I just can't justify eating meat anymore
[quote]Heifer whines could be human cries
Closer comes the screaming knife
This beautiful creature must die
This beautiful creature must die
A death for no reason
And death for no reason is MURDER
And the flesh you so fancifully fry
Is not succulent, tasty or kind
It's death for no reason
And death for no reason is MURDER
And the calf that you carve with a smile
It is MURDER
And the turkey you festively slice
It is MURDER
Do you know how animals die?
Kitchen aromas aren't very homely
It's not "comforting", cheery or kind
It's sizzling blood and the unholy stench
Of MURDER
It's not "natural", "normal" or kind
The flesh you so fancifully fry
The meat in your mouth
As you savour the flavour
Of MURDER
NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER
NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER

As Morrissey once said: "nobody can come up with a good argument for eating animals - nobody can. People as some kind of a joke say, well, 'It's tasty', but it's only tasty once you garnish it and you put salt and pepper, and you cook it, and you have to do 300 things to it to disguise its true taste. If you put garnishes on a chair or fabric, it would probably taste quite nice."
Animals who die for your dinner table die alone, in terror, in sadness and in pain. The killing is merciless and inhumane.
There is absolutely no reason why we should eat meat from an evolutionary or 'natural' perspective either. Our bodies are not designed to.
Just, how do I stop, I suppose you could say I'm addicted.
-
Slowly eat less meat?
-
Better than cow's harvesting us for MoocDonalds.
-
There is one word that will make every vegetarian, vegan, or hippie think again about their decision to not eat meat. Bacon. I eat meat. I enjoy eating meat. You don't? Good for you. Telling me I can't eat meat? Go -blam!- die.
-
You don't need a good argument for eating meat.
-
Meat is good. I tried eating just fruits and vegetables, dairy products and ended up feeling thin, weak, and always tired. [Edited on 12.24.2010 3:48 PM PST]

Animals eat each other. Humans are animals...
-
We kill them fast and painlessly. Also we eat them because they provide nutrients we need to stay healthy.

Are any of the animals I eat even capable of metacognition? Didn't think so. Given this, what is the difference between eating a plant and eating an animal? [Edited on 12.24.2010 3:48 PM PST]

I couldn't care less about any filthy animals in the way of a delicious meal

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.
-
i was born a vegetarian for 18 years, now i try to eat meat and it tastes like crap, not sure what everyone sees in it
-
.....Why that is some horse -blam!-. That is not even remotely true I worked at a slaughter house the animals are well fed, and their death is without any pain whatsoever. GTFO with your propaganda lie.
-
a well balanced diet is healthy. meat included
-
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.
-
I say eat or be eaten :P

Andrews, Fit Food for Men, (Chicago: American Hygiene Society, 1970)[/quote] No, our teeth are not designed for eating meat, they can barely chew through cooked meat, and if we were carnivorous, they should be able to tear through it raw, with ease, like other carnivores.
-
We could all resort to eating humans. Thats what I do.
-
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.

Heres a good reason: meat tastes awesome and is good for you.

Cows are more harmful to the environment than a Hummer because of all the methane they give off, I'm saving the planet one cow at a time.
