If there was a more natural and humane way to kill animals?!
would you consider eating meat again!? Especially of those who do it for the animals!. If the pesticides weren't used, no hormones, better care, pain free death, and the animals never knew what was coming to them!. Would you!? I am just wondering!.
I'm not trying to be a troll about it!. It's just something i've been thinking about!. I eat meat because i live with my parents and i honestly can not make my own diet work while i live with my parents!. The reason i feel most guilty about eating meat is because i realize that the animals go through lots of pain to be eaten!. I would feel better if the animals were treated better and didn't have to feel pain!.
I do agree that people need to stop eating so much meat and it's a waste on our resources!. But no meat!.!.that's just crazy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'd feel better if people went out and hunted their own meat, but then again they still have an unfair advantage if they used a gun or dartgun or whatever!. I'm not saying I want to hunt though, because I am just perfectly healthy without meat!.
Although I don't think killing animals is wrong!. Animals hunt too!. It's natural and normal to hunt other species!. We are animals after all!. BUT that does not excuse us for neglecting and killing animals by mass slaugher, in the most inhumane ways possible!.
I think meat should be a luxury if anything, because it is not a necessity although people act like it is!. There is no need to for us to eat meat every day for dinner or even breakfast/lunch; this is why people are overweight!. In the past century, people were lucky to have meat as it was a rarity nobody could afford!. Nowadays we take it for granted, and its causing all kinds of health/environmental/ethical problems!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nope, Eating (Once) living things, Is just gross!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
There is no way to kill the animals without pain!. Maybe chickens cause their heads can be taken off really quickly but there is no way to kill the large animals quickly!. I may one day have chickens of my own for their eggs, and I don't know if I could but maybe eat one!. I really don't think I could though because if I get them I will probably see their personalities and get attached!
Not eating meat ever is not crazy, there is no reason for people to think that veg people are crazy!. We are people who understand that animals do feel pain, physical and emotional just like we do and we choose to not be any part of it as much as possible!. That is not crazy, that is compassion!.
And for crying out loud, plants and animals are Two different things!. Plants cannot feel pain or emotions so please stop thinking and saying that!. You should have learned in school that plants have no central nervous system!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nope, no more eating animals for me!. I eat veggies because I want to live!. I do not need to eat animals to live so I eat the veggies!.
It may be crazy to you not to eat meat but to me it is crazy to eat meat!. I feel, this is my opinion, that the waste of resources in the modern production of meat is similar to running a car just so you can hear the radio!. If you want to hear music, just get a radio!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If there was a more natural and humane way to kill people would you consider keeping war!? How do we ever think we are going to reach peace, when we can't even stop killing ourselves over pieces of land and cultural rights!? This is the macro way of looking at killing something that is alive!. It trickles down to even how we treat animals!. Whenever man considers a species to be not the equal, we treat it to our pleasures!. And the pleasures of taste is what makes us kill animals and eat them!.
My vegan daughter once asked me!. Mom, do you think that the chicken who is outside (free-range) eating bugs and living the good life, wants to die!? As oppose to a chicken who is cooped up in a cage with twenty other chickens!? All of whom are getting fatter and fatter!? And the chickens in the cage above are just letting their excrement drop at will!. Don't you think that those chickens are probably just wanting to die (commercial chicken factory farms)!? Thus we gave up on eating chicken!. Killing is just what it is: taking of a life!. I give up the false being as the judge of who gets to live and who gets to die!.
Why is no meat crazy!? If you were brought up in a different cultural place in which eating meat is not even thought of (Tibet for instance), then you would be crazy for suggesting to even kill a living thing (like a sacrifice for the Gods) and then to even think of ingesting the flesh (like taking the sacrifice away from the Gods)!.
Think outside the box!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A label of Kosher on a meat product means that the farmer killed the animal in the way the Jews were told to do so in the Old Testament! You could start by looking for that label!.
Farmers who raise the animals for local folks and not say some pricey market perhaps are the ones that are more humane about how the animals die!.
I don't know what the humane ways are, but I do know that the word Kosher holds up to Jewish standards!Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!. I would not eat the meat for two main reasons:
1- It was still a living, breathing being!. I am a firm believer that animals are not ours to eat!. God created all of us to serve His purpose (animals included) and to make the world go around!. I don't think that the animals' purpose is to feed us!. Our bodies are simply not designed to eat meat!. If they were, we'd have teeth, claws, digestive tracts and stomachs that are similar to that of lions and tigers!.
2- Even if there was a more humane way to kill the animals, the fact remains that animal (and animal by-product) consumption has been linked to cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, heart attack and a host of other preventable medical conditions!. Better care and a more peaceful death doesn't alter the fact that it's still meat!.
"But no meat!.!.!.that's just crazy"!. Yeah, we're crazy - about being healthy and living our lives to the fullest!. We know the harmful effects of meat on the human body, the horrible and painful deaths that the animals go through and we just want to make an impact!. So if my passion about this lifestyle makes me crazy, I would like a pink straight jacket, size S!.
One more thing - the vegetables do not have a central nervous system!. They were not "alive" in the same sense that animals are!. They cannot feel pain!. You absolutely cannot compare the two!.
::EDIT:: If you are an atheist that's fine if it works for you!. Me believing in God works for me!. What's your point!? You asked a question and I answered it based on my *opinion* and personal experience!. If you don't want to hear people's opinions, then don't ask!. I find it ironic that you specifically said that you aren't trying to be a troll with your question, yet you come back and edit your post only to tear people down and insult them just as a typical troll would do!. Way to go!
Of course animals eat other animals!. That's what they're desigend to do!. Again, they don't have to cook their meat in order to eat it!. That tells me that they were created to eat it in its natural form and we are not!.
People in the Bible ate meat!.!.!.!.good for them!. They also stoned people to death or cut their limbs off for breaking the law!. Does that mean we should continue to do that too!?
Certain shellfish and seafood are super high in cholesterol!. Other fish have high traces of mercury - farm raised and fresh alike!. As hundreds of companies have polluted the oceans and fresh water sources, fish is not all that safe to eat these days!. And besides that, at the rate the fishing industry is collecting the animals, by 2050 there will be hardly any left!. Then what!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

you better start fasting for the rest of your bloody lives because even vegetables and fruits or whatever else is also living seeing as it GROWS!Www@FoodAQ@Com
real_one, i LOVE your answer! religious reasons are one of the main reasons i chose to go veg!.
even if there was a humane way to raise animals for food, killing animals will never be humane!. that's just an oxymoron!. but i'll play along!.!.!.!.!.!.
if there were a humane way to raise and kill animals for food i still would not eat them!. i don't believe that God's intention for animals was food!. in God's perfect world, i!.e!. Garden of Eden, Heaven, etc!. there is no killing of animals, not even by other animals!. the killing only began after sin!. so i don't eat animals because i don't believe that God intended us to!.
when i account for the health benefits, my religious convictions, and having a clean conscience i simply cannot imagine going back to eating meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, I wouldn't!. For one, I haven't eaten meat in over 21 years and don't even consider it food anymore!. also, I have no dietary need for it whatsoever!.
What it boils down to for me is that no matter how humanely an animal is treated in life, slaughter for the sake of food is still snuffing out a life in its prime!. It's not OK!.
And your scenario simply isn't reality!. As global demand for meat rises, more and more inhumane practices will be put in place to keep up with demand and to keep profits up!. When animals are considered a commodity, their needs simply aren't considered!. "No meat" is not "just crazy!." It's totally doable - look at India!. Forty percent of its population is vegetarian and many of them have never eaten a bite of meat in their entire lives, and they've been doing it for centuries!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
