Why do you think it is wrong to eat meat?!
I do not understand why its like this!. That so many vegetarians will lecture people who do eat meat and say that we are murderers!. Why is it okay for other animals to hunt, kill and eat another animal but its so damn wrong for us as humans to do the same natural thing and consume another animal!. Human beings are animals too!. I don't see how that makes sense!. How are we any different from the other animals eating those of another species!?
We humans are animals too and well it just makes so sense to me why some people throw fits over people who do eat meat!. Personally I do eat meat but in moderation and I make sure what I consume was killed as humanly possible!.
I don't see a lion making sure its pry died painlessly!. Although yes it is true some of these poor animals were tortured!. Thus why I never like eating awful fast food!. I just think what we do as humans is natural needless to say I think our teeth prove that we were made to be omnivores!
If meat is murder then so is the natural order and food chain!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
I think that it is very wrong for anyone to go out there and tell other people what they are doing is wrong!. I became an vegetarian and I will never tell a meat eater that they are murders because they have their reasons to eat what they want just like I have my own reasons for not eating meatWww@FoodAQ@Com
Animals don't think so don't blame them!.They are weak!.We humans are way stronger and more dominant!.In the past,the man was like a slave to Nature!.Now,it sounds like all what ppl think about is to eat and sleep!.We owe a lot to Nature!.So,at least why don't we treat other beings in a healthy good way,why not!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
It is not wrong to eat meat!. Meat in moderation is a very healthy part of a diet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
who says killing animals is naturalWww@FoodAQ@Com
It is my religious belief that I need not take from another for my own sustainance!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
i do not judge people who eat meat or call them murderers
but even though other animals kill animals as prey its not the same as rasinng animals for the sole purpose to be killed and sold for human consumption and make a huge profit off it
you have to understand that animals in the wild do have a fair chance of getting away from their prey!. they can run away or fight back and when they do die its because they lost a fight
other animals like cows are born to die a sure dealth
the animals that are used for meat are already destined to be killed way long before they where even born
theres animals that are not even gonna be born till next year but we already know they will be killed to keep up with the meat demand in following years
there dealths are planned before they are even born and they dont even have a chance unlike other animals who do have a fair chance to fight off there preditor
and i honestly think thats a bunch of bs that our teeth somehow prove we are natural meat eaters ( =Www@FoodAQ@Com

The very act of killing for food is no longer necessary unless you are dirt poor and must hunt or you call the Arctic home!. If it's not necessary for health or happiness then why cause needless violence!?
We should think of the reasons why humans in Western Society kill and eat what they do!. What is the reason that most eat cows, pigs, poultry, and fish!? The reason is because it's (A) an easy target and they're easy to catch and hold by farmers and (B) because we keep a separation between ourselves and these animals!. If we kept these animals as our pets we undoubtedly would feel differently about them!. But why give dogs, cats, horses, mentally disabled humans, and infants a reprieve!? Aren't they just the same in suffering capacity as the food animals that we eat!? The only reason we don't eat them is because of a cultural barrier that tells us not too, but when you think about it, it's no different!.
If a being is born into the world, I believe it has an inalienable right to live it's full life free of shackles, suffering, pain, isolation, and slaughter!.

i don't think it is "wrong" to eat meat, and clearly humans are omnivores
but one vegetarian argument would be that humans also have compassion unlike other animals, and should attempt not to cause the suffering of fellow creatures!.
you said yourself that you avoid fast food because "some of these poor animals were tortured"!. you have answered your own question!. but, is there really evidence that fast food meat includes more tortured animals than other meat!? this seems like a dubious claim!.
and yes, clearly the whole food chain is murder if you accept the "meat is murder" slogan!. again, the difference would be that humans have a capacity for compassion and conscience!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Q: Why is it okay for other animals to hunt, kill and eat another animal but its so damn wrong for us as humans to do the same natural thing
A: What we see animals do in the wild is indeed natural!. For example, when a lion runs 70 mph and drags a gazelle by the throat to her pride is totally what they were intended to do!. They are carnivores by nature!. They eat nothing but meat and their bodies were designed to comsume it raw!. What humans do to cattle, pigs, chickens, turkeys, lambs, etc!. is not natural!. Pumping them with antiobotics and growth hormones, artificially insceminating cows and cramming them in unclean quarters it NOT natural!. On any level!. Until I see a human take down a wild animal in a similar manner as the lion in the aforementioned example, then there is no comparison!. We were simply not designed to do what they do!.
Q: Human beings are animals too!. I don't see how that makes sense!. How are we any different from the other animals eating those of another species!?
A: While you may want to group yourself with all animals, I prefer to remain with the human race - as I have the ability to reason and feel in more complex ways than other animals!. Carniverous animals don't have the ability to consciously tell when their prey is in pain!. That is a HUGE difference between human and animal!. We possess the capacity to know better and do better - and we should!.
Q: I just think what we do as humans is natural needless to say I think our teeth prove that we were made to be omnivores!
A: REALLY!? Can you tear through the flesh of a cow or pig with your "sharp" teeth!? No!? Well, then you weren't designed to eat meat!. Do your canine teeth look like the canines of a lion or tiger!? Or even your family cat or dog!? No!? They're not that sharp!? Then you weren't designed to eat meat!. Can you eat your meat raw without running the risk of illness or disease!? No!? Well, then your stomach and digestive tract were not designed to eat meat!.
Nice try!.!.!.but I think you're a bit misinformed!.

