Yes and no most of us eat meat because we are used to it, from the point of view of health many of the meats we eat are not good for us, This is largely because we eat excessive amounts. From the moral point of view the treatment of the vast majority of animals that are eaten is to say the lest shocking and taking that into account along with our ability to have good healthy nutrition as well as the sheer inefficiency of meat as a resource one can only come to the conclusion that eating meat is in fact bad.

No, it is necessary to survival and healthy physically and mental growth; humans have eaten meat since the dawn of man, and many animals are treated very well and respectfully before they are prepared to be consumed. Some are treated better than human beings, truthfully. This is because a human isn't necessarily needed to sustain another human's life, while meat is. Therefore, eating meat is, in fact, not bad, at all.

Not, it will not harm you. Humans can eat anything, so if the need arises in that there is a shortage of fruits or vegetables, then meat will do. The human diet should be balanced between proteins, vitamins, minerals, sugars and starches.

Pandas can only eat bamboo and like most other bears are not attracted to meat whatsoever. If they ran out of bamboo, they may disappear. Not to worry, bamboo is almost impossible to eradicate.

It doesn't digest fast. If it is not cooked well or all the way through it may cause a disease, and make you very sick. but if cooked all the way throw (but not blacked or burnt) then you will be fine. Don't eat the fat because that does not digest well but it is fine for other animals.

Eating beef is not bad for you, there are proteins in meat but there is some fat on it, so as long as you don't eat too much you will be fine.

Grass fed beef is high in CLA (Conjugated linoleic acid), a heart healthy fat and it is also high in omega-3 fatty acids.

There are 29 LEAN cuts of beef that are nutritious and are heart-healthy, diet-healthy. Lean beef is approximately as healthy as multi-vitamin supplements provides heme-iron, protein, vitamin B-12, zinc, iron, niacin, phosphorus and vitamin B-6. The iron is more digestible than iron from plant sources and this is especially important for children, women, and teens.

here are a few scientific nutrition facts :

1/. Lean beef is a good source of Vitamin b12 and vitamin b6, which are believed by many to help in eliminating heart attacks and strokes and also aid the body to manufacture red blood cells.

2/. Even a 80 gram portion of beef may contribute over a tenth of the consumers needed daily requirement of phosphorus, vitamin b6, protein, vitamin b12 and zinc.

3/. There are people who believe that one should abstain from beef as they think it includes high levels of fat. Even though this might have been true a few years ago, quality beef sold nowadays is notably less fatty than it used to be, and it should be noted that more than fifty percent of the fatty acids present in modern beef are monounsaturated fats which are generally believed to be better for your health than other fats.

4/. The zinc that is present in quality beef is imperative for normal development, supports the body's immune system, has been shown to help repair wounds, moderates hunger and appetitie and can improve your ability to experience flavors.

5/. Some people think that people on a diet should steer clear of beef. In fact, this is clearly untrue, in reality the 3 ounce serving of beef that many experts recommend as a healthy daily consumption, is actually just ten percent of the general 2000 calories per day diet.

6/. If you look at it clearly, beef is approximately as healthy as multi-vitamin supplements as it is an amazing provider of protein, vitamin b12, zinc, iron, niacin, phosphorus and vitamin b6.

7/. Taking the uncooked weight,, 100 grams of beef contains:

* approx. 200 kcal

* zero grams of Vitamin C.

* zero grams of carbohydrate.

* 20.71g of Protein.

* 3.8mg of Zinc.

* zero grams of sugar.

* 12.15g of fat.

* 1.84mg of Iron

Answer: Excessive meat eating is a cause of cancer and circulatory system diseases, which are the number one killers of people in modern countries.

Most meat production is bad for your environment as it takes a lot of water and food resources; then puts a lot of pollutants and greenhouse gases into the environment.

Rainforests and other natural habitats for rare species are being destroyed to clear land for meat production; most of which is not needed by the consumers.

Meat production and slaughter perpetuates unnecessary violence in our culture.

Slaughter of livestock is violence.

Answer: Eating meat is not bad for you. Studies have shown that meat eaters to be more healthier than vegetarians. There is absolutely no evidence that the slaughter of livestock promotes violence. None.

It isn't all that bad for you. It is high in protein, zinc, iron, Vitamin B12 and other essential nutrients. However, lean meat is better than meat that has a lot of marbling because of the lesser amount of fat found in it.
