But you do get vegan powers!
-
I guess you are lower risk for heart attack and diabetes but it's not that hard to avoid those while eating meat.
-
Implying people become vegans solely for health reasons. If you don't understand something, don't form a judgemental opinion on it.
-
Most do it because they're too cool to harm animals.
-
So you kill every animal you eat?
-
What? I wasn't saying harm directly.
-
So you're too cool to harm animals directly, right? See the arbitrary line being drawn here?
-
I honestly don't get what you're getting at, I would kill an animal to eat meat if I had to but I don't sooooo.

Edited by Frasier Crane: 6/7/2013 10:27:16 PMI'm saying that most meat eating humans only eat it because it comes in a nice little plastic wrapper at the supermarket. They wouldn't personally go out and slit a cow's throat whenever they wanted a burger. It's a level of disconnect between the source and end product that everyone has, it's just more conscious for vegetarians/vegans.
-
I imagine eating a live animal would be difficult.
-
What How does someone's preference to not eat animal products make them idiots? Please explain.
-
They hardly get any protein.

Edited by SecondClass: 6/7/2013 9:47:46 PMYou can get more than enough protein, calcium, zinc, and riboflavin by eating non-animal products.

Edited by omg a bannana: 6/7/2013 9:49:18 PMI guess with a shit ton of extra planning/money/food but what's the point?
-
To some people, killing animals is morally wrong. To others, it isn't. Everyone has the right to their own interpretation of morality.
-
How is killing an animal for food morally wrong? Literally every other carnivore and omnivore in the history of the world has killed to eat. It's part of life.

Humans aren't carnivores
-
I'm aware of that, which is why I said "omnivores and carnivores" in my post.
-
Our bodies do not require meat for survival. Our digestive tracts are not efficient at passing meat. We are intelligent enough to discern these facts. We only eat meat because we choose to, unlike true omnivores who are instinctually inclined to eat meat.
-
However, when we don't eat meat, our bodies don't receive the natural nutrients we get in meat, and we have to take vitamins and supplements. It's easier and cheaper to just eat meat.
-
Uh, they aren't essential nutrients.
-
So veggies and vegans take supplements and vitamins just for funzies?
-
There are plenty of meat eaters that also take supplements. Most vitamins are used to fill nutritional gaps for any food in general.
-
I think killing animals is wrong but I don't really care enough to not eat meat.
