That is the craziest thing I have ever heard. Meat is cheap. I can buy a pork loin for under $20 and feed myself for a week or longer. I can buy like 2 Lbs of ground beef and make spaghetti, burgers, etc or freeze what i dont need and feed myself for a week.
Want to go vegan you will find out very quickly anything vegan or vegetarian is expensive. Especially if you go for anything "organic". You are going to be shopping way more often for "fresh" ingredients. Getting all the vitamins you need to survive as a omnivorr is going to be a struggle. Getting the protein you need being a constant struggle as there is not a wide variety of sources of protein outside of meat. This also limits your meal options. I wouldn't want to be pill popping because I don't want to eat meat.
I understand people wanting to be healthier. But it is all about moderation. We are omnivores, eating meat is what makes us who we are.
Eating organic foods helps somewhat if you can prove their organic. Nearly all organic vegetables are still sprayed with pesticides making the choice to go organic on vegetables not even a healthier alternative. Organic meat is healtheir if their antibiotic etc. free but their not that much healthier unless they are free range. If their not free range, their living conditions taint their meat, alter their flavor, and so on. If we don't take care of ourselves our body suffers, and the same is true in animals.
The only way to be a true vegan / vegetarian is to grow and raise everything you eat yourself. Most are too lazy to do that.
I've been eating meat about once a week for the past 8 years. My body is perfectly fine with that. I know where I can get meat substitutes. As for the price, tvp, beans and lentils are way cheaper than meat and I know how to cook with them. People are not supposed to be omnivores, they are supposed to be frugavores, eating about 70% not meat.
Frugivores are animals who eat primarily fruit but are omnivores or herbivores. We would die as a frugivore. The highest protein fruit is guavas at almost 2 grams. The average person needs almost 60 grams of protein per day. You going to survive on 30 guavas a day. I couldn't even eat that many in a week. 1 cup of lentils is only 18 grams of protein. Are you able to eat over 3 cups of lentils a day for just protein, not including everything else you need. You need to eat a lot to stay healthy.
History shows 0 evidence that we consumed anything other than meat as a lrimary source of protein. We have been hunter gathers for millenniums and our teeth are designed for eating meat.
If i consumed only soylent meal substitutes the rest of my life I am sure I will feel perfectly fine. That doesn't however mean you are perfectly healthy or your choice has no negative consequences.
@Iron_Man I was just basically commenting on how you said eating vegetables all day will make you ok like a deflated skinny man. He eats them and he looks great.
@Oceanlust But how do you know if he’s new to the scene Or and all that muscle developed from eating meat 🥩 And of course with many years of weight training
Disrespecting people who (for the most of them) only mind their own business and refuse to cause death is honestly disgusting. Killers, rapists, abusers etc do not deserve respect.

I like the taste of pork and chicken, so i don't want to be a vegeterian.
It's same as asking a guy who like women: "Why aren't you gay"?
I actually had to stop being vegetarian because of some money issues, but I would love to get back into it.
Because I live at home and my parents buy meat. When I live alone will probably go vegetarian because meat is expensive.

Well then my teacher misinformed me on frugivores. Humans are still supposed to eat 70% not meat and 30% meat.
Because I love meat like turkey, beef and some forms of chicken 🦃🐄🐓😋
you love everything about turkey😉😏🤣🤣🤣
Because meat is good, cheese and other dairy products are good, and these things are tough to substitute with just veggie.
Because I really like the medium rare ass end of a cow on my plste, lightly seasoned with a baked potato and a nice salad
Because I like beef too much just to eat vegetables all day and look like a deflated skinny man is not my scene
Rob Bailey is vegan 🤷♀️
@Oceanlust and who is that?
Famous bodybuilder, not a deflated skinny man
@Iron_Man I was just basically commenting on how you said eating vegetables all day will make you ok like a deflated skinny man. He eats them and he looks great.
Look^ not ok
@Oceanlust But how do you know if he’s new to the scene Or and all that muscle developed from eating meat 🥩 And of course with many years of weight training
@oceanlust I know a lot about him. If you are ever curious just look him up. You may be surprised.
How much do you know about this guy?
Vegans and vegetarians dont have my respect, I'm sorry. It's just honesty
Disrespecting people who (for the most of them) only mind their own business and refuse to cause death is honestly disgusting. Killers, rapists, abusers etc do not deserve respect.
I'm sorry, but the reason of my lack of respect is just because I think it's bs.
Don't be mad, it's just one opinion.
I've been Veggie my whole life, trying to slowly go vegan though
A balance is needed to be healthy, not a pure meat diet or a pure veggie diet
To be honest, I just really do not like the taste of most vegetables or anything that is healthy. 😕
I eat as little meat as possible. I'm almost a vegetarian and I want to be 100% soon
Because i'm tired of the senseless slaughter of plants. PETP people for the ethical treatment of plants.
Plant based food cost more and I'm far to broke to buy them.
Because it's hard to think what to eat.
Meat is cheap and Meat has protein
I am and no regrets
y'all gotten open your minds, plant based is awesome
Indeed. These answers are so small minded (and ignorant)!
@Levin Yeah I'm honestly really surprised, I thought there'd be way more plant based on here
@Levin anad you just hear the same tired false myths repeated again and again ad nauseum... sick of it
cause i love steaks , home made hamburgers, and chicken.
95% am vegetarian. Its pretty rare when I eat meat. Then I usually don't finish it. Just never liked the taste.
I am vegan and no I don't have any deficiencies I'm very healthy and no my diet isn't expensive.
Can’t afford it, and I don’t like the fact that GMOs are prevalent.
