I don't pound on my chest and think that eating a steak somehow makes me a man - but I also know that the vegans and veggie hardcore people that I've met sure look like death warmed over. (Pale, limpid, often bone thin - a lot like distance runners or joggers... who many of them have been!)

I am not a pure vegan. I probably go between vegan and vegetarian. I very occasionally eat meat and otherwise - actually - I am pretty much a vegan.
I am 6' 1" tall and weigh 220+ pounds. Do I sound limpid and bone thin to you?

I realize many share your impression of vegans/strict vegetarians. But, like many notions, the reality is often different then the common perception.

I actually sometimes have a rather difficult time not gaining too much weight on my diet.
 
It is also a fact that Adam and Eve ate only vegetables and such in the garden of Eden - no meat!
Since when did Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden become "fact" ? :confused:

Most people eat meat cos it tastes so freaking good. Vegi food is ok one day a week, but nothing beats flesh.

Now that's the best reason I have heard yet.

If it tasted like crap, no one would eat it unless they had to.

But it can taste SO good.

I don't know. Roast rat and broiled snake don't taste all that good IMHO....

Besides, reheated C-rats will taste like crap... every single effing time. Trust me...

Meats are a great source of protein and fat, which we need to survive.

They're not the only source though. That being said, we do NOT need meat to survive. I eat meat because it tastes good, and it's the easiest way to get those essentials into your body. Eating a slab of beef sounds a heck of a lot better than eating a can of chick peas and an avocado.
 
We are omnivores, but we were designed by God to eat plants, hence our vegetarian anatomy.

Oh yeah? Well according to the book of Blargh, we were designed to exclusively eat meat, hence male nipples. I rest my case.
 
:sigh:

No, humans do NOT need meat to survive.

Want? In some cases, yes.

Need, not so much. SOME meat, but not meat every day.
 
^ more meat for me :nanner:

just had Church's tonite

I don't think you NEED to eat it, but I do know a few people who have failed at being vegetarians because they become too ill without meat.



However (slightly off topic) vegans are all a bunch of attention seeking drama queens who need to be tied down and fed live baby cows. :2 cents:
