Yes I knew about the side effects, but your wrong on the mg scale. Cows milk is still the highest, and even then we would need three servings a day to hit our quota. It's not hard to realize that something is missing from our diet.
Here is a link to a Harvard study that says milk isn't the best source of calcium:
www.hsph.harvard.edu...
Ok but your going to have to eat about 12 servings of these to meet your quota, and thats just in calcium, your not planning for anything else you might need in your daily diet.
And a link to 10 veggies that are high in calcium:
www.fitday.com...
No, we don't eat grass. We eat celery, almonds, soybeans, etc, etc.
[What other health benefits does seaweed have?
It is packed full of minerals. "For example, it may contain between seven and 14 times as much calcium as milk, depending on the type of seaweed," says dietician Nigel Denby. Seaweed also contains essential fatty acids.
/ex]www.telegraph.co.uk... The problem is that its contaminaded with several unhealthy things, but that could have been a result of our own doing. Did you get that, as much as 14 times higher than milk. Now thats calcium, you could eat 1/4 of a serving and still be over for the day which is excellent. We just need to get all the unwanted things out of it.
Yuck, well at least we have plenty of it, LOL.
You will have to gorge yourself on your items to hit your RDA.

First off I have to apologize because I know you came into this discussion in the middle of it, we were looking for natural foods. Ceareal, and even cows milk would both be considered not natural. However I am shocked at the calcium value of the ceareal, The are either including milk on that or its fortified with calcium.
Let me help you dispel this belief:
milk.procon.org...
On this list you can see that sardines and whole grain cereals surpass calcium. Cereal does it by more than 500% by serving.
High? You do understand that you need about 1000 mg per day of calcium right? Those greens aren't going to cut it unless its all you eat in the day.
And things like greens still rank high.
I understand, but the fact is I don't believe that DNA can just change on its own without reason, like evolution does. Where would that place us today with homicide cases and paternity cases knowing that DNA can just change on its own without warning or reason? It honeslty makes no sense. I know you don't know what drives it, scientists are just seeing change and going, hey, there goes evolution again.
You do not understand nature.
There doesn't have to be intelligent thought for the fact that nature is fractal. We don't know what drives it...only that it is an obvious truth. DNA is a facet of this fractal framework that the universe follows. Believe it or not, it will still remain truth.
Mitosis looks like it might be limited to fungi and bacteria while tRNA I had to read up about. This transistion never seems to accomodate any found change, so I'm not seeing what any of this has to do with evoltuion.
edit on 17-8-2012 by itsthetooth because: (no reason given)
Did you read my response, I did indicate that I read them, and I also stated that I was specifically looking for natural foods, and that processed milk or processed ceareal don't count as being natural.
Did you click the links i gave you? Or just guess what was in them?
It is when your only considering natural foods.
The very, very top of the list of calcium in the list I provided is cereal. You don't have to eat 12 servings a day, you only need 3/4 cup. If i eat cereal, 3/4 cup is maybe 1/3 of what I will eat.
In 3/4 cup cereal you get 1104mg calcium. In 1 cup milk, you get 290. You don't even have to be good at math to see all the holes in your theory.
Well then your not getting half of your RDA of calcium. This could catch up with you later on in life, and you could develope Ostieoperosis.
I eat a fairly raw and paleo diet. No processed foods at all Supper consists of meats, maybe some cheese maybe not, and a veggie. i get the majority of my calcium through my veggies. I intake around 400mg/day (i have this data because of my own recent weight loss, and my need to ensure my nutrition while tinkering with foods).
Even still, at the top of the fish list is sardines yet you would still need 5.4 servings per day. If your just eating regular fish, your going to need even more.
I eat a TON of fish. Fish are very, very high in calcium:
These are so low in calcium that I would almost call them empty fillers.
www.dietandfitnesstoday.com...
I eat a lot of nuts as well:
www.ehow.com...
Almonds in particular, as they are high in fiber and calcium, low in carbs. 75mg/serving
And lets not forget those leafy greens:
www.vrg.org...
3 cups of collards will set you straight in a day, but you might find that your taking up so much room to hit your calcium level that other things are going to suffer. Its just to low to maintain any balance.
My collards are 357/cup.
No three cups of greens will set you straight but I don't think your going to have that much room.
My turnips are 249/cup. Kale: 179/cup. Mustard: 159/cup. I eat a lot of these. And with the average male only needing about 400-500/day, you can see that with just one meal of meat and veggie (where i eat 2 servings of meat, and maybe 1 to 1.5 servings of greens), I get more calcium than I need.
