Sarah...a veggie trying to argue their point of view to a meat eater is akin to arguing with a christian about the none-existence of a god. Pointless patheticology!

Go ahead all you omnicarnivores, keep eating all that lovely healthy meat, then when you reach 50 and you have permanent man boobs don't come crying to me!
Although I do have the number of a good surgeon!

Haven't you ever wondered why cows don't sh*t like a horse or a sheep?
Ever wondered why they seem to have permanent diarrhoea?
Growth hormones my dear friends, turns their poo into sludge!

Not eating meat is a decision, eating meat is an instinct

We are mere humans. We don't have instincts.

But eating meat is natural. It's all we had back in the day...10,000 years ago.

edit: Now I'm just talking out of my @$$ just for the fun of it. HAHAHAaaaa

I thought you were going to say because they are veggies hahaha

I didn't eat meat for 2 years for ethical reasons...I started eating it again a couple of months ago but I'm thinking of stopping again as I can't deal with preparing meat. The problem I have is with farming methods, slaughtering etc. I don't want to die...I like being alive and I'm not all that comfortable about animals having to die for my benefit...you have to draw the line somewhere and I drew it at not consuming meat and meat by-products altho I did still eat eggs. I wouldn't worry about eating anything with yeast in as it's only a fungus...as for germs and bacteria etc...all the little guys, well they don't have a pulse!

Some people argue along the lines of "well there wouldn't be any turkeys/cows/sheep...whatever...if they weren't farmed for food" but is a life worth living if it's the animal equivalent of a concentration camp and is as far removed from what is considered to be natural as possible? (remember...meat eaters argue about what's natural all the time when they put forward their argument!)

Oh and another thing...(I'm on a roll now)...why is it that people like to think they are above animals, that animals were put on this planet to serve our purpose and then rely on the traits that make us similar to animals when putting forward their argument...things like instinct, it's natural blah blah blah. Rant over!!

I hope you only buy 'free-range' eggs ... its battery farming that is the most sickening ... at least cows get to roam fields before they become beef burgers!
