They're certainly useful for sports and making your everyday life easier, being healthier, living longer, etc. Not saying that they're necessary, but a degree of muscle mass is certainly beneficial and easier to gain an on omnivore diet. ![[image loading]](http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/imagebuzz/terminal01/2009/6/23/10/vegan-carnivore-32432-1245766652-3.jpg) | ||

Just sayin' if a vegan had to choose between eating a steak and feeding a starving child or eating a non-animal product and letting the child starve, then he better choose the latter. Or he could eat non-animal products and feed starving children... but that still doesn't address the issue for me. Why not feed starving children and work for human rights? Feed starving children and stop animals from being killed for fashion purposes instead of to feed human beings? For me, it is just one of those things that I don't really see how people can be so adamantly for it... although I guess more odd things have been debated rigorously... | ||

If your argument is that you can be an athlete while being a vegan, obviously that is true. Does being a vegan make you a better athlete? There really isn't any decisive evidence. Does being an omnivore make you a better athlete? Well... yeah I'd have to say so. Considering most athletes eat meat I'd have to say that most likely eating meat is more healthy than not eating meat. It is a guess, obviously, but a guess that I'd conjecture most would side with me on. I'm not so sure that the conclusion you've drawn is correct. Firstly all us vegans/vegitarians here are trying to say is that you can be healty and not eat meat (dispite the bigoted claims of others). Secondly if we consider that meat eaters are more likely to be obese doesn't that mean that vegitarianism is healthier? Honestly I wouldn't draw a conclulsion one way or the other, although from life experience I'd say it is probably easier to be healthy and eat meat. However, I do know that you can get a balanced diet being vegan or vegitarian and that will make you as healthy as you need to be (unless you have some exceptional illness). All I really want to say (and i think I speak for others in doing so) is that you can be vegitarian/vegan and be fit and healthy. | ||

It is easier to have a healthy diet as an omnivore. I agree. | ||

Humans were not designed to eat meat, because they were not designed. This ability evolved in humans because it is advantageous. Along with that, just because you can eat meat, doesn't mean you ought to. Humans have evolved the ability to rape, but that is definitely an 'ought not'. You can eat lettuce or algae, doesn't mean you ought to. Since eating is a requirement of life, it can't be said that the act of eating anything is right or wrong. Human labels of 'dietary regimes' are lol, as the fact of biology is that humans are omnivores. A 'vegan' or a 'carnivore' are just omnivores who eat no meat or only meat respectively. As far as I'm concerned, your body, you choose what to put in it. You are responsible for that choice though, with all the implications. Personally, because I have empathy, I find that killing is distasteful. I don't want to be killed, and when I see that desire expressed by another being, I am not unaffected. I think that is a big part of what makes us human. If you approach your diet with a open mind and you research diligently every dietary choice you make, I can't believe that you wouldn't find yourself to be a healthier and happier person because of it, not to mention more educated about nutrition than 99% of peeps. | ||

Yeah it's just really difficult to make a full vegan diet. I am going to school for it and when anyone tells me they are vegan I get chills. It is literally scary to make that diet. So easy to forget a vitamin or not add enough protein. The best thing to do is research, talk to other ( smart healthy) vegans, and take a multivitamin to cover any vitamin holes. | ||

Second point is not necessarily true as vegetarians often turn to a lot of processed foods and grains as well as consuming additional calories as the fat/protein in meat satiates the appetite for longer resulting in a fatter vegetarian. | ||

Eating meat helps build muscle the fastest.On a vegetarian diet considering you can get a decent amount of protein it is possible to build muscle the same way just alot harder to do.When i am saying that you need muscle it is indeed true for men but women i would make an argument can do either.When we as omnivores have no protein in our diet we become very unhealthy.We need a certain amount of protein in order to live a healthy and atheletic life. Meaning this you can be a healthy vegetarian with muscle but will be harder to maintain and get that muscle but it is possible considering you get some decent amount of protein with the diet but overall i would say the best absolute diet for any person is an omnivorous diet to maintain health,function of speed and strength,and overall a better look and lifestyle. edit: Oh, i would like to add that cows eat grass and since they eat grass it would be pretty worthless to state that if we just eat what they eat(humans cannot digest grass) that we would have more energy but it would clean out your system pretty good oh yeah | ||

Yes I can force myself to deny eating meat, but why on Earth should I do that, just to prevent animals to get slaughtered? If veganism would give me +100 years I would probably do it, but I cannot see any advantage of it right now. | ||