Milk is actually better but again it has side effects.
All of the above are as high in calcium as milk.
As long as you can gorge yourself on 1000 mg per day, and still have room for the rest of all your needs, you should be fine, but I don't think thats going to happen when you are taken up half of your days diet in greens or fish.
And let us not forget, that man is typically a freshwater dependant creature. We have typically lived by streams and oceans our entire existence. We have already established above the calcium rich properties of fish. What of other sea borne foods, like seaweed? Kelp has 136mg/cup.
Oh no, there is no shortage, its just that they are not high enough in value to help. You end up having to gorge yourself on them just to try to get by.
There is absoltuely no shortage of calcium rich, natural and raw foods.
Sure but they proabaly have a higher intake then us, and don't require as much as we do based on the amount of food per mg per day.
I mean, bears don't drink milk....where do they get calcium for their large bone mass? Or elephants? Or cows? They all get them from vegetation. Calcium is a critical mineral for things like structure and electrical signals, etc. It is in everything. Plants as well. That is why massive herbivores have massive bones, and aren't just writhing and wiggling masses.
Well he's talking about eating 12 servings just to hit his RDA on calcium. Does it sound like he's going to have room for anything else?
Ok, first off, let's fix your grammar a little bit. 'Your' is possessive, meant to indicate that something is someone's. Example: Your post was not thought out. 'You're' is a combination of two words, 'you' and 'are.' Example: You're making posts that do not exhibit critical thinking skills.
Now, onto your post information. You seem to be assuming that these foods are all this guy is eating in one day. Obviously, he is eating combinations of them. How can you assert that he is lacking nutrition based on your analysis of single pieces of his diet?
Who is this we? Oh I see the old question mark ploy. The one you always use when you cannot answer a question. This coming from you, a guy that makes more spelling mistakes than the Daily Mail and cannot form one coherent sentence.
We have allready established that your not the best at asking questions. So I suggest you retry and make sure to put a question mark on the end.
Above is proof of my last statement. So what is it. We were not designed or we were? Besides that piece of nonsense you have not answered my point again. All you offer is your stupidity and foundation less opinions. That matey is not proof.
There is no way, we could have been designed whether you follow evolution or creation, either way we are designed.
Are you just playing the fool or are you really that dumb. How can I show you what does not exist? More telling is that you cannot come up with a target food or any proof showing it discredits evolution as your thread title claims
I'm still going to take the side that if you were honestly against the idea of target food, you would just produce some ideas for target food for humans to shut me up
Your foundation less opinion is not proof of anything more than your lack of education.
However you failed to do so. It's more proof that we aren't from here.
The only incredulous guy here is you. I have come up with many arguments; many questions and you have not addressed or answered a single one or anyone elses. Again your stupid reply is in place of the answers you should be giving but never do. Pathetic.
When someone as incredulous as yourself is unable to produce even the slightest of an argument, well that pretty much seals it. I would have figured that you would have at least tried.
Your the one that doesn't converse in english.

See what I mean, what the hell is a pudding?
So that’s a positive that you cannot answer my points or answer my questions. What a pudding
Just because I don't make any bold claims that we are created for sure, or whatever, doesn't mean target food doesn't exist.
There is no way, we could have been designed whether you follow evolution or creation, either way we are designed.
Above is proof of my last statement. So what is it. We were not designed or we were? Besides that piece of nonsense you have not answered my point again. All you offer is your stupidity and foundation less opinions. That matey is not proof.
The way you can show me is by using the same examples I gave you of target food like the ant and the anteater, and kale and the abalone, and millet and the parakeet.
I'm still going to take the side that if you were honestly against the idea of target food, you would just produce some ideas for target food for humans to shut me up
Are you just playing the fool or are you really that dumb. How can I show you what does not exist? More telling is that you cannot come up with a target food or any proof showing it discredits evolution as your thread title claims
Well you sure act like your stumped, if I can come up with target food, why can't you? Whats a matter, chicken?
However you failed to do so. It's more proof that we aren't from here.
Your foundation less opinion is not proof of anything more than your lack of education.
The only pathetic arguments you were able to come up with was the tree sparrow having a relationship with man, when he actually has a relationship with our homes, and the bee having a relationship with man, when it actually has a relationship with our crops, and that wolves are actually our friends, which must be the reason why they are illegal to own.