Is it unethical to eat meat!? In my opinion hunting your own meat is more preferable to shop bought meat!. Whilst hunting is not something I would do myself, there is less suffering involved, the animal hasn't been pumped with growth promoters, and the animal has lived a natural life outdoors!. (At least wild animals have felt the earth beneath their feet and the sun on their backs unlike the animals in factory farms)!. So in that regard, I wouldn't oppose!.!.!. However, I AM firmly against killing animals for ''fun'' or ''entertainment'' though!.
Some animals NEED to eat meat, like lions!. It's the natural way!. But raising animals for food on factory farms is different!. Slaughterhouses are not 'natural'!. In addition to that, biologically speaking the human body doesn't require meat to function optimally!. Animals that are raised for human consumption are destined for a premature gruesome death!. People can be vegetarian for a number of reasons!. Some do it for reasons unrelated to ethics, like health or environmental concerns!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i have a funny (maybe) story to share: i have a very, very old neighbor here that says she won't never eat meat!. all she eats all the time are just vegetables!. even fish she won't eat!.
here is what i did: i cooked some kind of food (just don't know in English), a combination of bean sprouts, carrots, onions, string beans, shrimp and grind meat (pork)!. i cut the ingredients into small and tiny pieces and mixed them all, then wrap it with a paperwrap (edible) and fry it!. i brought some for the old woman and she ate telling it tastes so good!. and they told me that it is the first time that this old woman ate meat but she didn't know i mixed it with meat and no one told her so!.
*i think, vegetarians if they don't see the real meat and doesn't know the taste, i guess they coud eat too!. just like Muslims who said that they won't eat "pigs" (pork) but i knew some here in my country Muslims eating pork and they love it!. so i don't know really what made them believe so!.!.!.
NB* no offense to any Muslim reader or vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I agree, we are animals and animals kill for meat!.
Here is a scientific reason why humans should eat meat and that is, if we were meant to JUST eat veggies, then we would have our eyes on the side of our heads!.
Have you seen animals that are just herbivores, like rabbits, they have their eyes on the side of the their head, b/c they don't need to have them in the front b/c they don't need to track animals!. All omnivores and carnivores have their eyes in the front which are able to track animals!. We have canines (even though not as pronounced as our ancestors), but we do have them for tearing meat!. Humans are animals, we eat meat!. If people rather not eat animals then let them go ahead and do so!. But I am tired of hearing people that are vegans telling those that aren't that we are horrible people for eating animals!. Thats the one thing i dont like, they are putting their beliefs on others!.

humans have the right to eat whatever they want,i eat meat and even though i am a rancher i eat it in moderation!.i only eat the meat i raise so i know where it came from and i use only grass pasture for feeding them!.i raise Tibetan royal yak X black angus cattle and they are shipped to the next town for butchering for restaurants!.everything is used and nothing is wasted!.most of the vegetarians that i know are from the city and have never raised their own livestock or spent any time on a farm or ranch and have the notion that cows,bulls and other livestock are big friendly animals with big brown eyes until i let them stand next to the bull or calf fences and they find out how"nice"they really are and yes a bull or cow would rather kill you and think nothing of it ,and they are vegetarians!.sows will kill you and then eat you!.chickens (we call them yard-birds)are well just annoying,goats will eat anything including paint wood and tires and are just generally destructive,sheep will eat the grasses down to the roots and then dig up the roots to eat and if left on a pasture too long will make a desert out of it!.like i said you can eat whatever you want but also remember that i takes machinery that burns fossil fuels to cultivate the vegetables,chemical pesticides to get the best yield per bushel and ammonia hydroxide to put the nutrients back into the ground for the next crop!.my livestock fertilizes the ground as it eats so it naturally helps produce its next crop of grass,even feedlots produce natural fertilizer for organic farmers!.
EDIT:for those who think that humans arent made to eat meat you may want to look at the differances between human digestive tract and a ruminant digestive tract and the humans inabillity to digest grasses and other leafy vegitables for nutrition and a source of fat that the human body needs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hellinor_rigby said you were misinformed, but reading what she wrote, I think her answer is misinforming and at times inaccurate!.
The only difference between humans and every other animal is that we have learnt how to farm!. If any other species could do this they would!.
I used to look after a herd of 100 cows and none of them were crammed anywhere and not one was kept in any filthy conditions!. To get a good yield of milk you have to treat animals with respect and keep them relaxed and content!. If you don't, then their milk yield will drop!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
