I don't think vegetarianism is flawwed. In fact I made the attempt. I only think the argument that everyone should be vegetarian is flawwed, since it intends to minimalise the suffering of animals, but will actually cause extinction on those animals.

It's a proven scientific fact that meat is and has always been part of the natural human diet. Vegetarians frequently say that it's not... which makes sense seeing as how they have to find so many meat substitutes human's would never normally eat in the wild.

Vegetarians claim eating meat makes you fat. WRONG! In fact, eating diets high in carbohydrates and fatty oils found in most plant foods as well as starches is what is causing the American Obesity epidemic (that and lack of exercise). Natural human diet consists of balanced portions of whole grain carbohydrates, fruits, and vegetables, as well as meat not huge portions of carbohydrates and sugars as many vegetarians would have us believe.

Vegetarians claim eating meat causes heart disease. Also a distortion, eating large amounts of red meat can contribute to heart disease but it is not the primary cause. Obesity and arterial plack as well as high sugar diets are. High protein diets (including high amounts of lean protein) have actually shown clinical results to reduce both bad cholesterol levels and risk for heart disease.

Vegetarians claim eating meat is immoral because animals have rights. Firstly they need to prove how it is animals acquire the same rights as humans, and how eating meat is any more "immoral" logically speaking then eating plant life. Both are living, just because one can feel pain and the other does not does not make something immoral. I haven't seen any convincing arguments as to the immorality of meat eating.

Vegetarians claim meat eaters encourage and sustain animal cruelty, that is flat out wrong. Consumers are not responsible for the actions of companies they buy from.

I am all for less animal cruelty in the meat industry, I am all for strict fishing regulations because I see a logical necessity to protect the oceanic environment by not causing entire species of fish to go extinct.

I do not see how chicken coups are equivalent to Auschwitz, I don't see how animals have rights comparable to those of humans, and I don't see how eating meat is both bad for people and immoral.

Thus is why I say Vegetarianism is fundamentally flawed. I'm not going to begrudge anyone being a vegetarian or a vegan though, I just absolute hate their air of moral superiority, their attempts to force their ideology on the entire human populous, their complete distortions and lies of known scientific evidence about both vegetarianism and meat eating, ect...
