There is nothing wrong with eating meat ,, i go to gym , and it is important for me to eat meat if i want build my muscles as they provide me with nutrition proteins vitamins that i need , plus if eating meat is not good then why would GOD put all these cows goats here on earth surely not just to see them or touch them ,, think people

I share your view. It's like some form of control, similar to mass media. They believe nonsense written by someone, which may and may have not happened.
Today I'm eating fish, a nice change after that steak dinner last night. 

Tyson has lost his skills for thousands of reasons. However, i know that we r omnivore, and eating a bit of all is a good rule for being healty.

So, was it the meat or a weakened digestive system?

... andò after that he begun to lose his force

You can pump iron and become like Arnold on a Vegan diet too. You can get all you need from a non meat diet.

Funny thread.

I just watched a news story about vegetarians and they are not that healthy.

We are omnivorous creatures.

Eat steak and salad; pump iron; soon you be an Arnold.

I'm a little squeemish with meat. Don't like pork. Will not eat lamb or goat. Meat has to be well cooked. This medium rare shit does not fly with me.

Stop lying? I wouldn't lie to you man. Have you even prepared one of those dishes or not? This is from my personal experience. Cooking meat took a shitload of time, I had to let the meat thaw from the freezer, I had to cut the meat one by one, use up some oil, put it into a frying pan, let it sizzle, wait by the food, flip it over, etc, it just took a shitload of time. That vegan burger literally heats up in a minute or two no oil required. I'm not even lying or exaggerating. To prepare a salad, all you do is grab vegetables from the refrigerator, put it on a plate, add some sauce for flavor, then eat. To eat non-processed foods like fruit, all you do is grab the fruit, open it up, and eat. Where am I lying here? Try it, prepare a vegetarian or vegan food like those above, and it is basically instantaneous. I am surprised you even called me a liar.

The transition to not eating meat varies from person to person. I'm not saying it will be an easy transition for everyone, it depends on how willing you are to do your own research about the subject. See, if you were interested in becoming vegetarian, you would at least look up information about it, then you would try it out. For example pretty much 99% of anything you can eat is vegetarian. Read some more tips and advice from people, apply those, and it makes the transition a lot easier. You assumed I was making it seem like an easy transition, because it is, But like I said, it just depends on how you look at it and how willing you are to apply it.

Also, there aren't any sacrifices man. None. No sacrifices at all. The only thing you would gain from it are benefits and if you think about it, you know that what I'm saying is true.

its not wrong to eat meat, but dont eat to many 

but i dont know with junk food with meat, is that bad is it 

I would do this every day, if possible.

Fresh made meals do take a lot of time.
Someday I want to have the luxury of cooking (from scratch) at least one good meal per day.

Stop lying, those vegan dishes don't take less time to prepare and cook. I cook most of my food from scratch so I have quite a bit of experience. Cooking foods that you prepare from scratch usually takes a lot longer than eating outside or processed junk, but one must make some sacrifices to reap the benefits. You're trying to make it seem like going vegan is a smooth transition, but in reality it's a radical change in one's lifestyle where they would have to make sacrifices in order to gain perceived benefits.

I agree with you! --there is nothing wrong with eating meat!

Watch out Bit_Happy! Don't compare nutritional facts of meatless meat vs real meat!


One of them makes you tired, fat, groggy, slow, the other makes you energized, healthy, fast! Oh nooo I wonder which is the right choice?!


Oh definitely man, we need all those fats and cholesterols fo sho! I also know for a fact that cigarettes are bad for my health, waste of money, and unnecessary, but I'll smoke 'em anyway cause I be like F society dawg!!


Yeah I know ain't that ironic?



Also have any of you gone a day without meat or do you eat it daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? I used to eat meat daily 3 times a day too, until I found out how unnecessary that was! I was like *Facepalm*! Similar to smoking, just a waste of money, damage to health, and completely unnecessary. Zero reason other than "Just cause"

I see nothing with wrong eating meat. We need the nutrition. The only thing I don't like is some animals are killed in a brutal manner is what bothers me.

Richard Dawkins isn't a vegetarian or vegan though he sympathises with them. Maybe what he says will become true though. The recent developments in laboratory grown meat could make it become the norm as it has many benefits, but mainly it makes a massive difference to the environment.

Earlier I asked about natural control of diabetes, and part of the answer is exercise.
Daily exercise is very important to help control blood sugar levels.


@CoinGeneral, Now I'm hungry, some of those pictures look great. 

