Are you claiming ignorance or what?Dom Kebbell said:No, only that the act of eating can be done with no moral compass then it can't intrinsically be a moral or immoral act, it is simply a biological function that has certain requirements.Timotheus said:And when one says living while meaning sentient, that absoluty proves his point wrong. And pray continue using creatures without the ability to choose as a moral compass. It shows a lot about your attitude towards yourself and other humans.Dom Kebbell said:What are these miraclous things that you can eat that where never alive?Phoenixlight said:Killing another living creature to eat it for your lunch is morally wrong when you can just as easily eat something else that doesn't involve death or suffering.
And please, explain that to a tiger, or a shark, or a house cat...
How you obtain food is the morality question.
Of course if you happen to find meat by miracle or artificially produced, it is not bad, but in the world eating meat comes with buying this kind of food and therefore making a demand for it, so it will by produced by slaughterhouses, demanding animals. The whole system depends on the consumer's will on the long term and therefore eating meat leads to the obvious negative consequences.Dom Kebbell said:No, only that the act of eating can be done with no moral compass then it can't intrinsically be a moral or immoral act, it is simply a biological function that has certain requirements.

Maybe they'll get together and give us some new humor. Kinda like guest stars on a sitcom. Maybe a homosexual-meateater protest.Bigsmith said:I see where your coming from, but I find their blind ignorance hilarious.MartialArc said:Pffft. Fox news isn't nearly as funny as PETA.

Actually, judging by our teeth, we are omnivores.The Apothecarry said:Meat is murder. Sweet, sweet, delicious murder.
We evolved to become carnivores, not herbivores. It's not an opinion: It's SCIENCE.
skinnbones3440 said:First off, biologically speaking, humans are herbivores. Calling us omnivores is a grade school lie like how Christopher Columbus set out to prove the world was round. We have intestinal proportions consistent with herbivores. Our saliva has carbohydrate processing enzymes, only present in herbivores. We have no sharp teeth or claws, speed, or hunting instincts consistent with that of a carnivore. Due to the length of our intestines we absorb fats and things that carnivores don't. No matter how much meat they eat, true carnivores CAN'T clog their arteries.
While, in the past, eating meat provided us with some nutrients that could otherwise be incredibly difficult to obtain, this is not the truth in today's supermarket society. If you live in a developed country you can eat a completely balanced vegan diet without supplements.
In fact, eating meat can be incredibly bad for you in more than just that it contains fat and can cause mad cow, salmonella, etc. Animal proteins make our blood acidic, which in order to balance our blood's pH, causes our body to break down our bones. That's why even though Americans put cheese on practically everything we eat, still have the highest rate of osteoporosis of any country because we also eat more meat than any other country.
Unless you have raised it your self, people do you know. Ideal would be vat grown meat, which is on the way. untill then i agree that most people will eat meat that has been slaughtered in at best questionable conditions.Timotheus said:Of course if you happen to find meat by miracle or artificially produced, it is not bad, but in the world eating meat comes with buying this kind of food and therefore making a demand for it, so it will by produced by slaughterhouses, demanding animals.
