Why do people eat beef????????!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

For the same reason that you probably eat tofu and don't worship it? Sorry I don't mean to be sarcastic here, but that's kind of a loaded question. I wish we could just respect each others choices.

Not everyone who eats beef does so without a reason. A meat-free diet would probably kill me from slow malnutrition, considering I'm allergic to soy and my body doesn't process vegetables very well.

I like beef, I think it tastes good and I feel best when I include it in my diet. I don't believe for one moment that humans were meant to be vegans... look at herbivore animals - none of them have canine teeth. We are omnivores.

The nice thing about our modern civilization is that we have the option to CHOOSE if we are going to eat meat or not. Some people don't understand the horribleness that is the CAFO, but some of us do, and choose to raise our own chemical-free meat or buy it from local farmers.

Please - can we just respect that some people eat meat without being sarcastic or condescending about it? I would expect my fellow meat-eaters to also give vegetarians and vegans that same courtesy.

Because that's what they are taught to do and it "taste good.". I ate cows without a care or thought for a long time until I realize for myself that it just didn't seem right to treat some animals better than others. Like in other places....they treat dogs HORRIBLE and I've seen it for myself. I love dogs so you can imagine how angry it made me. But yet here I was gladly contributing to the exploitation of cows and chickens. Especially when I learned about "factory farms" taking over traditional farming....it became an ethical issue for me. Animals are not even treated like "animals" more like factory machines to gain profit. That's not right.

I don't eat beef because I truly care about issues that most people don't even give a thought to....yet. Vegetarians are growing though :) Also, I don't have canine teeth. I look at my dogs teeth and no way I can compare mine to his long sharp teeth, I use my little teeth to bite into fruits like apples.

And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.”
Luke 15:23-24

People eat beef because it is a symbol of rejoicing and celebration. Besides it's taste is savoring and it provides nutrients for our bodies.

because thats what they believe in and its their choice to stay loyal to it, for us americans beef is one of the most cooked meat served in burgers, steak, and other antrays, and we either choose not to eat it because people are vegetarian or some just dont eat it but not all the time.
Id say people choose what they want to eat, so as long as they are happy with it regardless of what they look then they are responsible for what they look from it ( fat, skinny or fit)

My Opinion, its good to to eat a balance of meat and vegetables and fruits for healthy lifestlye :D

Because, a long time ago, when the winters made my crops fail, i had no choice but to eat meat, or die, if i died, along with my comrads, the human race today would be extinct, and the least bit of graditude you show to your surviving ancestors is to mock them? ungrateful vegetarians, this is why ill never be one

Hello

They are probably addicted to the chemicals, growth hormones etc that is in it, plus they do not know or do not want to know the truth of how the animals are treated, slaughtered etc. Some people find it easier to go around with blinkers on their eyes and just pick up that red piece of meat ready killed and wrapped in the shops.

Being a vegetarian isn't a choice that's right for everyone. I have tried it before, but I couldn't do it. We have canine teeth for a reason, for tearing meat. If you are a vegetarian, or not eating cows is a part of your religion, then fantastic. Stick to what you believe:)

Because beef tastes ******* delicious.

I don't worship cows like Indians probably for the same reason that Indians don't worship any other animals.

I just take it one step further than they do, and worship no animals at all.

i eat it because its delicious. people don't worship it they see them as sacred animals because that is part of their religion

Well I'm not a vegetarian but I hate meat I just can't eat it if I have to eat meat I have to it it with breed or something but people say that meat is good because it has some vitamins or something

I eat it because my favorite food is the triple decker cheeseburger.

Because cows are slow and easy to catch. Also tasty.

Because it taste delicious on nachos with beer.

Because they're greedy and they couldnt care less about their health.
