That's a very good point!. We don't need to eat meat to be healthy!. Whereas carnivorous animals like lions must eat meat to survive, humans eat meat simply for the pleasure of tasting meat!.

Vegetarian diets are very healthy, assuming that they have an adequate amount of calories and include fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, and grains!. The American Dietetic Association is one of the nation's leading nutrition experts!. It states that vegetarians have “lower rates of death from ischemic heart disease; … lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and prostate and colon cancer” and that vegetarians are less likely than meat-eaters to be obese!.

For Steve M!.!.!.You are DEAD wrong!.

Vegetarians are healthier than people who eat meat!. It's a fact!. Scientific studies show that vegetarians suffer much less from illnesses like cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure and other common health problems!. A major study reported in the British Medical Journal in 1994 found that, of 5000 meat-eaters and 6000 non-meat eaters, vegetarians had 40% less risk of cancer and 30% less risk of heart disease than the meat-eaters and were 20% less likely to die of any cause (Oxford Vegetarian Study)!. A US study of 50,000 vegetarians showed a very low rate of cancer (Seventh Day Adventist Study, Massachussets)!. It has been estimated that by following a low-fat vegetarian diet, the risk of food poisoning is decreased by 80%!. More evidence of the benefits of a vegetarian diet is being found each year!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Gorillas are indeed bigger and stronger than humans!.!.!. but they are not vegetarians!.

Nitpicking aside, it is obvious that people can be healthy without consuming meat, otherwise everyone that tried vegetarianism would either die or have to switch back to an omnivorous diet!. Other than slight social inconveniences, it is easy to be a vegetarian, and the choice can positively effect your health if you stick to whole foods instead of "junk"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Of course it doesn't hurt to be a vegetarian! You can certainly live a long, healthy life on a vegetarian diet (given that you aren't doing other things that put your health at risk)!.

As Albert Einstein said himself, "Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet!."Www@FoodAQ@Com

It absolutely affects our health!. We are much healthier and most of us are much happier!. On average, vegans live 5 yrs!. longer than people who eat the rotting flesh of tortured animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

!.!.!.!.people already live without eating meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Meat for me please!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

well you kinda have to respect on who you are going out with that night,
im a vegitarian, and the people i date are meat lovers,
you should be a vegitarian, it saves 5 cows when you dont eat meat!. And yes humans live healthy lives being a vegitarian, but you have to get the proteins you get in meat in other stuff!.
if you must pay attention to the person you are out on a date with, just dont pay attention to the meat, and make sure its still not bloody! you can still have a good time with a meat lover on a date, it still can be romantic!. And if you dont want to deal with the whole restaurant meat thing, go for a picnic somewhere nice :] it works!.
I have had to do that a lot lately!.
And the gorillas, dont have anything to say to that!.
Being a vegitarian is actually better for you than stuffing your face with meat all the time, but it will be hard at first to stop eating meat, it was hard for me!. Then i just got used to not eating meat!. :]
