i bought myself a nutribullet pro. went from eating fast food meat and junk food to mostly fruit. banana, oranges, apples, grapes, strawberries, pineapple, watermelon, honeydew. i recently started adding some vegetables. kale, carrots, and celery. i make 3 or 4 smoothies a day. been doing it for about 2 months. i feel drastically better. especially my mood and state of mind. i will eat meat but its more of an occasional thing just to enjoy something different. that blender was one of the best things i have ever purchased. it's so much quicker easier and cheaper. i will never go back to my old eating habits.

There is this issue: not everyone has access to multiple kinds of fresh fruit at all times. I'd do that if I could. (I occasionally make smoothies too)

Smoothies aren't really good for you. Far too much sugar.

Mixing fruit only isn't good? Where did you come up with this Sherlock?

What do you mean?

You will die soon, if you do not eat meat. Wink

These meat substitutes are reinforced with the same nutrition meat has and more. Plus they don't have any cholesterol, they don't have a lot of fat, they have a lot of antioxidants and a lot of fiber in return.

Also vegetarians live longer than people who eat meat:

So I think the basis of your comment is due to culture and not science. Culture also raises us to be religious, but many of us start to question our beliefs. Many of us eat the same crap everyday but unlike religion many of us do not question our belief on why we eat what we eat.

Oh yeah, I just saw it on the news today! The transition to meatless meat. They gave 5 news anchors a chance to test out the meatless chicken and they agreed that the real chicken was on one side, the fake chicken was on the other. It turns out they got it wrong! They did the same for beef, and got it wrong as well.

So they thought the real meat was the fake meat, and the fake meat was the real meat. Imagine that!!

I also learned this new information because they showed how the top CEOs like the Twitter CEO who I found out is Vegan, Yahoo Founder Jerry Yang, and even Bill Gates are supporting this new revolutionary movement.

They also gave similar arguments that we have gone over in this thread, like:

The meatless meats taste the same if not better
It is has the same nutrition as meat and is fortified with more
There is no cholesterol and barely any fat
It is filled with antioxidants and fiber
It cost much much less to produce than real meat
Therefore it can also often be bought at a cheaper price
It doesn't take months or years to raise

Even Bill Gates says he could not tell the difference between real meat and meatless meat:

Note he gave these twitter quotes all in a row, all of it about meatless foods:

See most people here have never tried meatless meat and therefore they think it doesn't taste as good, nor do they think it is as nutritious. It's wrong to assume things when other people who have tried it say otherwise, as well as when you have never tried it out yourself.

I once read their are nutrients that can only be found in beef. Also I think people eat to much meat and they aren't exercising as much as they could so they have an excess of protein which means they will put on weight.

What nutrients are those?

These have been talked about in page 10, fyi

Time is on our side, yes it is!

that is true many people have allergies that must be taken into consideration. Our species have survived thanks to meat for a long time so in my mind if consumed responsibly.

If you buy them, probably, but they're healthy if you make them yourself.

How so? Fruits are full of natural sugars and liquidating loads isn't good. Just fruit juice is worse though.

Our body needs somewhere between 120 and 200 grams of natural sugars per day.

Our bodies can convert complex carbs into glucose, so we certainly don't need that much sugar. Everybody is different and you can't expect that different people will thrive on the same diet. Some people's bodies need more meats, or sugars, or fats. Some people can't synthesize certain essential amino acids, some can't digest certain grains properly, etc.

How much is in a smoothie?

Well it depends on what you put in it.
If you do a smoothie with one banana (20g glucides), one apple (15g), and half a mango (15g), that's still less than 40% of the recommended amount of glucides to eat in a day.

That's fine but not dumping all this in one go:

Frozen fruits and veggies are fine for this
