Why do so many people like meat?

yes I know this is a random question


Answers:
Most people like what is good for them. Meat is one of the best things for you. So is chocolate

All I can think about is my hunk of prime rib on Christmas eve with lots of aus jus.
I love meat.

Because we are supposed to eat it. Our carnivorous teeth prove this.

Because it tastes sooooo goooooood!

Because it's yummy ... and we're AMERICAN!

Because if we weren't supposed to eat it, it wouldn't taste so good!

Same reason why some people like sweet, or salty... Meat (and mushrooms and some cheese) satisfies umami, the 5th taste. This is the part of taste receptors that tastes "savory" or "meaty" i.e. glutamates.

There is also the texture of a great, prefectly grilled steak... The crispy skin of roasted duck... Crunchy bacon. Yum, imo.

Oh, and don't forget society. For guys, meat is manly. Being able to afford meat in some cultures is also a sign of "plenty." Think of those old "Where's the beef?" commercials.

Personally, I eat it because sometimes I crave it, like I do with any type of food, be it fruit, vegetable, or unidentifiable fast food, lol. Just gimme a good steak sandwich with some provolone on it and some au jus on the side... I'm in carnivorous heaven! ;)

It's just so darned TASTY.

I love meat. It's tasty and filling. It's not real fattening and it's just delicious. I guess I don't really know why.

'cause they are weird and don't care what happens to poor animals.

good ?

Because its easy to get to. If it were harder to get a hamburger then less people would eat it.

because they are conditioned into it

Because they are societally conditioned to. People don't like raw meat, it isn't tasty. Most people don't even like meat with out condiments or flavourings.

As someone was saying above, having meat was a sign of plenty. As in it was eaten very RARELY. The reason we have so many illnesses these days is because of increased meat consumption. Meat is now a sign of heart disease, cancer & obesity.

because its in our nature to eat meat.

They do not realize where it actually comes from, and those who do, like to cut that part out of it to make the pain of the reality easier to cope with. They also do not know life any other way and think that it is healthy. They are uneducated about the subject and think its what your supposed to do.

good thats why

It tastes good and supplies nutrients to our body.
