Are all the minerals that humans need to survive found in the ground?!
If calcium, iron and everything else we need is found in the ground, why do people eat meat and say it's "for heath"!? Please don't say for protein or I'll vomit!.

Generally people say meat is good/better for you because they are ignorant!. The American Dietetic Association says that a vegetarian diet is completely healthy, and can actually help prevent some health problems!. There has been a lot of propaganda by the animal agriculture industry saying that people need meat to be healthy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Let's take a look at history and locations!. Prior to the last ice age scientist have learned that the human diet in warm climates consisted primarily of plants and grain!. After the ice age man had to switch to meat in order to survive and even then it was only eaten on random occasions!. After the ice age most regions such as India, the Middle East, Greece, and Africa returned to a vegetarian diet with very few cultures consuming insects and it even became part of a spiritual emphasis!. Even as much as 150 years ago in Europe it cost more to purchase meat and even tools used to kill meat were more profitable to sell than to use for your own personal use!. Most lower class people could not afford animal products!. At the time the term meat was actually a term for food in general and was of no reference to strictly meat!. This is a big deal because the word meat is commonly mentioned in the bible and people mistaken the term for the modern day meaning!. But basically it was only consumed by nobles!. Those who migrated to Amercia where in the same boat and it wasn't until commercial farming techniques came along that they were affordable to people!. In actuallity a vegetarian diet was the norm for the larger part of history!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I eat chicken breast, fish, pork loin etc!.!.!.!.and I'm very healthy!. Anybody with actual knowledge, who isn't a "cheerleader" for their own opinions, knows that there are healthy choices in meats, as well as some very unhealthy ones!.
also, if the ground is so fertile, why is there widespread use of organic and non-organic fertilizers!?
Choosing to eat healthy cuts of meat is just a choice, as it's not a necessity because the nutrients are available elsewhere!. But it IS a choice and that choice is to made by the person themselves, not someone else for them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

all minerals humans need can be found in the ground and in plant matter!. People that do eat meat generally prefer meat because of flavor and texture!. Amino acids, and fatty acids are specific to species depending on amounts produced, such as the oils found in fish, and saturated fat found in beef and pork!. Humans, like most omnivores do have trouble producing some amino acids, however substitutes can be found to come close to dietary equivalence!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
