The human digestion tract is not built to digest animal protein constantly.  More people should go vegetarian.  Not only is it better for the environment, it is better for your health.  It takes much less toll on the land to grow plants than it takes to have a pasture of cattle.  Your risks for so many diseases are drastically reduced if you include primarily vegetarian protein sources (heart disease, certain cancers).  Hunting should only be done if it is a necessity to survive.  This should not be done simply for sport.  There are so many alternatives to leather and fur these days that are fashionable and less costly and less barbaric than wearing dead animal skins.

Yes, we can obtain protein and even vitamin B12 from plant produce such as beans and soya products. The original diet was fruits and after the fall God instructed man that the herbs of the field would be meat for him to eat. It was not until after the Noah's flood that you had meat eating. Thou shalt not kill (murder) i believe also goes for the animals too which we should take care of.

Meat is a major source of essential nutrients, including: protein, Zinc and Vitamin B12.  Note, vegetarians often have low intakes of Zinc and B12 because they avoid meat.\n\nBest wishes.

You should take a multi vitamin and try to find protein from an alternative source.Tofu,while not exactly fruit,is good for protein.Nuts and seeds are another source.You're also forgetting fruit has natural sugars in it and consuming mass amounts of even unrefined sugar can throw a person's system off.There is also such a thing as good cholesterol, which is very important for your heart.I'm sure you could live on fruit, but it honestly would not be practical,or healthy.As for God's intent,if He didn't want us to eat meat,He wouldn't have made us with the enzymes to digest it and the proper teeth with which to chew it.

Fish has a higher content of iron, especially salmon, which isn't any more expensive than beef. There aren't any beneficial micronutrients that beef has to outwiegh the hormones and antibiotics you are also consuming. Best salmon is always 'wild caught'. \nIf you must eat red meat (cause I know I get those filet mingon cravings) once a week would probably not be too harmful, unless it was tainted with mad cow.\nSorry, didn't know you're a picky eater.

Good health in terms of a healthy body can be obtain with good nutrition. Unfortunately the food consumed today no longer have the nutrition it use to have. For the most part, food is processed and obtained at a local supermarket. Its not the same as the food back in our home lands. To acquire better health we must turn to supplementation. Nutritional supplements are the safe guards from degenerative diseases. \n\nVisit malaqui.usana.com for nutritional information.

Why wouldn't it be?\nUsing contemporary moral standards:\nSeems that most people have no moral qualms about eating animals.  Vegans and vegetarians are a very, very small minority.\nSaving a human life is generally agreed to be a high moral good.\nTherefore, killing a pig to take its heart valve and transplant it into a human being who otherwise would die, appears to have a higher moral good than killing a pig so that people can eat cheeseburgers with bacon.\n\nOf course, if one wants to use other assumptions the results would be different.  If one assumes that all life is equally precious, whether human or a pig, one would find killing the pig for either reason to be wrong.\n\nIn short, like most questions of morality, it depends on your starting assumptions.

I don't see any logic on that. \nMaybe it is ture,as you say, but it is not true. In certain diseases it is recommended to eat meat.\nLet me tell you also that your Q is very generic.\nFirst, we know that (almost)everything depends on quantity. Do you mean that eating big amounts of red meat will harm yourself?\nThis is true. Consider the pyramide of nutrition and you have prooved that.\nSecond, it depends on age, sex and nutritional requirements on the basis of our job. \nThird, we have to specify that meat quality depends on the quality of food that the animal eats.You can have low fat meat.\n\nFor further information, go to http://www.usda.gov click on the consumer's section and then click on food and nutrition.\nThere is a plan that can help you choose the foods and amounts that are right for you.\n\nI don't refer to any religious convinctions that prohibit meat consumption or the philosophy which states that life is unique so we can't eat similar species. \n\n\nKaterina

Being a vegetarian has it's pro's and con's.  Because you are not eating meat, you need to get the vitamins you will be lacking, so you have to take a multi-vitamin, and find another way to get your protein.  Many vegetarian's lack vitamin b-12 which is an important vitamin.  Also, many vegetarian's become carbaholics.  I think it's good to eat meat.  In moderation of course.

All animal meats will have cholesterol in them, and seafood has more than chicken and some other meats.  But it is a very lean meat with little saturated fat and transfatty acids, which lead to increase in blood cholesterol.  So if you don't have a problem with high blood cholesterol, there is no reason to avoid seafood.  If so, talk to your doctor.

You know the guy who invented the all meat diet died out of a heart stroke? Does the doctor look healthy at all. C'mon!\nFruits and vegetables are the easiest to assimilate for the body. It takes 1500 cubic cm of biliar salts to consume a single ounce of meat. \nPlease! change your doctors, go to a nutritionist and save yourself some years of life. Find out obout vegetarianism...
