1-people are made of meat, and you probably aren't eating them. you probably don't eat dogs either. your argument is fallacious.
2-if humans ate only plants, it would require much less land than we now use for cattle, and would produce much more edible food. 20 vegetarians can live off of the land required to feed one meat eater. forests are actually leveled to make grazing land for cattle and to grow extra crops to be fed to cattle, which eat 16 pounds of grain for every pound of meat they gain.
there are 1,300,000,000 cattle in the world... i don't think they're in danger of dying out. worry about the animals that are practically extinct, not the overbred cattle.
as for people getting sick from lack of protein, vegetarians actually live longer, and have much lower rates of heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and cancer. (all the major diseases in the u.s.)
my solution? people should reduce, if not eliminate, their consumption of all animal products. it would save animal and human lives, and make a huge difference in saving the environment.

I'm not vegan, first of all.
1) Trees are not meant to eat animals, so why are animals still made of meat?
Humans are made of meat too, so why don't we eat them?
2) Say a cow needs to eat ten pounds of grain to make a pound of meat. Then without increasing farmland, you can feed more people on the grain directly than if you run the grain through a cow to grow meat.
3) It's really quite easy to mix grains and beans to get a balanced protein intake, no pills needed.

You don't make any sence.
Animals are not made of meat, they have flesh..just like you.
There are more then enough crops available to feed everyone. The amount of wasted fruits and vegetables that are thrown out is tremendous.
Protein is found in almost every food and very easy to get. It's nearly impossible not to get enough unless you are on a junk food diet.

Pound for pound or kg. for kg.To produce 1 kilo of meat you need to feed around 4 kilo of feed meal.To produce plant you only need water,sunlight and minute mineral to produce equivalent kg of plant.
In short the production of animal protein need a lot more energy than plant or vegetable and you can also recycled the process.
Hence you have got your reasoning's all mess out!!!

This is the dumbest argument ever, you're kidding right.
Where is your logic? Animals are meat but that doesn't mean we were meant to eat them.
They are bred for people like you, so stop breeding them and there is more room to grow vegetables and soy for protein.
Got it?

I do what I can to not harm animals, don't take it out on me if you are feeling guilty about eating meat. By the way, I don't push my diet on you, don't push yours on me.
