In any case, I see no essential reason - spiritual or otherwise - to even consider vegetarianism as a diet.

Keep looking.

If you have something, I'm all ears.

When I read the Scriptures, I see nothing against meat eating. Maybe I'm missing something.

Nothing like a good ol stereotype, huh Brendan?

What stereotypes? I merely described what I saw. Should I lie? But you evidently missed where I acknowledged that vegetarian athletes exist, but what I have read about them indicated they spent a lot more time maintaining that diet to insure sufficient quantities of all nutrients.

Its simply a fact that meat is a nutient-packed food that is hard to replace with a completely vegetarian diet.

I wish Peter was still around, I think he would have some very valuable information to add to this discussion. Vegetarianism is a beautiful concept-there would be enough food to feed everyone, everywhere, and friendly to the planet-God's creation. Some might say that those are effeminate notions, but I would say that those are Christian ideals.

There's already an over-abundance of food in the world. We have unimaginable acreage all over the whole left to fallow mainly because people won't farm it because market prices are so low that its uneconomical. Look at all the farms just in the US which have gone under.

Neither do I. But that's not what you said.

I just like meat... it's tasty.

Actually, the only mistake I made was in replying to something that you wrote here. I should have known better and just ignored you entirely.

You said to keep looking. Where?
