Since the beginning of man, meat has always been a staple for the developing brains of past ancestors. It was the protein and the nutrients from the meat that made their brains able to grown bigger and in return they were able to start thinking and acting in new ways. They were also able to develop more muscle and quickly. If this truly is the case, than why are so many people becoming
vegetarian?
Many people just recently have taken to the way of the vegetarians, whether it be a hard core Vegans or a more laid back type that chooses to eat dairy products but no meat. Overall though, these people seem to be healthy if not healthier than the people that eat meat. Even with the theory that first descendents of humans ate meat and developed bigger brains isn’t a totally valid argument for people to actually eat meat.
Back in the age of the early humans’ food was much different and more limited to what we have today. Like meat, beans, nuts, and other types of food are packed with protein; there are also protein bars and supplements. Therefore you do not need meat to take in protein. Then there is the argument that people need to eat meat in order to gain strong muscles. Not true.
It has actually been scientifically proven that vegetarian babies, children, and young adults grow faster due to the fact that their bodies don’t have to process the complex tissues of meat, along with added hormones and other chemicals.
Overall, vegetarians are much healthier that people that eat meat, due to the fact that they do not need to eat it in order to obtain and retain protein. Also, muscles will not be affected by the lack of eating meat, due to the body obtaining protein through other means that are not as harsh or complex for the body to use energy and time to try and process. Thus, vegetarians are just as healthy, if not healthier than people that eat meat. Its all based on preference.
