I was just wondering, the number of vegetarians is rising rapidly, and lots of places are recommending and promoting vegan diets. But are they REALLY healthy? Are they REALLY the best kind of diet so far?
We are omnivores for a reason. The expansion of diet and the discovery of meat played a major role in our evolution. Therefore, I think we should have a balanced diet consisting of meat, plants, and diary products. However, some vegetarians argue that consuming meat can cause many serious health problems, and that you can get all the nutrients in meat just by consuming plants, which reduce the tendencies of getting those health problems. But is this really true? I mean, there is a very observable difference between herbivores and carnivores in terms of behaviour. So something must be significantly different about meat and plants.
So does meat have something unique that can never be found in other nutritional sources? Is it better to be omnivores, and eat a little bit of everything in our diet? Or are the vegetarians telling the truth?
Looking forward to any response and comment
Thanks
