Because protein/meat is necessary for the human body. Humans are not herbivores or carnivores, they are omnivore and our bodies prove that everyday. There are 7 key or more vitamins in meat that you can not get from plants or beans or have to eat multiple servings just to ad up to the nutrients you can receive in one plate of meat. It's not good for the human body to consume more or less of one of the other, this is why God divided up the nutrients in plants and meat in order to get us to have balanced, healthy diet..(even though a lot of us still don't healthy).

So being vegetarian or vegan at first is good, you feel more energy than you ever had before cause the body is detoxing and getting rid of chemicals in meat, high fat. That's why a lot of vegans and vegetarians feel so amazing and energized during their first couple weeks of a vegan or vegetarian diet. But that slowly starts to fade as time progresses, eventually they start to feel weak, tired, confused, getting easily cold, some of them start have that gaunt look and the darkness under their eyes start really pop out cause the color of their skin is starting to have that very pale/dead look.
This is the bodies way of saying "I'm starving and if you don't include some meat soon, im going to start eating the closet thing that is meat.. aka your organs". And the body will do that once it's consumed all body's store away fat. A lot of vegans and vegetarians have to resort to taking vitamins and b12 shots, that are synthetic and not authentic which could be found in meat. I've seen some shocking videos of some vegans and it's dreadful, it would make you believe that these people are modern day holocaust victims. it's terrible especially when children are involved cause it's important that kids eat meat at time of development. I have nothing against vegans or vegetarians, but i personally believe it is not meant to be a lifelong diet, but just good for detoxing the body and losing unnecessary weight. I'm probably gonna get some hate for it but if you don't believe me.. check out some these videos.

I eat a very clean vegan/plant based diet. I don't care what other people eat but I agree with this right here...
"Here is how I look at it. Have humans always been 100% vegan? No. There is concrete evidence of us hunting animals in our past for survival, and yes we CAN eat animals but that doesn't mean we should. I see it like this. If EVERYONE hunted their meat it would be a much much much different world. First of all back in our evolution our diet was still 95% plant based because it was very hard to get a successful kill of a deer, etc. Also that meat would never be good for more than a day or 2. The majority of our food was plant based and I think if ALL the factory farms, and other farms were shut down and everyone had to go out and kill their own meat it would be far different. We wouldn't be eating very much of it because its just too much work. The key here is that we DO NOT NEED to eat animals and the way that it is done in todays society is incredibly cruel. These animals had NO LIFE, NO FREEDOM, NOTHING, locked in cages their whole lives, for what? People are getting disease at astronomical rates because their diet is 90% animal foods with very little fruit, veg. So just because we CAN do something, doesn't make it the right thing to do. We are much much healthier eating a vegan diet, and we are saving millions of animals from a terrible life, along with the planet. And it would be an entirely different story if you had to actually go out and kill those animals yourself. You would probably be like F this im just going to grow potatoes."
Because vegetables and fruits taste like garbage.
Dead things are tasty.
Also, plant-based diets aren't optimal for humans, who are built primarily for meat consumption.
And I don't give a shit about animals, they are food, our battery farming is no different from wolves culling deer herds in the wild, it's just apex predation, but more efficient form of it.
Well the truth is unless you're taking a bunch of supplements, going fully vegan is likely going to be detrimental to your health, and you'll likely feel much weaker and have less energy as a whole. I'm rather physically active and need lots of calories and protein to function well - hence the need for meat in my diet

