What is healthy is a diverse and varied diet, including all major food groups (yes, that includes meat) and the necessary vitamins and minerals that make up our nutritional daily allowance.

Healthy is most definitely NOT just eating a couple of green leaves a day and saying it's good for you. Unless you find a way of obtaining that which you are losing by not eating meat, you are NOT eating a healthy diet.

Personally I'm an omnivore and intend to continue to eat whatever I please, whenever I please.

The humen was ment to eat meat and greens....

you can get all your nutrients from other things, if you become vegan thats when you can come in to problems. I say eat fruit its good and bacon thats also good.

I'd eat a cloned human hmmmmm yummy, oven roasted forearm with cracklin marinated in a spicy lemon sauce.

Long live canabalism...

If i go by THAT rule, humans SHOULD be alowed to consume EVERYTHING on the planet! Including every poison that exists, like meat ! Peolpe still smoke and drink, even though they know it kills. Dont get me wrong, those that eat meat should go on eating it and enjoy it, but dont say it belongs to being HUMAN and force others into beliving you NEED it! If so i would have died 10 years ago.....but im still here!?
Peace! Dave
P:S: Funny how emotions rise when "meat" is the subject.

if i can still eat
- bacon
- burgers at lucky 7
- tunnbrörulle (swedish hot dog)
- whoppers at BK

i can be a vegetarian the rest of the time :-D

Nobody ever said there was a rule that humans must eat meat. Simply that our bodies have evolved over time into those of omnivores (capable of eating meat and veg). The reasons for this are obviously slightly deeper than the fact that meat tastes good (which it does - but I'll choose to accept your disagreement with this point). The reason that our bodies are capable of digesting meat, and indeed the reason the majority of the human population do eat meet, is that it provides more of what our body needs, in better quantities with relatively easy methods of capturing/digesting it.

In this day and age what with GM crops and the ability to get fresh produce halfway around the world in less than a day this is less and less of an important point. However if you consider how things used to be, it was vital to consume meat in order to get the nutrients your body required because certain current vegetarian stapels would not have been available in many areas of the world.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against people who choose to be vegetarian (only those who do so because they think animals are too cute to eat - and then proceed to eat fish because they aren't as cute), I am simply very happy eating meat and will defend my position against any (often flawed) argument that I should not eat meat.

I'm gonna eat you little fishy

Actually we shouldn't eat fish because the seas are extremely over fished, I think its a result of all of these Vegetarians.

so don't bother... all we need is fresh flesh!

The debating styles and sheer weight of scientific evidence in this discussion is quite simply overwhelming...

I challenge someone to explain how I get the fuck off this whelm...

God your starting to sound like a vegetarian ben

I had a veggie meal for lunch today. Do you think I've been converted? Is there some subliminal hypnosis going on behind the blank code???
