It is impossible to know or assume that minerals are or aren't a standard part of other planets.
Salt is part of any healthy diet. Too little or too much causes a wide range of serious illnesses. The fact you do not consider it part of your fantasy food shows how little research you have done. No wonder you cannot support your claims with any evidence at all.
Salt is abound, there is no reason to think that we are in dyer need of salt, I'm sorry but your observation is pointless and would be better on a salt thread.
The calcium it contains is not man made. You have ranted over many pages about calcium but because it does not fit your fantasy sodium is ruled out. Mllk also contains sodium (salt).BTW.
So if you rule out salt then you rule out milk. If you still choose to ignore the salt content of any diet you also rule out target food as being anything more than a childish fantasy.
I'm sorry but common salt has nothing to do with target food, as its in abundance.
Dont worry about me and other threads. I have asked you these questions in THIS thread and you have still avoided giving any answer other than your ignorant denial. Worry about that.
Of the consumer.
1. Target food is food that has all the needs of the organism contained.
Most likely a few but not many.
2 Target food may be one food or it may be many different foods
Provided you have ruled out extinctions yes.
3. Not having a target food means you are definitely not from here.
As per the bible many things were brought here, except OUR things from our home.
4. Having a target food does not automatically mean you are from here
I don't remember ruling out fossil records but ok.
5. An organisms target food may have become extinct
(#3 directly contradicts #5 and #5 cannot be confirmed as you have ruled the fossil record out.
No calcium is an important factor in OUR food.
6. You claim that calcium (a mineral) is an important factor in target food
There is nothing special about it to lead me to believe that is any different from water or air.
7. You state salt (sodium a mineral) has nothing to do with target food
(Sodium is even more important than calcium on a daily basis but you fail to explain why calcium is in and sodium is out). The obvious answer is you don’t have a clue.
Target foods require no cultivation as they grow naturally without the assistance of man.
8. You claim a target food should take no effort to get but cannot explain if target food is still target food if it is later cultivated to maintain supplies.
The only thing special about calcium is how we are missing a main source for it. We have no natural source for calcium in the mg that we need.
Calcium is very common as well (even in sea water) but you seem to give that some importance while ignoring salt. Further, all species on this planet have salt as a dietary need. You claim salt has nothing to do with target food ergo only those creatures that do not have salt in their diet can have a target food and so must not be from here.
Our tounge may have such receptors but since our food isn't here, its irrelivent.
Really!!! the tongue and taste buds have nothing to do with food target or otherwise? Is that your claim?
Really!!! The fact that too little or too much salt in food results in serious health conditions and even death? That has nothing to do with a healthy diet which you claim target food to be? Really?
The truth is you cannot answer those questions and if you tried target food is even further disproved. You claim you want people to disprove it and then reject questions that do just that. The questions stand:
Can you explain why the tongue has areas that specifically identify salt?
Can you now explain why every animal on this planet would die if they get too much salt?
Can you explain why you had to be told the answer?
Prove it.
Nope. You are only interested in maintaining your silly fantasy.
Salt has no serious bearing on target food, perhaps you should look into another thread that is talking about salt.
Perhaps you should answer the questions you are asked about target food.
Asking me questions about salt has nothing to do with target food.
And you do find it challenging and fail to rise to that challenge far to often. Just like you fail to answer and address the questions you are asked on target food.
And it does, so does air, water, calcium and many other things.
Edit: From what you claim is your historical document:
Job said, 'The ear tests the words it hears just as the mouth distinguishes between foods.'
From the bible
The bible on salt
Salt is a necessity of life and was a mineral that was used since ancient times in many cultures as a seasoning, a preservative, a disinfectant, a component of ceremonial offerings, and as a unit of exchange. The Bible contains numerous references to salt. In various contexts, it is used metaphorically to signify permanence, loyalty, durability, fidelity, usefulness, value, and purification.