The only incredulous guy here is you. I have come up with many arguments; many questions and you have not addressed or answered a single one or anyone elses. Again your stupid reply is in place of the answers you should be giving but never do. Pathetic
You really have no ability to answer any question do you. I asked for proof of your claim
The proof that we recieved these good is all in the bible.
And again you have not provided any which after the 3rd time of asking is a pretty pathetic reflection on your dishonesty and level of ignorance.
Well first of all these herbs were one of the things that were also brought to earth, at least according to the bible. Second, I'm not impressed by what they do. Granted we have harvested them, and make medication out of them, but what do you expect having a herb from probably every planet.
Again. Target food is your term. YOU made it up and now claim it proves evolution wrong. It is up to YOU to provide the proof, no one else.
Its YOU that has the meaningless reply. Your not providing proof on how a species knows as a whole what to magically eat.
What the hell would we run target food for? Does target food now need exercise before we eat it?
Your also not providing proof that when do run our of target food, how they all magically know what to go after next.
Where did you study, children’s television?
They don't all have cell phones so how is it that they all end up eating the same things?
YOU are the one that needs to put up or shut up. Replying to my questions is not answering them. I don’t except your replies because they are just your unfounded opinion and that is worth squat.
Colin put up or shut up, your being a real horses ass. All you do is demand answers to question, and then when I answer them, your not happy with the answers.
On the contrary I am very happy. Every poster here tells you how wrong you are. Complains you never answer one question and calls into question your knowledge, integrity and ability to read what is in front of you with any level of understanding at all.
Your not happy because YOUR WRONG, and you can't accept the truth.

There are many pages here that prove you wrong. I refer you back to those.

You cannot even answer your glaring error

So was we designed or not designed? This is the question
There is no way, we could have been designed whether you follow evolution or creation, either way we are designed.
You cannot even tell me what the target food is for the ant or even if the ant and the anteater are from here. The Abalone is a large family and the parakeet you have already been shown eats a much more varied diet than millet. Don’t you remember or learn anything.
The way you can show me is by using the same examples I gave you of target food like the ant and the anteater, and kale and the abalone, and millet and the parakeet.
Quite simply, I am not that stupid. Now show your evidence.
Well you sure act like your stumped, if I can come up with target food, why can't you?
And we are back to you being around 10 or 12 years old at best. That may work in the playground but you are talking to adults. Try to act like one.
Whats a matter, chicken?
Yep and beat you senseless with those as well. You still feel the pain I see.
The only pathetic arguments you were able to come up with was the tree sparrow having a relationship with man, when he actually has a relationship with our homes, and the bee having a relationship with man, when it actually has a relationship with our crops, and that wolves are actually our friends, which must be the reason why they are illegal to own.
You really have no respect for historical documents do you? All you can do is give reason about how you have replaced a historical document with a pseudo science theory.
The proof that we recieved these good is all in the bible.
You really have no ability to answer any question do you. I asked for proof of your claim
Your commenting on a reply that as far as I remember first of all wasn't from you, and second was about how its odd that we seem to have every medical herb that we could possibly need, as though they were made for us. Sure if you look at it from a creation point of view, you can't imagine evolution planning anything out for us as it doesn't work that way, but it just ends up that way right?
Well first of all these herbs were one of the things that were also brought to earth, at least according to the bible. Second, I'm not impressed by what they do. Granted we have harvested them, and make medication out of them, but what do you expect having a herb from probably every planet.
And again you have not provided any which after the 3rd time of asking is a pretty pathetic reflection on your dishonesty and level of ignorance.
Maybe your not understanding my prior answers about this. Target food exists as proven through anteaters, ants, and aphids. Target food exists through abolone and kelp, and actually nothing else. But you seem to shy away from commenting about this one. Target food also exists in the fact that a parakeets main staple diet is millet seed. Which qualifies it as a target food providing it's not a replacement to another and actually delivers a high amount of nutritients to the bird.
Its YOU that has the meaningless reply. Your not providing proof on how a species knows as a whole what to magically eat.
Again. Target food is your term. YOU made it up and now claim it proves evolution wrong. It is up to YOU to provide the proof, no one else.
I'm not the one claiming that, scientests are, this is why you can ask what a species eats, and they can deliver an answer. If one eats, hay, they all eat hay, if one doesn't eat apples, they all don't eat apples, are you not seeing the flaw in this whole made up excuse that they just eat whatever.
