the implications are that the spirit acquires the mental characteristics of the creature whose cells have been assimilated into the physical organism of the spirit.

Wouldn't that mean that animals that consume blood are themselves hodgepodges of souls? If the soul enters parts of the body other than the blood (per your thing about organ transplants), then wouldn't that mean they still would amalgamate with yours upon consumption?


Transplanted living tissue contains the donor's blood and plasma, and these are assimilated into the recipient's body. That's why the blood types of the donor and recipient must be compatible.

Interesting..what’s the word, topic. There we go.

I’m not dieting myself although my dad recently has been fasting 22 hours a day to lose weight. Wow, has that worked. He also plays tennis, however.

My late friend was Muslim. (Religious) And several muslim children in the primary school my two youngest attend. So birthday treats are pig free.

A cousin, a niece and several friends are vegetarian because of bio industry. (Moral)

Several friends, a friend of my 3d child and their mom don't want to eat pig because of the parasites. They also don't want to eat refined sugar (due to adhd) and rather don't eat meat too much. But will eat whatever you made for them.

And several other family members who can't eat fruits, nutmeg or paprika...

So... I cook either daily gluten free or make two meals with a "chinese Wall" principle.

My eldest has their own "just in case someone is handing out treats with gluten and forgot about them" box at school. With an assortment of gluten free treats.

And we read EVERY label in the shop...

Wow! That is a lot of restrictions! I wonder how parties are like. I do have some friends that do have some dietary restrictions moral, ethical, and religious.

We have colour codes and chinese walls during parties. Separate plates and many tissues.

So you'll have a crudité table, all veggies in separate "containers" as to avoid cross contamination. Cheese tableaux and gluten free toasts. And for those who need it, separate bowls with crisps. And we have loads of soap and clean towels ready for use... everyone needs to wash their hands before AND after eating.

I've heard that a vegetarian diet is hard to do correctly

I've heard the same about carnivorous ones.

It seems I have plenty of data sources for that one :)

Take work, if there is a food that you feel you wont be able to do your job correctly if you have it, let's say, before work, and you make sure not to drink it so you can do your work better.

And by social, let's say friends decided eating {insert food} is socially off, and you don't eat it because of that, that's an example.

I see that the thread has become more mainstream

Accordingly, we can now afford higher vote target requirements for each poll :)

We’re making something historic (or as historic as things can get on NSG)

Indeed. That is why I upgraded the amount needed for a new poll where one option is allowed to be picked per nation from 60 to 70.

That is the reason Jews (like myself) don't eat carnivorous animals.

Shame you’re missing out on wolf meat, bear brisket, and oh, if only you could try tiger prime rib.

And the back part of an animal is not to be eaten, so no flank, sirloin, or shank. Ribsteak is very good and Kosher too........yum yum yum!

When it comes to fish, it needs to have fins and scales. So no shark, lobster, octopus, squid, or shrimp.

Sharks have fins and scales. The others, of course, are not fish. It's seafood.

Their skin is covered with tiny teeth-like armor, which are not considered scales at all

I'm experimenting with using more soy based ingredients. Used to be a vegetarian and now, with the price of meat skyrocketing, seems like the perfect moment to begin again.

As someone who eats pork blood a lot, this does explain my gluttony.

Oh,pork blood is good.And duck blood is good too.Our city's duck industry association said the year before last, this city ate more than 100 million ducks a year!I'm eating one now

There are however carnivorous fish that are actually considered fish by Jews, like Tuna. In fact, I am pretty sure most fish are carnivorous.
