Why do humans STILL eat meat if it's not needed?!
Now, I'm not trying to sound preachy, but really, too many people argue that vegetarians do not have enough protein, vitamins, etc!.
Actually, a vegetarian diet fully meets all these requirements, from tofu, lentils, vegetables, the whole list is here:
http://www!.veganhealth!.org/articles/prot!.!.!.
And do you go dig into a zebra or a cow, or a pig, or a fish!? No! Because you have to cook it in an unnatural way, have you ever seen a lion cooking its prey!? Never!.
And then, people argue that "plants can't defend themselves, and that vegs kill plants!. No, we don't kill them, we take their fruits, vegetables and leave it intact!
And even organic range farming, I mean, the animal still DIES, when it doesn't really have to! Meat uses up so much more water than growing plants, in fact, we could feed many more if they just stopped demanding meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Becoming a vegetarian is a personal choice!. I really don't like vegetarians who preach, even though you say you are not you actually are!. I am a vegetarian also but I never preach to my friends at all because that would just be annoying, its like when meat eaters tell you on how you should eat meat!. YOU ARE DOING THE SAME THING!! Just let others live in peace and don't worry about what they do worry about what you do!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
being a vegan/vegetarian is a personal choice!. you can't force people to do something!. if someone wants to eat meat, you can certainly teach them about the pros of a vegetarian lifestyle!. but you can't expect everyone to want to be a a vegetarian!. meat consumers generally don't try to shove meat down a vegetarians throat so don't try pushing a veggie patty down theirs!. peace!. :-)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Why do vegetarians cook their food!? Or plant or harvest!? You don't see any other animal planting crops do you!? And they don't harvest either!. They just munch off the ground or off a tree etc!. Why don't vegetarians do that!?
"need" is relative!. You may not need it!. But some people don;t have that luxury of choice that you enjoy!. Their choices are not "what can I eat meat or veggies" but "is there anything to eat!?!?" So for them, if it's veggies, fine, If it's hunted meat, so be it!.

For a lot of reasons, the most important of which being that it is a personal choice!. I respect everyone's ability to choose for themselves whether eating meat is right for them or not!. I'm not going to throw bacon at you if you don't whack me with a carrot, k!? You can't make people choose the way you want them to, and telling them they're wrong is not going to make them think your way!.
also- bit of trivia!. Some people biologically can't absorb certain vitamins and nutrients if they are in supplement form (B12 and some kinds of iron and protein come to mind)!. Even though certain nuts and vegetables can be sources of nutrients also found in meat, they are generally a poorer source!. So sometimes, it really is healthier for certain people to not be veggie!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cultural!.
People say meat is tasty, but it's funny, because my daughter who had never had meat before was given some to eat a number of time (it was mixed in with whatever the dish was) and each time she thought something tasted awful and spat it out!. I then took a look and, yup, meat in there!. So, apparently, no it's not tasty!. It's an acquired taste!. You usually have to be raised eating certain foods to be able to enjoy them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
