I think meat is natural?
i think meat is a 100% natural substance. it is way more natural than most food we eat, heck most fruits and vegetables are now genitically moddified and\or drenched with chemicals! how natural is that?!@?!@
so honestly, meat is natural, so why not eat it?

2. our teeth. no need to elaborate but they are sharp for a reason (tearing through flesh).
3. our ancestors ate meat because their ancestors did. this has been going on since before our ancestors could have been called human people.
and lastly for now 4. they will die anyway why not eat them? would you rather their deaths being meaningless?? i wouldn't because i respect animals. i mean nobody cares if they die because they don't really have a conscienceness the way we people do.

Cliff C ..who are you ? you post ,your words ..." i don't eat meat for a few reasons including it isn't a neccassary food for humans to consume, you can get every nutrient your body requires without meat, i do not agree with the way animals are raised and treated, and i never really liked the taste of most meats growing up anyway.
oh, and there are more sources of protein than just meat you know. " ......................AND then this ...what gives ? ......... Inquiring minds want to know .....!

vegan forever ..PS veggies make Love not War
My favorite is Foster Farms flame grilled chicken over lava rock . The juices smoke on the lava rock and the taste is wonderful .
Also favorite is wild salmon done the same (gas / lava rock) .
I could never be a vegetarian . . . but I appreciate them saving the good stuff for me !
I agree with you. I'm a vegetarian though, and I've chosen to be one because animals are abused and they give animals hormones. I just don't want to have anything to do with any of it.
I think meat is natural?
i think meat is a 100% natural substance. it is way more natural than most food we eat, heck most fruits and vegetables are now genitically moddified and\or drenched with chemicals! how natural is that?!@?!@
so honestly, meat is natural, so why not eat it?
-meat filled with hormones and antibiotics from an animal kept ina cage alll of it’s life and then going to the store and buying it in Styrofoam and plastic wrap is far from natural
also a few more points i would like to get accross.
1. god put meat on our planet for food, not to be s tuck in zoos for stupid kids to throw peanuts at.
-I don’t think you should speak for GOD,animals are here for their own reason.he gave them the gift of life just as he did to you.
2. our teeth. no need to elaborate but they are sharp for a reason (tearing through flesh).
-I’d like to see you go in a field butt naked and take down a deer with those teeth
3. our ancestors ate meat because their ancestors did. this has been going on since before our ancestors could have been called human people.
-Some of our ancestors probably murdered,raped,and ate each other,traditions do not make things right
and lastly for now 4. they will die anyway why not eat them? would you rather their deaths being meaningless?? i wouldn't because i respect animals. i mean nobody cares if they die because they don't really have a conscienceness the way we people do
-They are already dead,what can we do for them?If you buy it then more will be demanded which will mean more supplied in the future.does it make a difference whether you eat it or not if it is dead,will the animal thank you for eating it?No.If you respect animals you’d be a veg*n.
and another thing what about war??? so many people are dying every day!! its like you @#$%^@# vegetarians care more about some dumb cow or chicken than you do about people!! it makes me so angry!
-I'm sure most veggies preach non-violence
Killing the weakest members of a species is "natural" too, but we don't do that, do we?
And if it's so natural... you should only be able to eat what you can kill with your bare hands.
I support anyone choosing to be a vegetarian, I however, am not. I have friends that are, some for the animal-killing reason, and some for health reasons. I stopped eating meat for almost two years once, and it did give me an appreciation of what vegetarians have to go through at restaurants, social events, etc.
I agree that eating meat is a part of our heritage, and that some of the things they are doing to vegetables nowadays can be scary. As for the chemicals, that is a good reason to support organic produce!
I don't eat meat (however natural it may be) because of the many hormones and other c**p that are put into non-organic meats as well as the way many animals are treated. I also do prefer the taste of vegetables over meat, and i like soy very much. It is also not a question of how natural something is (though organic foods without s**t in them are much healthier) but more of what it is. Also, in response to the ending point on your question (that you said animals don't have a conscience or whatever mis-spelled word you used), i view that as wrong. Animals have as much a conscience as we do (even though most are unable of cognitive thought, that is irrelevant), and besides, how would you feel if someone fed you food that you're not supposed to eat (like feeding cows corn rather than grass) and then brought you somewhere one day and killed you?
