Yea, I've been vegetarian for my entire life (14 years), and I've just turned vegan about 4 months ago. I don't know why people think we need meat to survive. I lived this far without eating meat so I'm pretty sure we are healthy enough to survive. And for some reason, some omnivores consider protein to be the most important nutrients in everyone's life. When in reality, it's not. I read this awesome book called "Skinny B****s" and it says that omnivores consume 4x the amount of protein needed to be healthy, while vegetarians consume 2x! LOL that was really shocking to me.
-Oh yea, there is this other vegetarian in my gym class. Every day our gym class go to the park across the street and we either walk or run two miles. We always run the entire thing and we're always first in our class (everyone else is either out of breath or just don't care). I think it's pretty cool that the only two vegan/vegetarian in the class are the healthiest. Geee I think that speaks for itself.
Good question.. simply.. we dont!!!
OMg im a vegetarian for 2 years and im real healthy
those people are crazy
and jelous
Well, the person above just contradicted everything. I don't believe we need meat to survive, but when a veg says he or she is taking supplements, then it makes me think differently because if you go by nature and even back then, people couldn't take supplements to replace those needs. But I do realize that fruits and veggies and what not have iron in them as well. However, it's the whole supplement thing that bothers me.
I am not a vegan, but I don't believe they need to have meat. I think people say that because they think you need more iron and protein and stuff, but a lot of other foods provide that.......... actually, i'm not really sure why people say vegetarians need meat.
Eating veggies for the rest of your life could make your life extend . If you eat all the healthy veggies and fruits, maybe you will live 150 years. If you eat meat, even your healthy, your life is short. There are many spaces here in earth. it has enough space for all of us!
By the way, humans are not the owner of earth, we are just one of the millions of species sharing life here on earth. let us learn to love and care for animals!
We are NOT actually designed to eat as much meat as people eat now. I'm Vegie, and perfectly healthy!
People that say we need meat are usually meat eaters, not sure why they think we need it, Ive survived 11 years without it!
We do need food to survive and be healthy, whether its bananas, apples etc.
We need certain foods to get our vitamins, minerals and protein from, meat is not one of them!
Do we need food that is full of antibiotics and hormones????
And due to bad housekeeping at many slaughter houses, the meat is most probably contaminated with animal excrement!
Does anyone need that!!!
Adam where did i say in my answer that you are wrong if you eat meat????
I am obviously more educated than you as i am able to read my answer!!
Why have loads of mineral tablets and multivitamins when you can get it naturally from food!
why should i respect your choice to eat meat when you obviously do not respect any-ones choice to be a vegetarian/vegan!
Are you sure you dont eat meat with antibiotics/hormones in it, they can do funny things to the brain?
Most people who have had any biological or scientific training know that humans do not need meat for nutrition, even if they themselves choose to eat meat. There isn't a single academic or credible scientist who will argue that people are unhealthy without meat, because the evidence doesn't support it.
The idea that animals will take over the world if we don't eat them is ludicrous and somewhat ignorant. Animals are bred in farms on purpose, they are not mating wildly and farmers just pick up what is produced. If they didn't allow them to mate there'd be no more animals.
It is also not necessary to take supplements. Every required nutrient is available in a balanced vegan diet. So there.
because people don't like how we choose to live since it's different
i know. my classmates tell me i need protein because i am so skinny. i get the right amount of protein everyday including all the other vitamins and minerals. i am so skinny because i have a high metabolism.
People say we need meat because it is full of protein and iron... but it is available in a wide range of food. you just need to get that balance right :)
1) They have bought the lies sold to them by the meat, dairy, and egg industries that tell them they need meat, dairy, and eggs to be healthy. You need not watch too much TV to see an ad for a meat, dairy, or egg product. I grew up in the era of "Beef: It's what's for dinner," "The incredible edible egg," and the freaking milk mustache. I STILL see ads for how good a certain brand of eggs is.
2) They want to justify their consumption of meat and will come up with all sorts of cockamamie garbage to justify eating it. This is why they keep asking idiotic questions about the plants feeling pain or how many animals die when grain is harvested--70 percent of which goes to feed animals who will be turned into someone's dinner.
Do you just like seeing people argue with each other?
I understand that some people are vegetarion but the population of animals would be outrageous if some people didnt eat meat.
You're taking supplements aren't u.. They say that is where 80% of you riron comes from and your protein. You're right don't need it to survive, heck now days there is enough junk on the market to simulate other things you could just live off them and not eat anything and be healthy. You can live but sorry i do enjoy a hamburger or steak now and then.
t
yes we dont need meat...we also dont need apples, bananas and half the other fruit in the world...why eat it then...we dont need tofu or veggie burgers but i bet you eat some of these...so why make a big deal about those who choose to eat meat when you clearly eat things you dont need.
i eat meat and im perfectly healthy...i choose to eat meat because i like a variety of foods not just fruit and veg...as they say variety is the spice of life
EDIT fluffy lol classic veggie mistake
Do we need food that is full of antibiotics and hormones????
And due to bad housekeeping at many slaughter houses, the meat is most probably contaminated with animal excrement!
not all meat is full of antibiotics and hormones...not all meat is contaminated......meat gives us protein...yes other things can give us protein but multivitamin and mineral tablets give us everythin fruits and veg give us so why eat them
its just pure ignorance on your behalf to assume that if we eat meat we are wrong....go get an education
I choose an omnivorous diet...why cant you all respect my choice..i choose to eat meat..you dont....deal with it
