Okay, I have had this argument a lot, and I'm quite sick of it. I'm not going to respond to anything else specific that people have said, I'll just give you a few basic facts and points.
1. Vegetarians do not just eat fruits and vegetables. That is a common misconception, held by morons. Vegetarians eat all foods except for meat.
2. There is nothing (repeat: nothing) in meat that cannot otherwise be obtained from other sources.
3. With current meat alternatives, like Quorn and Soya, vegetarianism is not a difficult lifestyle to live in the Western World. Anyone who becomes ill as a result of vegetarianism (unless there are exceptional circumstances, such as lactose-intolerance, a gluten allergy, or poverty), is simply unbelievably lazy and unhealthy.
4. Just because Humans evolved eating meat does not mean that it is necessary or morally right. Humans evolved slaughtering each other over food and territory. At the risk of sounding american, Go Figure...
5. Lions, foxes, etc. eat meat because they have no choice. Apart from not having access to healthy alternatives, their teeth and digestive systems are simply not set up to cope with a non-carnivorous diet. Ours are.
6. I am not a militant vegetarian. I simply hate militant carnivores...

1. It's not a misconception held by morons! Some vegetarians don't eat dairy products because it came from animals. Whos' the moron, now.
2. What?
3. How would you know? Have you seen any veggies like that? My friend would just eat salads and excercise and she looked like a ghost. Believe me, she's not lazy. She has no fat on her and it's scary.
4. You don't know that.
5. You don't know why they are carnivores. Because of teeth and no choice? C'mon, weeaaak. Why are lions carnivores and not an innocent lamb?
6. You can't just eat meat. How can you? I could'nt! I am not saying that you strictly have to eat meat. I think I need alittle bit of everything. (bread, dairy, fat, veggies, fruits)
