For those who can be satisfied on just vegetables, have at it. I'll take the small amount of meat I do eat and savor it.

Meat has certain Vitamins In it that help us in everyday life,... and it is amazing!!!

ok 2 good reason why yes, we do need meat:

1) its got vitamins and other stuff in it that our bodies need, such as iron.

2) it tastes SO DAMN GOOD!!!!

:]

Yes that's obvious but the question is; What's worse, too much meat or no meat at all? Most people have too much meat in their diet.

Try and take my steak, chicken and pork away from me Try it; just try it. ;)

Do you think that the first humans who were hunter gatherers could have received the necessary protein they needed to live by just eating vegetables? It wasn't until the introduction of agriculture and science that people said, "I don't need meat, because this plant that is non-native to my area provides enough protein." Also, for all those people who buy these soy burgers that cost twice as much as a regular beef burger because they taste "just like meat", if you want to eat something that tastes like meat, eat meat.

Edit: Humans evolved as omnivores because we could not get all our nutrients from one source such as plants or animals.

How can vegetables build great iron in our bodies if we eat them all the time!!!

How can ONLY vegetables be satisfying for dinner???

We need meat in our bodies!!!

i tell you one thing you cannot simply say that do we really need meat

the people living in and around soudi arabia have no natural vegetation so they can grow plants, so it is a must that for food they must depend on meat

whereas other places there is a lot of vegetation to fill our bellies, so we didnt ever noticed that we can eat animals too

but due to globalisation we are under international interactions so we discuss all such useless issues to a serious extent

the people who need it will take it, they arent imposing on anybody that im non-veg so you also be a non-veg, whereas the veg does

at last the one who needs it has to take it

How many vegetarians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

I don't know, but where do you get your protein!?

How many vegans does it take to change a lightbulb?

Two, one to change it and one to check for animal ingredients.

And my personal favorite:

How many vegans does it take to change a lightbulb?

None, vegans can't change anything.

The animals are designed to be eaten. I really don't see why we shouldn't eat meat.

Yes, we need meat. It gives up nutrients that our body needs.

If by meat you mean also animal byproducts like egg and milk, then you are mentally messed up. Of course we need animal products, just look at the vegans and you will see how sick they look with no muscles.

-=eats raw steak-= harharhar!

Meat is probably one of the best sources of protein and iron you can get. Of course you can get iron from other exotic foods yes, but meat is irreplaceable. Our bodies NEED amino acids from proteins in order for our cells and other body parts to function properly. Go ahead. Stop eating meat and see what happens.

We have the biological capability to eat meat. We also have the biological capability to eat animal byproducts (milk, eggs) and the capability to eat vegetables and fruit. Therefore, we don't need to eat meat to survive. I think it's beneficial in a diet if you want a lot of protein, which can also be found in nuts, tofu, and a few other foods. But meat isn't a necessity.

No of course not. But like hell I'm going to give it up. I like food that tastes good. Not that I don't like vegetables, but I have needs that broccoli and cabbage just can't satisfy. Plus I'm a heartless bastard. Speaking of hearts...

I've been vegan since I was 14 years old, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. Yes, I'm satisfied without meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, or any other animal by-products.

I'm vegeterian and I'm alive. Physically I'm in better shape/condition than the average person my age.

So we don't NEED meat.

Do we need meat to survive? No.

Do we need meat to be satisfied? That depends.

I'm a vegetarian and I'm perfectly fine with not eating meat. It makes it difficult to go out to eat or overseas travel but i'm not worse off and I think it's a better lifestyle.

What we do need is protein but that and other elements can be gained from other non-meat foods and thus meat is not necessary for humans.

No you dont, but i will gladly continue eating animals. It's too much of a hastle trying to substitute for meat when you have the real thing ready and available.

Vegetables do not hold the proper proteins to sustain us fully. We need meat in small amounts to live a full life
