This. Meat isn't bad for you. Truth is everything is good in moderation. Humans are naturally Omnivores anyways, it makes no sense to alter our diets just to "stop killing animals".
I've altered my diet cuz I don't agree with the way our animals are harvested in factory farms.
But yeah, it's hard to completely stay away from meat. I just try to eat way less or eat organic.
I went vegan for a week...it was expensive. Much easier to be a vegetarian. The week did show me that its not necessary to consume as much animal products as most are use to. My body did feel better not having meat every day, let alone every other day.
I will never understand the logic of fighting for animals being treated better before we kill them. Would you feel better about death if you got to die comfortably? Probably, but for things you plan to eat it just sounds odd that you want your to eat your meal knowing it got to your plate in peace.
"oh, i have a cat or dog i love so much, i would take a bullet for him, but heres a steak im eating that came from a cow that was forced into a machine that cut his head off and hung him upside down"
That is so true, my facebook is full of BS like that.
Idiots posting pictures of baby seals being clubbed, cats in cages and dogs being slaughtered while freaking out over it. Then you ask them, "what's the difference between that cat and a cow?" and they go silent.
I've been a vegetarian for 5 years, I have never pushed my agenda or my beliefs about vegetarianism on anyone, not even my girlfriend. And I don't really care what people think about vegetarians or about animal rights because people simply don't care. But people who pretend to care or actually care as long as it comes to "cute" animals are true idiots and they piss me off.
Some nutrients(B12, iron, etc) from meat are necessary for early childhood(brain and muscle development), if you do want to have your child on a vegan diet then you have to monitor his or her diet closely and refer to a doctor for guidance on a balanced vegan diet with supplements.

Exactly I dont think it makes anymore sense if the animal dies in a humane way. The animal still doesnt want to die for you.

Yup, i've argued this as well here on Ish, about Michael Vick. Their excuse is dogs and cats are smarter and are our pets. Mans best friend blah blah blah.
Something tell me that most of the vegans or vegetarians that felt better after they stopped eating meat are those that ate MCdonalds or other fast food every day
