Do you guys restrain yourself from meat because you literally hate the taste of meat/fish? or do you only do it because you feel like a bunch of animals that reproduced for us to eat is wrong?

[Ewan]

Second one.

The primary reason I am a vegetarian is because 2 of the 5 tons of grain we produce are used to feed livestock. If nobody ate meat all 5 tons could be used to maximum efficiency allowing there to be 40% more food in the world and alot less suffering for the impoverished countries.

males eat meat ;P

but seriously, the development of our ancestors brain tissue was strongly influenced by meat so... I think that a good/balanced diet with meat is better than vegetarian diet.

[Optimus Skiver]

Meat and fruits are the chief components of the human diet. When Homo habilis took to making tools to get to the marrows and brains of abandoned corpses, the added fat in the diet totally boosted the brain's ability to develop and really kick started the selection of intelligence that has lead to you humans today. People say the wheel was the greatest invention, others the printing press, but I say it was the shaped rock. :3

In modern times, people can live just as healthily as vegans and vegetarians if they supplement correctly, either through natural or artificial means. There's nothing wrong with the lifestyle, but the elitism really sucks out of a minority of vegans. :/

[Roko]

I like my vegetables :D. Thanks for the post dude

[Ewan]

Ouch. Just read that properly, I guess I am a bad veggie.

Is anemia commonly caused by an unhealthy vegetarian diet? My girlfriend is vegetarian and anemic.

[Martin(Marcin)]

yes, but there are other variables that cause this like genes or being a pre-term baby.
