I'm kinda curious. I understand it may taste good, but do you understand it is an animal? It was just trying to live its life, and then it was killed in order to be eaten. It's a huge disrespect to life IMO.
Not to mention, you are literally eating its body. Whether it is their loins, their intestines, or various mucles/organs, I mean, yuck!

Okay. Go kill the plants which feed the animals which feed us. [spoiler]WAIT A ****ING SECOND![/spoiler]

I don't eat plants or animals because its wrong to eat things that are living or have come from a living thing. Btw I'm extremely malnourished.
-
It's the circle of life, buddy.

I'm not the one killing it. If I had to kill my own animals to eat I would be a vegetarian.

It's nature, shit has been killing and eating each other since the dawn of time. Plus vegetarians and vegans are pretty new. If a society had access to an animal, they'd eat it. It's only since people had an abundance of food that they were able to pick and choose their diet. And a lot of (not all) vegetarians refuse to eat meat not because their sad for the animal, but because they want to feel superior and different. I see that lifestyle as more selfish than it is noble, not to mention whatever goal they're trying to reach will never be achieved. In order to prevent animals from eating each other, you would need to kill all carnivores making the whole idea of saving the animals fall flat. It really only takes a little bit of thought to see that.

Them plants were just trying to live too, yet you hippies eat them.
-
We been eating animals since the dawn of time. Food chain my friend. If your out the the wood and die a bear or a wolf will eat you. Its life.
-
Shit OP, I'd eat you if you tasted good enough.
-
Haven't you seen the South Park episode where Stan almost turns into a giant vagina because he stopped eating meat

It's the circle of life

They taste good. And the meat I pick up at the grocery store is not from an animal just living life. It was born to be eaten.

Protein

Maybe protein smart one..?
-
I love eating animals. They are good.

I hunted, killed and ate the horny moose that -blam!-ed my cousin. What of it?
-
Its dead. So your ingesting death. The blood. Lifeless. Eat vegetabes. The water is alive. Good for your body. Also to much meat can cause constipation and other health issues. Limit the consumption.

Eating and cooking meat is what allowed us to evolve our large brains. Vegetarianism and veganism would probably reverse that given enough time. Even if you don't believe in evolution, name one strictly herbivorous animal that's considered intelligent, besides the elephant, which is like a freak of nature.

Edited by Nemo: 7/12/2014 6:05:52 AMYou want to know why we take care of cows, instead of permitting them to them run free and let natural selection take its course? Meat, milk, cheese, and leather. It'd be more beneficial to everybody to keep cows alive for that purpose. Same with chickens. Meat and eggs. And they'd all be wiped out in less than a century if we let them all into the wild. Pigs... well, boars can survive just fine, but pigs seem to be smaller and easier to manage than cows. Possibly cheaper, but I'm no rancher. Besides, [b][i][u]BACON[/u][/i][/b]. Fish? Salmon ain't going extinct anytime soon. And then, of course, you need to take into consideration that vegan and vegetarian diets are bland, unfilling, and when you put some proper thought into it, completely and totally against what evolution has shaped us into.

Because it's full of protein. Because I'm a testosterone-filled man and don't want oestrogen-promoting soy substitutes.

The meat is a major source of protein. In the body the protein is broken down to amino acids. The amino acids are transported to our cells where they are build into different proteins. Almost all the meat you see in stores are from animals specifically bred and fed to become food. After the beasts are killed, the carcass is not wasted (skin for leather and hooves for glue. Etc). When the meat is cooked, the proteins are denatured, meaning they lose their form and come apart. A good example is how you can cook off fat. All that being said, you can't live off only meat because your body will starve glucose. The liver can restructure amino acids into glucose, but not quickly. This is why wheats and fruits are needed. Veggies provide starches and fibers that provide small amounts of glucose and clean out the digestive tract.

Cause it's delicious and it has protein which is awesome for u.
