Us meatheads do put alot in our bodies and therefore some of it just ends up as "noise" i think a vegan or a vegetarian might even eat LESS overall that the protein rich diets of me and my Grecian-bodied friends. One friend of mine who can eat even raw meat without issue also has a fairly high drug tolerance. I strongly do believe one increases their sensitivity to any and all things when they start shying away from fast food or even tyramine rich foods. I feel spiritually "higher" if I stay away from intoxicants like caffeine and other lesser drugs and the like and therefore more sensitive to anything.
Interesting observation! i'm still far more sensitive to hallucinogens than to some bar goers and "weekend partiers" types because they use their bodies as indulgence factories just throwing more hot wings and beer and mcdonalds on the fire in an attempt to feel good. these people I find are the least sensitive to trips.
The body adapts and tries to "normalize" despite whatever you do to it and resistance is highest when you treat it like a garbage bin and a "rush" inducing mechanism. and becomes far more sensitive when you treat it like a vessel and listen to what it wants.
oddly though I want some damn meat!
edit: like this summer at a festival I discovered that my body works divinely if left to it's own mechanisms and craving and actually reacts quite poorly and in near distress when fed copious amounts of drugs that are meant to aid in my current needs, such as maybe using MDMA for energy, or codeine for pain relief, which had me nauseous and full of a bad type of energy that left me flexing parts of my body painfully and without cause. a lot of this stuff just slows me down even when used to cure one thing... band-aids that is all they are! quite often the initial problem is better left the only one, no cure is a cure all.
edit edit : Actually i've read and heard in many ways that Humans came to what we are through being the most adaptable most tolerant species on this planet we are multi-climate omnivores that are incredibly capable of changing our minds/tolerances/physical capabilities just by acting to do so, by my will and mindset alone I tolerate extreme cold better than most friends of mine am I just built for it, did I train myself mentally as well as physically? Humans are everywhere on this planet surviving on extremely different foods! There are some species out there that can't askew from anything besides ONE type of food from their pallet, if it is removed they will die. I always wonder and will study what to eat in my environment should I ever have to survive on what is around me, probably apples, deer, and roots om nom nom. I think this adaptability is part of our nature, what would be better for all of our senses of well-being and real safety would it be to be able to tolerate anything? Humans are the tasters of everything and in some old native american rhetoric to which I am a part, "can make the sounds of any animal of this earth and not just one, but all any and every sound."
