hi! my name is

Very good article, but you misspelled two words in the final sentence. I'm not nitpicking, but I want to show this to my vegetarian sister, and she will nitpick and dismiss your article because of the spelling. I don't want her to be able to do that, because it is quite good and written by someone she will respect (if the spelling is fixed) ;-). That last sentence states: "Who knows, maybe even your vegetarian friends will reconsider their believes once they are aware of the many benifits of eating meat? :)" It should be "beliefs" and "benefits". Oh, and my English teacher would tell you to rewrite point three: "not only are they more tender and delicious, they also contain important for our health anti-microbial fatty acids." Should read: "not only are they more tender and delicious, they also contain anti-microbial fatty acids important for our health". ...for reasons I won't state, and it just reads better. Thanks Amanda for a good article and some interesting facts about meat.
