Vegetarians literally cant eat meat?!


Question: Vegetarians literally cant eat meat!?
I heard that once you are veggie for long enough, you can't eat meat!. I am veggie, and I am not planning on going back, but is it true!? apparently you cant digest it or somethingWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
There is no special enzyme needed to digest meat, all you need is the enzymes and acid your stomach naturally produces to digest all other food you eat!. Therefore, you will never lose the ability to digest meat!.

However, vegetarians typically don't make as much stomach acid, nor do they make as many enzymes to digest fat and protein!. Meat-heavy meal requires more stomach acid than a vegetarian one; in fact, animals that eat mostly meat-based diets have ten times the stomach acid of animals that eat mostly plant-based diets!. You might get heartburn, indigestion and all the other stuff Pepto Bismol commercials talk about!.

Remember, these changes are not permanent, your stomach will adjust accordingly to whatever diet you diet, or at least try to as best as it can!.

In fact, there are human societies in places like the Arctic that sometimes go for months at a time eating almost an entirely meat-based diet since vegetation is sparse and not always available!. While they are biologically identical to other people on this planet their stomach acid has adjusted!. Your body is a well-designed machine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm a vegetarian, and that's what I heard too, and I totally believed it!. But then at a party, when I was told the sandwiches were cheese and they were really meat, I ate like 2 before I asked the person that told me if they were sure that it was cheese!. It was really meat, but it didn't hurt my stomach at all, so I guess it's just some people!. :-)Www@FoodAQ@Com

The human body can digest meat!. Not eating meat for a while doesn't turn it into a non-human body!. It is simply a myth and a tool used to manipulate the naive!.

I must admit though I'm a little worried about the person who can't tell meat from cheese!.!.!.LOL

I'm neither a vegetarian, doctor or dietitian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

that's not true!. but it's once your body isn't used to something you get sick!. like when you haven't had meat for a long period of time!. the next time you eat meat you will get sick after not eating meat for a long period of time!. but once you established yourself back to eating meat then you'll stop getting sick!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You'll get sick if you switch back since you have to change back and it takes time to tolerate the stuff!. Too much/Too little=no good!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's funny, because I'm a vegetarian (simply because I don't enjoy the taste of meat), but had some chicken a few nights ago for supper!. I was in pain for two days later, since my stomach probably wasn't used to it!.
I agree entirely with what Maggie said!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I know for a fact that vegetarians can go back to eating meat!. My uncle did this!. He gave up meat for 5 years then started eating meat again!. I would think it must of taken time for his body to adjust to eating meat again!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

humans are carnivores naturally
you can develop yourself to stop eating meat, but you can always go back to eating it!. its not something you can lose the ability to do
=DWww@FoodAQ@Com

You are a carnivore!. You body will always have enzymes to digest meat, even if you dont' use them regularly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
