I'm sick of these people who are ignorant of facts--the kind that diss vegetarians because we care about animals or the environment. These fools have bought into the lies and propoganda put out there by the douche bags running the meat industry--the same douche bags who happen to be some of the country's most powerful lobbyists. There was that bullshit ad campaign that they ran a while ago: "Beef, it's what's for dinner." Yeah, beef's for dinner, but colon cancer, arterial slerosis, high blood pressure, animal cruelty and a destroyed planet are your karmic desert.
to be fair its a lot easier to just keep eating meat than it is to give it up

Everyone knows a bread only diet is the only respectable avenue to take.
Ok. What about us who eat in a proportional meat to veggie balance? I feel true omnivores are left out of this discussion
The part about the health side effects assumes meat eaters all eat a grossly disproportionate amount of meat compared to what they should be. Ideally if one keeps meat to 15-20% of their diet (going by Australian research on the matter) it shouldn’t inflict any harm on their body.
I am trying to give up meat.No beef or pork, but chicken is too hard to resist.

If you repeat the same process with something like tofu it tastes excellent as well. There's nothing inherently good tasting about animal carcass.
For someone with a health condition like mine, eliminating meat would reduce my protein options to virtually zero. Not until they manage to create some edible food substance that contains the required levels of protein with minimal to no levels of carbs, starches, sugars etc. and make it commercially available.

Who would have thought?What're you trying to imitate Verbatim for? Everything you find good-tasting has a reason for tasting so good. If animals tasted like crap, there'd be no reason for traditional families' menus to be so reliant on meat. It's on the menu because it tastes good because it provides a lot of nutrients.
