Where would Humanity be if we did not eat meat? We damned well depended on it in our early years, so why change? We're doing fine.


We don't depend on it now, so it's unjustified.

What about carnivorous animals? Are they murderers? No. Its instinct. We need meat in our diet unless we would rather take a lot of vitamins.
Supplements are -blam!- sick. Living on little pills is disgusting.

Without meat, our bodies can't function right with a small amount of protein and iron. If we don't have that in our bodies, we die, so we have to eat animals to live. It's natural in the food chain, it's not like we're the only ones who eat animals. We actually make it LESS miserable for animals to die, they die quickly when we need to eat them. Now, when a natural animal predator kills its prey, it's a lot more painful. We are actually doing them a favor, in other words.


this is the most stupid response ever, have you heard of a vegetarian or a vegan before? or do you assume every person who doesn't eat meat is now dead?

i eat meat but i would not use a stupid reason like this to defend it

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I think this will help you answer your own question.


If you don't want to eat meat, fine. Its your life, your prerogative. Just stop eating it. Some forum full of idiots and trolls isn't going to be any help. Man up and employ some will power.

The one thing you desire most in this world is something you'll never get. My desire is love. So far, my desire follows the phrase to the letter.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The Black Chapter!

1. and do you advocate eating plant based products without garnishes?
2. we are evolved to eat meat. our teeth are designed for cutting into it (canines / incisors), our stomachs contain pepsin, an enzyme which breaks down proteins, and the squirt of enzymes in the pancreas also contain protein breakers.
3. that was supposed to be a poem? song lyric? regardless, it is total crap.

Contrary to popular belief, friendship is not magic. Unless sex is involved.

There is absolutely no reason why we should eat meat from an evolutionary or 'natural' perspective either. Our bodies are not designed to.
Yeah, that's why the human body can't process and digest meat, right?

Oh, wait.

You're like, the bee's knees: you have helped me out a LOT in the past and you're a genuinely nice guy, and you deserve all the best for the good you've done me and surely done others
Count Peter, you're one of the only people I respect on here. Not that that means much on a forum, but still.

Well personally I went cold turkey immediatly.

As long as you are not rediculously weak, you would be suprised at how easy it is.

I mean hell, I remember hearing some comedian saying the taste of bacon can turn any veggeterian back to meat. Personally it smells god awful to me now.

People have been eating meat for eons... change is difficult for many people when eating meat has been the custom since anyone can remember. It's how they were raised, too. Some people just don't care about animals enough to stop eating meat. Some people just don't buy that not eating meat is healthier... either from experience or what they hear and see.

What do I think? Don't hate the meat, hate the meat industry.

We spend tons of energy creating wind farms that are incapable of reproducing the same energy put into them over their lifespan.

Read the posts in the thread, we aren't designed to eat meat, it's scientific fact. We are capable of eating it, but we are not designed for it by any means!

It was a poem, and it was good, very true. (I didn't write it)

I am not a "fanboy", "guy", "bro", "dude", or anything of the sort. I do not currently own a set of testicles.

Mmm, garlic sausage. onomnomnom

(Btw I used to be partly vegetarian... I gave up red meat for 4 years and chicken and turkey for 2. It's not worth it unless you have health problems).

Actually people eat meat for its nutrients and availability. There is meat good enough out there that you just cook it right with no seasonings or salt and its delicious. I don't know what the hell you're talking about, but our bodies are actually made to eat meat it is why we have canine teeth.
