that video is right. you eat more plants you live longer. thats only if you eat raw plants. but most vegetarians dont do that. they eat bread and refined carbs and think theyre healthy shit. when you go to mc donalds and order a meal, the most calories and sugar doesnt come from the burger. it comes from the burger bun, large fries, and the coke on the side. which all comes from refined plants.

you can say the same about meat by saying how its fried in batter (which is made from refined plants) which makes it unhealthy. its not the what kind of food you eat, its the way its prepared and cooked.

oh yeah and the guy mentions that the over production of meat AND JUNK FOOD. does junk food have any meat in it? usually not, its usually got tones of grains, sugar, chemical additives, etc. its not the meat that makes people fat, its the refined carbs they eat it with or cook it with.

this thread made me want to go eat a steak

personally i could not survive without meat. meat is my way of fueling my active lifestyle. i try to intake about 200g of protein a day, and that would be next to impossible without eating meat

Woah, ease up there. I don't see anything wrong with his post. Just because you don't like tofu that doesn't mean that other people don't. I like tofu.

for those who are vegetarians because they are concerned about the over production of meat... you should know that our overproduction of vegetables and use of chemical fertilizers has a much worse effect on the environment, and if we keep it up all of our soil will be useless in 10-20 years

veggies and fish only. it's just way easier for me to eat healthily if i just don't allow myself to consider eating a cheeseburger or fried chicken.

i'm in the middle of training camp for football so i'm trying to keep my weight up



my main sources of protein are egg whites, cottage cheese, yogurt, chicken breasts, almonds/walnuts (or any other kind of nut), corn and bean salad. i'll eat 5-6 small meals a day to keep my metabolism working on overdrive.

yea you're supposed to have a gram of protein per pound of body weight when you're training, so if you weight 150 lbs you should eat 150 grams per day.

I was a vegetarian for about 2 hours when I was like 14 or 15. Didn't like it one bit and went to Wendy's shortly after.

this thread and many others about vegetarians previously showcases how ignorant and dumb humans are, especially teenagers and little kids on this website.

You are right, red meat is not bad for you, at least in moderation. The problem is the amount of meat that Americans eat is WAY more then we should, and also that the actual red meat we eat is not the same red meat that our ancestors have been eating for tens of thousands of years. Read into how the vast majority of American meat is grown. It is flat out disgusting, and the quality of meat reflects that. Almost all cows are grown in closed feed lots, and cows are fed a diet that is mostly corn. This is not what cows are evolved to do. Long story short, they don't exercise, they eat the wrong foods, and the meat we eat is a product of it. It is high in saturated fat, high in toxins, and some practices are seriously disgusting. Don't get me wrong, I love meat, but feed lot beef is disgusting

You can say the exact same for fruits and vegetables. Some of the chemicals they pump into the ground and plants could kill you instantly. And dont give me that you can buy organic bullshit. Not everyone does that and i can just say you can buy organic meat from a local butcher. And like i said, the vast majority of foods isnt meat, its carbs coming from fruits and vegetables. Its not the burger patty thats making people fat, its the high sugary bun and condiments.

i'm not sure the bun is the problem here.  red meat can be good, but if you're going to use the example of burgers you pretty much would have to go through the trouble of making one yourself using extra lean beef.  any restaurant burger patty is going to be loaded with fat and other shit

i sponsor every vegetarian i've ever met, because i like meat.

i'm not against vegetarians because by them not eating animals it means i get to sponsor them and eat three more animals, preferable something exotic or endangered.

I disagree. I think the amount of meat that we eat in this country and the chemical makeup of the meat plays a large role into obesity and other large health risks. The basic problem boils down to the following: food in the US is over-processed and has far too many unnatural compounds. Meat is no exception. The bun is not making people fat, its the combination of the huge quantities of high fructose corn syrup, the disgusting way feedlot meat is grown and processed, and the overall lack of cheap, fresh foods.
