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

This is something of a common misconception. Vegetables do provide all the nutrients we need to live, and live a full life. Vegetarians only have to eat a wider variety of food to get the nutrients.

A small resource: http://www.mypyramid.gov/tips_resources/ vegetarian_diets.html

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!!!!

:]

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

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 understand how you are saying that now, humans have other options for protein than meat, but lets think back to ummmm... 8000 BC. The early tribesmen didn't know about protein and soy, they knew that as long as they ate meat and vegetables and fruits and dairy, that they would survive.

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.

That taught me a lot. If you are vegetarian, then you must eat a much wider variety of foods, and if you think you can play all that extra to go that mile, go ahead.

And plus, where else will you get those vital amino acids that cause our bodies to build muscle? Show me one vegetarian who happens to be muscular. You can't.

Coming from a vegetarian? A vital vitamin that is necessary to the human body that is deprived when one becomes a vegetarian is Vitamin B12, and that is necessary for a healthy immune system! Better watch that connection to the brain bud.

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.

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

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.

yes meet is important to grow and become fat and keep your self active

yes really.

no thats right it doesnt mean it will work for everyone.

Thanks so i CAN still eat meat.

What would you know about true morals or ethical reasons?

The more you assume you know me and what my experienes are , the more toned my belly gets(not that i have ever been obese ,sure, a little chubby once or twice but never obese ,

thanks 4 the laughs kid.

ps , just like you

I am not racist in all entirety.

YES that story does cut me up .

Again i laugh at your assumptions.

A poem ?

Kinda it was not a poem .

I was trying to take it slowly ,

hoping it may register,

what i was saying.

And thanks you make me smile.

AND laugh so hard .

Hey you know what ? , your so right ,

there is vegetarianism and veganism.

And good for you that youre ....well who really gives a fuck.

That just means more steak for those who do wish to eat it.

And you know what ?

As for "Me and millions of others. All living healthily - more than most."

Another whoopydo for you.

But did you know that there are some people who are allergic to nuts.

And that there is an increase of allergic reactions to vegetables.

What im saying is that if it works for you and millions of others does not means that it will work for everyone .

Proof ?

Find it your fucking self ,

beyond youre family or community (that YOU know of)

BTW

May i reccomend you try breatharianism.

PLEASE

"Even early tribesmen didn't NEED meat to survive"

WITHOUT IT OUR BRAINS WOULD NOT HAVE DEVELOPED TO WHERE THEY ARE NOW .BECAUSE OF THAT , HAD WE OF NOT EATEN MEAT, WAY BACK IN THE BEGGINING,

WE WOULD BE EXTINCT.

PLEASE KINDA, STAY A VEGETARIAN.

OH and just because im not edumacated to your liking doesnt make me an idiot in everyones elses eyes ,

But funnily quite a lot think the same about YOU being an arsehole.:):):):):):):):):):):)

crack me up , i just read an arguement from an anti-meat-eater

on yahoo

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090112190123AAwxKYE

who was making good points on comparing vitamins in meat to veges. She fucked it up when she finished off by saying " B12 can be gotten from eggs "

OH , SO ITS OK TO EAT CHICKEN FETUSES BUT NOT MEAT ?.

SOME OF THESE ANTI-MEAT-EATERS , ARE OBVIOUSLY IN NEED OF SOME BRAIN FOOD!

OH

AND P FRIGGIN S ,

I LOVE MY VEGES , PREFER THEM TO MEAT ACTUALLY

BUT I BECOME ANAEMIC IF I DONT EAT IT AND I CANT TAKE IRON SUPLEMENTS.

EVEN WIERDER , WHEN I GET THAT CRAVING , I LIKE IT RARE TO RAW.

However, you have completely failed to mention amino acids every time you forget that this is a debate and not time for little "kinda" to show off. wait, that happens to be every time you make an argument...my bad!

This doesnt' mean that II am just saying a quote i have seen a whole lot of times.

Life isn't fair. Get used to it.

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!

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

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

Hmmm what about those that are starving? I think they would take just about any food, same with the malnutritioned people mentioned earlier. Those people NEED meet, and if you check this prompt, that answers it well since the world VARIES

And if you didn't notice, he DID answer the question in his first sentence.

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.

There you go again defending your vegetarianism like it's your religion and that the world's going to end if it doesn't win this online debate or you don't get your daily bowl of tofu! You can't take in all these ingredients and not even flex a muscle in order to get "ripped" like you and your "flawless "friends" claim to be. Or are you referring to circle shapes? I'm sorry, I think we're on different levels.

Repeating your argument over and over doesn't make it right. 1: you didn't make this debate. 2: That's a stupid of a technique as saying: MY ARGUMENT IS LOUDER, YOURS IS INVALID!!!!!!!!

Agreed, you can cook it in so many ways and it tastes so great every time!

Haha 'specially if other people your age are gone. SHAPE refers to the exercise you get and also the PROTEIN coming in.

Ok but that's how you choose to live your life. Same with your "friends". You are denied the taste of meat and forced to enjoy tofu, whoop dee freakin doo.

Way to say the same thing twice. I don't think it was necessary for the first one though.

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

touchee. That was a very informative site. I consider eggs to technically come from meat but besides the point. i concede.

oh im quite happy to be an idiot ,

thank you.

Id rather be an idiot than a fucking arsehole.

YOU SAY MY ARGUMENTS ARE BS IN EVERY DEBATE.

I can find just as many silly arguments like my "grrrr" one.

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.
