Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Read the stupid ( sorry, but it is) comment below this "article" http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=news/health & id=6279714 Have you ever been bullied by a vegetarian? I ask because I was driving home from work last week, listening to one of my favorite radio talk shows, and the topic was vegetarianism. And a doctor, who was a guest on the show and a vegan, challenged the co-host to a foot race. In making the challenge, the doctor told his opponent he would not win because his body wasn't "clean." Aparently the doctor used the word clean in describing his meat eating opponent. The doctor insinuated that his status as a vegan placed him in a better position to win the physical challenge. I don't know who won the foot race, but the comment left a bad taste in my mouth. There seems to be an ongoing debate between meat eaters and vegetarians. Having been a vegetarian (no meat, poultry or fish) 10 years ago, I understand and respect both sides of the issue. Today, I am a happy meat eater, who is very healthy and satisfied with my choice to eat meat. It is possible to live a healthy life as a meat eater, contrary to the belief of some people. Eating lean cuts of meats, fish and seafood is not only a healthful style of eating, but is very satisfying. Protein is integral to rigorous training and I prefer to get mine from meat. I even know someone who resumed eating meat after decades of vegetarianism so that her body could better handle a new exercise regimen. Just because you choose to eliminate meat, seafood, fish or any combination of the three from your diet, you are not assured healthier living. In fact, during my time as a vegetarian, I became very anemic and was lacking a lot of nutrition. The main reason is because I was an uneducated vegetarian. Even though I wasn't eating meat, I failed to supplement my diet with a variety of whole grains, legumes and larger quantities of green leafy vegetables.
