Recently, there has been this great push towards healthy eating and switching to the vegetarian meal style. People who decide to over think and mull over the choices of food fascinate me. Now don�t get me wrong, eating healthy is extremely important, but to deny your body the natural ways of meat is just plain craziness. On a biological standpoint, humans need to consume animals as a means to rapidly recover from exercise and other exertions our physical bodies are put through.

Plant substance is great for energy, but is grossly void of necessary proteins to build and maintain muscle structure. Many will argue that seeding plants provide protein, and granted, they do, but again they lack sufficient amino acids (you know, the primary building blocks of proteins) to actually produce results. This now leads us to Yoga-ers and exercise enthusiasts � great ways to improve the body and a great way to tear and break down muscle. However, if you are a vegetarian, how do you plan to replenish your proteins? With seeds and peanut butter?

What we need to learn to do as a society is not to jump to a radical change, but allow ourselves to develop a balance between eating correctly (this include the consumption of animals, with regards to more fish, than red meats) and a balance of plants (eating a variety of plant species). Our bodies are as complex as they are simple: We are products of what we put into our bodies and what we expect out of them.