In regards to fish, the main reason that fish populations are so low is because they are trawler-fished or accidentally caught in a trawler net.

-The solution is not to start wars. I am also offended you used profanity to describe my beliefs.
I don't think it is natural to eat (especially non-organic meat).
the way they r treated in factory farms with no chance to live is verry un-natural. If u like it natural, find a wild animal, hunt it down w/ur teeth and claws, and eat it raw. human bodies can't digest raw flesh, so it we need help from man-made things to eat something, I don't belive its natural at all.
and befor some-one says something about me eating tofu or w/e,,, I'ma fruitarian, and only eat raw and organic fruits and nuts-seeds
Prepare for a long rant:
I am not a vegetarian, and I believe you're right that humans were put on this earth as omnivores, meaning eating both animals and plants.
I do not like it when vegetarians (none of my vegetarian friends are like this) try to thrust their beliefs on meat-eaters and play the guilt-trip. They should accept that everyone has their own unique set of beliefs and opinions; you should tell your cousin that. Yes, there is a difference between attacking others' beliefs and defending your own.
(I also don't like this when people of other beliefs attack others for eating something certain. For example, the other day at lunch I was eating pork, and someone asked me how I could live with myself after eating something so disgusting. I respect your beliefs, please respect mine!)
However, I do understand that in western society, animal slaughtering has gone too far. The meat industry is literally an industry now, as protein is now produced for us in grim, unsanitary factories. Not only does this mean a great deal of disheartening cruelty, but it also means a deficiency in quality of meat.
This is why I am against this cruelty and savagery, and this is why I support better alternatives of eating meat, like buying organic or cage-free/ free-range meats. You can also practice some moderation in eating meat--it shouldn't be the only thing you eat. In my family's Asian dinner, we usually have rice with a few smaller meat dishes and a lot more, and larger, vegetable dishes. Also, stay away from mainstream food chains like KFC, which facilitate "meat factories", or at least eat less of them. If you are a Deep South family with a lot of obese family members, it's time to stop with the chicken boxes anyway.
In terms of fish, the oceans are really being ravaged, so we eat fish that are on safe-lists. These include farmed oysters, mackerel, sardines, and salmon. If the fish at the market is not on the list (shrimp, Chilean Sea Bass, etc) you should eat less of it, PLEASE, because it is either full of mercury, facing low population, or its harvest is depreciating the rest of the ocean's populations of other creatures, OR you are taking fish away from the populations of Africa, that need it. Because Europe and America are taking in so great amounts of seafood, some people's main meat source in Africa is fish heads!
A lot of my friends use this as their main reason for giving up meat. I have a friend who says that if she ever goes to Europe of Asia, or she is certain that the animal she is eating wasn't stuffed in squalor in a tiny cage for years, then she'll eat meat again.
This is exactly why some people do not like to eat meat, ''it makes you angry'', othre people do not like to eat it because, unlike vegetables, meat is different, animals live and breath and walk around, they have babies, and have their own rights to a good life, and so on, try to understand that, not all people are the same, some people are like you, and others are not - live and let live.
i agree with felix. Animals have lives, they make babies, and they have feelings, do you think that if they didn't feel they would hug each other <
our ancestors used to eat meat and hunt because they needed to survive and they didn't have any other choice...but today, we all do...we have more capabilities than THEY did long ago, so we have the choice: do we eat a living being who breeds and lives like humans do, or let the creatures live in harmony and let's eat vegetable?
another thing: if they "die anyways" why wouldn't you let them die naturally? would you eat a human because he's gonna "die anyways"?
*think about it*
Here's your question. I will add a commentary as we read along.
I think meat is natural?
i think meat is a 100% natural substance. it is way more natural than most food we eat, heck most fruits and vegetables are now genitically moddified and\or drenched with chemicals! how natural is that?!@?!@
so honestly, meat is natural, so why not eat it?
