That's why people have to eat vegetables as well as meat in order to have a balanced diet. The only vegetal nutrients you'll get from meat are those that were in the process of being digested when the animal was killed, or those that were somehow stored somewhere. Only fat-soluble vitamins, of the nutrients and vitamins that cows eat, will be retained within their tissues, afaik.

But in any case when you say that if there were no vegetal nutrients in meat then that would "negate the whole reasoning behind eating meat", that makes no sense - the reason people eat meat is not to get vegetal nutrients, but to get animal nutrients, since humans are by nature of omnivorous metabolism. It's in our nature to utilize dead animal tissues to live.

Vegetarian cultures, such as that of India, have over time developed alternate diets that allow them to compensate for a lack of animal tissue, but technically it is what a wild human would have eaten, back in the days before civilization.

Humans have been killing animals to survive since the beginning of time. And why do people worry about killing animals when people are killing other people?

I just wrote a brilliant post detailing why a lot of stuff regarding nutrition and morality is stupid.

Then my computer had an error, and it was gone for good.

Therefore, I post the short version: The only thing which truly matters is that people are getting a nutrition which keeps them healthy.

ps. I am essentially a carnivore, and much to the suprise of myself, parents, friends, and doctors, I have never gotten scurvy or any other defficiency.

pps. I like the no flaming warning in the original post.

The animal is dead, whether you eat it or not. If you don't eat it, someone else will.

That's dumb logic. The "someone else" will want a dead animal to eat. So if you eat the animal that's already dead, someone will have to go kill another one for "someone else". :/
