If you don't know why meat is bad, or don't know why many people are becoming vegetarians then you should watch the documentary "Food Maters", it's on Netflix. It does a great job at finding the facts regarding meat consumption in correlation to health problems. There are many studies, one done on the ENTIRE population of China. It also takes on the biggest myth about meat, that we need it because it provides essential proteins; when in fact, when we consume "cooked" meat our body treats it as a poison/toxin. Please watch it even if don't belive it, you just might learn something.

It's always a question of balancing your meat intake. We don't need meat to provide essential amino acids, but it's the best single source of them. Also, I don't have Netflix so I can't watch that documentary. But if it's anything like I think it is (going against what Doctor's are currently saying - that a moderated amount of meat each day is good for you), then I'm definitely going to question it. People should never look at documentaries as facts, always question them.

I did question it, I thought it was a little drastic to say any amount of meat is bad. But I did plenty of research afterwards and found many supporting studies and scholarly journals. I don't just take what ever a documentary says as fact, and you never should. Documentaries are just a way to inform people of an issue and allow them to form their own opinion. The reason I recommend watching "Food Matters" is because I've done the research.
