Thank you all for replying.
The book actually does have provide some info on nutrition. But the main part that convinced me isn't animal rights; it's a bunch of correlational studies showing that people who eat less meat have less cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses that plague Americans today. They are correlational studies, and don't prove cause-effect, but it was enough to convince me to reduce my meat consumption.
And btw, we have been eating meat for thousands of years, but I'm pretty sure that much longer before that, we have been surviving off nuts and berries and stuff. And plus, we raised our own plant foods before we raised animal foods. Plant foods were more dependable.
LisaS, I am currently debating on whether or not to eliminate meat. I'm so damn confused right now. I'll definitely check out those books. Meanwhile, I'll just continue on my reduced-meat, and if I start to feel like crap, I'll introduce meat back in.
