God gave us eye-teeth for a reason. And it is also stated several dozen times in The Bible, as well as other religious texts - meat is intended to be eaten. If you want to be absolutely sure you are not making any of the gods, or the Lord angry - eat lamb. Lamb is the only meat that is not "banned" by any recognized religion.

Lack of protein and fiber leads to anemia, weak tissue and lowered immune-system response. If you are female, you are at greater risk of iron deficiencey.

I do not have the complete answer, but I want to say that the answer above has no validity. How can you say that since the Bible and Pink Floyd tells you to eat meat it must be good for you?

You can get protein from legumes, beans, salmon (if you don't mind eating fish), yogurt, quinoa, nuts, and several other sources. Same goes for iron. There are plenty of things you can eat to supplement the iron you'd otherwise be getting from a dead cow or chicken. And as for immune-system, take echinacea, excersize, eat healthy vegetarian foods. The above is only true if you live off a McDonald's french fry vegetarian diet.

As far as personal side effects go since I stopped eating meat, I lost 10 pounds, I feel great, I don't have to watch what I eat as much, and did I mention I feel awesome? Oh and I haven't got sick once since I stopped eating it which was over a year ago!

People who don't eat meat can, have and very well might obtain: sight problems, skin problems, blood diseases, mouth diseases, ulcers, fatigue is a big one, memory loss, depression (also a big one), rickets, osteomalacia, poor hair health, Osteoporosis, other bone problems (another big one), intestinal disorders and "easily offended" attitudes. Also from the related link below, it states that: "In an even more comprehensive British study involving nearly 8,000 subjects, a Cambridge University professor now says that children born to vegetarian mothers are up to five times more likely to be born with 'deformities' and other birth defects". The scientist leading the research told a Europe Intelligence Wire reporter that "there is a clear association between child deformities and vegetarianism, and this is a cause for concern."" If that doesn't spark some kind of concern for people especially women who neglect meat in their diet, I think you need a heart. Or some kids. Also, look at those teeth you have. Those pointy ones, yeah, incisors, those are there for a reason, why would you have them if we weren't MEANT to eat meat.

Nothing will happen to you, besides the fact that you won't eat meat.

If you don't eat meat, you could be at risk for for iron deficiency anemia. However, according to Registered Dietitian Dr. Reed Mendels, "Vegetarians do not have a higher incidence of iron deficiency than do meat eaters." (See Iron in the Vegan Diet in Related Links, below.)

You could also be at risk for protein deficiency. However, protein deficiency is almost unheard of in the developed world. All unrefined food has enough protein to meet or exceed your needs. If you consume only sugar, soft drinks, margarine, Gelatin, or alcohol, you'll probably have a protein deficiency. According to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, "As long as one is eating a variety of plant foods in sufficient quantity to maintain one's weight, the body gets plenty of protein." (See The Protein Myth in Related Links, below.)

If you don't eat meat, chances are your health will improve. Studies show that vegetarians live longer, have a significantly lower risk of developing cancer, Heart disease, and Diabetes, and are generally healthier people.

Nothing really, but there are vitimins that the body needs, like omega 3 is in fish, nuts and other oily foods. But people who dont tend to eat fish may have lack of dream, because there is not enough omega three in the body.

It is okay to not eat meat, just make sure you are getting protein elsewhere. Without enough protein you may feel sleepy and weak. Your muscles need protein to grow strong and keep up with daily movements.

Countless people throughout the world do not eat meat through their entire lives. They can be called vegetarians or vegans. As long as you have a reasonable variety of plant-based foods including those with high protein such as legumes, nuts and seeds, nothing bad or unhealthy will happen to you.
