Why dose people eat meat when thay now it's bad for them?
like aggs beef cheeken
Answers:
I don't know. Seems kind of silly that anyone would do something they know is bad for them huh? Oh, sorry, my steak and eggs with a double side of bacon and deep fried hash browns are ready, so I need to put out my cigar and finish my beer real quick so I can go eat breakfast.
Animals taste good
you are misinformed
Because it tastes so damn good!
Aggs and cheeken are my fav. ; )
Why does you ask?
Perhaps it improves our ability to state a question properly.
It's not all bad for you. We are genetically designed as carnivores. God made us that way.
Why do people have misspelled questions when there is a spell checker right above where you type? Are you proud of your stupidity?
Why do people drink? Why do people smoke? Why do people do drugs?
Also, just to point out, not all meat is bad. You just have to limit your portions and choose your meat wisely. Chicken is bad...when did that happen? If you mean fried chicken, well yeah, that's bad, but that's not the chicken's fault...it's the oil.
Force of habit.
I guess because it's good now, but will kill us at the end.
For the same reason we drink, smoke and swear. Because we can. Thank god for freedom! Why do people misuse the English language. . .
Let's put it this way: if you were on a desert island and had to stay alive by : 1. eating eggs, chicken and meat
2. smoking cigarettes
3. doing drugs and booze
which would keep you alive?
When did meat become bad for you? It is how how you cook it and how much of it you eat that matters. If you look hard enough, you will find that everything is bad for you if you have too much or too little of it
Probably for the same reason the they refuse to learn how to spell and use proper grammar.
Hmmmm...a very interesting question!
I suppose one could ask: why can't people who post questions on this board SPELL?????
Beetuz it allz tazed so guud.Wedder it beez guud orz nots for yuz aints the problemz.Flavuz the key.
Who are you to say it's bad for me? People's choices of what to eat and avoid are their own business. What do you say to those people who cannot handle high fiber foods but who need quality protein? Yep: eat meat.
I think until the government get a backbone, the horrors of eating meat (including fish) will remain known to mostly only vegetarians and vegans (who usually go veggie for animal rights reasons).
Photos of people having black, rotting lumps of flesh removed from their colon to save them from cancer was one of the highlights for me.
Also, anyone with allergies should go vegan. Saved me from an anti-histamine addiction, knocked my allergies down to about 5% of what they once were. I have more energy at 1am than most people do at their peak during the day.
Reasons not to eat meat and dairy
CJD (BSE etc)
Salmonella
Thousands of blood and pus cells in milk
Growth hormones
Stomach cancer
Bowel cancer
Heart disease
Various cancers
Gallstones
Alzheimers
Obesity
Cholesterol Problems
Allergies (NEVER feed cow's milk in place of breast milk to babies. This is like child abuse, seriously. Babies fed cow's milk often end up with allergies, eczema, asthma etc)
Higher incident rate of caesarian births
Diabetes
Hypertension
Pick up a copy of The China Project. The biggest study on this subject and absolutely shocking.
Eat the typical meat and dairy diet, expect to die early.
Some people come out with crap like "My grandad ate black pudding every day of his life and lived till he was 90 ". This is rubbish. Did this person really eat black pudding every day? Ah, no. Old people have healthier diets than today's folk. Meat is a small part of a meal, and the older generation eat, and continue to eat a lot more veg than today's generation.
It's scary to think I will probably outlive my future grandchildren's friends.
Why do people in Michigan drive 65 MPH on ice in white out conditions?
Why do people in Los Angeles burn parts of the city every 25 years in fits of rage?
Why do I smoke cigars and swill vodka every weekend?
Why do Scandinavian types eat rotten fish and call it a delicacy?
Why does my ex-husband's grandma's house smell funny?
Why do most Americans only speak one language?
Why do some fat people eat chocolate cake and drink diet coke? Or eat fast food?
Are people any smarter where you live? I doubt it, by the way. People are, well, people.
Life is full of mysteries, no?

Actually its been shown that a 100% vegetarian diet is bad for you. If you read about it its a major problem for those who practice it. People spurned butter for example and ate margarine instead. Turns out that margarine causes cancer and reduces good cholesterol. There is no substitute for eating what the body is designed for....... good natural foods, including meat. But in moderation of course and I do agree people need to eat more veggies and fish. So many people jump on the vegetarian bandwagon without the benefit of educating themselves. Studies have shown that the best diet we are designed for is nuts, fruit and just some meat. Think monkeys on the savanah.
I don't think there is anything wrong with Organic Meats and Dairy in moderation. I do agree that the majority of food in our diet should be vegetable/plant-based.
"Actually its been shown that a 100% vegetarian diet is bad for you. If you read about it its a major problem for those who practice it. People spurned butter for example and ate margarine instead."
Sorry, you're TALKING RUBBISH. The China Study was the biggest study on meat and dairy's effect on the human body EVER. The China Study is the only reliable study on this sort of thing. Even the BMA and other health associations come to a similar conclusion with their smaller scale studies.
