Yes of course you can get proteins without eating meat. There's a reason, however, that _most_ vegetarians and especially vegans are not very muscular, even though they may be trim.
All proteins are not created equal. I get low fat proteins from lean red meat, fishes, egg white, chicken, turkey, whey, fat free milk, black beans, etc. The mixture is important for strong muscle growth. Vegetable proteins tend to be the least useful in muscle production.
I don't really buy the "more healthy" aspects necessarily, either. Yes, vegetarians and vegans tend to be slimmer, however, you can eat meat products and still keep your fat intake low. I eat red meat, I also train from 3-5 hours a day 6 days a week including a 12km run every morning. How are you going to tell me the average vegetraian is "more healthy" than me?.Comment

How MUCH red meat do you eat?
From the 2nd paragraph it doesn't sound like you are someone who sits down to a half a kilo of meat and some potato's with nothing else ... but will you be able to keep that training regime up for the rest of your life? Probably not ... your body will probably change and you'll have to change your habits with it. Vegetable proteins may not help you build up your muscles, but the vitamins they contain will help prevent the damage you are doing through excessive exercise and the fibre's will help move all that protein through your insides to prevent it sticking around and causing cancer.
But having lots of muscles doesn't make one healthy either ... I think comparing poo is more effective than comparing muscle mass where the 'health' test is concerned! LOL
Bottom line though is what the hell would I know about your body and your health?! We're all just doing what feels best for our own bodies ...Comment

I probably eat an 8-10 portion of red meat maybe 3-4 times a week for dinner. The rest split between salmon and chicken.
Protein doesn't stick around anywhere, because I drink a ton of water and do a lot of cardio exercise. My muscles need a lot of fuel for repair, and that's where the proteins go.
I do eat a lot of potatoes, without butter or crap of course, just plain baked potatoes because they're a complex carbohyrdate with a low glycemic value.

Word is, it is already in the supply. I have read quotes from people who do cloning of animals and cloned animals HAVE in fact been processed and made into meat and served.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...601337_pf.htmlThree years after the Food and Drug Administration first hinted that it might permit the sale of milk and meat from cloned animals, prompting public reactions that ranged from curiosity to disgust, the agency is poised to endorse marketing of the mass-produced animals for public consumption.
Funny thing is, I have always somewhat been animal rights, however I always suffered the same hypocritical day-to-day living that stated otherwise. You can't be for "animal rights" and then eat them everyday. You cant be " a dog or cat" person, and then eat cows.
Sorry for all the questions but aside from the personal reasons I've recently started an animal rights website with a friend who works with PETA and am very curious what leads people to their choices. I am not personally keen on being vegan or even vegetarian yet but had already started cutting out most of these things over the last 5 years for health reasons.
Abe Lincoln said that basically you cant be for "human rights" and not "animal rights" to be in support of both brings humans back to its whole.
"I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being." - Abe Lincoln
Blacks were freed by a person who believed in animal rights.
I believe that like Albert Einstein in his final years, that man must become vegetarian to reach a higher plane of existence. It takes strength and courage, and discipline to be veg. Einstein realized it, and so did Abe Lincoln, and so do I.
I rather put myself in that category than with Ted Nugent.

...and I still eat fish every day if I can help it.
Fletch, what's wrong with eating fish?***************************************
Give me the offer I can't refuseComment

For you, nothing. nothing is wrong with eating anything if you want to. I am not here to cast that sort of judgement on anyone. However, whats in the wter, is in the fish, have you looked at our pretty oil-free pollution-free oceans anytime lately? Mercury?
For me personally, I would rather not have things on my plate that were once alive, with a beating heart, with blood flowing through them.
Its me, no one else who has to look at my plate of food, or rest my head after when I go to sleep.Last edited by Fletch XXX; 01-25-2008, 05:25 AM.

I've been trying to keep an eye on what kinds of meats I eat. Thankfully ATL is a big city and there are places you can buy non-antibiotic chicken, beef, and pork. Most of the fish I eat here is no more than 1 mile from where it was caught I'm a BIG milk drinker and having a history of osteoporosis, I plan on staying that way. If I'm around a TJs I'll buy their organic skim, but otherwise usually the local skim.
My grandfather "retired" from owning a large snack food industry and buying a cattle farm so we've really been eating junk forever. Everyone who dies a natural death has been well into their 80's or 90's and there has never been any cancer on either side of the family. My maternal uncle had a heart attack at 45 but he was a VERY heavy smoker and beer drinker. He's stopped both, that was 20 years ago and he's fine now. Plays golf every day too.
My blood pressure is so low that when it was even slightly elevated my stepmother pointed out in the ER that they needed to really start moving because that just wasn't normal for me - she was 100% correct.
I think you should pick the lifestyle YOU like and live it. If you like meat, eat it. Sometimes nothing says "YUM" like being hosed off after pigging out at a BBQ If you're a vegan or vegetarian, more power to you.
My sister has been a vegetarian since she was five. Right now she's in the middle of a "raw fast" where she can only eat raw or lightly steamed foods. What amazed me was that the other night she had two HUGE plates of beets, turnips, kale, asparagus, and some sort of lemon sauce which is the only seasoning she can use. Within 20 minutes she was hungry again. My Thai shrimp w/rice kept me full until the next AM

