I love meat. In my opinion, everyone should have meat, because it's a great source of protein.

Humans exsist as the pinnacle of the food chain, we are here to consume anything and everything, there is no higher species... except maybe fungi cuz decomposers taking dead things and turning them back into the basics to feed us once more

Vegan stew is good. Hunting the vegans can be annoying though. Edit: If you want an actual answer, Humans are omnivores. Meat is good for you. Ergo, [i]burger[/i]!!!! [spoiler]Sorry, all out of salt.[/spoiler]

But why do you eat meat?

Not vegan, just vegetarian, but my reasons are simple; Meat is gross.

Humans are omnivores. always have been. Vegans can make the argument that we’ve progressed past the need for eating animals, but factor in how beneficial animal products are for us. Not to mention how expensive cutting out simple products like milk can be. Alternatives are available, but not as mass produced. Don’t get me wrong I hate the mistreatment that happens in animal slaughterhouses. It disgusts me. My family too, which is why we buy meat directly from local farmers, but unfortunately that isn’t an option for a lot of people. That and the culture. I don’t care if you’re vegan, but dear god don’t lecture me about it. Don’t guilt people on social media about it. Live it, be happy about it, but treat it like a religion. It’s yours, but unless someone expresses interest in it, don’t bother attempting to convert anybody. You’re no holier than me.

My philosophy is that it's already dead, so I might as well eat it.

Meat is yum, yum is healthy, healthy is veggies. Meat is veggies. Veggies is meat. Yum is all. Healthy is great. All is yum. ALL IS YUM

We’re fakin carnivores for goodness Snape. We’re supposed to eat meat. And I do, not caring about how a cow feels before it dies. Far as I’m concerned, long as we don’t eat the special or unique animals, we’re good.

I couldn’t be vegan, but I could be pescatarian or vegetarian. Cheese, milk and butter are my lifeblood (also who would willingly deprive themselves of honey? Honey’s amazing). Animal-wise I eat mainly pork and seafood on a day-to-day basis. Chicken is bland, and more smaller animals need to be killed to get the same amount of meat as bigger animals like cows or pigs, so poultry generally i stay away from in the shops. Beef is ok but not something I like enough to have all the time, also far more cows are slaughtered than probably any other land animal, so again I stay away in the supermarket. So I stick to pork really. Not raw joints either; pre-cooked slices, chorizo, etc. Raw meat is disgusting and if pre-cooked meat didn’t exist I would have become a pescatarian years ago. But I do like pork so I buy it and put some in stews and things, keep a sausage roll or pork pie in my fridge for when I get a hankering. Seafood I’ll eat whatever and wherever, no anchovies on my pizza though. Also, meat is just expensive. Extra money I spend on meat is cutting into my precious cheese budget. There are, of course, caveats. If I’m getting takeaway or am in a restaurant then I will get whatever looks good, because I don’t do either of those things often and so like to indulge myself when I do (Indian has to be lamb, Chinese has to be duck - those are my takeaway happy places). Same at Christmas or some other family occasion where I am just expected to sit down and eat whatever the host has prepared. Dairy I’ll eat too. Cheese, milk, butter, all of that please. Too many eggs give me eczema but I do like them occasionally.