Most margarine contains hydrogenated fat, which is why it is bad for you. Has nothing to do with vegetarianism, veganism or anything else.
However, the comment about the monkey-style diet is more on the mark. If you believe in evolution, it's important to understand we have descended from a herbivore, have herbivore intestines, herbivore sweat patterns and herbivore teeth (our canines are not 'true' canines). We have zero hunting instinct (even our ancestors had to use tools- ever seen a cheetah create a spear to help him catch a gazelle?).
We're not even a true omnivore. We're vegetarian. Face it. And stop misquoting and saying vegetarianism is bad for you, because that is, absolute b*llocks.
People are creatures of habit. That's why. Meat tastes good. The fat in meat tastes even better to most people. Alot of people don't care about their health to that point. They remain in denial and or make up excuses as to why meat is good for them or why there is no proof that meat is bad for them.
I turned vegetarian 9 months ago for my health, the craving has totally left me - and I was a CARNIVORE trust me! I lost 26 pounds. I have never felt more energy!
Truly Truly this has something to do with my change in diet.
they are tasty and fun to kill
you are an idiot
they eat it because they have selective hearing and somtimes thick heads.
but more serious: some may have been raised on meat. i was but i have been a happy vegetarian for 2 months and i plan to stay that way.
thanks for bringing this subject up.
There are many benefits to a diet containing meat. Many vegetarians claim that meat is unhealthy. This is a blatant fallacy.
It is well established that eating meat improves the quality of nutrition, strengthens the immune system, promotes normal growth and development, is beneficial for day-to-day health, energy and well-being, and helps ensure optimal learning and academic performance.
A long term study found that children who eat more meat are less likely to have deficiencies than those who eat little or no meat. Kids who don’t eat meat ― and especially if they restrict other foods, as many girls are doing ― are more likely to feel tired, apathetic, unable to concentrate, are sick more often, more frequently depressed, and are the most likely to be malnourished and have stunted growth. Meat and other animal-source foods are the building blocks of healthy growth that have made America’s and Europe's youngsters the tallest, strongest and healthiest in the world.
Meat is an important source of quality nutrients, heme iron, protein, zinc and B-complex vitamins. It provides high-quality protein important for kids’ healthy growth and development.
The iron in meat (heme iron) is of high quality and well absorbed by the body, unlike nonheme iron from plants which is not well absorbed. More than 90 percent of iron consumed may be wasted when taken without some heme iron from animal sources. Substances found to inhibit nonheme iron absorption include phytates in cereals, nuts and legumes, and polyphenolics in vegetables. Symptoms of iron deficiency include fatigue, headache, irritability and decreased work performance. For young children, it can lead to impairment in general intelligence, language, motor performance and school readiness. Girls especially need iron after puberty due to blood losses, or if pregnant. Yet studies show 75 percent of teenage girls get less iron than recommended.
Meat, poultry and eggs are also good sources of absorbable zinc, a trace mineral vital for strengthening the immune system and normal growth. Deficiencies link to decreased attention, poorer problem solving and short-term memory, weakened immune system, and the inability to fight infection. While nuts and legumes contain zinc, plant fibre contains phytates that bind it into a nonabsorbable compound.
Found almost exclusively in animal products, Vitamin B12 is necessary for forming new cells. A deficiency can cause anaemia and permanent nerve damage and paralysis. The Vitimin B12 in plants isn't even bioavailable, meaning our body can't use it.
Why not buy food supplements to replace missing vitamins and minerals? Some people believe they can fill those gaps with pills, but they may be fooling themselves. Research consistently shows that real foods in a balanced diet are far superior to trying to make up deficiencies with supplements.
Lets not forget either that protein, while it is found in plants, is better quality in animal products.
Some people claim that meat is unhealthy because it contains saturated fat. So does margarine and olive oil, and they're vegan suitable (in fact the hydrogenated fats in Marge can be very bad, but that's another story). Besides, any excess calories in your diet, any excess sugar, starch or carbohydrates are stored in your body for later use. This is done by turning them into saturated fats.
Cholesterol too. Your body on average creates four to five times more cholesterol than the average person consumes, and compensates by creating more when less is consumed. Cholesterol isn't evil, it is essential; it makes up the waterproof linings of all our cells and without it we would die. Too much can be bad, but as with saturated fats there are more healthy ways of disposing of it, like regular exercise. Anyway, it isn't so much how much cholesterol you eat, but how well yur body handles it. A person who eats loads of dietary cholesterol and leads an unhealthy lifestyle can still have low cholesterol, and vice versa. Most people's bodies are able to take a large amount of cholesterol without getting atherosclerosis. For this reason that eating meat gives you heart disease is very misleading, and for the most part untrue. Of course, if you do have a problem eating loads isn't a good idea, but for most people there is nothing at all to worry about.
Yes, there are things in meat that there is some evidence can cause cancer in some people, but there are as many in plants too. Soy especially has some very potent carcinogens. Processing of soy protein results in the formation of toxic lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenic nitrosamines.
Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have the potential to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in adult women. Also they are potent antithyroid agents that cause hypothyroidism and may cause thyroid cancer. In infants, consumption of soy formula has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease.
Soy is bad for numerous other reasons, but that isn't the point, I'm just using it as a quick example relating to cancer not being exclusive to some animal products. The evidence that claims meat does cause cancer is patchy anyway.
No sensible vegans can ever contest that we were deigned to eat meat. Even the most ardent vegan scientists agree that human's are designed to eat meat, that is not in question.
That we do not have claws, talons, or incisors to hunt proves nothing. When early hominids ate meat they scavenged it, as vultures do, using their fingers to get the sinews and meat other animals couldn't. It was only after that that they began to hunt the meat themselves, and only much later they began to cook it. It is interesting that even now if someone was brought up eating raw meat he would have no problem with it.
The last few million years of human evolution have revolved completely around tools. We used advanced stone tools long before we began to hunt our own meat, and as such there was no need for evolution to bestow us with large claws or teeth to kill prey.
Simple research into human biology reveals how we are meant to eat meat. For one thing, our body produces hydrochloric acid and meat splitting enzymes that herbivores don't produce and are solely used for the digestion of meat. There are adaptations to our teeth (not incisors, rather the size of the jaw), stomach and intestines which have made a human being very adept at meat digestion. There is nothing wrong with the way our body digests meat, and we are so adept at eating it no scientists are of any doubt we've evolved to eat it.
In contrast, there are many reasons we aren't naturally herbivores. We cannot naturally get all the nutrients we need without animal products naturally. Vitamin B12 cannot be got, even now, without animal products or supplements, and a lack of it can cause anaemia and impending death. 60% of vegans even now have some level of B12 deficiency, as opposed to no meat eaters, which says something about how well adapted we are to a vegan diet.
All other nutriets can be got natually. That owes to that vegtables can now be sold all year round, even out of season, and can be flown into the country from all over the world. In bygone times people could only eat the relatively small range of plants that grew in their ecosytem, and only when they were in season. Thus many more nutrients would have been unavailable and still more unavaillable for most of he year. Until very recently it would have been impossible for a vegan human to live naturally without dying very quickly.
Now, meat makes up for all these lost nutrients very nicely, and it really shows how we aren't naturally vegans, as until very recently it was impossible to live like that.
However, despite the proof that we are designed to eat meat, people still claim otherwise. They claim that our digestive system is quite long and that we produce amylase, a starch splitting catabolic enzyme, akin to herbivores and unlike carnivores. Apparently this clearly shows that we were designed to eat plants. Such people should go and look up 'omnivore' in a dictionary, that we produce amylase is because we are also made to eat plants. They have also been known to cite other reasons we are like herbivores and unlike carnivores: that we suck water instead of lapping it, and that we perspire through our skin, such things have nothing at all to do with whether or not we were designed to eat meat, and nothing to do with how our body handles food. I might as well say that because we, like most carnivores and unlike most herbivores, have eyes that face forwards, we must be carnivorous. Of course, that's not true for precisely the same reason.
The fact is Humans are omnivores, with the ability to eat nearly everything. By preference, prehistoric people ate a high-protein, high-mineral diet based on meat and animal sources, whenever available. Their foods came mainly from three of the five food groups: meat, vegetables and fruits. As a result, big game mammoth hunters were tall and strong with massive bones. They grew six inches taller than their farming descendants in Europe, who ate mostly plant foods, and only in recent times regained most of this height upon again eating more meat, eggs and dairy foods. We are adapted to eat meat, and it is just as natural as eating plants.
Some also claim that the digestion of meat releases harmful byproducts into our system. This is true, however such are our adaptations to eating meat that our bodies are quite able to dispose of said products without any adverse effects.
So, in summary: it isn't healthier to avoid meat. You can be healthy without meat, but likely not as healthy as if you did, assuming you kept things like the wide range of fruit and veg that a veggie diet usually entails. Too much meat can be bad, but normal amounts are no problem at all. Any health benefits that come from a veggie diet come from a wide range of fruit and veg, and being health conscious, as veggies often are; that doesn't require you to not eat meat."
I don't think a vegan diet benefits anyone in any way better than a better meat eating diet could at all. If you have no ethical qualms, it's quite pointless. PETA will tell you otherwise, but they have very strong ethical opinions, and mould their 'evidence' around it. There is, for example, some evidence that vegans live longer and are at less risk from cancer and heart disease; however those studies show only a very marginal and insignificant difference and none of those studies have yet managed to identify meat as the only variable. Veggies are less likely to smoke, drink or eat junk food, and eat a wider range of fruit and veg, making the test results inaccurate and unreliable.
Meat is good,real good?
well, some people actually think it's good for them. and others just dont care. its like smoking and drinking, we know its bad for us, but we keep doing it. but at least you dont have to kill an animal to smoke or drink.
First of all learn to spell it helps so when people read your questions they don't think you are stupid. Meat itself is not bad for you. Many people just eat to much of it and eat to much red meat. If you eat a balanced diet including meat you can be just as healthy as a vegetarian or vegan.
