i would probably splurge on chocolate etc sometimes but its probably less harmful if i cut down on red meat.. because that way you cut down on at least ONE unhealthy thing... its one less unhealthy thing.. chocolate doesnt lead to cancer... i have a high metabolism so i dont have to worry about getting fat plus im not diabetic..im healthy and i can eat a lot of sugar and be ok.. i can eat shitloads of sugar and not get fat, i have good genes.
i dont really care about the animals to be honest.. i only care about my health.. i would do it to decrease my chances of cancer.. my number 1 priority is me myself and I and my health and my body.

but thats completely different than a vegetarion. thats just someone who chooses to eat what they consider healthier at that point in time , not ruling out foods forever.
Thats more like saying you dont jaywalk but you might do it once in awhile or if you have to as opposed to someone who will die if there is no crosswalk or a cab doesnt come pick them up in ordr not to jaywalk
I dont drink much because it is unhealthy but i'm not swearing off alcohol because it can cause cancer.
common sense tells us eating ONE steak one time and mostly healthy food the rest of the time is WAY healthier than some vegan that eats a bag of marshmallows every signle day
Just seems to me theres some deeper issue with alot of vegetarians , like maybe they have no willpower and have to stay off meat forever because they can't control their eating or something , because a normal person could just eat unhealthy things once in awhile and be just fine.
I don't eat alot of processed foods and most of the meat is local small farm meat , thats got to be healthier than a vegetarian eating junky food and terminator soy products.
