Why are cows made out meat...?

Question

...when all they eat is grass? (ok, some of them eat special cow feed, but ignore them for a mo)

How come cows are made of protein when all they eat is grass? How come carnivorous animals need to eat protein when vegetarian animals do fine without it?

Answer 1

Your made up of meat too! What we call meat is actually the muscle of the animal. Chicken, pork, beef, fish; The part we eat is the muscle.

Some animals are adapted to eat plants. It takes a lot of time and energy to convert the energy stored in plants into energy the animal can use. On top of this, it can require HUGE amounts of plant material to keep an animal alive. Have you seen how much a cow can eat. Or an elephant?

The other type of animals, carnivores, cannot convert plant material into energy. They eat other animals, and get the energy that animal converted. Also most carnivores, including man, cannot make certain proteins on our own. They have to be eaten. While some plants contain the proteins in small quantities, the largest source is "meat."

Answer 2

muscles = meat

Listen, everything is made out of meat. Ok so not EVERYTHING is, but all animals and insects are made out of meat.

And they're not really made out of "meat" The meat is actually muscle. All animals move, eat, and drink, and each of those simple tasks require lots and lots of muscles, which is meat.

Answer 3

Vegetarians are made of meat, and all they eat is veggies!
