I do know that protein dense, lean meat (tuna, chicken breast) does require the body to burn calories to process it. I don't know if a protein dense vegetarian meal would have the same effect. And, although people often say that beans & rice is a great source of protein, would the vegetarian have to use more variety of grains to have the same effects on the body?
I don't think that vegetarians would need to use more grains besides rice (with beans) to acquire the protein for putting on muscle mass, but variety is usually a good idea in any diet. As for the calories needed to process a meat meal vs. a protein dense vegetarian meal, I don't know which takes more. I have read that meat takes a longer time to digest than vegetarian protein sources.

Thanks for replying! I didn't know if you were still reading the thread.

Eating meat tissue culture would reduce the number of animals harmed by people and so would be the more ethical choice in my opinion, Pedestrian, but not the *most* ethical choice.

I agree with Tore, though, that culturing meat tissue is very expensive and will never satisfy many people's habit of eating flesh, since they just wouldn't want to (or couldn't) pay that much money.

Agreed and agreed. And meat-consumption is increasing worldwide as people (especially in China) rise out of poverty. Eventually, I predict the ballooning human population will cause the competition between people and livestock for grains to become so great that most people won't be able to consume as many animals as they do now. Roadkill and animals who die of natural causes might start looking tastier and tastier to meat-eaters!

how recent are you talking about? Also what's making people fatter is not meat consumption alone but carbs play a big part in that and just generally unhealthy diet habits overall. I don't see how you can come to the dramatic conclusion that the planet is being damaged from this. I can understand if you tried to link deforestation to having another meat packing plant built or something along those lines. Eating too much of anything is bad for you not just meat.

Meat does take longer to digest but there is this wild theory that meat stays in your colon for years or some such non-sense. The only meat that will stay in there that long is if you go around and don't eat any fiber whatsoever.

I'm sorry but that couldn't be farther from the truth. People will continue to use up as many resources as possible til we get to the point where it's MadMax style but instead of fighting over water it will be over food in general.

That's why I'm all for wars and I tend to like when natural disasters occur but it's curbing the human population a bit.

The thing about eating humans, sure to some people there might be an ethical concern because they feel more connected to humans than they do animals. Yes, I know humans are animals but you know what I mean.

Also, I don't think there are many eatable parts to a human that are nutritious except for the liver and possibly the heart.

Uh, no. I don't eat meat because I disagree with farming practices and the growing reliance on animal products, not because I don't like the taste of it.

No. I hate the idea of eating an animal full stop. The thought of my stomach being a pet cemetery makes me ill.

In answer to alot of tore's questions.

Well wouldn't it be survival instinct? I'm not about to give myself up to a lion because it's hungry. I want to be the one to survive and eat others. Not him.

what? i don't understand you. farming is for vegetables, not for meat. if ou disagree with a farming practice, you disagree on a vegetable. unless you have a different definition of farming.

Factory farming is the practice or process of raising livestock in confinement at high density. Farm here refers to the factory where animals are confined. It is used by industrial farmers.

you can read more about it here:

hope that helps.
