I've been a meat-eater and a non-meat eater. I am the healthiest now than I ever have been - this applies to anybody that I know who doesn't eat meat.
Your cousin did not have to start eating meat, she chose to. |
I respect your opinion Norma, but I think not everyone can afford to turn vegetarian. I mean meat is way cheaper than eating healthy. I hope you do know that for some it is the only option.

You can eat vegan on the cheap.
Jesus fucking christ. In any case, I have always thought the worst thing about being vegan was the connotations it casts on a person, which is the fault of a certain percentage of other vegans being annoying, strident, walking caricatures. |
I'm a poor student - I afford it.

She only chose to eat meat because she's pregnant and was told by her doctor that her body required it. Have you ever gotten pregnant on a vegetarian diet? Becuase healthy in the everyday sense is actually different from healthy in the "with child" sense.

Vegetarians are often healthier because they have made a conscious choice about their diet and so put more thought into it. And it very often goes alongside a healthy lifestyle.
I don't think that eating meat is less healthy per se. |
I have known many people who were raised by vegetarians and turned out perfectly healthy or are vegetarians/vegans themselves and have raised healthy children. It requires research and effort is all.
In any case, I advocate compulsory sterilization for all humans anyway, so it's all academic to me. |

That's probably the case. And since she has no ideological ties, I can see her opting for meat instead of popping vitamins. But the question is, if wanted, can a person get enough iron from vegetarian dishes without vitamins?
|
I think meat eating is more natural because there are so many things which occur in meat and fish which vegetarians have to find substitutes for.

Yes - If you eat the right food. But that aplies to any diet. Though vitamins help whether you eat meat or not. People who eat meat shouldn't just rely on meat for a stable diet. |
I personally don't understand the whole "evolved past cruelty/meat" explanation many vegetarians provide. I have a problem with the ideology over the action, to be specific. Eating vegetarian dishes because you don't like the taste of meat, for example, makes perfect sense to me.

How about the environmentally wasteful argument?
Rock solid. |

I hope you're joking about this. The raising of meat livestock is incredibly inefficient and wasteful when compared to vegetables and grains. Not to mention the methane gas issue, which I believe contributes even more to the greenhouse effect than CO2 emissions from human activity. |
