But now we cannot stand the thought of slaughterhouses. Of course, this is false. Meat eaters often say that they need meat because of its protein. It is true that we need protein, BUT many non-meat foods such as cheese, lentils and peanuts have much more protein per ounce than a hamburger, pork or steak. Almost every food contains protein.
Meat is actually only a mediocre source of protein at best.
To top it all off, we are under the false impression that we need a lot of protein. It's a fact that the average American has too much protein in their diet, nearly 8 times what is needed. We can easily and more effectively have a healthy protein intake by adopting a vegetarian diet because the protein in vegetables, seeds nuts and grains are easier for out body to assimilate than meat protein and they don't come with any of the toxins which invade our liver causing horrible disease. Although these drugs will still be present in the meat you eat, the law does not require that they be listed on the package. Meat as well as eggs contain large amounts of cholesterol, and saturated fat, which morbidly increase your chances of a life of numerous heart attacks.
