iluvanime13 And the most important reason why I became a vegetarian is when I heard that more than 7 billion animals die yearly for human consumption. That just breaks my heart. And what about all the vegetables that are killed for human consumption?

Oh and vegetables do not die instantaneously when they are riped off the land, they may even be alive when you eat them.

I think the most wonderful part about it is that I have been able to connect to nature upon a spiritual level, most animals when I just sit and enjoy my self while looking at them seem to not notice I am there or know I am and just go about their buisness. I find their presence most refreshing.
Being veggitarion for me has been more then a healthy benifit, but a spiritual benifit to.

Judging from all the debating going on here, I'm going to say that anybody who doesn't know which end of the "dieting pool" to swim in, they have got to see all of this. Personally, me, I'm going to float in the middle.
Normally I swim in the deep-end in real life xd .

Here's just something for the people who are confused on whether to become vegetarian after reading your post. If we both come down with a cold at the same time, and you take triaminic and so do I, we might not get the same results. Who knows, tylenol might do me good instead.

Blood`Eternity There isnt enough vegetables on the planet to feed every person on the earth, if humans were to stop eating meat altogether then people would either be starving to death or the goal would be lost because we would have to kill nearly every herd mammal on the planet to find more room to grow vegetables, and then because the animals are not there to recycle the earth the ground would grow stale and eventually vegetables would either not grow or they would be less nutritious which would be bad on our bodies, ultimately the destruction or beat-down of the planet earth and the demise of humanity and other land creatures. :] If the world were to suddenly adopt a vegetarian or vegan diet there would be a big problem. However if there is a gradual change towards a vegetarian or better still vegan diet, there would be less land needed to grow food to feed the world. This is a widely accepted fact. This means there will be more land abaliable for native habitats to grow. Native habitats greatly add to the worlds biodiversity and help keep the earth at equilibrium.

Blood`Eternity -It is an important part of your diet and although to much of it can be unhealthy without it your body becomes weak and you dont get the right nutrients. -Taking protein pills does not adequately substitute meat. -Humans were created to eat both meats and vegetables, so I take this into account and eat both evenly. -It is easier to achieve a balanced diet if you eat a meat because meat generally contains a variety of vitamins, protiens. -Without meat your body may become weak. But thats assuming you don't have a healthy and diverse diet. -If you are able to eat a variety of vegetables, fruit and non roasted/salted nuts you can maintain a perfectly healthy diet, no pills needed. -An isolated society in China maintains the highest life expectancy simply by eating raw vegetables. -If by created you mean by God then i have no arguement. But if you mean we have evolved from eating a variety of both and are capable of doing as such please tell smile
