    I like meat. I prefer meat to not meat. No personal belief prevents me from eating meat other than the fact that some taste gross. Beef is what's for dinner.

    As for cruelty towards animals, I solve that problem by not thinking about it.

    Yeah, or else join soccer teams and crash in the middle of the Andes and have to eat each other to survive.

    Nice entry Nicceh, but I ask you this: don't you assign a 'good' to veggies? It is 'good' for a carrot to be watered, and it is 'good' for plants to grow freely without weeds around sucking up their nutrients. It's also good if you don't pluck them out of the ground or cut them up just so you can have some veggies for dinner. Also those giant machines that grind up plants in the field often run over scared cute little rabbits and other small critters. So being a vegetarian is still a direct source of both killing animals (bad) and killing vegetables (bad).

    Which is why I asked my question about veganism. *nod*

    the argument that animals die in farm machinery is a ridiculously stupid argument against vegetarianism. besides, the point is intent.

    As you may have read, PG, the point of vegetarianism/veganism is to *minimise* the impact we have on animals and the environment.

    Oh, and don't think I'm not acutely aware of how land is cleared to grow vegetables, and small rodents and insects and such are killed by threshers and pesticides, and how just like Roald Dahl says every little chorophyllfilledcell screeches as it's torn from the ground and onto my plate, Sir.

    hmm well I still stand by the fact that humans are not herbivores we need meat as part of our balanced diet eating meat keeps us strong and also helps with the digestive system (not to mention eating a cow lowers methane pollution! )

    Then we kill them in order to maintain whatever population control is necessary for optimal survival. Eating animals (in theory) is wrong only because they are sentient. Eating veggies is wrong because there is a good associated to life, and to end life is bad. So we're not allowed to eat anything unless it just happens to have died and we found it.

    Which is why I just say 'forget all that' and do whatever I want. So I'm unethical. My question is: so what?

    And I'm not trying to be uncaring, but more curious as to why despite our human chauvinism we don't consider the good of the animal or the planet subservient to us. All sorts of questions come up actually, especially when I see vegetarians who eat veggies for moral reasons (no offence to the lot of ya).
