Do you think that vegetarianism is a good way of life or 'right'?
Discuss ^^

Well it's a Fact That Our diet play a central role in Our physical and mental health. I think vegetarianism is extreme. I Have to Eat Some meat , although , I agree That meat intake should be moderate. Fish, turkey , chicken is Probably Better the types of meat to eat. The downside to Being a vegetarian Is That you'll be hungry all day .

To each their own, but no, I'd never be a veggie - I like blood too much.

I'm also an "that's the person business and no one else" kind of person.

Right or wrong in this case, I think it depends on what you do to keep your body in balance. I believe by nature we are omnivorous, so we are able to eat both meat and vegetables. Many people takes this as the whole reason to reject vegetarianism. Though I think that being capable is not a synonym to be all right to do it.

Some vegetarians still make sure to get the proteins, carbohydrates, etc their body needs from organic sources, some of them have found this to make them feel better while some others just can't really finish switching, for health reasons.

I just see it as a possible choice, more than something to judge, it is neutral to me.

If you have the conviction it is something you want and it works for you that's great. Go for it. If you like having meat with your dishes go ahead. I personally feel some chicken or fish during the week helps.

I am concerned about rations and balancing the pyramid than rejecting meat altogether, because I believe i can have a healthy life without giving up meat. It has work for me so far.

I went vegetarian last week. Don't like it? Deal with it.

I find it rather funny that some of you think that "we are supossed to eat meat" or that we are omnivorous, when we are not.
Not to my "logic".
Tell me, if you are meant to eat meat, why don't you eat it raw, like the other animals?
Why does men have to cook it before he can eat it? Because (I find) it's unnatural.
I think that we were meant to be veggies since past times, but (maybe) we err the road somewhere... I don't know, that is somewhat my opinion towards this topic.
Please, excuse my bad english.

That is a great point!

I guess it may be unnatural to cook the meat, but so is that we boil water, wash our fruits, and other habits that - while they are not shared with other animals they - are important for the preservation of our health, I may be wrong, but I always related cooking meat to killing all the bacteria in it. I am in the understanding people like different types of cook, including one that is so raw that still spurs blood with some pressure.

in the other hand I think meat also last longer when cooked which could be one of the reasons (aside perhaps the flavour) to pass the meat through fire.

Still, you could be onto something, maybe our stomach simply cannot process raw beef on a regular bases. Maybe we are up to eat what we can catch with pour hands: bunnies, fish, etc... maybe following your line of thought, we went wrong when we started hunting big beast thanks to our home-made weapons, while we were still in caves.

However we got canine teeth, they are not part of vegetable-eating animals. So I believe we do have omnivore traits. I'll just say again what I previously stated: being capable of eating meat is different to saying we should do it.

Simply put,

But I do believe that the person has the right to choose. I also think that vegetarianism is a bit extreme. I personally couldn't handle it. I like meat.
You've got some good points Aru & Kaynil.

Personally, not a vegetarian, but I think its a healthier way to live life yes, at least, if you wish to loose weight.

You do realize that we changed a lot (evolution for the win!) and a lot of things we used to do we can't do anymore (and possibly explains why we have extra organs and even wisdom teeth). We as a species have changed in many respects, same with other species. I kind of do agree that perhaps we ate one specific type of food but as the evolution of humans moved on, we changed.

Actually there is a documentary that is about kind of the same subject but not entirely called: Fat Head. It does talk about something else entirely(as it really talks about the documentary Supersize Me mostly) but it does talk a bit about veggies etc; I suggest watching it anyways for the educational value it has.

Though I do wanna know if I'm only supposed to eat veggies and grass, why must I have sharp teeth at the front of my mouth?

There's no right nor wrong, in a person's way of living. I could very well be vegetarian or a meat eater, it shouldn't matter to anyone besides myself. Others shouldn't give a d**** about what I eat and don't eat.
