Should We Eat Meat?

Should We Eat Meat?

Thanksgiving arrives every year with a heated debate over how to best cook that plump and juicy turkey. But the idea of a tofu turkey (also known as a “tofurkey”) has gone from a joke a couple years ago to a reality for many. While vegetarianism has been practiced for over a thousand years in some countries, it is a relatively new concept in the West. And so, with the question cropping up more and more often, should we eat meat?

    I agree with disagreeing

    Exactly, it IS good business. It's ALL about money , not anyone's health .

    Protein can easily be found in nuts, legumes, peanut butter, broccoli, and spinach. In fact, spinach and broccoli have a higher percentage of protein that any animal protein.

    Also, I'd like to pitch that it's a fact that there are other cultures in which the citizens eat half the protein that the standard American does, but their lives have more health AND longevity. Most Americans eat too much protein.