-The error in THIS logic is obvious. Animals used for meat are often injected with chemicals, like cortisol to make them fat. They are genetically engineered to have a huge gut.

also a few more points i would like to get accross.
1. god put meat on our planet for food, not to be stuck in zoos for stupid kids to throw peanuts at.
-I hope you are joking. for one, zoo animals are not usually used for food and visa-versa. And If I were any animal, I'd take stupid kids throwing peanuts at me than being boiled alive anyday. Besides, God put you on this planet, to say that animals were created just for us is arrogant.
2. our teeth. no need to elaborate but they are sharp for a reason (tearing through flesh).
-If you have a dog, Take a good look at his/her teeth. She/he is a carnivore (order: carnivora). Look in the mirror and look at your canines. See the HUGE difference?
3. our ancestors ate meat because their ancestors did. this has been going on since before our ancestors could have been called human people.
-Our ancestors owned slaves too. Just because our anscestors did it doesn't make it right.
and lastly for now 4. they will die anyway why not eat them? would you rather their deaths being meaningless?? i wouldn't because i respect animals. i mean nobody cares if they die because they don't really have a conscienceness the way we people do.
-Animals die because people eat meat. The less people eat meat, the less animals need to die. Consciences, no; sentience; by much scientific research, very likely yes. Especially in pigs and chickens, which have very complex attachments to objects, complex relationships with conspecifics, and can even have rudementary math skills. Chickens also have a complex language. There has been loads of research on that since the seventies, and very little has been refuted.

also another thing is its really inconvient for friends and familes of vegetarians. my cousin announced last thanksgiving she was a vegetarian and thought we were 'supporting cruelty' wtf honestly. MEAT IS A TRADITION!
-Vegetarians that shove thier beliefs in others faces are annoying, I understand completely. Don't do the same that she does to you by saying "meat is a tradition". Most vegetarians can't stand overly-vocal vegetarians like that. You have every right to find her comment offensive.

-Pigs are naturally herbivorous, for the most part, but I've seen stupid videos on youtube where pigs have been fed meat, even pork. They can, but it's not natural for them to.

and another thing what about war??? so many people are dying every day!! its like you @#$%^@# vegetarians care more about some dumb cow or chicken than you do about people!! it makes me so angry!!
-Really? where did you get that idea. Some people are vegetarians for the sole reason of human rights and peace!
So to sum it up, you don't need to be a vegetarian, I'm not saying you do. Just respect other people's beliefs and lifestyles. (though I can see why you are all flamed up about this, your cousin sounds really annoying and offensive)
@ AndyB: Pigs SCAVENGE you stupid idiot. They don't kill anything. Notice the "for the most part" before "naturally herbivores". We didn't evolve to eat meat, that's why we're omnivores, dumbass we can eat both plants and animals. Compared to most omnivores (even squirrels) we need less of the nutrients that comes from meat. Sure eating meat is natural, but that doesn't mean we have to eat it. If you want to, that's your own damn buisness. Why insult people for thier beliefs and dietary habits? Just live and let live. Your intollerance shows that you are clearly ignorant.
BTW, We have very few adaptations to eat meat. Gorillas have canines too but they are herbivores.
We don't have any adaptations to raise and slaugter animals on farms. So is that not natural? You can say our will to farm is our adaptation, but you would have to say our will to have slaves was an adaptation too.
RE AndyB: Andy, I'm not really answering or arguing "meat is natural", I'm arguing "why not eat it?" I never once took issue with non-vegetarians. I take issue with statements that undermind my lifestyle.
By the way, I've seen some of your other answers. I'm not the only one who needs to get facts strait.
I know I know, don’t feed the trolls, but you gotta admit it’s quite fun.
"i think meat is a 100% natural substance. it is way more natural than most food we eat, heck most fruits and vegetables are now genitically moddified and\or drenched with chemicals! how natural is that?!@?!@”
- yes, you wont find many arguing with you that meat (muscle tissue) is a natural not substance. What they add to it is not natural, they way the animals it comes from a raised, bred, killed, packaged, and eaten is not natural.