YOU are the one that is claiming a species magically knows what to eat as it is you that claims it was intended by some supernatural being. Now YOU provide the evidence and we both know you cannot.
Run OUT of target food, seriously if you weren't able to see that, your not on track.
Your also not providing proof that when do run our of target food, how they all magically know what to go after next.
What the hell would we run target food for? Does target food now need exercise before we eat it
And so you answer a question with a question. It's just another way of telling me that I must have to valid of a point, as your carefull not to address it.
They don't all have cell phones so how is it that they all end up eating the same things?
Where did you study, children’s television?
What I share on here is the furthest thing from opinion. The fact that a species as a whole eats the same things, is not an opinion. The fact that the anteater is a fine tuned machine for harvesting and eating ants, is not an opinion. The fact that humans don't have a target food to speak of is not an opinion. The fact that our menu seems to be missing a generous supply of calcium, is obviously not an opinion.
Colin put up or shut up, your being a real horses ass. All you do is demand answers to question, and then when I answer them, your not happy with the answers.
YOU are the one that needs to put up or shut up. Replying to my questions is not answering them. I don’t except your replies because they are just your unfounded opinion and that is worth squat.
Well thats where you an I differ Colin, I'm not here to listen to their opinions, as I don't share my own, I present facts and if I'm wrong, I want to be proven wrong. I have dared you dozens of times to do so in the realm of target food and still you sit at the bench like a childish choir boy.
Your not happy because YOUR WRONG, and you can't accept the truth.
On the contrary I am very happy. Every poster here tells you how wrong you are. Complains you never answer one question and calls into question your knowledge, integrity and ability to read what is in front of you with any level of understanding at all.
Worse still you would not recognise the truth if you were slapped in the face with it. No I am very happy with how you are performing. Show casing your ignorance and dishonesty. Bravo.
BTW 'YOUR' describes something like your car or your ignorance. ‘You’re’ is used to say 'you are'. Try to get it right just once in a while.
What do you mean was we? How about were we, OMG colin go back to school
Your the one that doesn't converse in english.
There are many pages here that prove you wrong. I refer you back to those.
See what I mean, what the hell is a pudding?
Take a long look in the mirror and say hello.
Just because I don't make any bold claims that we are created for sure, or whatever, doesn't mean target food doesn't exist.
You cannot even answer your glaring error
There is no way, we could have been designed whether you follow evolution or creation, either way we are designed.
So was we designed or not designed? This is the question
Aphids like I said appear to qualify as a target food for ants. Out of all of the variations of abolone, they ALL eat kelp, and kelp alone. Excellent show if target food with no questions. Yes of course parakeets eat a varried diet, but like I stated, and you obviously ignored, like you always do, the majority of what they eat is millet.
The way you can show me is by using the same examples I gave you of target food like the ant and the anteater, and kale and the abalone, and millet and the parakeet.
You cannot even tell me what the target food is for the ant or even if the ant and the anteater are from here. The Abalone is a large family and the parakeet you have already been shown eats a much more varied diet than millet. Don’t you remember or learn anything.
What? evidence to the target food...
Again it is your claim. You provide real evidence
Well you sure act like your stumped, if I can come up with target food, why can't you?
Quite simply, I am not that stupid. Now show your evidence.
I obviously feel sorry for you, you have run a horrible debate about evolution and target food. You have been incredulous to the point that you even fib on some of the facts, like claiming that humans live in the wild with all of nature. Or claiming that human processes are just as good as natural even though I have shared the definition multiple times.
Whats a matter, chicken?
And we are back to you being around 10 or 12 years old at best. That may work in the playground but you are talking to adults. Try to act like one.
No colin, I could see thorugh your lies and deception, you didn't pull anything over my eyes.
The only pathetic arguments you were able to come up with was the tree sparrow having a relationship with man, when he actually has a relationship with our homes, and the bee having a relationship with man, when it actually has a relationship with our crops, and that wolves are actually our friends, which must be the reason why they are illegal to own.
Yep and beat you senseless with those as well. You still feel the pain I see.

Great posts but would just like to correct you. We eat loads of wheat, corn barley and rice. All grasses and just like the cow we get a lot of calcium by doing so.
No, we don't eat grass. We eat celery, almonds, soybeans, etc, etc.
I have more respect for those than you do for the truth. I have already invited you to debate your use of the bible as a 'clear historical document'. You failed to even take part and thus lost the right to make another baseless claim. Don’t bother to roll out your link. I challenged you on it. Showed you cherry picked from it already.