The bible thinks both the tongue and salt play a vital role in a diet
Another of your traits, random answers to questions not asked. Give your reasons why salt has nothing to do with target food as asked.

You obviously need to address this on a salt thread.
I see your grasp of the English language has taken a dive again. You have given a random answer and not addressed the point I made. Do that

What a stupid answer. Do you train to be that dense? Who else would it benefit?
1. Target food is food that has all the needs of the organism contained.
1A Of the consumer.
You have been asked before and refused to answer. How many constitutes a few in this context?
2 Target food may be one food or it may be many different foods
2A. Most likely a few but not many.
See #5. You ruled out the fossil record many times. Therefore you cannot rule out extinctions and have no way to prove your stipulation above. So until you can target food does not offer proof of being native to this planet. So now you have admitted this stop making that claim.
3. Not having a target food means you are definitely not from here.
3A. Provided you have ruled out extinctions yes.
I see no evidence. I see no supporting link. Show where this is written.
4. Having a target food does not automatically mean you are from here
4A. As per the bible many things were brought here, except OUR things from our home.
You rule out the fossil record every time it suits your argument and that has been many times. Still, you cannot show proof of extinctions so that is you making assumptions. What do you base those assumptions on?
5. An organisms target food may have become extinct
(#3 directly contradicts #5 and #5 cannot be confirmed as you have ruled the fossil record out.
I don't remember ruling out fossil records but ok.
It is an important factor in the food of ALL life. Are you claiming target food does not include calcium? Can you tell me what the bones of the anteater are made from?
6. You claim that calcium (a mineral) is an important factor in target food
6A. No calcium is an important factor in OUR food.
Many here have explained why it is important. You have not explained why calcium is in and sodium is out. You meant target air BTW.
7. You state salt (sodium a mineral) has nothing to do with target food
(Sodium is even more important than calcium on a daily basis but you fail to explain why calcium is in and sodium is out). The obvious answer is you don’t have a clue.
7A There is nothing special about it to lead me to believe that is any different from water or air.
I gave you the example of the wing nut and the wing nut eaters. Where the wing nut was a target food but for some reason needed to be grown as it could no longer do this alone. I asked if the same wing nut now being cultivated is still target food or no longer target food.
8. You claim a target food should take no effort to get but cannot explain if target food is still target food if it is later cultivated to maintain supplies.
8A. Target foods require no cultivation as they grow naturally without the assistance of man.
Vegans would strongly disagree with you. Any dietician would laugh at you. Your teacher would hold their head in shame at your level of education.
The only thing special about calcium is how we are missing a main source for it. We have no natural source for calcium in the mg that we need.

Job said, 'The ear tests the words it hears just as the mouth distinguishes between foods.'

Been done many times. I refer you back to these many pages.
Nope. You are only interested in maintaining your silly fantasy.

You really are so cowardly, so deep in denial that you are totally incapable of giving a straight answer to a straight question
Perhaps you should answer the questions you are asked about target food.
Salt has no serious bearing on target food, perhaps you should look into another thread that is talking about salt.
I have made a strong case that it does and your denial of that confirms it. You know the only reason to refuse to answer is you are covering a lie. You know target food is complete bunk and your refusal to answer the questions asked is confirmation of that
And you do find it challenging and fail to rise to that challenge far to often. Just like you fail to answer and address the questions you are asked on target food.
Asking me questions about salt has nothing to do with target food.
So your agreement must mean salt plays a part in any real diet. Only in a poorly thought out fantasy can salt be ignored. I give you target food.

That would be because I'm choosing to not answer things about a topic that has no business on this thread.

It also contains a lot of other things, whats the point.
The calcium it contains is not manmade. You have ranted over many pages about calcium but because it does not fit your fantasy sodium is ruled out. Milk also contains sodium (salt).BTW.
Salt doesn't rule anything out anymore than air does.
