Vegans and Vegetarians…why do you claim that Vegan and Vegetarian diets are the only way to eat healthy?

Ask:

So maybe there is proof that red meat and milk may be slightly ‘bad’ for you, but there is also proof that both have many benefits, insofar as human health, as well. Why is it that you can only find the proof that meat/milk are bad, but not the proof they they are good, too? Why can you only find the proof that that soy is good for you, but not that it has MAJOR jhealth risks associated with it? Didn’t you know that soy can cause brain damage and that, when fed to small boys, can act similar to hormone therapy due to the similarities between soy and estrogen? If you want to claim health reasons, then PLEASE do all of your research. Otherwise, you look like an idiot to the more well-informed people of the world.

I’m not telling you to change your dietary choices, just to realise that others may have information that makes them want to eat a more balanced diet that includes meat and dairy products. No one food is perfect. That’s why variety is the key.

I never said anyone should eat tons of meat or to eat so much saturated fat that it’s like eating a tub of Crisco. I’m saying that balencing your food choices is a good thing. Remember, eating an ounce of meat per day is still eating meat.

Also remember, I’m not advocating pumping meat full of chemicals and hormones any more than a Vegan would advocate coating their food in pesticides and eating it without washing it, at the very least. I never said, ‘We need to eat more chemicals’.

I know that soy is only one food popular with Vegans and Vegetarians. What I’m saying is that they tend to use only a few reports and ignore the rest. Read them ALL, then decide.

I know, some eat the way they do, not for health reasons, but for animal rights (the cruelty of the slaughterhouses). Some even assume that all I eat is McD’s burgers (blegh-no, just because I eat meat does not mean I eat at McD’s).

Mind you, my favorite meat to eat is venison…from wild deer, not farm animals. I’ll give them the quickest, most painless death I can…which is much better than prolonging their pain and is much better than the ultra-fatty meat sold in stores from farm-raised animals.

I don’t assume to know what each individual Vegan or Vegetarian puts on their plate every night. Don’t assume that I eat all my meals at McD’s. it only leaves you with a flawed arguement.

I asked why many of you think your diet is the ONLY way to eat healthy? Continue reading Vegans and Vegetarians…why do you claim that Vegan and Vegetarian diets are the only way to eat healthy?