Okay I have been reading about Vitamin B all morning basically... what I have found is this. No animal can "create" it - nor plants. B12 cannot be made by plants or by animals. It originates in the intestines of animals, it is a bacteria. HUman feces has vitamin B in it. Vitamin B does not come "from meat" it is preent in the intestines of animals when killed. People who say the only source for Vitamin B is eating animal flesh are wrong.
http://www.vitamins-supplements.org/...12-sources.phpB12 cannot be made by plants or by animals. It is thought that only bacteria (eubacteria, archaebacteria) manufacture the vitamin. The B12 in animal products is derived from bacterial B12 sources.
http://www.vegsoc.org/info/b12.htmlIn nature, B12 is solely produced by bacteria found in animals (including humans), so that dirt could actually be considered a natural source of B12. Vitamin B12 is made by bacteria and fungi, but not by yeasts or higher plants. Friendly bacteria reside in large quantities in the gastrointestinal tract of animals and humans. The richest dietary sources of vitamin B12 are liver, especially lamb's liver, and kidneys.
Human faeces can contain significant B12. A study has shown that a group of Iranian vegans obtained adequate B12 from unwashed vegetables which had been fertilised with human manure. Faecal contamination of vegetables and other plant foods can make a significant contribution to dietary needs, particularly in areas where hygiene standards may be low. This may be responsible for the lack of aneamia due to B12 deficiency in vegan communities in developing countries.
So,... onto daily values.
The DV you should take in of Vitamin B12 is 6mcg - I have read everything from 2.5mcg to 6.0 mcg
Doctors recommend vegetarians take Vitamin B supplements, and drink plant based fortified milk with b12, b6 etc... which i do.
So to the vitamin b12 debate i say...
... vitamin B12 - pfft

Just for the record I don't call myself a "vegan", its almost impossible to live that way, just a vegetarian. Vegans avoid all animal products, no leather, etc.
My fox stoles are already dead, and my closet is full of leather jackets, and they are going nowhere. But I'm not about to start collecting skins either.
and don't get me started on my shoe collection. Many animals died for those too. I have so many they'll probably rot before I wear them out. And in Louisiana its all broken cobblestone or grass. Heels are out of the question here, pretty indefinitely til I move.

Even when I went raw that would have been a sucky breakfast. Give me fruit please.

YesComment

You would have to ask a vegan, i am not one. I am VEGETARIAN.
Some vegetarians eat eggs, and drink milk. I just do not. There are three types of vegetarians. Vegan is a way further. Trying to bind me to their rules is a bit silly since I have never claimed to be a vegan.

Being a VEGAN has to do with animal rights, thats what "veg-an" is - VEGTARIAN/ANIMAL RIGHTS = vegan.
vegetarians are different.

I meant in regards to you asking me, but its obvious the person you asked wasn't a true vegan, which is why it pissed them off
From what I gather vegans mostly own "saved" pets who wouldve have been put to death otherwise. And they wouldnt be "caged" if they were a true/pure vegan.Last edited by Fletch XXX; 01-25-2008, 01:05 PM.

In regards t o make up (i dont wear any) but I have read also that AVON is animal friendly.
I have ordered some products from http://www.natures-gate.com/ (toothpaste, mouthwash, deodrant etcc...)
I love the deodorant, regular stuff from stores always irritates my underarms and burns me, but this natural stuff works and feels great.
this orange and patchouli deodorant is my fave

how does having a pet harm an animal intrinsically? it doesn't therefore it's fine.
for the record, i am a vegetarian not a vegan.
and for the record, "vegan" is defined not as having to do with animal rights but as being a diet that contains no animal products at all.
I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, to be specific, though i don't eat many eggs. just don't really like them much - or scared of them.
also, you don't NEED to be hulk hogan or arnold schwartz to be strong, and how strong to you NEED to be anyway?
nutrition comes from plants - PERIOD.
you get nutrition from animals because they eat plants.
some of the nutrition in animal food is sythesized by the animal itself - fine, eat animal products that don't intrinsically require death or pain to the animal - like cheese or whatever.
you'll be strong enough - trust me.
