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.

omg your serious.... your honestly saying you dont eat meat? K lemme tell you sumthing about becoming a vegetarian and other stuff around it.
1) there a study that shows vegetarians have at least a 2X smaller brain than people that eat meat.
2) If tigers, cheetahs, whales, sharks, hippos, rhynos, jaguars, coyotes, wolves, etc... found us alone, they would eat us with out hesitation. Its called survival. They dont give a sh't if you have a beating heart or not. They need food, and we need food, its a character of life.
3) Not eating animals creates an over existence of one type of animal. You are screwing up natural life. Its supposed to be that the strong get to keep moving on in life, and the weak won't. The weak will die, and the strong will live to continue that chain of there family and make them stronger with evolution. We not eating meat makes other animals become more lazy, therefore allowing predators to relax, and eventual the whole food chain is f'cked up.
4) We need protein, and tofu just tastes like a spoonfull of sh't. I've tried it and almost puked. I would rather eat meat than eat anything else in the world.
5) Our forefathers had to eat meat to survive, and so o we. Now adays its just easier to buy it at a store.
6) You gain muscles eating meat, alllowing you to become healthy, and stronger.
7) Ya wat else are you gonna do with its skin? Throw it out lol. (I dont beleive in killing animals for fur. I beleive if we kill animals, we should use as most of it as possible. It does have a life, and when animals kill us or other animals, they eat as much as they can.)

Noncomformist on Vegetarian Anyone?

i totally agree with him being a vegetarinan is basically saying god is wrong (if you believe in the bible and you should)

Kid_Saiyain on Vegetarian Anyone?

To provide a wider perspective, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism support vegetarianism. Of course, not all Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains are strictly vegetarian.

Now, start discussing?


Is there really anything left to discuss? We showed up the first post as being generally untrue. I posted information about being a very healthy vegan and vegetarian. We've discussed the various reasons for people being such and various reasons why other people think it's silly. And quite a few of the posts consisted of people laughing and talking about eating burgers.

So aside from all the info found in the various pages is there a topic left we haven't covered?

"yeah if your a vegy then you have to take pills for protein or eat chips that have 1g of protein and like 20g of fat..unhealthy."

Uh sounds to me like some child who just learned what the word vegetarian means, and that meats have proteins in them. That's one of the most uneducated things on vegetarianism I have heard in a while. I'm not a vegy myself, but there are LOTS of things that provide protien besides animals and animal products. Plenty of beans, nuts and grains, to start. You dont need to eat chips with a 20/1 ratio of fat to protein...Where the hell did you even get that idea?
