10 Reasons to Stop Eating Beef (and other Fast Food)

Going veggie/vegan means you will feel better for a while, probably because you are forced to eat more veggies and your body can process some of the back log of toxic stuff. But eventually, unless you are extremely conscientious, and eat lots of eggs, your health will begin to decline.

Humans are basically protein synthesizing animals, we need lots of it daily to stay to healthy. I believe I have read that vegetarian societies have a shorter lifespan compared to meat eating societies (someone can check on this if they are so inclined).

The reason there are no good substitutes for meat is because there are no good substitutes for meat. Nature intended humans to eat meat to maintain optimum health. Soy, hemp, TVP, etc, do not even come close to providing adequate nutrition.

I am not yet convinced that a sustainable society could exclude all meat eating. But maybe I will be proven wrong.

And let me just say, I am not discounting veganism/vegetarianism. I just don't think they are viable long-term solutions.
