everything is harmful if you eat too much of it
We all know fast food is bad for us- but are sales of that going down? Like twinkies and Ho-hos are any better?
Most people eat crap. Unless the meat was going to kill them that second I don't think most people will care

go vegan!
not to sound like a fanatic, but meat nowadays is pretty harmful. what with the chemicals fed to the animals to increase production as well as all the nasty things used to preserve and enhance the appearance of it. bleh!
i'm personally a happy vegetarian. i don't eat too many of the "fake meats" on the market today (it's just a personal preference) although i can't seem to escape veggie chick'n strips in my stir-fries. in general, i eat lots of rice, beans, fruits and vegetables (i try to get fresh, local produce whenever i can), soy products, whole grains, teas. and lots of water. as a diet, it's far more environmentally sound. and without the animal proteins, i've literally cut out most of the fats and cholesterol that most people don't even realize that they're eating while still getting healthy sources of protein.

Well if you remove meat from the standard western diet, then you will end up not getting enough nutrition.
You can replace this easily by eating foods high in protien, such as beans, lentils and tofu.
If you cut out all animal products (dairy, eggs etc) then you have more problems. Usually you then need to add in seeds and nuts.
Vegans very often suffer from nutrition related health problems if they don't take care to eat properly, while vegetarians usually have little problem.

Lentils, beans and veggie products (the burgers are pretty good).

i wouldn't really eat it. i'd like to be a vegetarian but my iron levels were too low and it's too hard to cook special meals when living with a family.
so no, i wouldn't eat it.
