Um, vegetarians...where to begin?
Vegetarians have a great basic point. Humans are not designed to eat as much meat as the average person does.
According to the American Dietetic Association, meat-eaters have an increased risk of heart disease, colon cancer, obesity, adult-onset diabetes, gout, osteoporosis, kidney stones, gallstones, diverticular disease, lung cancer and breast cancer.
Strict vegetarians, however, despite their claims that a vegan diet increases energy and stamina, seem to often suffer from an illness that has been termed chronic fatigue syndrome. At least half of those that I have ever known have problems that disrupt their daily lives because of this "illness". Savage Clone seems to have no problem as evidenced in his post, but so many people that I know (in real life) do. Does anyone remember the SNL news story about Vegetarians in the fictional "So Very Weak" magazine? haha
It all depends on your body's chemistry & metabolism I suppose.
I have also noticed that people that I know that simply do not eat right & eat lots of processed or junk food suffer from the same ailment.
Have some fish. Enjoy meat every now & then. Your body needs some robust mitochondria doing their thing at the cellular level! Oh, but my body can't process meat, they say. Well, you have damaged yourself then by going overboard. There is most certainly such thing as too much of a good thing.
Although humans are truly more herbivorous than carnivorous, it is an established scientific fact that we have eyes on either side of our head for stereoscopic vision for the purpose of making tools & hunting & killing prey.
It's never all or nothing...no single issue is ever completely black or white...yet another cliche, but that particular truism happens to be the truth.
