There is no reason to eat meat. I have been a vegetarian and a vegan for almost 20 years, and the health benefits alone should convince you to stop eating meat. Beef stays in your colon for 2 weeks before passing thru the body. Milk stays in your stomach for an hour before being digested. Our teeth are not designed to eat meat. They resemble cows teeth, not dogs or cats. If you take away all of our tools, there would be no way we could catch animals for food, much less out run any. We don't have the claws, teeth, speed or intestines to catch, tear open and digest the raw meat. Also, meat has no nutritional value. Only protein. Look on the meat label for all the vitamins and minerals you get from hamburger, chicken, turkey etc. and you won't be able to find any. Dead muscle is bad for you and no one should be told that there weird for wanting to be healthy.

Well you could eat meat if you choose to but there are many replacements for the nutrients protien and taste. Some products I would reccomend would be Morningstar Farms or Boca. But if you want something a little more nourishing the Amy brand is delicous especially the lasagna and enchiladas!!!

Most definitely not. There has been so much research showing that eliminating meat from your diet will reduce your risk of several types of cancer. Get your protein from beans and nuts and eat plenty of veggies. You don't HAVE to do anything, its a free country :)

NO!!!! I am so sick of this bull ****. You don't need meat or ANY OTHER ANIMAL PRODUCTS! People are so full of ****! Why don't you idiots at least try to educate yourselves a little bit? Hmm? Everything we need, and I mean absolutely EVERYTHING, can be obtained from NON-ANIMAL SOURCES! Read and do a little research instead of believing what our retarded societies and governments tell you.

No.
But it is good for you.
All the people that I know who are vegetarians have low levels of mental or physical energy.
If you never ate meat before, try eating smoked salmon, or other smoked fish. Then you can move on to the succulent stakes and grilled chicken and so on.
Other benefits of eating meat:
* You will not have limited choices when you want to dine out.
* It is easier for people who hang out with if eat meat.
If you eat mostly white meat(fish and chicken,) it can be even healthier than being vegetarian.
With regard to not killing animals and what not, all I can say that I enjoy my place on top of the food chain.

No. People appear to stay alive with or without it. Just use common sense and moderation, regardless of your choice. If you decide to vegan, just don't respond to things like the third comment above this one. It doesn't accomplish anything.

No, you should eat tofu and beans for necessary proteins and nourishment.
