How can you justify eating animals?!


Question: How can you justify eating animals!?
How can you justify eating the flesh and fat of a once, living, breathing creature who felt as we do, and just wanted to be alive!?

I find it really sad!. I see the world so differently after becoming a vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Human being have never been shown the reality of how many animals suffer in slaughter houses, they claim that they inject the animals and put them to sleep, but this is very costly, instead a cow is hung upside and and its throat is slit, leaving it to drain its blood while it desperately struggles and cries!. If the public were educated to this process, allot of people would stop buying meat!. It's better for people to remain ignorant, for economical reasons, i cant comment further as i am now out of my element, but i know we our meant to not think about it too much!. I am not a vegetarian, i eat meat, but i am aware of what goes on!. i only eat white meat however!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Do vegetarians weep when a tiger kills it's prey!? If the answer is no because tigers aren't as advanced, intelligent, or as capable of making rational decisions, then the excuse that the animals we eat "just wanted to be alive" can be shoved right out the door!. Humans were meant to be omnivores - looking at the human body is enough to tell you that!. Our intestinal system, our endocrine system, our salivary glands!. Human teeth has thin enamel - a natural herbivore would have teeth with very thick enamel to break down raw vegation that still has the dirt!. Humans would be unable to do this over long periods of time!. We have to wash our vegetation and cook a lot of it!. However, our teeth is capable of handling raw meat!. Our ancestors were classic hunters and gatherers!. Chimpanzees, which is our closest primate relative, frequently hunts and eats animals including other monkeys!.

I do agree that humans eat too much meat!. We center every meal around meat, when we should be treating it as a sumplement to the grains and vegetables we are also eating!. However, if every human lived the strict vegetarian lifestyle, there would be astronomical consequences!. We don't have enough food supply for starters!. The ground would be depleted to keep up with the demands of humans!. And all those animals we stopped eating!? Yeah, they'll all die too!. See, a lot of them eat vegetation as well!. And since they're allowed to procreate at their leisure, there will be too many of them and they will eventually die out!.

Any argument for humans being vegetarians are strictly for ethical and health reasons!. We do not have to justify why our body is designed the way it is to anyone!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

"Felt as we do" - that's questionable!. You, and nobody else, can really know how an animal - or even another human being - really feels (I assume you mean in a spiritual sense rather than a 'You kick me, it hurts' one)!.

"Just wanted to be alive" - that's equally questionable!. 'Is/was alive' is unquestionable!. 'Just wanted' imparts a sentience that may or may not exist in an animal and, therefore, cannot be assumed!.

Finally humans evolved, over around 10,000 generations, to be hunter/gatherers!. We are designed to consume the flesh of other animals and to leave out that part of our dietary requirement is harmful!.

Having said that, too many people consume far too much meat!. We should not be eating it every day, or in large quantities, as - like anything else - if consumed in excess it becomes harmful!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, humans have been proven by body structure to be meant to eat plants and animals!. We need meat in our diet and to eat meat is part of keeping the food chain balanced!. However, I do not agree with how much of the animal of Earth we kill of as a whole!.
Technically, if you were to not eat any living thing, you would die of starvation, because on plants, are micro organisms!.!.!.!.and the plants itself which are living things!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i personally am a vegetarian , although not a vegan
bt i stopped eating flesh bcoz i ws strongly against it ! ( i kno of ppl who are also against bt still keep eating !)
1 thing i do whch works most of the time is - i tell meat can not be alwayz assumed to be of gud quality , since these ppl can sell even dog's meat and call it beef and then they stop eating meat!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Very very easily, and for every animal you dont eat Ill eat two!.

See the canines in the front of your mouth, those are for cutting and tearing flesh, humans are omnivores we are made to survive on both!.

I bet you where the type of child that wanted the spider and the insects to just get along!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It is really a matter of concern for those poor animals and the vagetarians!.But its hard to bend the other animal(often referred to be a social being) from the way of thiking!.A time will come when the hell causing killers are taken to task and if asked to repay,that can bring in atleast some sort of a a involvement!.Till then!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Lllets hope everything goes on fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

!.!.!.I don't have to "justify" it!. (any more then the Killer Whale or the White Shark or the Lion or the Bear or any other carnivorous animal does)!.!.!. I love animals!!! I think "they are so delicious ! (I like vegges too!.!.!.!."they" are a great side-dish with my Bar B!.Q!. or grilled steak!.!.!. umm!. (Given the opportunity, those animals that I mentioned would think I was delicious too)Www@FoodAQ@Com

so do i, its a real life change, a lot of people could do with become a vegetarian and changing their attitude!.
lots of people say its primal instinct - basically theyre calling themselves cavemen! i understand how people can find it hard to give up meat, but i still cant bare to watch people eat it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Dude, have you eaten a bacon sandwich!?!?

Animals taste soooo good!.

Watch The Lion King, it explains everything!. It's the circle of life, we eat the animals and when we die, we feed the worms and the magots!.

Paraphrased from the slighty nutty Charlton Heston:

"They can pry by Rib Eye Steak from my cold dead hands"Www@FoodAQ@Com
