Vegetarians
danny_galaga:
you go for it peale! id be a vegetarian if i wasnt so lazy! every time i pass a cattle truck i almost want to become one but the dark side becons! historically people didnt eat much meat anyway, so being a vegetarian is only a small step from that. now being a VEGAN would kill me, thats for sure!
paigeoliver:
Most vegetarians I have known have been 17-22 year old girls who were mostly candy and donut vegetarians. Not eating meat, but not really eating vegetables either. Most of them grow out of that phase, or give it up after they start gaining weight.

So this is about morality rather than diet? Kudos to you if you can pull it off, because that's a heck of a lot of things in modern life you are giving up. :o

You know those big teeth at the back of our mouths??
This says to me that meat is an important part of out diets.

Ive been a vegitarian since I was 4 yrs old and I'm quite healthy. You can eat unhealthy foods wether your a veggie or a meat eater. Thats why theres fat vgetarians as well as meat people. And theres veggie stuff with the exact proteins as meat like beans have about the same as a steak. Plus you can buy veggie stuff now that tastes like meat. As far as humans being "designed to eat meat" We have a longer digestive system so we are better able to get the nutrients from our foods as opposed to the shorter tract that carnivores have to enable them to pass the meat through their body before it becomes rancid (intestinal cancer). The enzymes in our saliva that start breaking down the food in our mouths and the early part of our digestive tract are of a low acidity level in a carnivore the acid level is about 20 times higher. Not saying Become A Vegitarian!! just defending Peales desision to do so.
