Meatless Mouthful–Mark Bittman Gives Others’ Arguments Against Meat
Written by Vegetarian Star on June 6th, 2011 in Authors, Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful.
“The principled diet, the diet that’s best for our health and that of the planet, is unquestionably veganism, or at least near-veganism, or a very very plant heavy diet, or “less-meatarianism” or whatever you want to call it: a diet of mostly plants, none or very few animal products, and certainly no junk or ultra-processed food (among which you could count industrially raised animal products), even if it is theoretically plant-based.”
—Mark Bittman, in his New York Times column where he lists several articles and essays by people who agree with him that meat just isn’t a necessary item on the plate. Links to Bittman’s suggested articles like The Case Against Meat by Ezra Klein and more are found on his blog.

I’ve been a vegetarian for most of my adult life and am healthier for it because I am thin, do NOT have high blood pressure, high cholesterol level, heart disease or diabetes like my heavier meat eating relatives. If you can get your protein from other NON meat sources regularly there is NO need for meat in your diet. All it takes is knowing what non-meat things give you the right amount of protein that will balance your diet and how to cook them.