“1. god put meat on our planet for food, not to be s tuck in zoos for stupid kids to throw peanuts at.”
- The amount of cognitive dissonance you display between the “food” you eat and the animal it comes from astounds me. In the bible animals were created before humans, and no mention is made in the book of Genesis of animals being used as the food of humans. No matter how the world become, “God” did not intend for us to eat animals in the beginning. (Just an FYI I’m not a Christian so this augment doesn’t fly with me anyways.)
“2. our teeth. no need to elaborate but they are sharp for a reason (tearing through flesh).”
- Look at a Dogs teeth, look at yours… Next question.
“3. our ancestors ate meat because their ancestors did. this has been going on since before our ancestors could have been called human people.”
- Our ancestors also use to own slaves. Tradition is no justification for exploitation.
“and lastly for now 4. they will die anyway why not eat them? would you rather their deaths being meaningless?? i wouldn't because i respect animals. i mean nobody cares if they die because they don't really have a conscienceness the way we people do.”
- If we don’t breed these animals in the first place this whole situation is averted. Research is showing that animals are quite like us cognitively. Charles Darwin is quoted as saying “the difference between humans and animals is surely a matter of degree, not kind..
“also another thing is its really inconvient for friends and familes of vegetarians. my cousin announced last thanksgiving she was a vegetarian and thought we were 'supporting cruelty' wtf honestly. MEAT IS A TRADITION!”
- Too bad, I could honestly care less whether my ethical position inconveniences anyone. Of course we can make our own food if need be, but too damn bad we don’t eat the crap you do.
“and another thing if we weren't biologically required to eat meat (it is our destiny in our genes) WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO!! GOD PEOPLE. our bodies are able to9 efficiently extract nutrients from meat for a reason BECAUSE WE NEED IT”
- I suggest you look up the proper definition of the word omnivore. Just because we can eat animal flesh does not mean we have to.
“and another thing what about war??? so many people are dying every day!! its like you @#$%^@# vegetarians care more about some dumb cow or chicken than you do about people!! it makes me so angry!!”
-First, what are you doing the advance human rights? I thought so. Secondly, Veganism is about ending oppression in all forms, human or animal. Our theory allows for both.
Edit: @ Andy B: wrote, "...And animals do not have 'rights' because they do not have responsibilities. Certainly, we should not beat them or be cruel to them unnecessarily, but that doesn't constitute rights."
- According to your logic, severely retarded humans, and infants also should have no rights as they surely have no responsibilities to society either.
Hey cliff I'm a veg and I am not going to change because some stupid 13 year old has no clue what he is talking about a saying stupid stuff just because he wants to make people mad. got it? So step off you jerk! I think all the vegs will agree
I think meat is natural, too. Look thru the Old Testament, and you will find many, many references to eating meat.
Ok, I am going to do without the insults this time.
Meat, Is not 100% natural, not when there are hormones and antibiotics riddled throughout the meat.
And about vegetables being genetically modified, I know this isn't exactly "genetic modification" but why do you think that cows and chickens are bred the way they are (Fat and immobile) so they taste better to the consumer, isn't that along the same lines....
There is more than just one reason we don't eat meat, some of us don't eat meat because we don't want to support the cruelty that goes on in the meat and dairy industry (and egg).
So as long as animals are being abused, there are always going to be people like us fighting against it, because it is just plain wrong.
I agree with the fact that animals were not put here to live in zoos... but as far as animals being here for our consumption, I would have to disagree. Now it is evolution and survival that made animals that were not as smart as us, lower on the "food chain"... but today, we do not need them to survive, we can live perfectly healthy lives as vegans. So it just seems like another step in evolution to become a vegan. And I hate when people say that animals were put here for US, They were put her for themselves! Not us.
Again... to your second point... EVOLUTION... we evolved as omnivores... because at times we needed meat to survive, this would be the reason for the sharp teeth in our mouth. And AGAIN we do not need to eat them any more to survive. So why not stop eating them?....
I am not even going to explain my thoughts on your 3rd point because I believe I have already explained it.
