Are more and more people going vegetarian?!


Question: Are more and more people going vegetarian!?
Maybe I'm just hanging around hippies but it seems to me like there are more and more people who have stopped eating meat!. I know a lot of people considering it and following each other's lead!. Anyone know if the numbers are increasing!? Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
i believe yes!. people are becoming more informed and educated and many are turning away from animal products!. you have to remember our governments lie to us and support the dairy and meat industries telling us those things are essential to our health but its not true!. they cause most of the disease around today!. also, milk and eggs contain as much cholesterol and fat as animal muscle, there is no difference!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

There is the recommendation that it is the most profound thing you can do to decrease your carbon footprint, that turns some people!. But the big one is Oprah!. She is doing a show nest week on farm animals- factory farmed, "Where your food comes from"
She also recently completed a 21 day vegan diet, and while she admits to not going completely veg, she is eating less and less meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Since the nation is becoming more ''green'', they may be realizing that eating a veggie diet is better for the environment!. The amount of methane gas that cows produce is unbelievable!. They load thousands of animals in teeny tiny places!. Besides if you really think about it, from the moment life cease to exist in the animal it is dead flesh, decaying as soon as the blood stops pumping oxygen to the muscle it is rotting decomposing flesh!. Prob the more informed people become the more they put a connection between a dead beast and their belly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it seems that way!. i agree with the person said people becoming more "green" and also people are receiving more information on what actually goes on in farms!.

in response to KJ-vegetarians dont receive all their protein from fruits and vegetables!. they receive them from BEANS, LENTILS, GRAINS, and SEEDS!. they're able to receive their daily amount of protein from these things!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The problem is we need protein!.!.!.not just the protein from vegetables and nuts!. Our bodies are designed to process many kinds of foods!.!.!.animal flesh being one of them!. I despise killing animals for food too, but tell me this!.!.!.if you and your family were hungry and i mean HUNGRY would you let a dear pass and munch on a twig or a walnut!? NO (think about it!) you would not!. So my theory is to stop being so self pretentious and let's work on very humane ways to supply our need for meat and stop being cruel to animals!. Still think your right!? Have your iron level checked at a lab and then we'll talk!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm not sure, but everyone I know eats meat! Besides chickens and pigs are breed for humans to eat, and humans have been eating meat for century's and century's! Further we have the food pyramid for a reason :)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As the population increases, so does the amount of vegetarians!. By default, the amount of meat eaters increases much more quickly though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Might be, But then again, there are so many fake vegetarians out there that claim to be vegetarian, but eat chicken or fish, so I don't know!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yeah!. a ton of people are!. i turned vegetarian like two years ago, since then like 5 of my friends have as well!. i've converted them :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

It does seem like more people are going veggie!. How many of them actually stay on it for more than a few months, who knows!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i don't know!.eventhough i stopped eating meats 2weeks ago my family is still a meat eaters!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