I like meat, and think it's a good staple to most meals. My parents used to get our meat from local farmers so that they knew the animal was raised well and treated well, but honestly I personally don't care how the animal was raised. Animals are here to be eaten, especially the ones we've bred for meat. I eat a ton of fruits and vegetables anyways and eat meat mostly only at dinner time and maybe a little for lunch. Anyways I know where meat comes from and I'm okay with it. I am willing to kill and butcher the animal myself, so I don't have any of the guilt complexes that might drive someone to become vegetarian, nor do I think vegetarianism is healthier.
Tried it and spent much more money on vegan processed foods which were just junk food. I heard girls losing their periods on it and some other horror stories. For guys who do vegan, they look effeminate looking. It turns out I was vegan because of some Netflix propaganda documentary which is really stupid of me but I was in high school. The celebrities like Arnold Schrawgennar who said they became a vegan but all their life ate meat, really hypocritical, Arnold would have never gotten that type of body without animal protein. This veganism is just a propaganda thing nothing to do with health. I'm doing keto now and my skin cleared up and I'm feeling really good, been doing it for more than a year. I really like meat so yah.
I am vegaterian because that switch was pretty easy to make while living with my parents.
Mostly we eat potatoes, with some kind of vegatable and a piece of meat. It's easy to cut out the meat. And I wasn't a big meat eater from the beginning.
(The only thing is I cheat on sushi, but I only eat sushi like once a year)
But vegan is a lot harder because a lot of products contain eggs, milk or gelatin. In the Netherlands we eat a lot of bread, and bread contains milk and eggs. So it is harder to cut out.
For now I've decided to avoid other animal products as much as possible and maybe when I'm on my own (my own house, my own groceries) I can switch to vegan.For vegetarian, my potato garden and foraging won’t sustain a mostly plant based diet. It’s mostly meat because that’s most of what I have and can get.
For vegan, same as before and I’m sure as shit not withering myself away into a low energy mess, especially when winter hits. Fuck that.I could easily be a vegetarian but I still eat meat every once in awhile but I usually dont. But I don't feel like i am one. And as for being a vegan, It probably would make me relapse into my ed because of how many restrictions.
Plus I'd hate to give up on cheese, greek yogurt, things that have eggs in them etc. I know there's substitutes but I like the real thing or how it orginally tastes.I went without meat on a couple occasions during the lockdown. I had frozen meat but couldn’t be fucked to defrost it haha. I was fine, I think I dumped a bunch of chickpeas in my salad instead of the usual chicken. I guess I just feel like I missed something, nutritionally, if I don’t eat meat on a given day, like on an instinctual level.
Well, partly because it is inconvenient. I have cut down on my meat intake a lot since 3 or so years ago. But I can’t say no to meat completely because most people around me aren’t vegan/vegetarian. If I hang out with my friend and they order pizza take away and I’m hungry, am I supposed to just say no and not eat? Or when I visit mum and she makes dinner, do I just refuse it? It’s just inconvenient.
cus the most successful animal species on the planet.. cows pigs chickens owe it all to the fact they are in our food chain..
more specific reasons.. BEEF TENDERLOIN.. hamburgers.. hot dogs.. fried chicken wings legs breatss (col sanders) BACON.. PORK RIBS... BBQ.. so everyone wins.. chicken cow pigs.. and i eat.. win win!- u
I like meat. While I do like vegetables a lot, I imagine I'd just get bored of them eventually. Bored of food.. Funny but still.
because i'm not convinced that this is "long term" good for me. i agree that it would be morally better and safe the environment. but when it comes to my health, i'm selfish.
i mean i eat way less meat than the average omnivore but i won't take it off my diet, unless you show me a representative long term cohort study that can convince me that there is no negative impact.I was for 3 years, for the sole reason that I disapprove of the meat industry and chose not to support it by eating meat. Then I moved in with my fiance and since she cooks, she decided it's too bad she's cooking meat and whether I like it or not :( I've tried to convince her to be vegetarian and she's agreed a few times but never committed. And I wasn't vegan because I don't believe things like honey and bee farming are bad.
I find it more difficult to get my protein intake without meats or specifically eggs.
Plus I just like the taste and I don't specifically feel guilty about eating animals because that's how nature works. There's a good chain and and we as an omnivorous species est both plants and animals for nutrition.been veggie for nearly 40 years... nice to see someone asking why others aren't veggie rather than asking me why i am
Meat is delicious. I also came across an article the other day saying something along the lines of proteins provided by meat affects the aging body differently (better) than protein obtained through plants. I have the article saved to read later, but I don't know, maybe it has some merit to it.
I am trying to cut out red meat, since that is the worst for the planet and your body. But i love chicken and cheese too much. And whipped cream, and just butter. So by cutting out red meat i created a compromise between my love of food and my moral compass
My main reason is that chicken is cheaper than chia seeds
1. 95% of vegan or vegetarian food I can't stand the taste of;
2. Eating cooked meat helped raise the Australopithecus species to the Homo species;
3. Cooked meat helps the development and functions of the Human brain;
4. Tastes a whole lot better.Because I know it is a Bullshit fad, and I LOVE a FCKING AMAZING STEAK!!
WHY should I be a vegan? I think it is just another way that some try to control people. Seems most are VERY liberal Dumb-o-crats!!!I am not a vegetarian because I raise meat and meat tastes to good to give it up. There are a lot of environmental benefits to raising animals that provide us with meat. Such as grazing animals can take useless land and plant materials and turn it in to a highly digestible protein source.
As much as I love animals and would rather not eat them, it's difficult to keep that type of diet. Not only it's expensive but it's also hard to find places that sell qualtity vegetarian/vegan food.
