Hitler, a vegetarian, scored himself enough perks for 1430 Me262s, 215 Ta152s & 274 Ar234s.  Probably more 10 times more than all of you geniuses combined

Hitler was a vegan? pffft lol

No Hitler wasn't. Not in the traditional sense of the word. Hitler occasionally reduced his meat consumption because of digestive problems.

If you want to call that vegetarianism, you might as well say that all meat-eaters are vegetarian for the eight hours they're asleep each night and not eating meat.

Wasn’t Hitler a vegetarian?
No. People who ask this have fallen victim to NAZI propaganda that wanted to frame Hitler as an ascetic, focused only on the needs of the German people. There is ample documentation of his meat-eating

Why Hitler Was Not a Vegetarian

Some information to debunk the long-standing, popular myth.

"Under the headline, 'Don't Put Hitler Among the Vegetarians,' the correspondent (Richard Schwartz, author of Judaism and Vegetarianism) pointed out that Hitler would occasionally go on vegetarian binges to cure himself of excessive sweatiness and flatulence, but that his main diet was meat-centered."


Hehe he ate veggies to get rid of stinky gas. lol fact check fact check

Nicely clipped driectly from GoVeg.com.
Just as the holocaust deniers was to do their altering of history, so do the vegetarians.  
Peta has similar info on their web site.  
All of it is contrary to the testimony of members of Hitler's entourage

Rugby players actually: they tend to be bigger and need more protein to survive.

Chasing the meat improved the human race more than eating it.

Chasing the moon improved the human race more than landing on it.

Meat.

The original, great motivator.

A vegetarian diet can have lots of protein, in fact it can have more protein than a meat based diet for the same amout of food consumed in calories. You have to remember that protein is not in any way exclusive to meat. Yoiu can find protein in many vegetables, beans and nuts.  Meat will give you protein, but it will give you lots of fat, and even worse lots of bad cholesterol - which you can only get from animal products.

I've gone about 80% vegetarian since mid october and have now lost nearly 80lbs. I eat lots less meat than before but get more protein than ever.

What do you think?

no, just look at the animals who only eat meat since thousand years
(ie. lions, crocodiles) yet they didnt land on the moon. There is much more
in evolution then proteins

The extra protein allowed the development of an enlarged and more efficient brain, which is typical of predators.  

Actually, these proteins can be had from other sources, such as olive oil.

IMO, the development of speech and living in social groups is what really made humans evolve intellectually.  Also the high omega 3 content of early foods helped dramatically.

And where those many vegetables, beans and nuts available to prehistoric man globally?
