Meat Exposed. Why you should be Vegetarian

Babies, toddlers, smaller kids, yes. I'm saying that there is just not enough nutritional supplements in vegan diet to replace meat. Meat is better source for proteins. You don't expose children to sudden diet change in contrast to thousands of years of evolution.
It doesn't count as much when you are older so go ahead and eat trees or whatever you like. IMO it benefits you mentally.
LOL
You do realise at least half a billion people on this planet are vegetarians? I'm sure they are all more sick and unhealthy than your typical fat meat eating american.
I'm not opposed to the slaughter of animals, but the way we are going about it is becoming increasingly unsustainable and inhumane. Throwing live animals into machines before systematically grinding/slicing them en masse is beyond fucked up considering that none of this NEEDS to happen if we would only be more fucking sensible by simply eating less meat.
Our huge powerful ancestors had a mostly vegetarian diet but ate meat too. You don't need meat, some is good but compared to our current diet a vegetarian one is far more healthy and beneficial. And lol at eating 'trees'.
Well there is the fact that being a vegetarian is absolutely more healthy than not being a vegetarian. Plus, who are you to say what a parent does inside their own household. It's ok for a Hindu parent to say you can't eat beef or a Jewish parent to say you can't eat pork, but it's not ok for a health conscious parent to not have their kids eat meat?
BTW I'm not a vegetarian (although I do try to keep my meat intake low).
All cool
Don't stereotype. Meat is healthy in decent amounts like any other food, not to mention is is crucial for young kids. Too much of everything will harm you.
You can boycott companies that are using savage treatment process, you can become vegetarian, you can wish for less people on earth, I don't care.
I'm just saying to leave kids out of it until they can decide for themselves. Science hasn't proved everything yet about meat supplements, until then we must rely on it. It's just idiotic to have your kids suffer just because lately it's becoming trendy to be a vegan
I was a vegetarian for 4 years, vegan for 1 year.
People that say being a vegetarian is a healthy alternative are incorrect.
1. You can eat unhealthy as a vegetarian or vegan. It makes it harder but its still very possible. As a personal example I ate a fuckton of pasta
2. Health issues with being vegetarian: Anemia. Yes you can eat things with iron in them blah blah, but practically I know of no vegetarians that eat enough iron to prevent this
3. Say goodbye to your muscles
What it comes down to is this...and I have failed on doing this to be fair.
Eat vegetables like a vegetarian and add meat. Problem is most meat eaters do not eat enough vegetables.
Lately I have been doing 1 cup of veggies, 8oz of meat, 3/4 cup of carbs. Seems to be the best breakdown and I am losing weight like a chick doing coke.

That sentence is just stupid. Can you please think this over? Don't listen to excessive vegie bullshit.
You are saying that eating meat is not healthy for you. Yet it has been crucial in our diet for thousands of years. I exercise regularly and keep my body in condition. That aspect has nothing to do with me eating meat or vegetables
That is just mini hitler inside me talking
Denying one type of meat does not equal all meat.
Yes, I hope police comes at their door and kicks the shit out of them.
Meat and meat products are tasty and don't cost much in the U.S., which is probably a big reason why 34% of Americans are obese. I've got some great ideas how to solve several problems at once. Make food stamps valid only for vegan food. And under Obamacare if you are overweight you are forced to eat vegan. I'm working on some more ways to intrude in y'all's personal lives.
Considering I used to hunt, I'd have no problem with that. Would just be another animal to gut, skin, and butcher.
You couldn't be more wrong here. Meat products are actually pretty expensive compared to other foods. Around here a nice cut of steak costs around $14-16 a pound. Americans are not fat because meat/meat products are "tasty and cheap." Americans are fat because they would rather go buy 3 big macs or a large pizza than cooking a healthy meal for themselves.
That's pretty cheap. Around here a decent cut of steak costs 3X that. Even crappy quality costs more than that.
That's surprising, glad I'm not there then. My point still stands though. Americans want a cheap meal (processed foods + instant gratification) instead of cooking their own meals.
No wonder Aliens don't openly visit us lol... If I flew to a planet and I watched one species dominate the other species of that planet and treat them like that I wouldn't open communications either.
To an alien, he wouldn't see life here as we do...he wouldn't see humans and animals as different species, with humans having this born right to dominate and enslave other species for their will. (Not that he would have to, because depending on when they visited they would of seen us enslaving other humans as well)
An alien would see an advanced, hostile species that enslaves weaker species and the more powerful it gets the more it will dominate and enslave.
Would you stop by and say hello?
