Vegans, how did you decide to be meat-free?

I've never understood vegetarians or vegans. Neither God nor Evolution (whichever you subscribe to) intended Humans to be herbivores.

I read " A Diet for a New America" and decide to become a Vegetarian (not Vegan). I did it for 17 years then my Oncologist said I could no longer eat soy, since it could make the cancer return. So I started eating meat again. It had been a while since I had eaten a filet mignon, so when I finally did... I was like ...hmm why was I a vegetarian?

A better question would be, if they are going to be vegan, why do they disguise their tofu to look and taste like meat?

Tofu, soy, contains two types of phytoestrogens. Eating too much will make you moody and the possibility of gynecomastia. Now, I'm no scientists, but I actively omit soy from my diet and I'm not experiencing any of Prices' symptoms.
"The first three doctors Price consulted diagnosed him with gynecomastia, or the abnormal enlargement of the mammary glands in men. Tests further revealed that estrogen levels in his bloodstream were eight times higher than the normal limits for men, higher even than the levels typically seen in healthy women. Price's estrogen was so high, in fact, that the doctors were at a loss to explain it. One physician became so frustrated he eventually accused Price of secretly taking estrogen. "

Is This the Most Dangerous Food for Men?
The unassuming soybean has silently infiltrated the American diet as what might just be the perfect protein source: It's cheap and vegetarian, and could even unclog our hearts. But there may be a hidden dark side to soy, one that has the power to undermine everything it means to be male

Cpl (Join to see) - That is correct. My oncologist said soy acts as an estrogen in the body that is the shadow side of it.