So if you rule out salt then you rule out milk. If you still choose to ignore the salt content of any diet you also rule out target food as being anything more than a childish fantasy.
Because humans are lacking a natural proper supply of it.
So is calcium why does that play a vital role and not sodium?
Target food only benefits the consumer.
What a stupid answer. Do you train to be that dense? Who else would it benefit?
A few is less than many.
You have been asked before and refused to answer. How many constitutes a few in this context?
How does fossil records rule out target food?
See #5. You ruled out the fossil record many times. Therefore you cannot rule out extinctions and have no way to prove your stipulation above. So until you can target food does not offer proof of being native to this planet. So now you have admitted this stop making that claim.
I don't know what your talking about.
I see no evidence. I see no supporting link. Show where this is written.
Fossils are a fine way to determine extinctions.
You rule out the fossil record every time it suits your argument and that has been many times. Still, you cannot show proof of extinctions so that is you making assumptions. What do you base those assumptions on?
I never claimed calcium was or wasn't included in target food.
It is an important factor in the food of ALL life. Are you claiming target food does not include calcium? Can you tell me what the bones of the anteater are made from
I don't understand what you mean by in and out.

A simple question you still cannot answer.
The diary and supplement industry wont.
Vegans would strongly disagree with you. Any dietician would laugh at you. Your teacher would hold their head in shame at your level of education.
Of course it has something to do with health but it has nothing to do with how target food is determined.
Really!!! the tongue and taste buds have nothing to do with food target or otherwise? Is that your claim?
Really!!! The fact that too little or too much salt in food results in serious health conditions and even death? That has nothing to do with a healthy diet which you claim target food to be? Really?
The importance of salt or calcium for that matter play no major role in the determination of target food. You want a different thread for that.
The truth is you cannot answer those questions and if you tried target food is even further disproved. You claim you want people to disprove it and then reject questions that do just that. The questions stand:
Can you explain why the tongue has areas that specifically identify salt?
Can you now explain why every animal on this planet would die if they get too much salt?
Can you explain why you had to be told the answer?
And the eyes can see color, you can make assumptions like your doing but there is no proof.
Not irrelevant in the bible it seems
From what you claim is your historical document:
Job said, 'The ear tests the words it hears just as the mouth distinguishes between foods.'
From the bible
Tongues DO HAVE these taste buds. All mammals have the same ones. The tongue also plays a part in pulping the food and directs it down the gullet. Hardly irrelevant but let us go back to the bible quote. ''The ear tests the words it hears just as the mouth disting
the taste buds aren't to direct them to possible food and choose, its to tell them if there is anything wrong with the food they are eating. You see if you were correct, varied quadrants of a species would be eating different diets based on personal choice, but thats the problem, there is never personal choice in these diets.
Tongues DO HAVE these taste buds. All mammals have the same ones. The tongue also plays a part in pulping the food and directs it down the gullet. Hardly irrelevant but let us go back to the bible quote. ''The ear tests the words it hears just as the mouth distinguishes between foods'.
For any animal that has a tongue this is the role it plays. The animal tests the food by taste not only for type but for ripeness. That is no way irrelevant so you still have not answered the questions posed.
Can you explain why the tongue has areas that specifically identify salt?
Can you now explain why every animal on this planet would die if they get too much salt?
Can you explain why you had to be told the answer?
Excess ANYTHING could cause the species to not eat the food.
You really are so cowardly, so deep in denial that you are totally incapable of giving a straight answer to a straight question
So the lack of or excess of salt plays no part in a diet whether that be real diet or fictional target food? Your target food fantasy fails again.
So you claim, but I'm not looking for claims, I'm looking for proof, just as easily as target food can be seen.
I have made a strong case that it does and your denial of that confirms it. You know the only reason to refuse to answer is you are covering a lie. You know target food is complete bunk and your refusal to answer the questions asked is confirmation of that
Of course its necessary, so is air, and water, and nitrogen, and carbon, and calcium and many other things.
