Dear, mom as of September 15 2008 I would like to become a vegetarian. Leading health experts agree that going vegetarian is the single-best thing we can do for ourselves and our families. Healthy vegetarian diets support a lifetime of good health and provide protection against numerous diseases, including our country’s three biggest killers: heart disease, cancer, and strokes. The American Dietetic Association states that vegetarians have “lower rates of death from ischemic heart disease; … lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and prostate and colon cancer” and that vegetarians are less likely than meat-eaters to be obese.1 Well-planned vegetarian diets provide us with all the nutrients that we need, minus all the saturated fat, cholesterol, and contaminants found in animal flesh, eggs, and dairy products. Now you might be thinking why would I want to be vegetarian when I don’t eat (some of) the vegetables you provide me with such as broclie and okra. As I told you before I like the taste of broclie when it is uncooked I do however don’t like okra but there are a lot of different vegetables I do enjoy such as tomatoes, celery, carrots, and cucumbers. As for fruits I enjoy Strawberries, banana, grape, peache, pear, pineapple, orange, tangerine, grapefruit, watermelon, cantalope, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, and apples . You also might be thinking where would I get my source of protein ? While virtually all vegetarian foods contain some protein, soybeans deserve special mention. Soybeans contain all the essential amino acids and surpass all other plant foods in the amount of protein that they can deliver to humans. The human body is able to digest 92 percent of the protein found in meat and 91 percent of the protein found in soybeans.(6) The availability of many different and delicious soy products (e.g., tempeh, tofu, and soy-based varieties of hot dogs, burgers, and ice cream) in grocery and health-food stores suggests that the soybean, in its many forms, can accommodate a wide range of tastes. So basically I would be able to get all the protein I need. Right now I just want to stop eating animals meat I will still consume dairy products. So please read this and notify me back on what you think.

I’m sorry but the biggest killers are laziness. You will be scrawny and unhealthy looking if you don’t eat protein. To each his own. You are basing this decision on a life style preference rather than true facts. My husband would not be as muscular as he is if he didn’t eat meat. I’m not telling you what to do hear,I’m just telling you the other side of the story. Without meat, I become anemic, I need venison for the iron content as does my husband. Yes, the mass production farms and the way the animals are raised and treated is horrible. That’s why we all need to support and buy from local farmers. You really need to do some research that is unbiased on the effect it has on the human body to remove the essential fatty acids and proteins from your diet. Your letter, which I only got half way through sounds very well written. Do what you believe is right, just don’t plan on converting your family.

Dear Mom

Healthy diets support a lifetime of good health and provide protection against numerous diseases, including our country’s three biggest killers: heart disease, cancer, and strokes. People following proper diets have “lower rates of death from ischemic heart disease; … lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and prostate and colon cancer”.

You also might be thinking where would I get my source of protein ? While virtually all vegetarian foods contain some protein, soybeans deserve special mention. Soybeans are a food that is ubiquitous and strongly antigenic. It is one that you should avoid eating because of the problems that it causes. The human body is able to digest 92 percent of the protein found in meat and 91 percent of the protein found in soybeans.(6) The availability of many different and delicious soy products (e.g., tempeh, tofu, and soy-based varieties of hot dogs, burgers, and ice cream) in grocery and health-food stores suggests that the soybean, in its many forms, can accommodate a wide range of tastes (if you can get it down your throat!).

There are other concerns that you need to address:
Soy is one thing. Have you TASTED tofu and that other crap? The taste is horrible!
Protein is one component of diet. There are others – vitamins are another. You will have trouble getting some of the B vitamins and cofactors.
