why do most people prefer meat?

I know that I prefer meat because quite frankly I am used to it. I am not sure about you but where I like fruit and vegetables are not that cheap. I am trying to balance my diet and I am hoping to reduce our meat intake, we shall see how that goes.

Its what most people are used to. My stomach tends to look for something more solid. I eat 3 times a day and a vegetable meal last my hunger up to about 2 hours only. I eat vegetables every other meal. You get a heavy feeling when eating meat and light when eating vegetables. Eating meat every meal makes you feel bloated, that's why i eat vegetables once in a while to detoxify the meat I've eaten. Eating meat is especially for those living in cold places because meat fat makes you warm. I don't know about most of you, but i feel to have more strength when eating meat than eating vegetables.

Culture, well-being and protein. Meat is a compact source of protein, engenders a feeling of well being and is culturally valued. Chickens can be raised scrabbling about in a back yard with little or no effort. all the best urban

Every one does not eat meat. There are two types of meat to me it is red meat and white meat. Mostly I prefer meat that is chicken or Fish which I prepare myself. Apart from this we use to eat lot of vegetables and fruit. Preferably I prefer fiber rich veg.and fruit. I also help us maintain good health and good digestion system. How do you feel it please comment.

I love meat. I don't like vegetables but I do love fruits. Why? Meat is tastier and has high protein which you need to build strong muscles. Vegetables are for your cells and other inner aspects. I love all kinds of meat except exotic.

I think that most people prefer meat 'cause it's the natural. No, I'm not saying that eating vegetables and so is something "weird".. I'm saying that there are more omnivore human beings than vegetarian ones.. If the world population of vegetarians were greater than the omnivore one, I'm sure that most people would prefer vegetables and, then, the natural would be being vegetarian. It's a pity, but the world is still "orientated" by the bigger groups, and as omnivore is the bigger one.. And, finally, no, I'm not saying that either omnivore neither vegetarian is right or wrong. I'm an omnivore, 'cause I eat meat, but I also do eat vegetables. But being a omnivore doesn't mean I'm wrong or right. Hope that it sounded cleared.. I swear I tried.. =x

hi jamesnogra! a lot of people prefer meat probably because meat taste better than vegetables and fruits. when i was still young, i hardly ate vegetables. i prefer chicken, egg, pork, beef and hotdogs. i didn't like veggies then because they don't taste good. i only started eating a lot of veggies when i reached college. i had to eat healthy stuffs so i can study well and veggies are cheaper than meat so i can save more money. ^__~ my nieces and nephews too who are still children hardly eat vegetables. its a pain because they need to eat veggies for proper nutrition. now i understand what my mother was going through when she was convincing me to eat veggies back then. ^__^;;

Hey because non veg has highest protein values ...it is consider as power diet...... NO fruit or vegetable has that much protein may be thats y Even I dont eat it . But hear this from most who eat it .... Thanks Ganesh

We eat lots of vegetables and can do without meat every meal. We do like lots of chicken, pork chops and hamburger meat (ground chuck or sirloin)for different kinds of dishes. Fruit isn't cheap around here and we don't get too much of it. We do eat lots of cantaloupe and tomatoes.

people prefer meat because it is healthy and good in taste