So your agreement must mean salt plays a part in any real diet. Only in a poorly thought out fantasy can salt be ignored. I give you target food.
Salt is special enough for a region of the tongue to be dedicated to recognising salt. Still waiting your answer on that one.
Your bible says 'Salt is a necessity of life.' Are you going to ignore what you claim is a clear historical document?
Which is NOT the same thing as eating rocks, you lied again. Even the wiki about it never used the word rock even once.
The fact that they dont know how this happened is proof that it has not been proven. As I stated earlier on colins thread, ADHD was witnessed changing our genes, I also provided a link proving this. Some genes were being multiplied and some were being erased. Since this was newley found, that means that prior to this discovery these changes would have been understood as being evolution at work. As you can see this is false, and I believe there is an explanation for all changes that have occured, they just haven't figured it out yet so resort to accepting evolution as the reason.
You were the one that brought that charlatan into this thread, not me. You have continued to depend that liar, not me.
No its because this thread isn't about Pye and you trying to prove him wrong, its about target food.
If google doesn't offer it, thats not my fault.
Well this explains why you are so obstinate, you just don't get the point and are always reasking or restating the same things. Are you sure you don't have a learning dissability?
Eating rocks, and licking minerals are two very different things.
And you would be correct from the understanding we have of seperating life. I'm looking at it from the deers perspective. You lack insight.
Sorry you are wrong again, google had no match for either word singular or plural.
Well salt can be in rock form but it doesn't have to be. So you lied again.
The fact that only intelligence can be responsible for programming species to know what to eat is the obvious proof.
No people believe in evolution because they want an explanation without having to rely on religion.
The only thing that evolution has done, is found a way to overwright religion, all the way down to offering an explanation of creation without calling it creation, but it still is.
I did, the deer obviously doesn't care as he has a scatterd diet within a forseeable group.
It never states they are incomplete, so you are wrong for assuming.
There is lots of proof in the thread.
Milk is an obvious man made supplement.
All species take some form of salt. Even in sea water there is salt. It's so common that it doesn't prove who is from here or not.
I prefer the challenge of spelling.
the taste buds aren't to direct them to possible food and choose, its to tell them if there is anything wrong with the food they are eating. You see if you were correct, varied quadrants of a species would be eating different diets based on personal choice, but thats the problem, there is never personal choice in these diets.
Firstly you made the statement that target food proves evolution wrong. You have yet to give any valid examples of target food. so it is up to you to answer questions not ask them.
Salt is a random answer to questions not asked.
What, dietary questions on the subject of target food? Admit it, you don’t have the answers.
That would be because I'm choosing to not answer things about a topic that has no business on this thread.
How many times does the point have to be made? Once again. You have given calcium a lot of importance here and in the other thread. Why is sodium of no importance when calcium is?
It also contains a lot of other things, whats the point.
Again it is you that has ruled out salt. Even your bible calls says 'Salt is a necessity of life.' Are you going to ignore information from what you claim is a clear historical document?
Salt doesn't rule anything out anymore than air does.
Hold on. You have made the statement this thread is about target food. You have also stated humans do not have a target food so why do you mention them when you are being asked to give an example of target food? Live by your new mantra and stay on topic.
So is calcium why does that play a vital role and not sodium?
Because humans are lacking a natural proper supply of it.
That is the case for any food which illustrates my comment above. .
What a stupid answer. Do you train to be that dense? Who else would it benefit?
Target food only benefits the consumer.
As expected, another refusal to answer. A few out of 100 could be 2. A few out of a thousand could be 100 and a few out of millions could be 1000's. I asked you for a range in the context of target food. As an expert you should have the answer. Do that or fly your flag of dishonesty yet again.
You have been asked before and refused to answer. How many constitutes a few in this context?
A few is less than many.
You seem incapable of reading what is in front of you. You do not accept the fossil record and so you cannot use it to rule out extinctions. You keep throwing this up as a stipulation yet have no way to prove it.
