What do I think about vegetarians? I think that they do not get enough of the essential vitamins needed in order to maintain healthful bodies and minds. Do you know how helpful meat is to our diets??!?! Now, I am sure that some vegetarians are able to take all the necessary vitamins for daily survival, but let’s get real here. Do you think they all really have the time to go to the local GNC and spend all that extra money when they could just eat a slab of delicious meat? Then there is the issue of “eating a helpless animal.” Okay, I do understand this. Animals are cute, and do not deserve to be slaughtered in some of the ways that they are, but I think there are more effective ways to fight against those brutalities than harming your own body.
Here are necessities that YOUR body needs on a daily basis:
• Compared to vegetarian foods, meat contains ALL essential amino acids needed.
• Red meat is high in iron. Many vegetarians do not get enough of this.
• Meat has high phosphorus content that can be direct absorbed into the body’s digestive system.
• Vegetarian foods that contain phosphorus also contain phytic acid that is absorbed first, making it harder for the body to get all the phosphorus needed.
• Meat is the MAIN source of vitamin B12.
So really, make your own decisions on what best suits your lifestyle. I pass no judgment on those who do not eat meat, but what I can tell you is that I really do enjoy a nice cut of steak.
