There is research that just came out that may change you're mind about being a vegetarian.

Scientists have discovered that after being a vegetation for a long time, it can start to shrink you're brain.

Vegetarians are 6x more likely to suffer from brain shrinkage than us meat eaters. But that does not mean you should switch to meat and don't eat veggies, you just need to have a nice balance.

The brain needs B-12 to stay healthy, and veggies don't provide that. Meat is the e=only excellent source of B-12, and so if you don't eat meat, you don't have B-12, thus the shrinkage of the brain.

Meat is good for the brain.
Yes, that is true, but nuts do the SAME thing as meat. actually Soy and other nuts have more protein than meat!

Eating vegetables is the closest thing to eating a handicap person, atleast meat can run away....

Does it matter if your brain shrinks? We only use half of it anyway!

The reason why vegiterians hate meat is probably because of what people do to the nimals. Have you ever been to a slaughter house? It's discusting and very cruel, so I understand them not wanting to eat meat.

I don't eat meat. and I'm not going to (even though i might not get the healthiest brain. but think the dammage is already done :P) because i can't stand the thought of animals being killed just so that i can have some meat. And I don't think it's unhealty. I always think of myself as very healty person because I do a lot of exersise and I actually think my sport performances became better when I became a vegetarian

Human beings are omnivores. We're designed to eat both meat and veggies. Why be limited? Sooner or later, we are all food.

I'm unable to eat red meat (beef, and some pork). I depend on Soy, nuts, and occasional chicken and fish. I'm not a member of PETA, I love meat! I only wish I could eat it!

I don't really have to worry about things like this, because I love meat. I have a balenced diet, but in my opinion there's nothing better than a juicy hamburger, especially when its still bloody.

Yep. I always say you need a little bit of everything to stay healthy. Don't overdo any one thing, but balance everything, and you will feel great and live well.

Wellllll i think its dumb to be a vegetarian.. Wats up with the sudden sprout of protect the animal activationists... Its kinda rlly annoying. Eating meat is essential to survival. If we dont eat meat we are unbalancing the rule of nature. We aren't killing the weak, and therefore one species may become lazy. Then all of a sudden we start relizing we need meat, and its to late for that species. They have become easy to kill, and all of a sudden there extinct.. In other words, you not eating meat could potentially cause extinction in the future. Just my theory. Ill prob get criticized for it but w/e.
