12. I didn't say i ate meat exclusively..
it's called moderation. To completely give up meat because of "ethical" reasons or whatever other reason you can come up with is silly, and is counterintuitive to humans as mammals in an evolutionary sense. The protien requirement for our bodies is sufficiently high to make vegetarianism impractical for many people.


The most convincing argument for the prevalence of the ailments you mention above are due to the massive amounts of processed foods, carbohydrates in particular, in the civilized world. These sugars affect insulin response and subsequently will alter the amount of food stored, as well as creating a roller coaster of available energy to any particular individual. This is a well-known phenomenon. Think of all the things that vegetarians eat that are in no way healthy or natural, yet contain no meat and tell me that they are superior somehow to someone who eats meat regularly.



In other words, i think vegetarianism is stupid.
