The basic truth is Amino Acids...
Our bodies have the ability to produce all the proteins we need but there are 10 (currently recognized) amino acids that we MUST get from food
Back in biology (a long long time ago in a galaxy...) we were taught that the body needs 42... (the universal answer ???) We could manufacture all 42 if we had 7 amino acids...
If just ONE was missing, a whole group could not be created leading to all sorts of problems and deficiencies and disease.
I have seen vegetarians sick all the time because unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing, a veggie diet will ensure you miss some vital elements
Hindus may worship cows... but they drink the milk thus ensuring they get that amino acid group.
American do eat too much meat... it has been estimated that 80% of Americans walk around with 10 to 20 pounds of putrified meat in their intestines... Talk about health issues from tat
But I think its dangerous telling people to stop eating meat without PROFESSIONALLY giving the alternative that is needed to replace the missing amino acids
Sadly doctors in the US do not care about prevention... No money in keeping people healthy
As to the animals PITA ran a campaign showing Col Sanders as a mad butcher and ran an ad saying you were a child molester if you fed you kids hamburgers.
Needless to say that kind of mentality serves no one
And don't you be wearing any leather shoes or belts... or I might think you a hypocrite
