why dose people eat meat when thay now it's bad for them?

Question

like aggs beef cheeken

Answer 1

I don't know. Seems kind of silly that anyone would do something they know is bad for them huh? Oh, sorry, my steak and eggs with a double side of bacon and deep fried hash browns are ready, so I need to put out my cigar and finish my beer real quick so I can go eat breakfast.

Answer 2

People are creatures of habit. That's why. Meat tastes good. The fat in meat tastes even better to most people. Alot of people don't care about their health to that point. They remain in denial and or make up excuses as to why meat is good for them or why there is no proof that meat is bad for them.

I turned vegetarian 9 months ago for my health, the craving has totally left me - and I was a CARNIVORE trust me! I lost 26 pounds. I have never felt more energy!

Truly Truly this has something to do with my change in diet.

Answer 3

First of all learn to spell it helps so when people read your questions they don't think you are stupid. Meat itself is not bad for you. Many people just eat to much of it and eat to much red meat. If you eat a balanced diet including meat you can be just as healthy as a vegetarian or vegan.

Answer 4

"Actually its been shown that a 100% vegetarian diet is bad for you. If you read about it its a major problem for those who practice it. People spurned butter for example and ate margarine instead."

Sorry, you're TALKING RUBBISH. The China Study was the biggest study on meat and dairy's effect on the human body EVER. The China Study is the only reliable study on this sort of thing. Even the BMA and other health associations come to a similar conclusion with their smaller scale studies.

Most margarine contains hydrogenated fat, which is why it is bad for you. Has nothing to do with vegetarianism, veganism or anything else.

However, the comment about the monkey-style diet is more on the mark. If you believe in evolution, it's important to understand we have descended from a herbivore, have herbivore intestines, herbivore sweat patterns and herbivore teeth (our canines are not 'true' canines). We have zero hunting instinct (even our ancestors had to use tools- ever seen a cheetah create a spear to help him catch a gazelle?).

We're not even a true omnivore. We're vegetarian. Face it. And stop misquoting and saying vegetarianism is bad for you, because that is, absolute b*llocks.

Answer 5

Actually its been shown that a 100% vegetarian diet is bad for you. If you read about it its a major problem for those who practice it. People spurned butter for example and ate margarine instead. Turns out that margarine causes cancer and reduces good cholesterol. There is no substitute for eating what the body is designed for....... good natural foods, including meat. But in moderation of course and I do agree people need to eat more veggies and fish. So many people jump on the vegetarian bandwagon without the benefit of educating themselves. Studies have shown that the best diet we are designed for is nuts, fruit and just some meat. Think monkeys on the savanah.

Answer 6

I think until the government get a backbone, the horrors of eating meat (including fish) will remain known to mostly only vegetarians and vegans (who usually go veggie for animal rights reasons).

Photos of people having black, rotting lumps of flesh removed from their colon to save them from cancer was one of the highlights for me.

Also, anyone with allergies should go vegan. Saved me from an anti-histamine addiction, knocked my allergies down to about 5% of what they once were. I have more energy at 1am than most people do at their peak during the day.

Reasons not to eat meat and dairy
CJD (BSE etc)
Salmonella
Thousands of blood and pus cells in milk
Growth hormones
Stomach cancer
Bowel cancer
Heart disease
Various cancers
Gallstones
Alzheimers
Obesity
Cholesterol Problems
Allergies (NEVER feed cow's milk in place of breast milk to babies. This is like child abuse, seriously. Babies fed cow's milk often end up with allergies, eczema, asthma etc)
Higher incident rate of caesarian births
Diabetes
Hypertension

Pick up a copy of The China Project. The biggest study on this subject and absolutely shocking.

Eat the typical meat and dairy diet, expect to die early.

Some people come out with crap like "My grandad ate black pudding every day of his life and lived till he was 90 ". This is rubbish. Did this person really eat black pudding every day? Ah, no. Old people have healthier diets than today's folk. Meat is a small part of a meal, and the older generation eat, and continue to eat a lot more veg than today's generation.

It's scary to think I will probably outlive my future grandchildren's friends.

Answer 7

Meat isn't bad for you. It gives you iron, calcium, and vitamins that you can't get from any other foods. It's protein which your body needs to build muscle and to survive. Meat fills you up too.

Answer 8

Why do people in Michigan drive 65 MPH on ice in white out conditions?

Why do people in Los Angeles burn parts of the city every 25 years in fits of rage?

Why do I smoke cigars and swill vodka every weekend?

Why do Scandinavian types eat rotten fish and call it a delicacy?

Why does my ex-husband's grandma's house smell funny?

Why do most Americans only speak one language?

Why do some fat people eat chocolate cake and drink diet coke? Or eat fast food?

Are people any smarter where you live? I doubt it, by the way. People are, well, people.

Life is full of mysteries, no?

Answer 9

I don't think there is anything wrong with Organic Meats and Dairy in moderation. I do agree that the majority of food in our diet should be vegetable/plant-based.

Answer 10

Let's put it this way: if you were on a desert island and had to stay alive by : 1. eating eggs, chicken and meat
