U bent vegetarisch? U eet weleens groenvoer met het vage idee dat planten ook kunnen lijden, en dat een appel pijn heeft als u 'm schilt?
Word mineralarian!
"Starting with carbon from coal and petroleum, hydrogen from water and nitrogen and oxygen from air, a few feedstocks of simple organic chemicals are made. Some, like glycerine (C3H8O3), are already nutritious and digestible; others, like methanol, ammonia, and acetaldehyde, are merely intermediates along the way to synthesizing the dozens of amino acids, fatty acids, and vitamins the body needs in greater or lesser quantity. Many of the synthetic reactions mimic those that occur naturally in plants and microbes, but we carry them out with mineral catalysts in a cruelty-free laboratory environment. The body's own metabolism picks up where our chemistry leaves off, converting the few dozen essential nutrients in mineralarian food into the hundreds and thousands of specialized molecules, including DNA and proteins, required for life. Indeed the flexibility of human metabolism (which we share with other organisms) puts our chemists to shame. For example, starting from a single synthetic nutrient already mentioned, glycerine, the body can make all the carbohydrates it needs, most of the fats, and about half the amino acid used to build proteins. Some nutrients cannot be made in the body, for example essential amino acids and vitamins, but only one of these - Vitamin B12 - is expensive and difficult to synthesize in the laboratory. Fortunately the body needs only a little of it - a thousandth of an ounce is a lifetime supply. To complete the diet, minerals like calcium and iron, and trace elements like copper and molybdenum, obtained from igneous and sedimentary rocks, are added."
