Does it really matter if supposedly "humans weren't meant to eat meat"? We weren't meant to do a lot of other things but we still do it right? Bias BS.

 I have been a vegetarian for five years and i would never go back to eating meat
it's certainly not for any reason listed in that article though, sounds like a load of bs in my opinion
not all vegetarians are hippies who recycle their shower water to water their organic home grown vegetable patches

Need animal proteins for building muscles and general health well being.

Everyone in this topic: go read Peter Singer's "Practical Ethics". 

... I think you know what I'm thinking EZ.

Meat-eaters: have claws
Herbivores: no claws
Humans: no claws
Great white sharks: no claws

THUS
How great white sharks are not physically created to eat meat

Say what you want about Singer as a 'philosopher', but if people are going to go along with some sort of utilitarian moral thinking (as like 75% of the population does), they may as well understand the consequences.  :p

Having not read either books, wouldn't Animal Liveration be more relevant?

Practical Ethics has a very detailed section on it too - tbh most of Singer's stuff is probably in the same sort of vein.

I've been a vegetarian for 17 years and I've never fainted from lack of meat...

it's different for everyone. i was a vego for a few months but started passing out frequently because apparently my body isn't able to absorb plant-based iron.
