Can your body ever recover from eating meat?

Question

As we all know, eating meat will kill you. Our digestive track was designed for a vegan diet and we were never meant to eat meat. This has been proven over and over again in scientific studies.

My question is this, can your body ever fully recover from eating meat?

I have a friend who got really sick from eating meat and not eating fresh fruits and vegetables. This friend is currently staying home because he was disabled from a work related injury. I have been entrusted to buy this friend's groceries while his caregiver is away. He has been requesting meat, but I refuse to buy it and I now have him on a vegan diet. Some friends of his tried to sneak him a bucket of chicken from KFC, but luckily I caught them as they were pulling into the drive way and I told them to leave. He claims he doesn't feel good when he doesn't eat meat and now he is saying he is tired because I won't let him eat meat. I informed him that his body is detoxing and that he will have to hang in there.

Answer 1

Goodness gracious, you must have a lot of time on your hands. You come up with these little stories every couple of days!

I did enjoy the protesting at the side of the road story. This one's not quite as fun, though.

Answer 2

Your body will recover once it leaves your digestive system, yes that means you have to poop it out(I sound immature...).
Well, a human must eat an equal amount of meat AND fruits and vegetables.
Sticking to only will make you sick from not eating the recommended other.
Though I do know that they have soy meat and such that provide the protein needed for the human body, so I suppose the vegetarian/vegan diet is good as long as you get some protein.
Well, not sure about your statement how our digestive system isn't meant to eat meat BUT:
Our digestive system for some reason can't digest beans or something, which causes gas, but we eat it anyways.
Also, we have "carnivorous" teeth too, also the other type of teeth(forgot the name), used to eat our vegetables and fruits. So we were intended to eat both vegetables, fruits and meat. We have evolved to do so(if you believe in the evolution theory), and maybe us humans are going to evolve so that the meat can be digested.
Who knows?
We DO live in a crazy world, anything is possible.
Happy Holidays! :]

1. Men in general do not need to eat meat; it is not a necessity; and (barring any allergies or digestion disorders) any weight loss and weakness you have allegedly experienced is from a failure to eat enough food, not from not eating meat. It takes a lot more volume of plant food to replace the protein and calories contained in meat, so you might not be used to eating that much. 2. That said, why are you letting your girlfriend dictate your diet? You whine like a 10 year old whose mother doesn't serve him what he wants to eat. If you're an adult, you can cook your own meals or (if it's her kitchen and she objects to cooking meat in the house) buy takeout. I doubt she'll break up with you over this, unless you lied and said you were a vegan before you started dating.

Answer 4

oy. I saw my mom through a really bad illness and I provided - and cooked - meat for her when she requested it. Even though we, as vegetarians or vegans, try to uphold the ethical standards we have set for ourselves, there are a few more important things and that includes friends and family. I would rather see my mom healthy & eating than to shove my own dietary choices down her throat. (literally!)
Also, think about what a bad name you're giving vegans. I assume that you want to promote veganism but no one wants to convert when the only vegan they know is some militant ***** who cares more about making a statement than caring for her friend. I suggest reading the book Vegan Freak by Bob & Jenna Torres.
Also, you sent away his friends just because they brought a bucket of chicken? Not a good way to win friends & influence people there.
Try this: prepare a vegan meal. If your friend wants meat then purchase something ready-to-eat or heat & eat for him. I can't tell you how many times my dad has eaten full vegan dinners as prepared by myself and enjoyed a side of chicken nuggets with it. Hey, you do what you can.

Answer 5

Humans were designed to eat meat, just not as much as we eat these days. For centuries humans diet was mainly grains with veggies and some fruits thrown in. Grains and veggies would have been the easiest things to store. Fruits go rotten quickly so they would have been used only when in season.

When the hunters went out for big game people would have meat for awhile but they couldn't store it very well so it wasn't a huge part of their diet. Even a hundred years ago most people only had meat for dinner once or twice a week because it was to expensive to have more.

These days many people have made meat the main part of their diet. It's something they eat at every meal and that's just to much. It's also true that many people these days don't get the fruits and veggies that they should.

However, it isn't right for you to force someone to eat the way that you think they should. If he wants meat, he has a right to eat it. You're being a food nazi and the more you won't allow him to have it the more he's going to resent you for keeping it from him. The resentment will grow till he finds a way to get away from you and out from under your control.

Answer 6

You are holding someone prisoner in their own home! Your friend has a right to choose what he wants to eat just as you do. If scientific studies proved that meat was good for you (as some do), would you want someone to force you to eat it? I hope he can find a new grocery shopper. I think that my body had a hard time recovering from not eating meat. I lost too much weight and had fainting episodes when I was a vegetarian and pregnant. I now eat meat, but only meat that I grow myself on grass (not grain). bon appetit, whatever your choice for you is!

Answer 7

for those of you saying that meat isn't bad for you, maybe you shouldn't be so ignorant and do some reading. it's proven over and over that a vegan/vegetarian diet is healthier. meat is full of harmful substances.

HOWEVER. that doesnt make it okay for you to force a new diet upon him. that's a personal decision that they need to make for themselves. you could be harming them by doing it so rapidly. diet changes should me made slowly, allowing your body time to adjust. encourage them. dont force

ohh. and just so you guys dont think im some "stupid vegan." im not. i eat meat just like the rest of you. i just apparently am more informed

Answer 8

Another FAKE post from the FAKE VEGAN TROLL trying to make vegan diets look unhealthy. A healthy diet is a balanced diet, whether you are a vegan, vegetarian, fruitarian or meat eater.
This poster is a troll trying to discredit veganism. I'm not a vegan myself but I respect the beliefs & feelings of others that are & I know it can be healthy. Whoever this person is he/she has way too much time on their hands because he/she is a regular vegan troll.

Answer 9

oh please woman. I have NEVER read or heard on the news ANYWHERE that eating meat is bad for you. also, please stop pretending to be vegan, we all know you're not, its not fooling anyone! Nobody could possibly be THIS stupid. your like the annoying little storm that hangs over this section.
Also, your friend is probably anemic, thanks to you! If i ever see you ill eat you! gaw, let people live the way they want to live! if i were your friend, i would sneak chicken behind your back too! i seriously don't blame him! how can you take control over his life like that?! you seriously need to lay off, or people will begin to not be your friend. then who will poor little ashly boss around then?

also, i find it very annoying how some of you give thumbs down to those who are meat eaters. and here yall think WE are racist.

Answer 10

I must remember to tell my cousin who is 104 next birthday and makes herself a stove-top meat & vegie stew most days, that she should stop eating meat because it will kill her.
Why don't you give your friend vegetarian sausages and burgers? You can chop them into a curry sauce, if you must, and tell him it tastes just like chicken if you can't bring yourself to cook meat. Or you maybe take it in turns with someone else who is able to cook meat, so that he can have something he really likes to eat.
I am a great believer in "listening" to your body. If his is saying that it wants meat, then maybe it needs some.

Answer 11

Quote 'As we all know, eating meat will kill you.' - really?

Average lifespan of a human being as quoted in the scriptures - three score years and ten, or to you - 70 years.

My parents - rapidly heading towards their nineties - are still in excellent health, walk regularly, take care of over an acre of garden without help, and have always been meat eaters.

As you yourself profess to having suffered from many gastric and hormonal disorders within your incredibly short lifespan so far, its obvious which diet is healthier.

Incidentally, so far you have never admitted to being medically qualified in any of the subjects to which you address, so I would like to make a constructive suggestion.

Shut the phuque up.