See #5. You ruled out the fossil record many times. Therefore you cannot rule out extinctions and have no way to prove your stipulation above. So until you can target food does not offer proof of being native to this planet. So now you have admitted this stop making that claim.
How does fossil records rule out target food?
Nope. You really don’t do you Supporting Evidence. Links just like the one I just supplied not the ones you supply to google front page.
4. Having a target food does not automatically mean you are from here
4A. As per the bible many things were brought here, except OUR things from our home
4B. I see no evidence. I see no supporting link. Show where this is written.
4C I don't know what your talking about.
Hope that helps.

Oh right so you now accept the fossil records of the extinct relatives/ancestors of the anteater. I doubt this is progress as I feel another about face about to come my way.
You rule out the fossil record every time it suits your argument and that has been many times. Still, you cannot show proof of extinctions so that is you making assumptions. What do you base those assumptions on?
Fossils are a fine way to determine extinctions.
You have spammed your ignorance on the subject many times and been proven wrong just as many times. You must feel it plays an important role as you wrote earlier.
It is an important factor in the food of ALL life. Are you claiming target food does not include calcium? Can you tell me what the bones of the anteater are made from?
I never claimed calcium was or wasn't included in target food.
So you seem to have placed a HELL of a lot of importance on calcium but hey you did not answer my question.
I have researched to the depths of hell looking into the pros and cons about calcium. It's apparent that humans are MISSING some type of source of calcium.
Another thing you suddenly don’t understand. Try harder then answer my point.
Many here have explained why it is important. You have not explained why calcium is in and sodium is out. You meant target air BTW.
I don't understand what you mean by in and out.
Stay on topic, we are talking about target food here. In the example I gave above the target food, wing nuts can no longer grow without the intervention of the wing nut eaters (did not say humans). Is it still target food?
I gave you the example of the wing nut and the wing nut eaters. Where the wing nut was a target food but for some reason needed to be grown as it could no longer do this alone. I asked if the same wing nut now being cultivated is still target food or no longer target food.
A simple question you still cannot answer.
Natural foods are not cultivated.
That again is not the point I made in response to your ignorant statement. Respond to that.
The only thing special about calcium is how we are missing a main source for it. We have no natural source for calcium in the mg that we need.
Vegans would strongly disagree with you. Any dietician would laugh at you. Your teacher would hold their head in shame at your level of education.
The diary and supplement industry wont.
So do I take it target food has no taste or a taste that is only palatable to one species?
Really!!! the tongue and taste buds have nothing to do with food target or otherwise? Is that your claim?
Really!!! The fact that too little or too much salt in food results in serious health conditions and even death? That has nothing to do with a healthy diet which you claim target food to be? Really?
Of course it has something to do with health but it has nothing to do with how target food is determined.
So as I stated way back you will now drop forever the subject of milk in this thread. You also see no part a food has in building bones and maintaining a healthy body which both calcium and salt plays a vital role in. This target food malarkey is appearing even more farcical.
The importance of salt or calcium for that matter play no major role in the determination of target food. You want a different thread for that.
Really yet the quote I gave you is straight out of the bible, your historical document and it is not proof? Now there is an admission by you.
Not irrelevant in the bible it seems
From what you claim is your historical document:
Job said, 'The ear tests the words it hears just as the mouth distinguishes between foods.'
From the bible.
And the eyes can see color, you can make assumptions like your doing but there is no proof.
Let’s forget for a moment that you have not answered my questions AGAIN. Let’s forget for a moment how poorly you have used English AGAIN.
the taste buds aren't to direct them to possible food and choose, its to tell them if there is anything wrong with the food they are eating. You see if you were correct, varied quadrants of a species would be eating different diets based on personal choice, but thats the problem, there is never personal choice in these diets.
So target food can be bad for the consumer then, just like real world food. So what is the difference again?
