        Of course they would die. Without some sort of protein the body would turn
to the only source of protein available to it, Lean Muscle Mass. The heart
is made of lean muscle mass and eventually the vegan without technology
would die from cardiac arrest. The result of the vegans body feeding upon
itself to get the protein it needs to survive. Can you say EATEN ALIVE boys
and girls??? And not by another animal but by your own body. Of course you
will never convince a vegan of that. Even though the cotton clothing they
are wearing killed more animals than we can.
        While I am on this rant. Have any of you ever noticed how many vegans say
they won't eat anything that causes an animal harm in its production. Does
anyone besides me find this hypocritical or do they mean just the cute,
fuzzy, politically correct animals and not the insects, rodents and various
other animals that are killed to protect and produce the crops the vegan
feed upon? Where are the screams of anger for the unnecessary wholesale
slaughter of millions of grasshoppers each year? Grasshoppers I could be
using for fish bait!!!
