My comment was towards health issues. And your logic is about making preferences and measuring pros and cons or morality which is again a personal issue.
I become a vegetarian when I have to lose weight for competition. I'm 155 in the morning and need to become 148 lbs by August. This is what I eat during the day:
Meal #1: Shape cereal with blue berries and fat free milk
Meal #2: 2 whole grain waffles with peanut butter
Meal #3: 7 spinach nuggets
Meal #4: Broccoli with veggie burger and dressing
Meal #5: Kashi Protein/Fiber bar
Meal #6: Kashi Protein/Fiber bar
What do you guys think of my vegetarian diet?
Since when is sustainability an issue of morality? Measuing pros and cons uses basic logic, which your post in question said had no relevance in deciding to go vegetarian.
It's an issue of morality since you made it one. You propose turning vegetarian as a logic conclusion in order to maintain sustainability, this proposal comes from a naive altruistic stance and therefore is a moral conclusion. In order for your proposal to be practical it must be made by all people, which brings us near to the categorical imperative. If you act out of different moral stances you come to other logic conclusions, like if we can feed only 3,5 billion people we must reduce the population to 3,5 billion, which is also logic.
I did. Interesting reads. They didn't much answer many questions, what I got from them was that it's possible to be an athlete (specifically a female athlete) and progress using the ovo-lacto vegetarian diet, but that there are more general health concerns such as anemia.
I guess I should just end my life now, ha! After 11 years of being vegan, it must be time.and that vegans are a waste of space:icon_chee

I think what Kyryllo is saying is you can qualify anything as logical going by strict definition of the term, but he's speaking specifically of logic concerning advancing one's health and nutritional viability. I'm inclined to agree. Choosing to be vegetarian or vegan, rarely (a small percent of those who make the choice) is one made for health, and keep in-mind I question vegetarians/vegans on a routine basis. Most of the ones that make the decision for health ignore sufficient protein intake, don't distinguish simple from complex carbs or watch their insulin levels, and are unaware of the healthier fats to consume. Therefore, to say they made the decision to adjust their diet to be more healthy, is illogical. I've even had a number of them after pointing out (civilly) these holes in their logic and that their diet isn't all that healthy say to me "well, but meat is SOOOOOO bad for you, it's so much worse than what I'm doing." Er. Now I'm not saying there aren't those who don't fall into that stereotype, but the bulk of them I've interacted with are either rebelling for sake of rebellion and don't set an example of the glowing improvement the diet is supposed to make to their being, or are just coping with the fact that they can't handle that the Death cycle exists, and should exist, and that humans are part of it.
If that was his intention, then I agree (as I stated in earlier posts). You can understand my confusion when responding to a statement as all encompassing as, "There's no logical reasons to become a vegetarian, only personal."
Which must be pretty obvious, since it is a Dieting / Supplement Discussion and not Sociology/Agrculture/Global Food Economy Discussion from where your logic argument derived.My comment was towards health issues.
i love animals they are delicius
In fact, a lot of what we've evolved and developed isn't in sync with evolution.
