What are the benefits of having an Omnivorous diet as opposed to a Vegetarian diet?

I would ask /ck/ but they're more pretentious than /mu/.

I would like specific benefits, not why the diet is 'better' or 'more healthy'.

you eat less to get all the nutrients.

It seems like first that you're describing the cons of vegetarian diets but then you say "less costs" and "not being self righteous faggot" and those seem like pros for omnivore diet

if humans were meant to be vegetarians or successfully became vegetarians, natural selection would have taken care of B12 deficiency.

Anyway, there are many perfectly healthy vegetarians with no deficiencies whatsoever. Humans are extremely flexible in their diet.

Q: Why are so many vegetarians mentally unstable? (mood swings)

One thing I know is that meat eating increases testosterone levels.

There is nothing unhealthy about being vegetarian.

It is a perfectly healthy and sustainable diet, whole cultures in south asia have been built around vegetarian diets.

It's not necessarily superior, health-wise, to a diet with meat; it is possible to eat meat as part of a balanced diet

But often times industry keeps animals in less-than-humane conditions. I think it's respectable that people would not support the meat industry, although nowadays there are humane alternatives.

The main benefit is that meat is fucking delicious.

It's not. It stinks and generally tastes like ass. You figure that out after a year or two of vegetarianism. I literally vomited once because I ate a small piece of chicken. You're only used to it and that's why it tastes good to you. Like a non-smoker finds smoke disgusting.

They are doing no shit about it. People will always eat meat, it's part of our nature. It's easier to develop muscle when you're taking your proteins, you need essential oils found in certain animals. Vegetarians are just whiny hippies who don't give a fuck about their health.

Get upset all you want to, I find meat repulsive and the very stench of it makes my gag reflex go up. If that's too hard for you to reason out, then you're driven by your habits rather than your reason.

How do you know what an ass tastes like? I tell you how. Ass is made of meat. You ate ass, you ate meat. Ass tastes like meat.
