EPTThank you.
the only reason to be vegetarian is if you do not like the taste/texture of meat.
Vegetarian "your hurting the animal!!!"

I could not retain the muscle mass/strength I have now with a vegetarian diet unless I eat like pounds of god damn legumes/tofu/beans which mostly taste like crap anyway. Unfortunately I don't sit on my ass all day. I work out roughly 5 times a week and my job generally makes me chase down people who don't want to go to jail that day. I like to be in shape and take it seriously. Could I keep myself at my current weight/mass with a vegetarian diet? Sure... if I wanted to spend about 5x more than I do now for food. Indeed, vegan foods are less calorie dense, meaning you would be eating larger portions at each meal. I ate much more as a vegan than i did before becoming vegan. However, this does not translate into higher food costs. Having been buying meat, eggs, dairy etc over the last month, my food bill has skyrocketed. Wheat, rice, beans, fruit and veggies etc are all fairly cheap. Obviously if you don't like the taste of beans, legumes etc, don't eat them. Eat whatever you want to eat and what makes you feel happy/healthy. Just wanted to point out that in my experience, eating a vegan diet was much easier on my wallet. | ||

I'm a fat tend-to-be-mostly-vegetarian-just-not-very-often-recently. a large percentage of the indian population are vegetarians, and it doesn't make them very skinny over the course of their lives edit: also some people seem to be talking about vegetarianism as if its some new concept which can't be applied for different lifestyles, occupations, etc. But people have been practicing vegetarianism in India for thousands of years, so I don't think that there its valid to say at all that "i'm a cop so I can't be a vegetarian" , or in order to eat the amount of calories/proteins that i need, i'd have to spend way more on food. Also I checked regarding protein. 100g of roast beef gives you approx. 26.1 g of protein. 100g of dal or lentils gives you 26g of protein too. So I don't think there is a big difference. Having said this i'm not a vegetarian, just thought that some people should realize vegetarianism is not a new thing at all. | ||

I have no problem with people who love broccoli but almost every vegetarian I've met has been snobby/preachy and tried to convert me. It's okay though cause I know I'm enjoying life more than they are (in terms of food at least). Then they claim meat-eaters are hostile. It's like blaming a 10/10 girl for being rude to a guy at a bar when she's being hit on 24/7 If everyone started sacrificing things just because they could live without them this world would be more than TvT boring. | ||

So I don't think there is a big difference. Meat protein and other protein are structured differently. If it were merely a matter of amount of protein then body builders would eat non meat alternatives because they are less calorie dense. | ||

I should eat less beef and more pork and chicken tho. i lived without a freezer for a while and a couple times I was forced to eat 3kg of beef in 3-ish days lol fruits and vegetables are delicious and it is absolutely true that a vast majority of people in western countries eat too much meat. people like the guy interviewed in OP should just advice people to eat less meat rather than to stop eating it completely because this is so unappealing to many people that they end up completely ignoring a very valid piece of advice. | ||

On the subject of vegetarianism, I believe I was born half velociraptor, and thus need to survive by eating meat. No exceptions. | ||

Also one of them killed her fucking cat because she tried to feed it an all-vegan diet and it starved to death. Cats are carnivores, sweetheart. But anyway, there's no reason to get angry at vegetarians/vegans as a whole, guys. Despite what some of them think, vegetarians/vegans will NEVER become a large percentage of our population; we're omnivores, we naturally want to eat meat and fish. Just smile and move on. | ||
