Grilled steak for dinner. Was off the hook. Feel sorry for dumb plant eaters. Feel even more sorry for people around them that have to smell all the greenhouse gas emissions they produce.

There is no reasonable scientific or moral defense for continuing to eat meat in a society where other options exist. It is unconscionable and unsustainable.

Eating meat is like smoking cigarettes. You can try to justify it 100 different ways, but in the end the reason why you're still doing it is because you can't be bothered to stop.

ITT: people with quite literally next to 0 idea about nutrition, the evolution of species and the nature of conciousness defend the easiest course of action because it's easy.

Said it b4 and Ill say it again.

The apple is a metaphor for meat. Its easy to obtain, its juicy, it tastes great and it comes with great consequence.

You wont get into heaven if you kill animals to eat food while you live in Eden.

The idea that vegetarianism is a healthier option has been debunked by everyone. And there are no morals.

Surprisingly, there really aren't any major studies that have been done that have provided any conclusive evidence that a vegan diet is more or less healthy. I never argued that it's healthier, just that it's not less healthy and that the fact that it "Goes against nature" is a stupid defense given how many things technology has allowed us to do that "Go against nature".

Human teeth are shaped like an omnivore's. So what? The human body can also only survive between 4 and 35 degrees celsius, should we stop using AC and furnaces because it's "Unnatural"? We do what we need to do, technologically, to continue to thrive and if we don't continue to make progress in providing alternative diets that don't rely on meats we can't keep up with the demand. Meat production is unsustainable given our current projected population growth and there aren't really any credible sources that refute that.

As far as morality is concerned, the meat industry tortures living things. You can wax relativist on it and start talking about the differences between an animal's experience versus a human's or you can try to discuss the cruel realities that exist in nature. You can even get real first year philosophy major up ins and suggest that morality is completely subjective but that line of thinking is useless at best, pretty damn dangerous at worst.

None of that changes the fact that humans, as highly developed analytical creatures with the ability to adapt to external pressures and internal preferences, have a choice to allow it to happen or allow it to stop (to whatever extent an individual can impact that). Opting out has value and while it's debatable what sort of moral value the decision has in the long run, there's not much point arguing that less death and torture is a bad thing objectively.
