If eating meat is wrong, why do people keep doing it?!


Question: If eating meat is wrong, why do people keep doing it!?
As we all know, eating meat is wrong!. It was never intended for us to kill innocent animal beings for food!. We have a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to sustain us!. Meat eaters know this as well, but they pretend to believe in all the propaganda put out by the meat industry!. There is no way a person can be so ignorant that they actually believe we need meat for protein!. What I want to know is why they still do it even though they know it is wrong!?

Was keeping slaves wrong!?
Was keeping women away from the vote and person-hood wrong!?
Is the continuing discrimination against people of color and disabilities wrong!?

It's ingrained!. It's from Mommy and childhood; we can't ever say Mommy was wrong! It's macho! Wrongs continue because people refuse to consider an alternate choice of views!. I've been vegan for 12 years and my sweetie knows everything I do about animal abuse- and still eats meat!.

Go figure!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Every human has these teeth called canines, they're used for tearing meat!. Therefore, humans can eat meat we're designed for it!. I respect the fact that a lot of people chose not to eat meat for their own reasons!. Heck, I lived with four vegetarians and cooked for all of us they didn't mind that I ate meat and every now and then would try some!.

It's a matter of choice AND free will!.
I love my veggies, I love Tofu(mmm), I could happily live on them if there was no meat!.
And at no time in history have I heard that 'eating meat is wrong'
except from Vegans, and rabid Vegetarians!.
How do you know that we were never intended to eat animals!?
Where did you get this from!?
Not the Bible! (a veritable BBQ of eating animals)
It all comes down to PERSONAL CHOICE(you know, free will!?)
I like my meat,too!.
And the industry telling me meat is good has no sway on me, I an an Omivore,I like BOTH!.
And I wouldn't even try to tell you we need meat for protein, because I get the feeling from your post that you are a dyed in the wool Vegan!.
It's a matter of choice for everyone, even you!.

I'm with you, Hollywood; the names Christy and Hamthugger sprang to my mind when I read this question!. It's typical of their inept attempts to copy Ashley's style!.

For Mousie and others who don't know, all three people I've named are non-vegan trolls who sometmes post here posing as vegans to try and make vegans look silly!.

And Mousie, you are generalising about vegans!. I'm vegan and would find this question, if it was from a vegan, toe-curling!.

That dude is y i a "meat eater" eat meat it is yummy and good for u and my body was made for it also in the bible it says its okay end of story dude!.

Peace out girl scoutWww@FoodAQ@Com

This guy i know (who is a meat-eater) used to try and argue with me b-coz im veggie, his only argument was-

"But their pointless tho!.!.!.!.!.!."Www@FoodAQ@Com

You have to remember that it is a matter of opinion!. You think killing animals is wrong!. Others don't think so!. Some of it stems from religion and how God created animals for man to eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Youre stating your opinion as a fact!.!.!.!.thats very narrow minded, noone appreciates such things!.

Perhaps to you meat eating is wrong but it is not to me therefore I shall continue to enjoy it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because meat tastes good, It's a temptation!. People who eat meat say "because you need protein in your diet" as an excuse!. If eating chocolate was wrong then of course people would still eat it and not care!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Christy!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I hope you're not really this sanctimonious!. You give vegetarians a bad name when you say stuff like this!.

Not everyone thinks eating meat is wrong!. It's impossible to "know" something is wrong because right and wrong are relative and subjective based on culture and circumstance!.

In wealthy countries, people eat meat because they like it and think it tastes good!. In some less wealthy countries, they eat it because it's the only reliable source of protein, fat, and some minerals!. Not everyone has the luxury (yes, luxury) of being able to choose how they sustain themselves!.

Additionally, as animals, we typically do what it takes for our survival!. As humans, we in theory are more capable of making choices about our actions and rejecting instinct!. However, we do things that are "wrong" all the time!. We lie to people, we hurt feelings, we cheat (on tests, taxes, and timesheets)!.!.!. all of these things are wrong, but people do them all the time!. Heck, most murderers even know that what they're doing is "wrong!." I don't know why!. This is a philosophical question more than a lifestyle question!.

But I think the most important issue here is that not everyone has the same thoughts on what is and is not "wrong" when it comes to how to treat animals!. Not everyone thinks it's wrong to eat them!. The same goes for veganism vs!. non-veganism!. Some vegans believe it's wrong to use animals for food period!. Vegetarians typically only think it's wrong to use the actual flesh as food!.

Most vegetarians know that eating commercial dairy and eggs also leads to suffering and death for animals (what do you think happens to hens that stop laying eggs!.!.!. what about the male babies!?) but they eat them anyway!. The point is that everything that we do is probably seen as wrong by someone else, even when we think it's perfectly fine!. There are no moral absolutes when it comes to lifestyle choices!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It isn't wrong to me!. You are the ones easily swayed by PETA and their lies and pseudoscience!.

I will always eat meat!. I will never stop, whether you like it or not!. Humans are omnivores, why don't you radical vegetarians get it (I said radical vegetarians, veggies who don't push their opinions are perfectly fine in my book)!.

You make vegetarians look bad with your extreme narrow-mindedness!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That's really narrow minded!.

''As we all know, eating meat is wrong''-

You're going to offend people with an attitude like that!. Most of my loved ones eat meat so you're certainly not speaking on my behalf!. I remember Christy asking a similar question with the same opening sentence!. New account too!. Hmm!.!.!.

[edit] Mousie, they most probably are not a vegan at all!. Look at the date on which they signed up!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
