Vegetarinism

Ok then... "but biased because they are SELLING accessories for cooking with soy" That is not the only site there is for why soy is good. There are woman's health sites, like (gardenandhearth.com/Womens-Health-Beauty/Benefits-of-Soy.htm) and even educational magazine sites like (http://www.usc.edu...). There is tons of proteins of vegatables. If you go to (http://www.weightlossforall.com...)there is a chart for how much protein there is in vegetables. "You also said nothing about pesticides" Vegetables get washed before being sold. PESTICIDES Common belief: U.S. Department of Agriculture protects our health through meat inspection Reality: fewer than 1 out of every 250,000 slaughtered animals is tested for toxic chemical residues Percentage of U.S. mother's milk containing significant levels of DDT: 99 Percentage of U.S. vegetarian mother's milk containing significant levels of DDT: 8 Contamination of breast milk, due to chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides in animal products, found in meat-eating mothers vs. non-meat eating mothers: 35 times higher Amount of Dieldrin ingested by the average breast-fed American infant: 9 times the permissible level Many animals get pesticides in them from eating plants. People think that all of the animals get tested when usually only a small amount of them do. And if you want to know about meat vs. vegetables go to http://www.vegsource.com.... It tells you about why vegetarianism is good. But I'm not saying that only vegetarianism is good. Eating meat can be good too. It just depends on how you feel. "I stated that most vegetarians are basing they're biased against eating animal's because of random horror video's they've seen. Exibit A, at the end of Smarticles retort to me" Some vegetarians are vegetarians because of the slaughter house videos, yes. But others are because they care about their own health. CHOLESTEROL Number of U.S. medical schools: 125 Number requiring a course in nutrition: 30 Nutrition training received by average U.S. physician during four years in medical school: 2.5 hours Most common cause of death in the U.S.: heart attack How frequently a heart attack kills in the U.S.: every 45 seconds Average U.S. man's risk of death from heart attack: 50 percent Risk of average U.S. man who eats no meat: 15 percent Risk of average U.S. man who eats no meat, dairy or eggs: 4 percent Amount you reduce risk of heart attack if you reduce consumption of meat, dairy and eggs by 10 percent: 9 percent Amount you reduce risk of heart attack if you reduce consumption by 50 percent: 45 percent Amount you reduce risk if you eliminate meat, dairy and eggs from your diet: 90 percent Average cholesterol level of people eating meat-centered-diet: 210 mg/dl Chance of dying from heart disease if you are male and your blood cholesterol level is 210 mg/dl: greater than 50 percent CANCER Increased risk of breast cancer for women who eat meat daily compared to less than once a week: 3.8 times For women who eat eggs daily compared to once a week: 2.8 times For women who eat butter and cheese 2-4 times a week: 3.25 times Increased risk of fatal ovarian cancer for women who eat eggs 3 or more times a week vs. less than once a week: 3 times Increased risk of fatal prostate cancer for men who consume meat, cheese, eggs and milk daily vs. sparingly or not at all: 3.6 times. AND FINALLY, PESTICIDES Common belief: U.S. Department of Agriculture protects our health through meat inspection Reality: fewer than 1 out of every 250,000 slaughtered animals is tested for toxic chemical residues Percentage of U.S. mother's milk containing significant levels of DDT: 99 Percentage of U.S. vegetarian mother's milk containing significant levels of DDT: 8 Contamination of breast milk, due to chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides in animal products, found in meat-eating mothers vs. non-meat eating mothers: 35 times higher Amount of Dieldrin ingested by the average breast-fed American infant: 9 times the permissible level SOURCES FROM: http://www.vegsource.com... "If there are obviously companies you feel are not treating they're animals correctly, why not do something about THAT, instead of asking me to stop eating meat" Me and my friends are going to find these companies and get big groups of people someday and do alot about it so animals are treated fairly. I already am doing stuff about it. My friends and I all feel that animals should be treated humanely and are thinking about how we can change this. "While your at the outback, looking down on me eating my steak, your doing nothing about what your upset about." I am not going to look down at any one eating steak or any kind of animal because everyone has the right to eat meat and they can if they want to I am not going to hate them or think they are weird because they eat meat. "So, as I said previously human being's are NOT naturally designed to not eat meat" They might not be naturally designed to not eat meat but human's aren't designed to not eat vegetables. There is a reason for everything and I don't think there would not be a reason for vegetables to be on Earth. "So it is NATURAL for us to eat meat?" It is natural for us to eat meat but it is also "natural" for us to eat vegetables and fruit. There is nothing wrong with eating these. "Every living thing on this earth, will eventually die. Why not use these animal's and prolong they're use in a positive way? Yes we can use animals in a positive way, but we can do that without doing it inhumanely.
