Why do people just not care about their health?!
Now, I of see where meat eaters come from. All these vegetarians and vegans come in here and go vegan or whatever, and say "I don't care about health" an awful lot. This is what makes meat eaters think ALL vegetarians and vegans are unhealthy and deprived of nutrients. It's because you're making yourselves seem that way.
You meat eaters too though. You'll come in here and tell people "Eat something good for you, like a Big Mac". A Big Mac defiantly isn't the best way to convince vegans to eat healthier, which means you're you're contradicting yourselves. Eating McDonald's Big Mac's aren't healthy either, so practice what you preach.
It just seems like a lot of people don't care about their health, whether they're vegans or meat eaters. Do you get where I'm coming from?

Because they're healthy enough NOW and don't think it'll affect them longterm. Nobody does.
actually I don't think getting good nutrients is hard at all. I don't really go for processed food, and I eat whole stuff- fruit, veg, dried foods, asian foods like soybeans, tofu and nori, seaweed, mushrooms and stuff, so it's not really an issue, cos all the food I eat like that has a lot of raw, fresh nutrients.
People don't think things will affect them, because they are just thinking of today, and today those people are fine.
Putting on weight and getting cholesterol in your veins takes years of bad eating habits.
I guess most people think of their own pleasures first rather than overall wellbeing. A greasy fatty cheeseburger doesn't even fill you up, it's like a small pocket of grease and cheese and MSG UMAMI in your mouth, immediately satisfying. And the food with HFCS in it, is notoriously addictive. You slump very soon after eating it, then you want more.
People are weak these days. It's too easy to open a packet of poptarts.
I care about my health quite a bit, and I feel the same as you. I feel that if you don't contribute something useful to the questioner, then maybe you should reconsider answering.
But I just sarcastically claimed fish to be leaves (since it's CLEARLY not meat) in another post, so don't mind me.
I can answer health questions though. I've done a lot of research, and I'm currently working for a registered dietitian. Any health questions?
you shouldnt really say something like,
"you meat eaters"
i am a meat eater but i would NEVER tell you something like that!
ESPECIALLY if youre a vegetarian/vegan!
to answer your question,
b/c ppl rather eat what they want b/c we dont know how long we're going to be on this earth.
i rather eat what i want, enjoy myself, enjoy life, than eat healthy for the rest of my life b/c i might just die tomorrow.
Im vegetarian too. And feel so good so do i really need to eat meat ? NO. Why because i am more active then i ever was. And i believe that no one needs to eat meat in order to be fit and healthy. And as for the big macs well they can keep there macs!! i would Rather eat an APPLE thanks!.
I care to much about what i eat!! We are what we eat right ?
yeah i feel you, and taking care of yourself feels real good you know, excercising, and eating right. it is hard work but it definitely pays off.
Someone who forms their opinions of an entire group of people based on what they see a few vegetarians say on YA isn't someone whose opinion I give a damn about.

I care about my health. And I agree a Big Mac in NOT healthy. But I do think lean fresh meat eaten in moderation IS healthy.
Well I subsist off of solar panels hooked up to my heart and a saline solution with vitamins pumped into me.
Being a combine.
they probably gave up on their health? i dont know.. but for some people it's hard to give up on junk food
I never recommended anyone eat a Big Mac. But people are just too lazy to care about their health, which is truly a shame. Especially if Hussein Obama gets what he wants in the end and has everyone paying for other people's irresponsible health and lifestyle choices.
Having said that, it's worth giving these articles a look, even though most vegetarians and vegans on here don't want anyone to see them:

You are wrong. People do care about their health. Not just in the same pedantic "what am I allowed to eat" manner that you seem to indulge in. and not everyone has the time listing everything they eat to get that perfect balance every single day. Not every one has the luxury of getting the same exact nutrition guide xxxx number of calories per day. Most people do what they can. A Big Mac may not be the perfect food for every one to eat everyday. But it's calorie and nutrition profile is still perfectly fine for for anyone to eat for one meal if should they so choose. Many people who eat what you would consider "crappy food" nevertheless have enough physical activity or exercise enough to be in relatively good physical health. For example you might be surprised what football players eat, but I dare you beat one in an endurance/ physical challenge.
Thing to remember is that people are different. What is important to you may not be as important to them. That does not make right or wrong, it just means they are different. As you said it takes a lot of work. Maybe some people don't have the time to put up the "lot of wok" that you are talking about because they are just too busy doing something else more important to them.
Some do some don't. you are ranting.
idk i honestly dont care that much about my health. that actually why im a vegan because to me i feel like im ******* over the animals. i care more about animals than i do about my own health and i dont even enjoy eating that much anyway especially meat. im still surprisingly healthy though except i dont have very much muscle which i dont care about so yeah. i could eat more tofu but like i said, i dont really care. but i get alot of compliments from girls on my body shape and people always tell me about how skinny i am and how they wish they were that skinny. i think its kinda funny
i dont care because i dont really see why health matters as long as you feel energized and happy
