Willl you please, give me good reasons for not eating meat.?

Answer 1

All muscle tissue is very high in protein, containing all of the essential amino acids. Muscle tissue is very low in carbohydrates, leading to its importance within the Atkins diet. The fat content of meat can vary widely depending on the species and breed of animal, the anatomical part of its body, and the methods of butchering and cooking. Wild animals such as deer are typically leaner than farm animals, leading to the increasing popularity of game such as venison; however, centuries of breeding meat animals for size and fatness is being reversed by consumer demand for meat with less fat. Animal fat is relatively high in saturated fat and cholesterol, which have been linked to various health problems, including heart disease and arteriosclerosis.

Red meat, such as beef, pork, and lamb, contains many essential nutrients necessary for healthy growth and development in children, as well as for good health and well-being in adults. These nutrients include iron, zinc, and protein.[1] In fact, most meats contain a full complement of the amino acids required for the human diet. Fruits and vegetables, by contrast, are usually lacking several essential amino acids. It is for this reason that people who abstain from eating all meat must plan their diet to include sources of all the necessary amino acids.

The table at right compares the nutritional content of several types of meat. While each kind of meat has about the same content of protein and carbohydrates, there is a very wide range of fat content. It is the additional fat that contributes most to the calorie content of meat, and to concerns about dietary health. A famous study, the Nurses' Health Study, followed about one-hundred-thousand female nurses and their eating habits. Nurses who ate the largest amount of animal fat were twice as likely to develop colon cancer as the nurses who ate the least amount of animal fat.

In response to health concerns about saturated fat and cholesterol, consumers have altered their consumption of various meats. A USDA report points out that consumption of beef in the United States between 1970–1974 and 1990–1994 dropped by 21%, while consumption of chicken increased by 90%. Overall, the trend is towards ever increasing meat consumption.

Meat can transmit certain diseases. Undercooked pork sometimes contains the parasites that cause trichinosis or cysticercosis. Chicken is sometimes contaminated with Salmonella enterica disease-causing bacteria. The recent outbreak of bird flu has stimulated global concerns over public health. Cattle tissue occasionally contains the prions that cause variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

Answer 4

Well, for starters, if you are a animal lover, you already have one reason.

The land we use for growing vegetables are environmentally beneficial compared to poultry.

When an animal is killed or slaughtered, their brain produces a toxic chemical, due to fear and anxiety, which stays in the meat and guess what happens when you consume it. Go figure out.

Human's teeth are design for vegetable consumption. If you notice carnivorous, their teeth are so very different from ours, sharp. Ours resembles herbivorous.

Maybe a question you should ask yourself is why are there more disease related to poultry animals now. Cow (Mad Cow Disease), Pig (Can't remember this one), Chicken (Bird Flu), etc
