It's called an analogy.

You know, where we compare two things that are conceptually similar but not quite the same or sometimes not even close in magnitude.
It was a good one and clearly not hyperbolic

Choose whatever magnitude you think fits, it is meant to highlight a blatant blase attitude toward right and wrong, and it serves that purpose. If not rape, then stealing, kicking a dog, locking a human in a cage, whatever.

Then you're not talking about eating him at all ^^ You just the authority on silliness tonight though, huh?
I had to force myself to write silly and not 'fucking retarded' out of respect for the fact that you're always civil and respectful. It was difficult but I did it

Any of you ever slaughter your own food? It's humbling.

Our teeth break meat apart perfectly fine. We possess both the sharpness and the strength in our teeth to easily chew and grind meat to make it easily digestible by our bodies.

Beyond that, we also possess the capacity to cook food which makes it even easier to eat. Perhaps that had something to do with the shape of our teeth. Like a warning, its easier if you cook it.

Not true in any way. This kind of propaganda is put out by the same people that claim there is man-made global warming and endorse eugenics, but has been debunked on every level by tens of thousands of scientists.



Its sad that animals suffer. You are right, they should do something to prevent that. That isn't an argument why we aren't supposed to eat meat though.
I feel like you read like 3 words in my post, got bored and then just made up your own arguments but sure, I'll play ball.

I actually agreed about the teeth thing. We have the teeth of an omnivore. It's true. They've evolved to be good at processing meat. That also doesn't matter at all though. What we evolved to do and what we have the ability to do with technology are completely separate things.

Humans live in a lot of environments we shouldn't, we've extended our lifespans far beyond what should be typical in 'nature', we've treated genetic ailments allowing them to perpetuate through our species rather than being culled as part of the evolutionary process. How is the shape of our teeth an argument for or against what we do with them? It's completely asinine. Why ignore so many other inherent traits of our species but suggest that this one is so important that we better leave it alone?

Climate change is a consensus fact in the scientific community. That's only part of the sustainability argument, but if you're going to argue that the reality of anthropogenic climate change has something to do with a eugenics conspiracy (?), I don't really want to even start that conversation with you.

The moral argument is the one I always found most compelling. Not really sure how you're attempting to refute it there, but yes, it is sad that we choose to allow animals to suffer for the sake of our convenience. I agree that we should do something about that.

As for the guy worried about lettuce feelings, I'm not even going to bother, dude.
