Does eating meat make us cruel people?
A vegan told me that eating meat makes me a murderer and that I am responsible for death, pain and cruelty.
I work hard to provide for my family and there is always some meat on the table. To me, a meal is not complete with a meat entree. I want my family to be healthy and get the necessary nutrients that their bodies need.
What that vegan said to me is really bothering me. I consider myself to be a good person, but this vegan insists that I am a murderer. How should I respond this vegan?
Answers:
Another vegan calling you a murderer? How many does that make this week, Foxie -- at least 10?
Darlin', you really need to take that, "Kick me, I'm a meat eater" sign off your rump. Given that everyone you know, are related to, or work with is a vegetarian or vegan, you're just asking to be nailed.
Like I said in my reply to your last post, I don't know where you live, but it must be the Vegetarian/Vegan Capital of the Known Universe. No wonder people call you cruel and a murderer, you poor guy. . .you must be the only meat eater within a hundred miles!
Just move out of Veganville, and people won't call you mean names any more.
eating meat is natural. it isnt murder. besides, who wants to eat vegetables all the time?
Yes..Hungry tastey meat loving cruel people.
I don't care about what other people say I like some meat once in a while like sushi.There is nothing wrong with using your teeth to bite into a juicey steak
Tell him it's you decision and that he shouldn't be judgemental towards you. He shouldn't attack you...and if he continues to do so...attack back.
Besides, don't worry about what he has to say....He probably is nothing to you in your life...just a hippie with a big mouth.
Eat them, with a nice Chianti and some fava beans. But, Vegan meat is usually all tough and stringy, so you might want to marinate it in the shattered dreams of homeless people.
no eating it does not make us cruel.......killing it does
Hey, if you were meant to be a vegan you would not be born with canines, and incisors to cut meat with. You have have only molars otherwise!
Meat is good,veggies bad
does killing each other make us the same
Don't sweat over what this wierdo told you..has this vegan ever heard of..the FOOD CHAIN? Animals are meant to be eaten. I think it's pathetic how some people spend more time complaining about us killing animals than the times we should be worried about people killing people. Besides, you can't call anything food unless it has some meat in it..yum!
That's a vegetarian's point of view. Humans are carnivores. It is in our nature. It's just his/her opinion, similar to one's religion. You don't have to feel bad about anything. There are millions in the world who AREN'T vegetarians.
EAT the Vegan.
Mest is lovely, ask a bacon sandwhich
Vegans think that everyone should be like them. Many of them are eco-terrorists, and some vegan organizations are actually considered domestic terrorists, like PETA.
Many animals are on this planet for us to eat. Animals eat each other, and we are animals, at the core, and meat is what we are suppossed to eat. Man is a predator, man is built for eating meat.
Diffrent strokes-
The problem here is tolerance, in my opinion theres nothing wrong with it but people can be wacky about that stuff...
I mean what the hell else could a damn cow be for?
Bamma say cruel people eat meat. Bamma say eat meat not make you cruel. Bamma say some Vegans cruel but not eat meat. Bamma say does this mean all Vegans mean. Bamma wanna know.
i don't think we're cruel people for eating meat.
first of all, it's our own choice. we don't force meat on vegans, so they shouldn't force us to NOT eat meat.
and secondly, animals don't have souls. they were made to be used as food.
Meat does not make your a murderer, I mean when cows are killed, the get hit in the head so fast it fools more good then bad. Also, cows are pointless except for what they can provide humans... They don't cause envirmental balancing changes so there isn't really a point to keep them alive. - All of them anyway.
Vegetarian, the Indian word for "lousy hunter."
Hehe Happy Holdiays eat some Steak!
if we where meant to be vegans, then our teeth would be different.
ignore them they are deficient in minerals that you can only get from eating MEAT.
I dont think so at all. Keep in mind that animals don't experience the world as we humans do. A rabbit, for example, doesn't start to run away when he first sees the dog; he only runs after the dog has actually started to come at him. So lower animals don't know "fear" as we humans do, rationally. And for that reason, the animals that we butcher and eat don't sit around and fear their death. They just exist.
And. . . certain amino acids are only obtainable in meat. Your children need it.
You should ignore them, I think.
Our bodies are made to be omnivorous: plants and animals. We are not herbivores and we need the nutrients in meat, such a protein, to help our bodies function properly.
Eating meat does not make you a murderer, anymore than a lion eating a gazelle makes her one. The vegan has chosen to live differently, but he/she shouldn't shove that lifestyle down other people's throats.
Your body is designed to eat meat.
The argument that eating meat is murder would then have to carry throughout the animal kindom to apply to all predatory animals. Lions, tigers, cats, dogs...all carnivores. Does the fact that they eat meat make them murderers?
I don't like to think about killing animals but we gotta eat too! Animals eat animals......and we are animals.(scientificaly speaking.)If a snake ate a mouse is that considered murder? No. It is a natural thing.
Just tell them it's your personal choice to eat meat, as it is theirs to not eat it. You're not asking them to eat meat, and you'd appreciate it if they would not ask you to not eat meat.
Meat is a natural thing to eat. Nature is built around a food chain. Advocates of vegetarianism argue that in a civilised soceity, we don't need to eat meat. This is true. We don't need to eat meat. But nor is it contrary to natural law for us to do so. We were born with the teeth and the digestive system to use meat for our nutrition.
Vegetarians should not criticise carnivores, AND vice-versa.
If you want to eat meat - do it!
Please never listen to a vegan they are extremist and are not logiocal. Sure it's not pleasant to think about how the animals are killed but it's nature. There is a food chain some animals eat only meat, some eat only plants, some(like people) eat both. I guess by your vegan friends view cats are murderers since they are carnivores. Same for dogs(although they eat both), wolves, foxes, ect.. As for how to respond I suggest finding some normal people to hang out with.
it makes us human..we have evolved as meat eaters..you only have to look at our teeth..if we were meant to be veggies we would have a dental arrangement like cows...
This question made me hungry... time for a good burger now. LOL... besides, it's lunchtime.
Hey, it's YOUR life and 90+% of this world eats MEAT, so tell him you respect his decision, but after all... one cannot regulate another's tastes or preferences.
Should I say just because I am bisexual that all others in the majority who say they are not are also evil?
You are YOU... make your own decisions and value judgments.
you shouldnt care what other people think! people have different lifestyles and the vegan is wrong for trying to put down other peoples life. Your not a murderer because you didnt kill the animal the farmer did! lol. anyway if you want to change and become a vegan thats fine but meat does has nutriens that vegatables dont have
The bottom line is that you don't have to answer to this vegan. (S)he probably won't be swayed by anything you say anyway so why bother.
While it is true that most of us eat too much red meat, physiologically we are omnivorous. Nature has given us both teeth to grind vegetable matter as well as those that are designed for dealing with meat (our incisors and canines). Our digestive system is designed to handle both meat and vegetable matter. Further, other physical attributes such as our eye placement resembles that of a predator rather than a herbivore.
Predation is a part of the order of nature. IMHO, most vegans really don't have a good handle on the whole balance of nature thing.
no
