Why Can't Everyone Stop Eating Meat?!


Question: Why Can't Everyone Stop Eating Meat!?
I'm not being a crazy vegetarian (or maybe I am), but I mean so much research shows that meat protein is really bad for you and is among the leading causes of heart disease and cancer!. So, why does everyone still eat it!. There is more than enough opportunity to get educated on the downfalls of eating meat and organizations such as Peta do a good job of spreading the word (despite not being favored by the general public whom they are trying to educate), but nobody seems to care!.

Just give me your thoughts on it!.

Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because most humans are self-absorbed, they only care for them selves!. Has anyone heard the phrase that humans want to be cared for but don't want the problem of caring for others!? Most humans dont give a damn that animals get hung upside down, have their flesh ripped from their body, their stomachs cut open, fried & cooked WHILE THEY ARE STILL ALIVE!. (NOT A DRAMATIZATION) They just don't care!. That IS why society and the WORLD is ****** up!. I would rather die than kill an animal!. Just cause they are vulnerable doesn't mean we're supposed to take advantage of them!. And NO god didn't put animals on this earth so we can eat them, cause if so, why don't you eat your neighbor!? or your mom!? She's an animal too!. And Killing is a sin, the defenition os killing is: means to cause the death of a living organism!. That implies to cows, chikens, fish, AND humans!. It'll be a long time till the world is enlightened from their dark times!.!.!.

Thank God for Vegetarians & Vegans!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As someone who actually HAS heart disease (congenital, so you can't blame it on the meat I eat), I can tell you that my cardiologist and dietician both recommend that I do NOT adopt a vegetarian or vegan diet!.

The 1st person who answered, about the quantity of meat consumed, is correct!.

EDIT: I'm a woman, not a dude!. And vegetarians don't eat fish because it's meat!.

And the person who said that your research is suspect is also correct!. Certain kinds of fish actually REDUCE the risk of heart disease!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't eat meat, but I don't agree that protein is bad for you!. also, someone else wrote that being a vegetarian causes global warming, when the truth is, being a vegetarian causes you to have a smaller ecological footprint!. I understand why people eat meat and I don't find it disgusting when people do!. Everyone leads there own life!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would really like to read this research that says eating protein is bad for you!. Especially considering that every vegan store I have been in sells protein substitutes!. Who funds this research!? Peta!? Name one other national vegan/vegetarian group that isn't run by a hypocrite!.

I thought the leading cause of heart disease and cancer was smoking, unless they put meat in cigarettes, I really doubt your research!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

One day meat is bad the next it is good for you, one day eggs are bad for you the next they are good!.!.!.see the pattern!

All foods are different in different amounts, and it depends on a person's lifestyle as well!. I can find plenty of information on the negatives of a vegan or vegetarian diet and what health concerns they raise! To each their ownWww@FoodAQ@Com

We as humans are omnivores!. We are meant to eat both meat and vegetables!. The problem with our society is that we eat TO MUCH meat!. We need to better balance our meat intake and vegetable intake!. But people probably will always eat meat because it's in our nature!. Education should be more focused on balance, not eliminating meat consumption completely!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sorry, but I just love the taste!. I will never give up my thick juicy steaks, my sassy spare ribs or my BBQ chicken!.

Edit: Eventually, vegetarians always resort to insults!. I knew it would come if I waited!. My brain cells can beat out yours any day, missy!. If you want to help the world, go feed starving people in Darfur, or get on your soapbox about female circumcision!. I think PEOPLE are more important than animals!.!.!.don't YOU!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

because plants take in carbon dioxide a major contributor to pollution and you f\/ckheads eat the solution while people like me who eat meat (and sometimes salad) are eating the problem!. cows generate the most pollution!. so you vegetarians are the reason for global warming!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

To The Poster---

Don't take the responses personally!. People will have their own opinions and so can you!. I'm a vegetarian too and I agree with most of the things you are saying, but not everyone will!. I do understand what you are saying and where other people are coming from though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Why cant vegans leave meat eaters alone I mean im feel sorry for all the little plants you rip out of the earth but im not going to get on the high horse and criticize someone who eats veggies unless they think they have some god given right to tell people what they can and cant eat!Www@FoodAQ@Com

For one thing, it tastes good to lots of people!. For another, alot of people would lose their jobs if people just stopped eating meat all of a sudden!. Besides, the Bible says it's not what goes into your mouth that matters, it's what comes out(speech and so on)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Most people don't give up it because they like the way it tastes!. I'm sure SOME of them know about the health risks!.

I guess to some of them eating meat is like smoking!. It's probably addictive or something!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i know the health risk and i am trying to cut back and eat mostly veggie but i love meat especially red meat which i know is bad for you but it taste so good!. I love my beef short ribsWww@FoodAQ@Com

I quote "For one thing, it tastes good to lots of people!. For another, alot of people would lose their jobs if people just stopped eating meat all of a sudden!. Besides, the Bible says it's not what goes into your mouth that matters, it's what comes out(speech and so on)!."

im vegetarian myself but i have nothing against meat eaters!. dont push your beliefs on me -- vegans are worst on this , like bible thumpers!.!.!. sad to say that a good cause gets screwed up by these overzealous idiots!.!.!.


oh and PETA, please STFU!. They are the worst of the zealots out there!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because some of us don't want to!.

There is no research showing meat "protein" is unhealthy!. Maybe you mean the fats and cholesterol!?!? Protein is protein!. If meat protein is unhealthy then so is soy protein and any other protein!.

Certain meats are healthier than others and it's unfair to lump them all together and generalize!. That would be like lumping all of the vegetarians and vegans together and judging them as a group instead of as individuals!. Unfair!.

PETA is disliked by most of the knowledgeable folks here!.

Vegetarians do not eat fish as vegetarians do not eat animal flesh!. You have several inaccuracies in your post!.

EDIT: Like I said, proteins are not mentioned in your new link!. The new research is clearly inconclusive and resorting to insults shows you have exhausted your argument!.
