Why to be Vegetatrian or Non-Vegetatrian ?

Question

Give at least 5 reasons in your support.

Answer 1

Every Human is made to be a Vegetarian. Reasons :
1. Our teeth are like Herbivorous Animals.
2. We eat our food after chewing it. Whereas Carnivorous swallow.
3. We take water in small quantity in one swallow, whereas Carnivorous drink by tongue.
4. Our digestion system is not built to digest Meat.
5. We sweat all over our body, whereas Carnivorous sweat by tongue only.
6. We do not have right to kill innocent animals just for taste
and hunger when there is a plenty of Veg Food available on Earth.
7. When we cannot give life to a single dead body, we do not have right to kill any one.
8. By farming and killing animals we disturb the Food-Chain.
9. Animals suffer from various diseases, which are transmitted
to us by eating them. e.g. Bird Flu, Mad Cow
10. Eating Meat causes Heart Attack, Cancer, Hypertension, etc.
(-Dr. GoldStein, Noble Awardee)

Hence every Human should be a Vegitarian.

Answer 2

Non-veg

1. Eating meat is natural to us, we have evolved thus over millions of years.
2. Meat is the most nutritious foodstuff available to us.
3. Meat is important to the growth and development of young children
4. Not eating meat isn't any healthier, despite what PETA will tell you, so there really is no point.
5. If no one ate meat there wouldn't be enough food to go round the world. Most of the land we use for animals is unsuitable for the cultivation of crops.

@ Kyle Key, do you have some sort of innate need to attack everything I say?

1. We didn't evolve to rule over women or keep slaves, that's the difference. In most ancient cultures women were equal, albeit with different roles, it is unfortunate that the ones that came to dominate the western world didn't think the same way. On the other hand, our bodies and our digestive system have developed to eat meat.

2. No, I was correct. I never suggested those nutrients can't be got in other places, as you seem to have inferred, however, there are more nutrients in meat than any other food. In addition, in meat there is almost always more of said nutrients per pound than in any other non-meat source, and it is usually better quality. For instance, while there may well be more protein in some beans, our body is still better adapted to get it from meat and procures it more efficiently.

3. Ooh, I can quote not 'exactly' balanced studies too!

"[Professor Allen's] study found that small amounts of meat and milk in the daily diet of children doubled physical capability and enhanced mental acuity."

"Mothers who ate a vegetarian diet during pregnancy had a five-time greater risk of delivering a boy with hypospadias, a birth defect of the penis. Miscarriages are also more likely to occur."

And I'm too lazy to google up any more quotes, the fact is there ARE benefits to eating meat for children.

4. Well it really does depend on the diet of the meat eater. I maintain that any benefits come from the wide range of fruit and veg a veggie diet normally entails, rather than omitting meat. But yes, if done well a veggie diet can be just as healthy, if not healthier, than the average meat eating diet.

5. Well, maybe most was an exaggeration on my part, but in a very large proportion of cases at least. Over here the large majority of farming in northern England and Scotland is sheep or other livestock. That's simply because the land there is of a reasonably poor quality; good enough to handle grass, but any cultivation wouldn't yield very high. Admittedly in the south a lot of the land probably could be used for cultivation. My knowledge of farming in the USA is limited, but cattle can be fed on reasonably poor quality land because it can sustain grass? Look at cattle ranches in places like Texas, which is close to desert, how good a yield would come from that?
The study there refers to grain fed only, what about grass fed, then they have an abundant food source which is otherwise useless to us?

Answer 8

@AndyB:
"1. Eating meat is natural to us, we have evolved thus over millions of years."
The "it's natural" argument (i.e. what humans have done in the past justifies current continuance) can also be used to justify men's rule over women and slavery. The fact that an idea or behaviour was the status quo for a while doesn't mean that it was the best thought or course of action.

"2. Meat is the most nutritious foodstuff available to us."
Flat-out lie. There is no "most nutritious" food because, as anyone can guess, different foods have different nutrients--no single, natural food has everything. Per calorie, some beans have more protein than commonly eaten non-human animal meat, and most certainly, dark leafy greens (such as romaine lettuce, kale, or mustard greens) have more of certain vitamins and minerals per calorie than anything else on earth (Vitamin K, Vitamin A, and many others).

"3. Meat is important to the growth and development of young children."
Flat-out lie. http://www.veganhealth.org/articles/experts
From both the American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada:
"Well-planned vegan and other types of vegetarian diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Vegetarian diets offer a number of nutritional benefits, including lower levels of saturated fat, cholesterol, and animal protein as well as higher levels of carbohydrates, fiber, magnesium, potassium, folate, and antioxidants such as vitamins C and E and phytochemicals. Vegetarians have been reported to have lower body mass indices than nonvegetarians, as well as lower rates of death from ischemic heart disease; vegetarians also show lower blood cholesterol levels; lower blood pressure; and lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and prostate and colon cancer."

"4. Not eating meat isn't any healthier, despite what PETA will tell you, so there really is no point."
It usually IS slightly healthier, if calories from animal products are replaced with calories from fruits, vegetables and beans/legumes, though if a vegan tries to live off of processed, mainstream chips and pastries then yes, it will be unhealthier. But health isn't "the point" to begin with--not supporting unnecessary suffering is the driving factor. And given that millions of people are living without the consumption of non-human animal products, that makes it largely unnecessary. Some people in "third-world" countries may require it for life given that everything else in their region is too expensive, yes, but in all developed nations, there is rarely an excuse.

"5. If no one ate meat there wouldn't be enough food to go round the world. Most of the land we use for animals is unsuitable for the cultivation of crops."
Flat-out lie. You may be talking about England specifically, and it may be true, but I'm not going to verify your claim because England is a relatively small area of land and ultimately poses only a minor role in the global overview. In the United States, however, so well as in most other developed nations that I'm aware of, "most" of the land that non-human animals are on isn't "unsuitable for the cultivation of crops." The best way to think of eating meat is as supporting a "protein factory in reverse." Specifically talking about cows:
"Ms. Lappé points out that vegetables, grains, and fruits—properly balanced for amino acids—can provide more protein per acre than meat. Each 16 pounds of perfectly edible human food in the form of grain fed to cattle produce only one pound of beef. This is “a protein factory in reverse.”17 Lappé’s calculation is conservative; prime-fed cattle have 63% more fat than standard grade, and much of it is trimmed off, cooked away, or left on the plate. Even the fat that is eaten is usually not wanted. Subtracting the unwanted fat demonstrates that it requires more than 16 pounds of grain to produce one pound of meat."

Even if you dispute the actual number, it's impossible to dispute the fact that animals take in more food than they produce. Buying meat ensures that the world has less food, not more.

EDIT:
Haha, this is ridiculous. How can I argue points when you don't list any sources and make claims that simply aren't true?

I'm quoting the largest associations of dieticians in the United States and Canada, and in response, you're quoting studies funded by the meat industry. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veganism#Health_criticism ) Third paragraph down. "Prof. Allen's also conducted research in rural Africa, partially backed by the U.S. based National Cattlemen's Beef Association." Not only that, but your own dietetic association disagrees with the results! Haha. "However, the British Dietetic Association stated that the findings were not applicable to vegan children in the developed world."

Just as embarrassing as that is, I could easily reveal the rest of your "points" to be flagrantly false, but there's little in it for me when you're going to simply pretend to be correct no matter what.
