Apparently not, according to the articles I have mentioned. We are omnivores and we need to consume some “animal products”

I know that the meat industry does do harm but it doesn’t have to be that way. Scientists are working on making meat “green”

And no it’s not apparently. I’ve read it in so many articles that I have lost count

@sidiggy1 yer but vegtables tast like shit fuk the health pfft

A lot of people in several countries striken by poverty and war don’t have many options regarding the food. Is either meat or nothing for them.

@chipperfieldreborn I don’t buy your bullshit. If we were to stop eating meat, and use the wheat and other plant materials factory farm animals are fed to feed humans we’d all be in good shape. you can find every nutritional value in plant material. Why? Because thats where plant eating cows and chickens get their nutrition from. Plants are purer form of nutrition without the nasty saturated fats.

@chipperfieldreborn We don’t ‘need’ meat. We’re omnivores. We can have one or the other and still survive just fine. Plants actually have better quality proteins in them. Its just that some people don’t realize that most animals think beyond instincts, though their thoughts aren’t very logical, but more emotional. ‘Rights’ for animal terms is not voting or driving, but it is meant that humans are not masters, we are stewards to respect the well being and comfort-ability of an animals life.

@rob2233 Thinking like that at least I can live 20 years longer. On your death bed think ” I could’ve lived longer if I could’ve shown some Godly outlook on the treatment of animals.” We essentially are Gods to animals and we should treat them as an all loving God would.

I’m not asking you to “buy” my quoted Oxford “Bullshit” but I am a free man and will not keep my mouth shut while propaganda and lies are forced onto the minds of human beings. It has been proven that veganism can lead to brain shrinkage because “plant material” does not contain enough of it. And on top of that, every vegan that I have met is extremely lanky, and often a very bitter soul

We do need meat, read my earlier post. And there is a lot to be said about the wonderfood, SOYA, and it’s harmful traits. Rights do not exist in the world of “non-humans” because they do not fit in with their lifestyle so all that you are doing is forcing a totally human idea onto beings that do not want it

@chipperfieldreborn Lanky? the worlds strongest kid, the body builder is a vegan (or vegetarian :S) meditation is a good way to increase brain mass and brain functionality. Also, we’re bitter because we see people pruposely run over over animals, skin animals alive, and exploit nature beyond its breaking point for their own power or greed. Its why we’re bitter. I myself really want to end my life, but I only carry on hoping to try and change this planet. Since Americas been here its been money#1

@chipperfieldreborn they don’t want to be treated with respect by what they probably view as equivalent to aliens? why would any animal want to go over Niagara Falls in a burning boat? (in the 1800′s they did that) but still. Why is greed and entertainment more valuable than an animals life? :S

Vegetarians get a little more of the nutrition that you get from animal products. That depends on if you believe in it, seeing as meditation is a spiritual exercise. Do you know many people that deliberately run over animals and/or skin them alive? If you do you need to meet new people. Great, now I’m debating with a suicidal! I don’t know if that says more about you or me. End your life if you don’t want to live, I won’t get in your way. And that’s how you just annoyed an entire nation.

I’m sorry can you remove the examples? You’ve lost me with that one. I don’t believe in killing an animal in the name of entertainment and never said that it is acceptable, think before you post. Don’t be another TheCite

@chipperfieldreborn I see people in my town deliberately run over animals, which when I become a Game Warden they will be heavily fined for animal cruelty.

Well that is “your town” and said town does not represent the entire human race. I doubt that even the kind people of your town will want a suicidal Game Warden, and I don’t think that the animals would appreciate that much either

yeah you’re right. Even vegetarians always get ill and have horrible pasty skin but vegan is just outright dangerous.

You know humans are not the only species who eat meat.

Just so you know, plants do not contain sufficent protein. They are incomplete. You must not argue with me on this because it is one of those things of which i know.

oh god, plants are incomplete…I don’t know if in plants you include also soy, lentils, beans. Soy has 35% of proteins. Soy doesn’t have animal fat, is more complete than meat because it gives proteins,fibres,corboidrates and a very good quality of fats. Percentage of protein that the body takes from meat : 85%-90%, percentage from soy 75-78%, therefore meat has a more complete scheme of aminoacids, but the quantity of protein is larger in soy.
This is just so you know…

“you must not argue with me because it is one of those things of which i know”
haha! say no more, you’ve proven youself!

@bendebiase A simple google search will show you the protein content of plant based foods and animal foods.

@PioMarolla no you are wrong. The proteins in plant foods are incomplete. Thats the end of the story. you need to source protein from many different plant foods in order to make the proteins complete. They are complete in animal products because you are eating the muscle. It is honestly very simple science there is no opnion or ‘i’m going to say this because i support animal rights’ etc. the only way to eat complete proteins from a single source is from meat.

@PioMarolla dietary fat regulates hormoe production, there is nothing wrong with fat.

Its always been power #1 and in our current system the best way to get power is to get money. You could also get power by being a great artist or politician or scientist, but money is the easiest way to go.

Men with power get to boss other men around and woman want to sleep with them.

This is the way the world has been for all recorded time and it most assuredly continue.

@360cbh I’m wrong about what?
As I said, meat has a more complete scheme of aminoacids, and as I said, it means that you can “use” a higher percentage of proteins. end of the story. there are thousands of vegetarians and they are generally healthy(me included), It’s enough to have variety in your diet, which is a good thing anyway. they don’t suffer colesterol,obesity. this is the real end of the story.
