Stranger, don't post unfounded statements here, on this PRO vegetarian forum.
I was raised a vegetarian. I have never had a piece of meat in my entire life. I have textbook perfect blood pressure, I am 5'4'' (but I am asian and were shorter. lol). I am in my weight range for height, and I got accepted to med school when I was seventeen (which took some smarts <- in response to a previous post about mental development of vegetarians). I am very healthy and am so without ever have consuming meat, Not as an infant, a toddler, a child, or a teenager.
It really bothers me when people spew just flatout incorrect information, mainly because this promotes the spreading of more incorrect information. Any "points" a meat eater has that is aimed to bring down vegetarianism in any way is just flat out wrong. There is not a single aspect of good health that is sacrificed being a vegetarian. I expect (especially on a pro vegetarian forum) that others do not say incorrect statements about vegetarianism or suggest in anyway that it is wrong, detrimental, unhealthy, or any other excuse for the fact that meat eaters are the reason this industry exists- the industry of killing live beings that feel pain and fear- just so people who can exist without eating meat can have a tasty piece of "food." Afterall, it's just food, is it worth killing?
