    @traceyeakin While you are 100% correct about a cat being an obligate carnivore, dogs are obligate omnivores, and like us, find pleasure in the taste of sweet carbohydrates(plant foods)

    Best explanation of why we become overweight I’ve seen. Love the hand drawn slides. I went vegan 8 months ago and lost all the extra weight.
    I don’t have cats but cats need different amino acids than we do but that doesn’t mean they need MEAT just that they need added amino acids. People have cats on vegan diets that are thriving.

    @traceyeakin Dogs are actually TRUE omnivores, humans are behavioral omnivores but not physiological omnivores like dogs.

    Please provide us closed captioning or audio transcribe for the hearing impaired. I am anxiety to hear Dr. Lisle’s speaking.

    Most veterinarians do not recommend a vegan diet for cats. A diet high in grain based foods has been found not to be optimal for cats and can be detrimental. With diligent supplementation, there have been exceptions, but a vegan cat diet is not generally recommended.

    @catandthesun Agree with your comments, as do many experts in feline nutrition.

    This is a wonderful lecture. Bravo to D.Lisle for such valuable information on what we eat!

  10. indkit07 says:

    I question his claim that there aren’t psychological factors related to eating. Personally, if stressed, I am less interested in food or if extremely stressed, don’t really feel like eating although I drink water, unsweetened tea, perhaps apple juice or orange juice. Other people I’ve known, when highly stressed, reach for food, usually sugary food. So, isn’t this a psychological affect on what he terms “the pleasure trap.”

    In general, like dr. Lisle’s approach of leading people to make choices and do so gradually if that fits them better.

    That is great using great white as an example. There are there who will think it is okay to kill sharks for shark fin, since all this fish does is sex and food :(

    Great talk….. at the end of the day it is all about the mind. Keep the mind in control and you will eat the right thing, do the right thing and make the best of every situation life throws at you.

    Nothing new here. Nice presentation. Anti-cancer was a great book as well.

    What is with people feeding their cats a vegan diet? Look at their teeth and jaws. They’re carnivores!

  20. 30stmFantasy says:

    @sprice676 No one is making mouse or bird CAT food. Not to worry, the vegan cat food will keep the cat healthy. The main thing is for PEOPLE to eat less or no meat and dairy so that they are healthier.

    About the animal-based products being bad for you, what do we use to replace the milk? :/

  22. 30stmFantasy says:

    @briartanglepath I’ve never been one to drink a glass of milk but I use it in cereal, coffee, etc. so it was easily replaced by almond milk or soy milk. Haven’t tried rice milk yet.
