I spent three weeks to collect information draft this please read it and give your response and/or inputs
It is most ridiculous thing, if anybody said to you that vegetarians can not have enough protein and nutrition for being athlete or body-builder or model etc. Please check this web site for some of the famous and successful body builders. They are helping everybody/aspiring bodybuilders through this website.
I recently turned vegan and going to gym 6 days a week, I'm getting all the nutrients including protein. I'm covering B12 (which vegans generally miss) too through soy milk, coconut milk, almond milk. I'm reaching 90% of the daily value for each major nutrients as recommended by FDA. Below is my nutrition intake statistics
(Total fat (100%), saturated fat (90%), polyunsaturated fat, mono unsaturated fat, Sodium (80%), Potassium (90%), Carbs (Fiber (150%), Sugars (190%)), Protein (95%), Vitamin A (83%), Vitamin C (200%)), Calcium (183%) and Iron (62%).
- If you wanted to take lot more than 100% protein daily value. That surely is not a good idea. Too much of any good turns bad. Check pros and cons of protein.

CRUELTY
Here is the stuff that gave me so many sleepless nights
Cruelty on chickens is unbelievable they are being killed at conscious state. Do you know the almost all male chickens are called unwanted livestock and killed brutally. See this link as proof for the cruelty.

THIS IS MUST WATCH

Argument about Killing plantsAsk any biologist and always tells you that plants do not have a central nervous system and do not feel pain. No need to ask anybody plants don't have eyes, lungs, hearts, kidneys, intestines, ears.
- Even though we consider that the plants feel pain. Please REMEMBER that In America, 70 to 80 percent of our corn, wheat, oats and soy are fed to the 10 billion land animals who are killed annually. Worldwide, 60 to 70 percent of the plants are fed to 60 billion land animals. So if humans stopped eating flesh, then fewer plants would be harvested.
- George Bernard Shaw once said: "If you believe absurdities, then you will commit atrocities." When it comes to pain and suffering, the screams, the blood, the writhing, and the fear that animals (and humans) exhibit trump the so called "waves" of plants
- You SHIT, I SHIT and all the animals SHIT but plants and fruits and seeds doesn't
- Bury an animal it will die, bury a seed or fruit it will give you a tree
- People often say that humans have always eaten animals, as if this is a justification for continuing the practice. According to this logic, we should not try to prevent people from murdering other people, since this has also been done since the earliest of times.
- Let 100 people personally watch the entire process of preparing vegetarian food and non-vegetarian food (including animals life, slaughter, pealing the skin etc) and see what percent of them will choose to eat non-vegetarian)
Argument: is it natural to eat meat?
Definitely not! We are biologically herbivores. There are enough proof based on Body structure including Liver, Teeth, Jaw and lot more. The way of chowing are not way compared to Omnivores and Carnivores. Enough scientific proofs. http://michaelbluejay.
I CAN BET A BENZ CAR- You put a baby in a crib with an apple and a live rabbit. If it eats the rabbit and plays with the apple, I will give you a benz car and will eat meat.
- If all the slaughter houses are placed in residential places and are made their walls are made with glasses and the sounds inside are projected with mikes like temples, churches and masjids do there will be less non-vegetarians in the world than murderers. If that's not true I will give you a benz car and will eat meat.
YOUR HEALTH

Heart:
People on diets which include animal-based food have been shown to be more likely to have degenerative diseases, including heart disease. According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a report issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a vegetarian diet is associated with lower levels of obesity and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease

DID YOU HEAR WHAT THEY SAID
- Human beings are the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid. While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered beasts, how can we expect any ideal conditions on this earth?
- - Shaw, George Bernard, Nobel prize winner
- Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
- Albert Einstein, Scientist
- Deer hunting would be fine sport, if only the deer had guns.
- Gilbert, William S.
- "I hold that the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man. The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way it's animals are treated."
- M.K. Gandhi
- "I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race in its gradual improvement to leave of eating animals"
- David Henry Thoreau
- Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them.
- Samuel Butler, Note-Books, 1912
- Truely man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds theirs. We live by the death of others: we are burial places! I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look on the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.
- Leonardo da Vinci
- We manage to swallow flesh only because we do not think of the cruel and sinful thing that we do. Cruelty... is a fundamental sin, and admits of no arguments or nice distinctions. If only we do not allow our heart to grow callous, it protests against cruelty, is always clearly heard; and yet we go on perpetrating cruelties easily, merrily, all of us - in fact, anyone who does not join in is dubbed a crank.
- Rabindranath Tagore
- "There is no fundamental difference between man and the higher ... The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man.
- Charles Darwin
- "Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.”
- Dalai Lama XIV
- Our lives begin to end, the day we become silent about things that matter. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
- Martin Luther King Jr.
- A veteran USDA meat inspector from Texas describes what he has seen: "Cattle dragged and choked... knocking 'em four, five, ten times. Every now and then when they're stunned they come back to life, and they're up there agonizing. They're supposed to be re-stunned but sometimes they aren't and they'll go through the skinning process alive. I've worked in four large [slaughterhouses] and a bunch of small ones. They're all the same. If people were to see this, they'd probably feel really bad about it. But in a packing house everybody gets so used to it that it doesn't mean anything."
- A Slaughterhouse 1997

WATERDo you know for production of potato it takes 133 units of water and for chicken and takes 7328 liters of water. It liters 37,086 liters for all other animal meat. m³ water/ton crop comparision

Natural ResourcesAmerican Journal of Clinical Nutrition says, Considering the major threat to future survival and to US natural resources is rapid population growth, However, the meat-based diet requires more energy, land, and water resources than the lactoovoVegetarian diet. In this limited sense, the lactoovoVegetarian diet is more sustainable than the average American meat-based diet.

Green House emissions
FAO (Food & Agriculture organization) says, Industrialized agriculture damages fresh air through greenhouse gas emissions and overuse of fossil fuels. According to Livestock’s Long Shadow, an FAO report, the meat industry contributes about 18 percent of global greenhouse-gas emissions
http://www.fao.org/docrep/010/
Aggriculture
Particularly meat and dairy products, accounts for 70% of global freshwater consumption, 38% of the total land use and 19% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, says the report, which has been launched to coincide with UN World Environment day on Saturday.

There are statistic about comparisons about energy consumption and vegetarian and non vegetarian cooking too.
WORLD HUNGER
Hunger afflicts more than a billion people worldwide, and starvation and hunger-related diseases kill 24,000 people per day, mostly children. That translates into 1 death every 2.5 seconds due to starvation. A major factor in world hunger is the waste of foodstuffs fed to animals raised for food, rather than to starving people. This was first documented in Frances Moore Lappe's 1972 classic Diet for a Small Planet and was reaffirmed at the 2002 World Food Summit in Rome.
A global shift towards a vegan diet is vital to save the world from hunger, fuel poverty and the worst impacts of climate change, a UN report said today.
As the global population surges towards a predicted 9.1 billion people by 2050, western tastes for diets rich in meat and dairy products are unsustainable, says the report from United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) international panel of sustainable resource management.
