Why meat eating should be avoided?!
Question: It is not needed.
All the protiens, iron, carbohydrates which meat has is available in plenty in vegetarian food.
Meat doesnt have vitamins and hence one cant depend on it.
Meat becomes bad sooner than vegetarian food.
Human body is not designed to digest meat.
Our canine teeth is not for killing or tearing flesh, as it is not developed as a tiger's canine.
We dont kill plants to get the veg. food. We only take their produce as we take milk from the cow.

Vegetarians who know and understand what they are doing and know how to get sufficient complete protein and other nutrients from their vegetarian diet are usually healthier than meat eaters.
... wrong.
We are animals, therefore we hunt and kill. Why are you trying to act like man is something we are not? Face it, humans have been eating meat since we evolved and we will always continue to eat meat. It's the circle of life.
Did it ever occur to you that rants were against the Y!A rules?
animals are put on the earth for us to eat,,,,yum yum yum....Get a life.
Meat does contain vitamins, can be cured hence it won't go bad quickly, and we are natural omnivores. Do some more research, because your question contains flaws which undermine what could be a valid argument :))))))
don't try an force that crap on anyone, that would be like trying to convince everyone that reads this statement that you are not a moron, he's probably from from some other country and his mother is a cow
"Human body is not designed to digest meat"
What?! Humans are animals just as well, and carnivors at that. We used to survive MAINLY on meat, with fruits and such here and there. And yes, tearing meat is EXACTLY what K9s are for. If you want to be a vegan, that's totally cool, but don't go ranting on about what you obviously know such little about. We're hunters and meat-eaters by nature, get over it.
You're way off, man.
Wrong. We take the plants life. Everything we eat, was once living. There is nothing that we digest that has not had a life before. Our teeth and bodies are indeed made for meat, our bodies digest it quite well. Actually, our bodies and teeth are more carnivoric by nature than herbivoric.
Vegetarians seem to lack the fundamental ability to understand what 'asking a question' is all about. So what about using animals for their milk, eggs, etc? (question) Is that humane? (question) No, but they're animals. (Fact) and of course when we dig up a potato, we don't kill it (statement) do we? (question) and meat has no nutritional value whatsoever (falsehood) does it? (question) What about fish?And we have teeth designed for both plants AND meat! You see Answers is great! You learn so much on here.
Sorry, What was the question? (question)
This is not a Q ..it's a rant..I am like all other humans.. an omnivore..I mostly hunt and kill for what I eat but treat the animal with respect and dispatch them quickly and humanely..I take no pleasure in killing 4 killing's sake.
i'm bored of you.....gonna go get a juicy burger yum yum
if you could see all the antibiotics and pesticides that cattle are exposed to plus the traumatic way they are killed... then you will understand the reason that meat is not the best of foods to eat!....check out slaughter houses on youtube!!!...oh and by the way...we are NOT"carnivores"...as we do not kill our meat...we are carrion eaters as we eat the old dead meat killed by others!!!
Not eating meat is a choice, eating meat is an instinct.
Get over it! We have apposable thumbs, that is why we have invented tools for cutting the meat into small chunks to help us to eat it.
Go back and revise your argument and get your facts right I do not eat meat and you give the rest of us a bad name this is not a question just a rant
What you say may very well be true. Problem is most people, especially here in Northern Europe, like eating meat, especialy Beef, Pork and Lamb.
Let's look at the Beef and Lamb issue here in UK. Most of this comes from Wales where the land is quite unfit for any other purpose, being high and mountainous. The kind of cattle the Welsh have, thrive there, so too do the sheep, mostly a variety called the Welsh Black - which is actually dark brown in colour but looks black from a distance.
Humans have eaten meat for many thousands of years. The oldest surviving human remains found here in UK date from before the last ice-age to about 35 - 40 thousand years ago. These people ate a high protein diet of meat and as a result were very tall, in the 6-feet plus size - powerful.
People may live on a vegetable diet if they wish, but it will shorten their lives by as much as ten years. India has the world's largest vegetarian [Hindu] culture but life expectancy is about 60 years compared to our 75+.
Some scientists believe that early humans developed large brains due to their high meat diet. This of course does not mean that folk who only eat vegetables will eventually end up with small brains. No, on the contrary, they might actually end up as highly intelligent as the people of India; the Hindu vegetarians.
In my view it is a simple case of each to his/her own. It's a free country. I expect the debate to continue. Convince me? I am a child of the Blitz and ate only small portions of meat in my childhood and youth - I still only eat small amounts of meat but consume large amounts of fish, usually of the canned type - sardines, tuna, pilchards, salmon etc.
There is nine times more protein on an acre of beach than there is on an acre of land.
There is 20 times more vitamin C in rose hips than in oranges.
I lived at the coast as a child. We ate food from the sea. It was plentiful and free when we used our own rods and lines casting from the beach. Cod caught in this traditional manner by rod and line do not deplete the stock and usually result in a 2 to 2.5 feet long fish being caught. Massive.
Most of the above is either inaccurate or completely wrong and I won't dignify any of it with an answer.
I particularly liked:
"We dont kill plants to get the veg. food. We only take their produce as we take milk from the cow"
So the last carrot, or parsnip or swede (to name but a few) that was dug up for food actually survived???
I have no problem with people being vegetarian but honestly...
"All the protiens, iron, carbohydrates which meat has is available in plenty in vegetarian food."
Completely and utterly true, but just because it is available from another source, doesn't mean we have to take it from there. I am perfectly able to accept the fact that an animal has died to feed me and in a situation where I was starving, I would be perfectly able to kill one and butcher it to eat. I think all those who eat meat should be able to do that, or at least look their food in the face and understand what it is, if not, go veggie.
"Meat doesnt have vitamins and hence one cant depend on it."
Meat has a huge amount of vitamins, normally whatever the animal has ingested.
"Meat becomes bad sooner than vegetarian food."
The natural bacteria in the animal's meat causes this, plants continue to live for a while before you eat them, should they feel pain they would suffer the long, agonising death of thirst and starvation. Even in your fridge, they are on the verge of life, meat is thoroughly dead.
"Human body is not designed to digest meat." OH RLY?
Completely wrong in fact, the human body is designed with a hugely complex enzyme system in which it breaks down the meat protein much more efficiently than it does from the vegetarian varieties of food. We are able to digest raw meat just as well as cooked too, the only threat being the bacteria.
"Our canine teeth is not for killing or tearing flesh, as it is not developed as a tiger's canine."
A tiger is a hunter, we are scavengers, and believe me, our canines are more than sufficient to tear flesh. They can tear through aluminium cans as I have proven many times, they are some of the most useful tools. If we didn't eat meat we wouldn't have them at all, we would have large flat molars which would have enabled us to eat a larger variety of vegetable with more efficiency.
"We dont kill plants to get the veg. food. We only take their produce as we take milk from the cow."
No, infact we do kill plants, but because they can't act at the same speed we do and seem to show no concious thought, we don't count it as killing. And cow's milk isn't made for us. It's made for the ******* baby cow. It's not made to sustain a human and we aren't designed for the milk of other animals, most of the population is lactose intolerant to some degree, myself included.
Human mouths are those designed for omnivores, we have developed canines for rending flesh but not for hunting it. We were scavangers before we could hunt. In prehistoric times, we didn't farm, we didn't have the same access to either meat or vegetables.
We live on carbohydrates as a source of energy now, coming from plants and grains which we could never have gotten back then, foraging didn't give much in the way of results.
(By the way, if you are going to rant, at least do so with a decent knowledge of the English language. Try using the correct punctuation, capitalisation and maybe even good spelling.)
