There is absolutely nothing wrong with eating meat. Humans are developed to eat meat. Like anything else, moderation is key.

I don't know why vegetarians think that eating meat is this tabboo, horrible thing. To deny yourself of eating meat and taking supplements for protein and iron is denying yourself of being wholly human. We are omnivores. It is ok to eat animals ppl. It's a neat little thing you've maybe heard of. It's called the food chain.

i still dont get how a person capable of using a computer and with at least part of a working brain cant grasp the connection between consuming feces in meat and having health problems from that.
do you eat your own poop?
why eat another animals and expect good results?

well, i for one dont enjoy murdering livestock. i like animals, why woudl i want to kill them, then eat them?
and its not taboo, its jsut immoral and disgusting.
and btw, i dont take supplements for protien and iron, and im alive, as far as i can tell.
why is it everytime this conversation occurs, vegetarians have lists of hundreds of valid reasons not to eat meat, and all the fleshmongers can some up with is "protien"? you do realise almost everything you eat, including plants, has protien right? you act like meat is the only source of this life giving super supplem=ent, when in fact, you dont need nearly as much as most say, and it occurs in almost all foods .
jsut wierd.

Lol, this is about as hopeless as a Jew arguing with Hitler. Veganites, UNITE, and lets rid the planet of ALL the terrorists!

I'm not gonna get into the whole vegan/meat discussion here, but I felt like I should contribute a bit here.

I myself love meat, but was surprised to learn how little meat is needed for an average person - 90 grammes a day

Meat is pretty expensive (i try to stay away from factory farmed stuff, since i am a treehugger by heart), and it has a pretty big carbon footprint.

I think the average person eats at least 4 times as much meat as required, and I'm trying to cut back myself, and eat more green (organic) but bacon is just soooooo good . I don't think going all vegetarian is the answer, but reducing the meat intake - Great for the body, and great for the planet.

Also, meat from animals who have been treated with respect, and fed well tends to taste way better, though is mostly more pricey

I would like to see you "No-meaters" trying to survive in nature, like our ancestors, without eating meat.

I'll give you three weeks, then it's over.

So, you tried to say that it is impossible for a human to live past 3 weeks of no meat diet?

What about those humans that have lived their entire life that way? I've know those that ate meat previously, gave it up entirely, and have been no-meat dieters for more than 10 years.

Your claim is unfounded.

Those who eat meat for protein lack the essential human DNA to convert precursorial food elements into their own protein. In other words, vegans/vegetarian do not require animal meat in order to produce HUMAN protein in the HUMAN body.

Why do people get sick when they eat animal meat... because they replaced their HUMAN protein withe ANIMAL protein. Devolution.

There is nothing wrong when we eat humans that eat animals because those humans are what they eat.

This is neat little thing you may of heard of called: The Nature of The Thirst!

I tasted the rainbow, and I frak'n like it!

Okay, I propose a compromise here.

If all you meat eaters promise to keep your disturbing habit restrained to within your own species and kind, I will leave you all alone. Those that love flesh for dinner, forum a meat club and practice this carnage among yourselves and leave the rest of the life forms on Earth the hell alone.

This will solve a lot of problems too. The animal kingdom will no longer have to fear man, the influenza viruses will stop, and you can solve all these social problems by eating all your sickly ones, the old ones sitting around waiting to die anyhow, the unemployed, the homeless, eat your criminals, your welfare breeders, your retards and rejects, your aborted fetuses, eat the blood sucking parasites among yourselves. Hey, there are yummy yummy stem cells in them humans .. Eat that and you might live forever. Do this, and there will be peace between the animal kingdom and humanity and us Veganites. Keep dragging other unwilling participants into this disgusting dietary practice of your and you can expect something far worse than swine flu one day.

So how about it, huh, peace? Tell ya what, agree to this, and I'll help you round up a roast for dinner tonight and show you how it's done (lol).

i hate to break it to you, but when you disembowel and animal, no matter how careful you are, teh whole digestive tract is bound to let loose somewhere.

Please stop. You're embarrasing yourself. If you've never hunted and cleaned your own wild game, and I'm assuming you haven't based on the ignorant comment above, I can tell you now that the digestive tract is avoided at all costs. It spoils the meat.

Yes, contamination can be a problem with ANY food products, including fruits and vegetables. Parasites, worms, insecticides and pesticides, fertilizers......should I keep going?

Why do you assume that meat eaters get sick? It has to be based on anecdotes and observations because every study I've seen evaluating the efficacy of a high-fat/high-protein(meat), low-carb diet has shown improvements in all tested markers.

I've mentioned this so many times before:

If eating meat is making us sick, and your evidence is from observations, how do you explain the observations of over 100 years from Doctors in Africa attributing all the diseases of civilization to increased carbohydrate consumption. How do you explain pre-westernized eskimos experiencing optimal health with almost no incidences of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and obesity while consuming an all meat diet. It was only when these eskimos began to eat a westerinized diet(increased carbohydrate consumption) that they experienced the aforementioned diseases. How do you explain the observations of the Traditional Masaai and their diet?

How do you explain the Pima, a group of American Indians who consumed meat in abundance before becoming "westernized." They were healthy and thin, until they became so poor they had to depend on government rations to survive. Living on little food, they now develop obesity and diabetes at alarming rates. They eat a diet that consists mainly of carbohydrates.

How do you explain where food resources come from when meat eaters only eat meat? Do you think they just somehow manage to find colonies of meaty animals to eat that just appear out of thin air? Oh, they eat other meat eaters... who eat other meat eaters... and then where does that end?

Like, meat eaters eventually eat meat of an animal that is not a meat eater. Do they eat animals that is vegatarian/vegan/herbivore?

Aha!

Your doctor research just proved the anecdotal evidence you wanted, yet it just wasn't so direct and obvious to you through your obsession with meat.

Oh, and the Indians, the one that makes the kill is the one that traditionally gets to eat the heart. It's the blood, not the meat.

sure why not, its kind of amusing.

Meat is so unhealthy. I'd much rather live on lettuce like a rabbit and have pale skin and dizzy spells.

Where is his peer reviewed work?

He claims colon cancer is caused by meat consumption, yet I've provided meta-analyses suggesting otherwise.

So should i beileve the blind statistical studies or the guy who has operated on over 300,000 colons... By the way could you link to this meta-analyses again

Originally posted by DevolutionEvolvdHe also thinks fruits should be restricted....isn't that opposite of your ideology?

Where does he say that?? He also thinks whole grains are good and its suitable to eat fish. I highly disagree with both of these.

Ok went back and re-read the article, I see where you could get the idea that he thinks fruit should be restricted. This is wrong tho, the only reason he recommends only 10-15% fruit is because hes eating 50% grains(which is absolutely retarded).

Fruit should never be restricted and I've never seen any health professional ever say otherwise, except for a couple retarded vegans who think fruit=hybridized sugar

Pale skin and dizziness would be a symptom of under eating, Low fat high fruit vegans are the most vibrant people you will ever meet. You wanna see people with pale skin, acne, big fatasses and body odor you can smell 5 feet away go check out a Mcdonalds drive thru
