Is it moral to eat meat???!


Question: Is it moral to eat meat!?!?!?
Answers:
Depends on your morals!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This is the one truly valid argument for vegetarianism!. The ten pounds or so of grain it takes to produce one pound of meat would feed many more people than the meat does!. So it would not be moral to eat my pound of meat and deprive 9 other people their pound of grain!. But it doesn't work that way!. People are NOT starving because of lack of food!.There is far more than enough to feed everyone!. Greed,politics and power over others are why there is starvation!. Just like the near extermination of Bison was NOT because of Europeans demand for Robes or tongues!.But it was a systematic plan to destroy the Native Americans food source and starve them!. So it probably is not immoral under present conditions but just as with fossil fuels that will change eventually!. Great Question giving you a star!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I can tell you are feeling bad about it, and you are looking for justification!.!. You have to think that in this world it is a kill or be killed world, or it used to be!. There where times when if our species didn't kill other species when they did we would be totally different, the only reason we are as intelligent now, is because we had to space to develop, due to use killing other beasts!.

So killing the beasts in inevitable, then what's wrong with eating them after, you are not eating the animal, it doesn't know you are, you are eating it's corpse, taking it's cells and taking out what is good, and what you can use!.

Eating Meat is morel, they would not think twice about eating yours!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think that depends on your morals!. I personally eat meat!.
I think that if no-body ate meat that there would be a lot of animals running around!. And with eating meat there are still enough animals around!. I think that you are completely, morally, able to eat meat, just so long that the rest of the animal is not put to waste!. I think hunting for recreation, however, is NOT moral!. If you are going to kill an innocent animal at least use it to help SOMETHING! WOuldn't you like to know that when you die that you are somehow making the world better!?

So, yes!. I think it is moral to eat meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

ask yourself this,,,why are mammals the most successful species on the planet,,,
the answer is because they can survive by eating anything at all
giant pandas ,for example only eat bamboo,they are close to extinction,
you would have to eat 20lbs of vegetation to equal the protein contained in a pound of meat,
are you a survivor or a fool!?
morals have no place in the survival of the speciesWww@FoodAQ@Com

(i eat meat)
i think eating meat is perfectly moral, but unfortunately the ways meat is produced are really unethical and cause
suffering to animals and humans!.
i think things would be better if the meat industry was about small farms/abbatoirs/butchers and raising animals more naturally!. we'd pay more for meat but we'd be a lot healthier!

well it all depends on what you believe in!. My guess is that yes!. i believe that because we are animals too!. but since we have evolved a certain way of thinking we start making up things!. so if a lion ate a zebra its just food for it!. so why isint a cow or a fish food for us!. i dont see these things as any other thing but food!.
also if you arethinking that we should not eat meat because it came from a living thing forget that, arent plants living things as well!?
its just food relax!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i believe its ok to eat meat as its natural as we are omnivores!. however i do think its immoral to keep animals in substandard conditions!. its also wrong to waste meat as it means more animals are killed than are required!. its best to eat as much of the animal as possible if u are to kill it eg offal and stuff!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's perfectly normal!. Humans are at the top of the food chain!. In the wild, animals prey on other animals and it's not immoral!. It is, however, immoral for animal cruelty!. People have their personal choice on whether they want to eat meat or not, so I respect that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes!. I think so!. It depends what you base you're reality on!. If it's Christian, God's given you permission to eat anything (although I can't imagine eating dog, guinea pig e!.t!.c!.) Jewish obviously don't eat pork!. If you don't believe in a higher being then it's completely up to you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

hmmm!.!. so a lion or a leopard are immoral animals and vultures, hyenas or jackals are even worse animals since they eat dead meat!.!.

give me the lowest rating!.!. damn I am so mad about these stupid statements around!. Then again there are no stupid question just dumb people!

I've got one word for u ECOSYSTEMWww@FoodAQ@Com

A moral is a message conveyed or a lesson to be learned from a story or event!.

I understand that if I dont eat meat the moral of the story will be in my deathWww@FoodAQ@Com