As far as them " dying anyway", Yes all things die, but we shouldn't be the ones dominating them and killing them off! They should not be dying because of us, they should be dying in nature, naturally dying and naturally mating. Instead, we are forcing them to do both. I don't believe that you "respect" animals, or else you wouldn't be subjecting them to horrible lives just because they taste good.
I don't know about your family, but I don't make it inconvenient for my family. I don't make them feed me, and I don't go around making them think they are bad people for being meat eaters, but that’s just me, I can’t speak for all vegans and vegetarians.
We do not need meat, the thing is that, we CAN extract nutrients from meat, but we can also extract nutrients from vegetables, and it is proven healthier to extract our nutrients from veggies, so why not rid ourselves of the bad things (meat).
As far as war, that is beyond our control. This is the point that my boyfriend (a meat eater, he said, "There is so many other Shi!ty things going on in the world right now.") made... It is a good point, but war is completely out of our control, trying our best to help animals is in our control, and shouldn't we do everything that IS in our control to make the world a better place?
Cyanide is natural, arsenic is natural, lead is natural, uranium is natural, E.Coli is natural, Botulism is natural, Salmonella is natural, Bubonic plague is natural, Ebola is natural.
All those are 100% natural substances!!
PLEASE, PLEASE EAT THEM
No sensible vegans or vegetarians can contest that we were deigned to eat meat. Even most vegan scientists agree that human's are designed to eat meat, that is not in question.
That we do not have claws, talons, or incisors to hunt proves nothing. When early hominids ate meat they scavenged it, as vultures do, using their fingers to get the sinews and meat other animals couldn't. It was only after that that they began to hunt the meat themselves, and only much later they began to cook it. It is interesting that even now if someone was brought up eating raw meat he would have no problem with it.
The last few million years of human evolution have revolved completely around tools. We used advanced stone tools long before we began to hunt our own meat, and as such there was no need for evolution to bestow us with large claws or teeth to kill prey.
Simple research into human biology reveals how we are meant to eat meat. For one thing, our body produces hydrochloric acid and meat splitting enzymes that herbivores don't produce and are solely used for the digestion of meat. There are adaptations to our teeth (not incisors, rather the size of the jaw), stomach and intestines which have made a human being very adept at meat digestion. There is nothing wrong with the way our body digests meat, and we are so adept at eating it no scientists are of any doubt we've evolved to eat it.
In contrast, there are many reasons we aren't naturally herbivores. We cannot naturally get all the nutrients we need without animal products naturally. Vitamin B12 cannot be got, even now, without animal products or supplements, and a lack of it can cause anaemia and impending death. 60% of vegans even now have some level of B12 deficiency, as opposed to no meat eaters, which says something about how well adapted we are to a vegan diet.
All other nutrients can be got naturally. That owes to that vegetables can now be sold all year round, even out of season, and can be flown into the country from all over the world. In bygone times people could only eat the relatively small range of plants that grew in their ecosystem, and only when they were in season. Thus many more nutrients would have been unavailable and still more unavailable for most of he year. Until very recently it would have been impossible for a vegan human to live naturally without dying very quickly.
Now, meat makes up for all these lost nutrients very nicely, and it really shows how we aren't naturally vegans, as until very recently it was impossible to live like that.
“and another thing what about war??? so many people are dying every day!! its like you @#$%^@# vegetarians care more about some dumb cow or chicken than you do about people!! it makes me so angry!!”
I know everyone here as said what a stupid point this is so far, and in fairness is isn't exactly the best made point, but what about the ALF, and the anti-vivisection lobby. Peta said if animal testing produced a cure for AIDS, a disease which kills millions of people in Africa, and blights the lives of many more, including children, they would be against it.
To say that their aren't people who value animal lives over human's is wrong.
@ Vegan and Proud
Certainly some meat is full of hormones and antibiotics, but it depends where you live, there are many countries where their use is illegal.
Similarly not all animals are kept in cages, and not all meat is sold in a wrapper (although I hardly think what wrapper it comes in makes a difference).
