thank you so much!!!!

Answer 1

Red meats tend to be high in saturated fats, which could have a negative imapct on heart health if eaten regularly.

People who consume a lot of animal protein may have less bone density. In addition to this, too much animal protein puts a strain on the kidneys.Processed meat such as sausages can be high in salt which, in sensitive individuals, can increase blood pressure.Plant sources of protein tend to be lower in fat and salt. Also, plant foods are devoid of dietary cholesterol.

&#039;&#039;It used to be claimed that people who didn&#039;t eat meat would be short of protein.But that is now known to be absolute nonsense. And it is equally untrue that if you don&#039;t eat meat your diet will be deficient in essential vitamins or minerals.

Meat contains absolutely nothing - no protein, vitamins or minerals - that your body cannot obtain perfectly happily from a vegetarian diet&#039;&#039;.

Answer 2

If they think that they are good so be it.  I think that my diet is good.

Answer 3

Pescetarians are not in the same catagory.  They are non-vegetarians.

Answer 4

Check out the book Skinny B*tch.  It goes into some pretty good detail as to why meat and dairy is unhealthy.

Answer 5

check out the peta website for some great resources.

One answer is that, even if animals are killed in a non-painful way, it is still humans deciding to end the life of a sentient creature simply because they like the taste.

Animal protein consumption is implicated in cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, etc. etc.

Factory farming is incredibly detrimental to the environment.

Finally, as long as we continue to eat animals we will view them as objects that are on the planet for our pleasure, as opposed to subjects that are on the planet for reasons entirely unrelated to us.
