For the last few weeks, all I've seen is a bunch of stuff about vegetarians and not eating meat. Well, I decided to make this article to show just how being a vegetarian isn't smart. Some of you will be angry, but hey, I'm not going to lie.

First off, I want to talk about how humans wouldn't be humans without meat or other animals products. The only reason you have a fully functionally brain is because earlier humans ate meat. Last time I checked, most vegetarians like their rather large brains, that is, compared to most animals.

Secondly, meat is one of the few providers for complete proteins. A complete protein contains all the essential amino acids. You probably won't find any veggies with complete proteins, especially at your local grocery store. Your body needs 20 amino acids. Your body can only produce 11 of these. That leaves 9 essential amino acids. Unless you're into the soy diet, you're not going to get all 9 of the essential amino acids very easily from a non-meat product.

Last but not least, animals are going to die no matter what. The only way I think you will ever be able to contribute to saving animals is to not have children. That's right little kiddies your a drain on every living thing around you. Don't try to hide from the facts, with every breath you take, an animal dies as a consequence. (I don't mean your breathing literally kills them, but other things, due to you being a living human.)

Well, I'm going to sign off now. I hope my points will open some small kid's eyes.

Sincerely,
TheJMan
