everyone is an expert when it comes to nutrition and politics lul.
if eating animals is so "natural" then why do humans have to use all sorts of tools to kill, cook, and flavor it to make it palatable? do you see any other species that does this? do you naturally salivate at the thought of ripping through your live prey's flesh, enjoying chewing through the fur and blood and all? because any other species that was designed for killing has those types of natural responses. none of you meat eaters would be willing to be faced with that reality.

There are lots of people who would and do kill animals. So the last part of your argument is just silly ^^ I wouldn't, but I've already admitted that ^^ As for preparation, I imagine you just pull your potatoes straight out of the ground and pop them in your mouth? Cooking was a pivotal advancement toward civilization. You know why? It takes less time to consume & process nutrient dense flesh when it is cooked.

this topic also triggers you because you know it's wrong, which is why you're so defensive and feel the need to make this thread and talk down to someone about their life choices which are different from your own. i'm confident with my own choice to be a vegetarian, so i don't have this insecurity where i need to convince other people i'm right so i'm okay about it.
what about all the american moms that feed their kids these mcdonalds diets who become blimps? which is worse? and who are you to decide how a mother is to raise her child. you need to just mind your own business.

What frustrates me is when people's delusions foster misery. Veganism/vegetarianism is largely harmless, but when a mother endangers her own child because of a ridiculous sense of moral piety derived from a practice that if made universal would result in widespread misery as I've explained above. But of course you're right, the fact that other people do stupid and irresponsible things excuses this particular stupid and irresponsible thing.
I battle delusion wherever I encounter it because it is in the interest of humanity.
Compassion in the absence of reason is only by accident ever more than selfishness.