Excess ANYTHING could cause the species to not eat the food.
Target food is your claim. Supplying the proof is your responsibility. I am constantly amazed I have to continually remind a so called science major of this.
I have made a strong case that it does and your denial of that confirms it. You know the only reason to refuse to answer is you are covering a lie. You know target food is complete bunk and your refusal to answer the questions asked is confirmation of that
So you claim, but I'm not looking for claims, I'm looking for proof, just as easily as target food can be seen.
ALL things found in abundance on this planet. Requirements ALL things that ALL species and groups share from plants to insects, amoeba’s to humans. ALL the evidence at hand points to the planet of origin being earth for ALL known life.
Of course its necessary, so is air, and water, and nitrogen, and carbon, and calcium and many other things.
3. Not having a target food means you are definitely not from here.
Provided you have ruled out extinctions yes.
Eating rocks is not the same as mineral licks. Notice how one is eating them, notice how the other is licking them, notice how wiki doesn't use the word rock in the article.
You do understand the meaning of the word rock. I even provided a link. Your lack of education is showing yet again
the fact that wiki is not providing a single diet that can be found claiming that species experiment with food before making a decision, I think sums it up.
Still not a single effort on your part to supply any evidence for your fantasy of target food.
Whoa, slow down Hauss, I believe the creation idea was out long before evolution was.
That is really silly on your part. You continue to do what all creationist ding dongs do. You confuse the fact of evolution with the theories that explain it.
No what we see, is we see changes, what we assume is that they are from evolution. I have allready proven in the thread prove evolution wrong, that changes to our DNA actually came from ADHD. Seeing how this was newley found, they would have been originally thought to be evolution.
Evolution happens. We see it today.
How dare you call me closed minded, I'm the one that believes that our existence here was through alien intervention, hows that for closed minded?
We see it in the fossil record. it has been recognized for at least 2000 years.Theories for the mechanism has been proposed for hundreds of years. There are people like yourself unable to see the fact of evolution because they are closed minded and unable to see the fact of evolution.
Pye is an educated author, he is easily understood as well. I have yet to read anything about him that says otherwise. This tells me that its just your opinion, I'm curious what it is exactly that your opinion is based on.
You were the one that brought that charlatan into this thread, not me. You have continued to depend that liar, not me.
Google has worked fine for me up until now.
The use a better reference. Try to do something useful
When I brought up the discussion that species don't eat rocks, I didn't specifically state that rock salt was what I was referring to, I was in fact talking about random rocks on the ground. Your just trying to pick up all rocks as being rock salt and they are not, Your being dishonest. Furthermore I never claimed that species don't eat salt, it has nothing to do with the topic.
I can spell. You can't. I use proper English and you do not. I understand that salt is a rock. I understand that deer are browsers, not grazers and you do not. I don't lie constantly like you do. I can find the definition of forbs and you can't. I am not closed minded while you are. BTW, the thing you have is spelled disability.
But not ALL rocks are beneficial to ones diet, and I was originally speaking of random rocks on the ground. It is YOU that has chosen salt as a focus, when I never made any claims about the rocks on the ground all being from salt. In addition you have also excused one important fact from the picture that I also claimed species don't eat dirt.
Licking is a form of eating. Rocks are made of minerals as was in the first sentence of the link I provided. So you are dead wrong - AGAIN!
In other words I must be correct.
A childish, uneducated, pointless comment.
Again you must be suffering from selective amnesia as I have allready stated that I was able to get google to also work for me just two days ago in regards to the word forb.
You lie again. I already provided the result from google.
How to find forbs in Google
All salt could be called rock, but not all rock is salt, your not getting the difference here.
Give me an example of salt when it is not a rock. You can't.
Animals might visit mineral licks but that doesn't mean that all rocks are salt.
That's not a fact. That is your ignorance speaking. Another nitwit claim of yours was that animals do not eat rocks. That was wrong, too.
