the sooner we get away from BEEF

Quote from killthesunshine:

i'm sure you smothered the beast with cheese, condiment and VEGGIES to mask the taste :D

Beef, condiments, chesse, onions. tomatoes, pickles, lettuce... oh yeah.

Beef is good. It masks the taste of the veggies! :p
 
I just can't see how a person can be strong without a moderate amount of animal protein..... :confused:

I work out like a madman - usually 6 hours everyday and yes, I work out as soon as I wake up on an empty stomach and energy/NO supplements

But as soon as I am done with my workout, I have to eat some portions of meat

Just like everything in life, anything in moderation is good for ya :cool:

Read up on it. You can completely replace all the proteins from animal flesh with a variety of nuts and beans. Even if you don't become a vegetarian, the reading is extremely educational about diet.

It's really a matter of *wanting* to switch to a vegetarian diet. We live in a meat-eating culture where meat is cheap and plentiful and accepted as the "normal" diet.

You don't really "need" animal protein but it takes work and research to switch to a diet without it. Plus in a meat-eating society you'll be constantly fighting being told that not eating meat is unhealthy. Keep in mind that the research you did to eat healthy as a vegetarian makes you *much* more informed about food and diet than the average person. The meat-eating nay-sayers will spout common wisdom entirely based on biases and attitudes but no real research.
 
Quote from Cdntrader:

On a recent TED.com lecture it was mentioned that Americans eat 10 billion animals............................ a year!

It's a good thing Americans are eating these animals or we would get overpopulated with them.

We would be knee deep in animal poop. :(