You really have no respect for historical documents do you?
Oh dear the irony. Go tell the religious scholars who spend a lifetime studying and debating the meaning of the bible your fairy tale that only you know. Boy you work hard at keeping the title of Pinocchio.
All you can do is give reason about how you have replaced a historical document with a pseudo science theory.
The purpose of your thread was to show how 'target food' proves evolution wrong. You have failed epically so the only one that needs to realise it and get over it is little old you.
Evolution has never been proven, and it never can be, get over it and realize that.
I know it was not from me. It was from you? If due to your very poor English you meant to say your comment was not directed at me. News for you. This is an open forum and I can reply to what the hell I want. GET OVER IT.
Your commenting on a reply that as far as I remember first of all wasn't from you,
And you made another unfounded statement.
and second was about how its odd that we seem to have every medical herb that we could possibly need, as though they were made for us.
And again I see no evidence to back up your claim for the fourth time just more of your nonsense opinion. So I take it you cannot back up your claim as usual.
Well first of all these herbs were one of the things that were also brought to earth, at least according to the bible. Second, I'm not impressed by what they do. Granted we have harvested them, and make medication out of them, but what do you expect having a herb from probably every planet.
What preceded this had nothing to do with you providing the evidence for your statement. If getting a religion means I end up like you I prefer to live without one.
Get a new religion is all I can tell you.
Jeeze you really are the ultimate in ignorance.
Maybe your not understanding my prior answers about this. Target food exists as proven through anteaters, ants, and aphids
Again what preceded the above was total mindless, garbled uneducated nonsense. A species does not eat whatever. It eats what it has evolved to eat that is why lions have big, sharp teeth and the anteater has none. Why fish shoal and animals form herds for protection from predators. Why the ratio of predator to prey can even be seen in the fossil records. You really are clueless.
If species just ate whatever, we would not be able to answer questions like that. But it doesn't shock me that evolution took yet another mindless jab in its horrible made up theory.
I have never once seen, read or heard any scientist talk about intended food let alone target food. Show your supporting evidence for your statement above.
I'm not the one claiming that, scientests are, this is why you can ask what a species eats, and they can deliver an answer.
You really need to learn how to use commas and full stops. Hay is grass that man cuts and stores as animal feed FYI HAY
If one eats, hay, they all eat hay, if one doesn't eat apples, they all don't eat apples, are you not seeing the flaw in this whole made up excuse that they just eat whatever.
Try to get at least one thing correct.
Hay is grass, legumes or other herbaceous plants that have been cut, dried, and stored for use as animal fodder, particularly for grazing livestock such as cattle, horses, goats, and sheep.
Pal, you come out with so much crap it is hard to tell if it is a typo or just crazy.
Run OUT of target food, seriously if you weren't able to see that, your not on track.
If you make a statement about animals having cell phones don’t expect an answer any different than I gave
And so you answer a question with a question. It's just another way of telling me that I must have to valid of a point, as your carefull not to address it.
It is only you cranky opinion. For it to be anything else you need supporting evidence. Where is it?
What I share on here is the furthest thing from opinion.
An organism does not evolve alone. Its advantages are spread throughout the group it lives and breeds in and is then selected for by the environment so of course they all eat the same food. How many times do you need this explained? Jeeze get an education.
The fact that a species as a whole eats the same things, is not an opinion.
Evolution shows with evidence how that fine tuning happens and never once mentions 'target food' or transportation from other planets.
The fact that the anteater is a fine tuned machine for harvesting and eating ants, is not an opinion.
It is only an opinion and worse still your opinion and will remain so until you can provide evidence showing otherwise. As yet you have failed to provide any proof target food exists. THAT MEANS IT IS JUST YOUR OPINION.
The fact that humans don't have a target food to speak of is not an opinion.
You have had many people explain with supporting evidence how ignorant your statement is made worse by your refusal to understand anything you are told. You have milked the subject to death and been found ignorant every time. Get over it, move on as it is another car crash for you.
The fact that our menu seems to be missing a generous supply of calcium, is obviously not an opinion.
You and I differ in every way mate. The above comment shows how dishonest and plainly out of touch with reality you are.
Well thats where you an I differ Colin, I'm not here to listen to their opinions, as I don't share my own, I present facts and if I'm wrong, I want to be proven wrong.
8 to 10 years old, you cannot be any older than that. What is 'the realm of target food?'
I have dared you dozens of times to do so in the realm of target food and still you sit at the bench like a childish choir boy.
