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?

Peta's arguments are well thought out and informative
Think Twice
PETA wants you to believe this garbage. It's just good buisness. Meat is the only true way to get some protien in your body and buil muscle. Sure, animals have some rights, but groups like PETA need to unscrew their heads and put them back on right. Meat has been important to this country's economy and history for centuries. If you take away America's meat, I'll burn all of your salad just to get back at you. MAN UP!!!

Then how come me (a vegetarian ) and my friend (a carnivore ) could face off in a sit-up contest, and I would win?

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.

Do you seriously think " meat is the only true way to get some protein in your body and build muscle"?!?!? Wow. Please read a book....better still, go tell that to mixed martial arts champion, and vegan, Mac Danzig.
