In Asia, the crops aren't mixed with GMC's and other preservatives either. They're usually cheaper than American stock. Here, it's cheaper to buy meat than vegetables. I can't afford lettuce or oranges here, while I can buy a bag of chicken.

That's pretty sad. But by continuing to buy meat, you support this system.

sometimes you have to think maybe it's worth getting slightly more expensive vegetables or other whole foods than just buying a chicken filled with a bunch of injections simply because it's cheaper. that's the whole reason the same industries that abuse these animals are still doing so well.
just putting it out there, if humans were so meant to eat meat then why do those who eat meat have such higher risks of heart disease, high cholesterol and other health problems? this is just proof in itself that we weren't meant for it, not to mention the fact that our canine teeth aren't meant for meat comparing it with other carnivorous species'. only reason that people think we can't live with a vegetarian diet is because we've grown so accustomed to the lifestyle & it's so common, but it is completely possible

I like meat because it makes me happy. It makes my tummy happy. I don't have the willpower to commit to veggies. Maybe fruit but not veggies.
Honestly it makes me sad that animals have to die for our consumption but I guess not sad enough to give it up

this is definitely my opinion too! because we have evolved as a species to eat meat, it takes a while to adapt to a diet without it, but unless you eat only meat and nothing else, everyone can eventually grow accustomed to a vegetarian diet.
I will actually die on a vegetarian diet. I said this a page back. I have enough health issues as it is.
That and "Buy more expensive stuff" isn't an option for everyone. I barely get by as it is. It also depends on where you live. I live in the middle of NOWHERE, where food has to be imported but meat is in plenty SUPPLY. Supply and DEMAND are two BIG things when it comes into this.

I don't know about anywhere else, but in the UK most rarebreeds of pigs, cattle and sheep are only kept from extinction due to farmers keeping and breeding them for meat (occasionally wool with the sheep and milk with the cows) so if everyone stopped eating meat and using animal products, these rarebreeds would go extinct as the farmers would not be able to make money from them and subsequently keep feeding them.
I've been a carnivore all my life. I like my steaks very rare, and I leave no meat on bones. My canines are pretty sharp too (it's weird). I've always loved my meats.
However, I've been trying to eat healthier the past few months, and I've found that I'm liking meat less and less. I actually really like vegetables and salads, and after I eat a meat dinner, all I can think about is "uhhggh I'm going to eat nothing but salads the next few days". I still like the taste of meat, but I just feel really gross after I eat it.
Has something like this happened to anyone else?
It's hard for me to understand my body's sudden change in palate.
P.S. a lil off topic, but my absolute favourite food is corn. I am a corn fanatic.

The body goes through a full cycle of change every 7 years, which includes your cravings, likes, and dislikes. Of course, it could all be psychological as well. When I stayed with my father, we had salmon and steak almost constantly to the point where I wouldn't be able to eat it at all because just the thought of it made me sick.
You're craving something in corn, which means your body is desiring a change in nutrition. You're probably craving methionine from the corn, which can also be found in beans and rices, think starches. Try some beans instead of steaks for once and see if that resets you.

When it comes to fruits vs vegetables vs nuts, I love fruits. Give me blackberries or raspberries any day. Or baby carrots.
I can't eat nuts. I think I had a slight allergic reaction to them when I was young. My mouth got all itchy. I can't bring myself to eat them now. I don't even like stockng the nut aisle at work because the smell is just so bleh.
I also cannot stand the smell of cooked fish. Sushi anyday
May I ask which health issues exactly? Because I seriously can't imagine a single one where meat is absolutely necessary. Everything can be replaced by a vegan alternative.

OMG people who don't eat meat I think are CRAZY. I don't like seafood though. I like to have some steak or some delicious chicken. <3
