My fragmented sentences are not the point here. It has been shown that protein is more readily absorbed from meat when compared to eating vegetarian substitutes like soy or tofu. The fact that vegetarians have to be careful and make sure they are getting plenty of iron, protein, Vitamins D and B-12, calcium, zinc and other nutrients, shows why meat is an essential part to the human diet, since we are omnivores after all.

Edit: B-12, which is obtained exclusively by eating animals (although synthetic supplements are available, but they aren't as efficiently asorbed as natural B-12) is especially important since B-12 deficiency can cause anemia and nerve damage.

As long as you're cool with anemia due to lack of Vitamin B-12. Meat is necessary for a normal diet, just not in the huge amounts that your average American consumes. It is shown that a daily consumption of 4-6 oz of meat is necessary for a healthy diet.

These random claims come from my Biology textbook and also my Physical Anthropology textbook.

Highly debatable.

Proteins are made of amino acids. Suspect!

You want to debate that meat isn't good for you? Certain meats and especially the ways meat is processed isn't good for you (i.e. bacon), but meat in it's basic form is good for the human body as we are designed to eat meat.

Yes, I was just naming things off the top of my head that meat contains.

e.g. if you want protein, than meat has more of it than a bundle of carrots; not saying you HAVE to and can only get protein from meat, but it's readily there. Now, I can eat a jar of peanut butter and get more protein than a filet mignon; that doesn't mean I should or need to substitute.

Vegetarians exist, this very fact proves that meat is not an essential part of everyday life.

It is essential if you want to lead a normal everyday life. As I said before, why do you think vegetarians have to regulate their diet so carefully in order to make sure they obtain necessary amounts of nutrients?

By the way bacon isn't nec a processed meat either, it's cured not "processed."

I'm curious, do you think our teeth and intestinal tract are designed not to process meat?

Meat in its basic form? Raw meat isn't good for you, and meat that people eat commonly actually rots in your stomach.

Amino acids are what protein is made of, no need to name them both.

Where is all this bs coming from of "It's readily there."? What does that mean? It's readily anywhere in any form if you look. For those who want it in other forums, it's not some arduous task to acquire it.

It's not essential, you fool. What are you talking about?

ANY human should regulate their diet, the fact that some people do so carefully means they are more sensible, and probably more healthier than you.

Guzzling down meat because it's "easier" means nothing.

Cos you've gotta love evolution and adaptation.
