A friend I met at Frankfurt airport...

As soon as I mentioned vegetarianism he got so pissed, we became good friends afterwards...

In Vietnam, dog meat is also a delicacy.

In the Western hemisphere, in countries like Canada, the United-States and countries in Europe, delicacies include hamburgers, fried chicken, roasts, and other "normal" dishes. In fact, burgers and steaks aren't necessarily delicacies; they are everyday foods. If meat (and its byproducts) are so mainstream, we have no right to be ignorant as to where they come from. It is our duty, as CONSUMERS of the meat as well as supporters of the industry, to ensure that the animals are well taken care of and undergo ethical treatment.

This is why I chose a vegetarian...

Even though I don't agree with it, it looks a lot better than this...

We are the top of the food chain; We are what we M-eat

I know I’m going to get a lot of 'dislikes' about this, but before I start please keep an open mind and don’t judge before you read this, your first post about pro-meat eating.

 WE ARE GENETICALLY OMNIVORES!

The first and most obvious reason why vegetarianism is not in our nature is, it goes against the basis of science, the biological and genetic making of the human body. We are omnivores, born that way for generations probably since the beginning of Human life. If we look at the vegetarian species, they all don’t stop eating, they eat all day. Elephants, giraffes and cows consume more food than any carnivore on the planet. And what is the common characteristic among them? They are all huge! I’m not saying, if you become vegetarian you will get bigger but those animals are that big for a reason. In their bellies you can find the biggest digestive systems in the world, which allows them to eat that much. Something the tiny human digestive system can’t do. The reason why they need to eat that much is because the body absorbs about 30 to 60% of the nutriments and vitamins in vegetarian food, and close to 90% of the ones in meat. Fibre is very hard to digest; our stomachs need to take breaks through-out the day, so we can’t eat as much as big animals and certainly not from the same kind. If we do, our stomachs become loose and the more we eat the more we need, not mentioning how gassy we would become, something no one wants. Gas is not only uncomfortable, it can become painful, the whole process of bloating disturbs digestion. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying eating vegetables are not good for you and I’m not saying meat is the only food you should eat. All I’m saying is that since we are omnivores we need a balance of both.