@ Felix
I'm fairly sure I've seen veggies run around ranting and swearing at least as much as him here, but do I claim it's because their diet made them angry?
And animals do not have 'rights' because they do not have responsibilities. Certainly, we should not beat them or be cruel to them unnecessarily, but that doesn't constitute rights.
@ Brennan
'Just because our ancestors did it doesn't make it right.'
It depends. Slavery I think everyone will say is wrong, a lot of things our ancestors did are now seen as wrong, but meat is different.
There is a school of ethics, called natural law, which says that something is right if it is used for the purpose for which it was designed, etc. This is not a ethical law I generally agree with, but it illustrates this point well.
The question was that meat is natural, and it is. There is no question that over millions of years we have evolved to eat meat, but on the other hand there are no adaptations to our body regarding keeping slaves: it is not inherently natural. The only question remaining is whether you think ignoring millions of years of evolution is right or wrong, because I think you'll find for most people natural is seen as right.
Also, pigs are naturally omnivorous. They'll eat damn near anything.
To quote wikipedia: "Pigs are omnivores, which means that they consume both plants and animals. Pigs will scavenge and have been known to eat any kind of food, including dead insects, worms, tree bark, rotting carcasses, excreta (including their own), garbage, and other pigs."
So, basically, get your facts right.
RE: BrennanR
I have several issues with the points you made about my post.
Firstly, I never said we should eat it, just that we can, it is natural. I think I did say it is right, but this is more in regard to it not being wrong, rather than any humans having an obligation to eat it.
Secondly, I never mentioned canines. However, huge canines aren't used for eating meat, they are weapons for defence or attack, hence why many carnivores and herbivores have them. If all you're doing is eating meat you don't need any more than the piddly little things we have.
Thirdly, I don't think I did insult anyone, or show intolerance, and I definately don't think I'm ignorant just because I disagree with you. I think the most offensive thing I said was 'get your facts right' to you. If you just regard me giving my sincere opinion on the matter offensive, well nuts to you basically.
Fourthly, wild pigs (ie, wild boars) will kill and eat small reptiles, amphibians and mammals and birds. True, this isn't a huge part of their diet, but they will do it nonetheless.
'For the most part naturally herbivores' wouldn't be true either, because, although the majority of their diet is plants, a large proportion isn't.
Finally, I'm not concerned with how we get meat. No, farming isn't natural, but that doesn't mean eating meat isn't. Being humans we've just worked out easier ways to do things.
Andy B has won this question. I simply love how he casually offended most of you and you all give him thumbs-down, despite the fact he was coherent, eloquent, and made several DAMN good points. I commend you, Andy. Keep up the awesome work my man.
Your point about war doesn't make any sense. This was quoted on a TV show, though I don't recall who said it originally.
"Of all the animals man is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it. It is a trait that is not known to the other higher animals."
That is why there is war. When people don't try to respect or at least tolerate others that is what happens. Most vegetarian people respect all animals. Just by making such a post, you become an example of lack of respect for others.
The concept of natural doesn't mean anything to people since they are able to do many things they want through science. People are even cloning meat now. Is cloned meat natural? Are factory farms natural? Other people are natural too, we shouldn't bury people but feed them to the starving and homeless. The same is true of all the animals in the animal shelter. This would be more efficient, natural, and save lots of money.
Why do you think they don't do this (even though it would save money)? Because people can think, they can choose to do what they want (hopefully within the law). So if you can't respect the choice of other people why are you asking questions? I thought Yahoo Answers if for people to learn something. Not ask a question and answer it themselves.
yes. its natural but its inhuman these days to eat animals when we have useless manufactured foods like cereal bars. if anyone uses the excuse that our ancestors did it then its ok, well the reason why they did it is b.c they weren't sure if they'll eat the next day, next week, etc. Meat is high in protein which makes you less hungery for awhile, but its just useless to eat animals these days. i mean, come on..! look at all the other options we have now in the grocery stores. if our ancestors had that choice then i think they would choose processed snack cakes & cereal bars then getting messy from killing. If you killed an animal from scratch then I think you wouldn't be eating beef at that kitchen table for the rest of your life!
