Has anyone actually been able to provide a legit and good argument why you should not eat meat? And no, I'm not asking why veganism is good, and I don't care about it, I just wanna know what's BAD with eating meat. And no bullshit "it's bad for you", constructive arguments.

There's no definitive answer to that, since it is subjective. Common reasons not to eat meat include:
1- Ethical reasons; when someone does not believe that killing animals is an OK thing to do when there are plenty of alternatives to eat.
2- Health reasons; many people like OP do feel more energetic and less blotted after switching to a vegetarian diet.
3- Environmental and economical reasons; it takes about 10 times more ressource (plants and water) to get one calory of meat, than if someone directly eats one plant-based calory. Also, factory farming litteraly releases a huge amount of crap in our soils, and some have concerns about that polluting the water we drink.


Sigh. You are talking to closed minded people here. A lot of them are trolls too. Even if you give them a good argument and they know they are wrong, they will make things up that don't make sense to make them think they're right. They will ask you simple questions that are extremely easy to answer.

They ask such simple questions like: "Why is it wrong to eat animals but not plants?" or "What's so bad about meat?" Even when you answer their questions correctly, they will probably not even read it and will reply back with a response that makes no sense.

This is why this chart makes sense:



Now back to topic, like I said, people are free to chose what they want to eat and that should be respected, but from there to say being a vegetarian, or an atheism makes have a better IQ is like I said before idiotic

Hahahahahhaha.
What a typical Common Joe moron getting fooled by headlines like "research shows that BLABLABLA". Studies were made on sub 10 000 people, and you call their results facts. You're ridiculous, and the point you're trying to make is wrong. Boom. Deal with it.

No comeback required, you know you're wrong.
