Dude, you can't post with broad statements you've overheard in a pub somewhere about there being 'things in meat that are easier to absorb than in veggies', then claim to have studied it somewhat at school, only to then say that you're not an encyclopedia when someone genuinely wants to know what it was you thought you knew..
Just look it up in wikipedia or something, you'll save just a tiny bit of face if you do..

I think for most people it would be better to invest your time/energy into eating mostly organic and staying away from highly processed foods. If you go vegetarian/vegan you really have to be diligent in making sure your diet is appropriately adjusted, otherwise you could end up worse off.
I started doing a bit of research myself and was amazed to find out about the harmful ingredients that seem to be in everything we eat. My wife and I have been slowly purging our cupboards of all the crap that we once ate and replacing it with food that is actually healthy and not harmful. I have been most amazed to find out how much better everything tastes, so it's a win-win imo.
- so to summarize, my wife and I are slowly becoming hippies :)designbot
- it doesnt, doenst it !. We have been slowly changing everything, I eat organic spinach on everything nowmikotondria3
- you don't think it tastes better?designbot
- God bless your wifeBLKWRLD

All you have to do is examine a group of 10 people who eat no meat at all.
Then examine 10 people who eat meat in abundance.By examining these two 'opposites', are reasonable dialectical conclusion can be afforded.
Personally, I believe that the people who don't eat meat are doing something right, as it is quite apparent.
- *A reasonable dialectical conclusion...BLKWRLD
- what about the moderate meat eaters or are you just going to pull from the opposite sides of the spectrumkona
- and make a broad assumption. hell, you might as well pull your 10 from 10 fat italian meat eaters andkona
- base your opinion. a rocket scientist could tell you the 10 people who eat leaves are healthier. it's skewed data.kona

I like meat.

I eat meat now. Just had a burger yesterday. Juicy. Meat, well done. Came with shitloads of awesome home made fries.
My lifestyle was basically screwed up due to the lack of options when eating out. :o(
Even now that I eat meet. i do not drink milk nor eat eggs coz they are both nasty, disgusting and illogical. If I get bread or cheese, I get soy cheese, organic stuff and shit like that.
And just wanna point out that if I get invited to a bbq, I show up 2 hours early with beers and shit. Can't resist them.

If I were ever invited to one of Calles' world famous BBQs, Id' bring a tent and shit and camp outside two days early.

histidine (L-histidine) - this amino acid is considered as essential for children. a crystalline compound with the formula C6H9N3O2. It is not produced by the body in children and must be extracted from food. It is found naturally in cheese, fish, meat, peanuts, poultry, soybeans and torula yeast.
isoleucine (L-isoleucine) - one of the essential amino acids. This is a crystalline compound with the formula C6H13NO2. It is not produced by the body and must be extracted from food. It is found naturally in cheese, fenugreek seeds, fish, nuts, poultry, seeds, soybeans, spirulina and torula yeast.
leucine (L-leucine) - one of the essential amino acids - a crystalline compound with the formula C6H13NO2. It is not produced by the body and must be extracted from food. It is found naturally in dairy products, meat, oats, peanuts, poultry, soybean, spirulina and torula yeast

thank you, thats great - just one thing springs to mind, and thats that recent research has led scientists to conclude that an elevated level of homocysteine in the blood is a central risk factor associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
Methionine and homocysteine have both been proved to be hazardous to human health in high doses. Methionine is found in many of the foods that Americans eat, but animal proteins can contain up to two to three times more methionine than plant proteins. Homocysteine is formed naturally in the human liver after ingesting methionine. Recently, investigators at Boston University found that elevated levels of homocysteine are associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. This may be because of the fact that high homocysteine levels make nerve cells weak and prone to premature death.Since animal proteins contain greater amounts of methionine than plant proteins, eating meat can raise homocysteine levels and increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Dairy products, particularly cheese products, also contain high levels of methionine. Consequently, eating meat or consuming dairy products creates a methionine-rich and, consequently, homocysteine-rich environment, dramatically increasing the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

i'm sure you could find contradicting information concerning those subjects. Some people are more prone to Alzheimer's than others.

--------------------------------...
Meat is good for you, our bodies absorb nutrients from animal products easier than vegetable products because we ARE animals ourselves.--------------
No, YOU are wrong. I wasn't talking about it being difficult to digest you idiot. Try reading before you type. I was saying that the body ABSORBS nutrients better if it comes from meat. There are more nutrients that are natural in meat that cannot ever come from veggies.
-----------------------
Do you actually want specific types of amino acids that come in meat form? what i'm telling you about absorption is something I learned in school. But its not like i'm saying that you should only eat meat.
What I am saying is that a little bit of meat is super good for you. meat is filled with amino acids that you just can't get through veggies or supplements in the same way. And also, veggies accompanied with meat compliments each other's amino acid deficits.-------------------
apparently none of you have ever taken a nutrition class. good luck.

you guys are really arguing about whether a little meat in your diet is good or not?
who fucking cares? eat what you like. some people eat dirt ffs