Translation: Meat wins in every category because it's the position I support and believe in, not because of facts or evidence. For example read my spaceship evolution diet later in this post.

Also I started out as a meat eater (like you) but thanks to some book reading and education, I tried something new and found out it was great.

I suggest reading some of the links I provide, watching the videos I provide, and also reading my posts instead of just saying you're right all the time, okay? I've taken up critical thought and fully knowing how both sides work, there are many stronger arguments against vegetarianism (that can still be taken down) that no one in this thread has ever mentioned. From my own research, experience, and critical thought though I've concluded that yes it tastes better, fills me up with more energy, has made me smarter, is cheaper too, you know there's really nothing bad I can say about it.

You say meat is better in these categories, what are your arguments, here are mine:

1) Taste. (Forget the fact that pretty much all herbs, spices, and sauces including barbecue sauce, are from plants).

Watch this video mate: http://www.today.com/food/today-puts-meatless-meat-test-does-it-taste-chicken-1D79579619

Click the link, watch the vid, read the article. Educate yourself.











It is so terrible man, the above food has no meat, tastes much better, is much cheaper to make, takes less time to prepare, has no animal cruelty, doesn't take months or years to raise, takes less water. Oh no it is way too terrible man!

I've been so weak and so stupid lately thanks to all these fruits and vegetables I've been eating, urgh no wonder the only thing you see those sick and obese people eating are fruits and vegetables, they are so bad for your health. Everywhere I go and see a fat dude, he's always eating some banana or chowing down on some broccoli, urgh. In the hospital all these sick people only eat apples and vegetables, proven to lower immune system and health, oh nooooo.

2: Caloric Density

Are you talking about more calories per 100g or less calories per 100g?

100g of steak has around 277 calories, we can round up to 300 calories if you want. Coconuts have 385 calories per 100g, but we can round down for you, to make it 300 calories per 100g. So both coconus and steak have same amount of calories per 100g. Prunes have 447 calories per cup, but we can round down to 300 calories per cup too if you want. Now they all have the same amount calories.

Wow you won. (<--- sarcasm)

3: Evolutionary Benefits

You talking about this evolutionary benefit?



Damn I'm sold!!

Now you say humans have evolved thanks to meat. There are also people that would argue against that, but I'll agree with you for now since most evidence would point to that conclusion as well.

For one second let's forget that humans have reached the top of the evolutionary chain. Let's forget that humans have the most impact on the planet. Let's forget that we have now reached a stage of comfort and lack of competition. Let's forget that to evolve as a species, it's necessary for the species to adapt to a new environment with new challenges.

[
Humans still have very sharp claws that can rip flesh, we still have our superior noses, we still have our very sharp canine teeth that can tear through flesh, we are still able to consume dead flesh safely without cooking it, humans still have superior agility, we still have a bloodlust when we look at any animal such as a dog we just want to eat it, and when we see some road kill and smell it, it smells really good to eat right then and there.

Also evolution isn't about adapting at all! Because we reached a plateau in our evolution and conquered all forces of nature, let's just keep doing what we've always been doing our entire lives. That is the only way we can evolve as a species; by not doing anything new or different.

Just in case you start talking about outer space evolution or whatever:

In space, we can easily raise cows and chickens inside of our spaceships and bring them to other planets too. Instead of having plants inside of spaceships, let's just bring animals along with us and raise them for months and years while they take up a large supply of food, water, and other resources that we instead could have used instead. Instead of plants that can grow from light bulbs, has a faster time to create food, and only requires a small amount of water, let's bring live animals with us instead to space. Great idea. That is a really good idea and easily sustainable.

Since we've reached an evolutionary peak as a species dominating all other lifeforms and reached comfort, the only way to evolve to the next evolutionary step is to adapt to a different lifestyle and diet.

------------------------

Anyway even Richard Dawkins says: "I wish everyone to be a vegetarian" or something like that.



In this day and age it's pretty crazy to imagine buying people, putting them in cramp spaces in boats for months giving them little food and care, selling them to other people, and then the people locking them up in tiny shacks at night with little food and care, and in the morning waking them up and having them work all day while whipping their backs and raping their women.

But it was pretty normal back then. Few people questioned the norm because it was what everyone else did. Then there were some few smart guys that said "Hey slavery ain't right" but then another group said "Yes it is cause we done it all the time, it done help us build the country"

Save that planet bro.

Some awesome advice:

DO NOT BECOME A VEGAN, VEGETARIAN, FRUITARIAN OR RAW FOODIST!!
