Vegetarianism

[Saffyminty]

You can't go by those charts. Every person is different as far as when they hit puberty. You're not going to be fully grown at 16, I can just about guarantee you that.

Okay well I'm pretty sure that I will be very close to finishing. And yes every person if different, these are just averages.

Not all growth takes place in puberty. It has been 100% confirmed that the human body is fully grown once it is 21 years old. I would like to see the book or website that claims that you stop growing at 16 because that is a complete hokus. If puberty stops, does not mean that growing stops as well.

Yes I know that when puberty stops it doesn't mean that growing also stops but I suppose they are around the same time!!! And you couldn't possibly stop growing exactly at 16. 'It’s your sixteenth birthday your growing stops...NOW!' Hehe But there is little difference in growth from around 16 to when you finish growing, although I'm pretty sure our bodies are changing all the time!

I have nothing against vegetarians, they chose the way of nutrition and if they like, as there are problems, they have complete freedom to choose their path, whether good or bad. But it's amazing how many tried this type of diet and your metabolism will end end up winning, to be difficult serguir without prejudice.

In my case I like meat as much as the plants, but especially the first and not let anyone insist that I have to eat this and that, as I will insist that you do not like meat to a vegetarian. They are decisions that must be respected, even though you know that can harm the individual who is practicing is not to diet or eat only animals, which is one of the main reasons why people become vegetarian.

Does anyone else feel like this was written in Chinese and badly run through Google translate?

Anyway, vegetarianism does not appeal to me at all. I doubt many carnivores grieve for the meat they eat, so why should we? Besides, plants are living creatures too. And it's not like the animal won't be gobbled up by another hungry animal if we don't get to it first. Nature is cruel - deal with it.

Yeah I get what you mean!! I can't help but think that everything has feelings. But yeah i don't know. We must eat and so does everything else I guess!! But i do not want to continue eating meat.

As far as I'm concerned, your doing animals an injustice by not eating meat. The few vegetarians out there aren't going to make a lasting impression on the meat industry, and the demand of meat isn't going to drop, because the general mass isn't going to stop eating meat because they think it's wrong. Those animals are still going to be killed, the only difference is, when you don't eat them, they died in vain.

A few people aren't going to make a lasting impression, on an industry that produces thousands of jobs in an Economy that is in really bad shape. If we got rid of it, all we'd be doing is pushing our Economy further downhill.

Oh don't worry I know that I will not make a lasting impression on the meat industries. I guess it is more of a moral thing. I just feel really bad when I think of the animals that are killed and people don't think twice when they eat a piece of ham. We don't think of what that animal went through to get there. I know animals don't have the same intelligence as humans or the types of emotions we do. But sometimes it is difficult to not think that they do. My dogs seem to and even my fish to some extent!!!

Actually, there is a very distinct possibility of having a deficiency in certain necessary vitamins when removing meat from your diet. Particularly vitamin B6 and B12. They certainly exist in foods outside of meat, but not in amounts that is at all realistic for the standard vegetarian diet. That's why most vegetarians take some type of multivitamin or other to balance out the lack.

It's certainly not as simple as, "Oh! Meat gives you protein; and you need that!", but having meat in one's diet is, from a medical standpoint, the optimal way to go without additional assistance from things like multivitamins. This shouldn't discourage someone from wanting to be a vegetarian to take a personal stand against the meat industry (it really is pretty messed up), but a lot of research needs to go into a choice like that, as for humans, it quite literally isn't natural.
