Is it OK to be a vegetarian only because I want to see the demise of vegetabes?

I hope you realize that you will be increasing the demand causing farmers to plant more. If you really want to see their demise boycott veggies.

This is something that you shouldn't do all at once. I have been a vegetarian for 50 years so I know people can mess their health up doing it wrong. You need to know which foods make a complete protein when combined: beans and cornbread, peanut butter and bread, etc. If you don't drink milk, soymilk is o.k. Take a multivitamin that has B12 in it. Don't just start dropping foods from your diet, replace them with nutritious whole foods. Don't make this hard on your mom or whoever does the cooking in your house. Get some good recipies and learn to make them.  http://www.notmilk.com/veganrecipes.html

FACTS:\n1.Our teeth should be differently shaped in order to cut the meat.\n\n2.Our gastric acids would be as strong as the ones of a carnivore, to absorb all the nutrients.\n\n3.Our intestines wouldn’t be as long, since all great carnivores have it short in order to get rid of the toxins faster. (meat do decompose faster/worse than vegetables, its just that it have lots of preservatives and colorants). In the other hand, must animals with a vegetarian diet have long intestines in order to absorb all the nutrients, since their gastric acids are not as strong… you can see that there are some that even digest their meals more than once…\n\n4.Our nails would be sharper and stronger, if we were to be having meat as our main meal.\n\n5.… what does a bull have for meals?? Are they weak?? … eating a bull doesn’t transfer their strength…. or meat!!! (as I read above)\n\n6.By eating meat you are more likely to get ostheoporosis, since there are elements in the meat that make your bones wear out, by that i mean that people literally pee their calcium.\n\n7.You should tell those people that in the long term your decision is wiser… \na.Yeah, we are ALL of F..cked up with all the transgenic and lack of control over the conditions and place in which those seeds are planted.\nb.Yeah, earth is becoming less fertile worldwide (believe me, I’m not in USA)\nc.But an animal is not hurt in order for you to eat… I’ve seen reports on genetic modifications to improve the mass production in Israel, such as lack of feather, nails and beak.\nd.and in the other hand, you are not absorbing all the chemicals they get those animals to grow fast with.\ne.and you are not absorbing all the bugs they have inside, including mad caw, etc. (by the way the mad cow disease started over twenty years ago, or at least that is as far back as we can track cases… it started with stupid eager farmers feeding their animals with dead animals)\nf.and you are not absorbing all the chemicals/antibiotics to get those animals to survive with.\ng.And finally, just as we could all, in a future... go into a world crisis because the water is not potable anymore, the trees have all become transgenic thanks to good mother nature and pollinization, same.. or I’d say worst!!! Would be to be starving as all of us with the addition of a disease that has no way of being controlled because it has been chemically fortified by the alphabet of antibiotics and hormones that are in the meat.\n\nBonus:\n1.I grew up hearing that as little as seven almonds a day could give me the amount of protein I could get from the meat.\n\nAs long as you don't base your diet on your favorite vegetables only, you'll be just fine. Amino, anti oxidants (... is that the way to spell it?) ... I'd say there are too many extremist in both currents.. just respect, and make yourself be respected... it is a choice, a philosophy of life.\n\n2.Meat eaters tend to have more cholesterol and heart problems. Vegetarians live longer.\n\n3.Meat eaters should check on their diet just as much, even though must of them, don't care much and are not selective at all\n \n4.www.themeatrix.com\n\n5. yes it's harder to get the iron in a natural source. but you should have a good balance in your meals, have the honey for the royal queen bee, something great that comes from sugar cane we call "melaza", if neither of the last two, then folic acid and finally morning sun bath\n\nnot as long, and much easier to answer in my language, hope it served for something...

I am a vegetarian and have been for almost 5 years now.\n\nThe advantages of being one are:\n- vegetarian food is healthier, meat contains many bacteria and causes various kinds of diseases\n- vegetarian food is lighter, more easier to digest. Meat contains animals fats which are difficult to digest. I, personally, felt very heavy and sick after eating meat (before I became vegetarian).\n- morally, eating animals is wrong. They deserve to live and it is not right to kill them and, like you said, it is wrong and disgusting to "bury a piece of cadaver in our stomach".\n\nThese are my arguments and I agree with them one hundred percent. I know that since I became a vegetarian, I have been feeling great, I had no problems digesting food and I never felt so sick to my stomach as when I was eating meat.\n\nHope you make the right choice. ;)

Hello Hindustani!!\nEven I am an Indian (& a vegetarian)\n\n'Demand' is not the right word. I would 'beg' from Him. \n\nGod is Omnipotent---if He wanted everyone to be vegetarians then He wouldn't wait for someone to request  about it---all that is happening is according to His Divine Will\n\nWhat would I beg?\nIf I ask for anything worldly, I would have to leave all when i die\n\nI WOULD ASK GOD TO GATHER ME TO HIM---TO MERGE ME TO HIM---I ask God to give me God---when I have God, I have EVERYTHING!!!

Hi\nI tend to believe that being a TRUE vegetarian is not near as healthy as eating regular. We have a cousin that is a TRUE vegetarian and he just doesn't look healthy. He's pasty white and his eyes look like they are sunken in. I don't know, this is just my opinion and I have no clue aobut being a vegetarian because I'm a big healthy chubby girl who loves southern cooking. There are plenty of web sites and books that explain the pro's and con's of being a vegetarian. Speak to your Doctor and read up on it. Good Luck!

Vegetarian food only. Pythagoras belonged to a cult which was very strict and allowed only vegetarian food.

Not a vegetarian.  I guess my answer as to why I'm not a vegetarian is: why would I be one?  There are certain things that are harvested and sold as food products that I won't eat, but I still feel like animal meat is an essential part of the food chain.  One limit on food for me would be parts of the animal that are not technically muscle.  I won't eat things like hot dogs, which have all kinds of odds and ends in them.  Cow tongue is a muscle, but I wouldn't eat that either, unless I was starving.

I can't watch any more of that - it's making me sick. I don't agree with treating animals that way. However, I don't think that means we should not eat meat. It means that we should be treating the animals differently while they are alive and killing them in humane ways. The people that don't abide by that should be prosecuted. It's no different than someone who abuses their dog.

Definately a Vegetarian... since June [2006]\n\n\nYou people disgust me, and it's pretty annoying when you say you'd die without meat.

Change your lifestyle slowly. Opt for vegetarian foods. Once you remove meat completely out of your system, you wont miss it.

I’ve a vegetarian so I’ve eaten my share of tofu based products.  I have a rule though; it can’t try to be something it isn’t.  Last year a person brought a Tofurkey to Thanksgiving dinner and no animal alive would even dare touch it.
