|
 |
Just a simple question. My belief is now that meat is not a necessity. There are a number of nutrients that are essential to the human body and meat contains some of these nutrients. Most importantly protein and iron. I can imagine people may emotionally feel meat is necessary, because the appreciate the taste so much.
But as it turns out, these substances are also found in a lot of other foods. It's found in all sorts of legumes, nuts, soy and dairy. This is the reason people outside the Western world don't starve to death instantly. Plants are much cheaper to produce than meat. So rationally as long as you make sure you get the right nutrients, I think your body wouldn't care whether you eat meat or not.
I'd like to point out what this thread is not:
-meat bashing
-everyone should be vegetarian
-etc.
So I'd like to focus on the nutritional facts and opinions.

I think we've covered this quite well before. No one disagrees with the fact that you can obtain everything you need from other sources. The problem is that these other sources are far more expensive then just buying the meat (The economics), and that most people prefer the taste of meat. I don't really see this thread going anywhere.

We eat meat and willfully slaughter living beings based on our desire for meat and conditioning - not any real necessity.

I know a few vegetarians. But they need to pay special attention to what they eat to make up for meat. (At least thats what one of them once told me)
I really like meat, but I try to reduce my meat consumption in general. When I eat meat, I want quality. There is a butcher not far from where I live that sells Meat from beasts raised on biological food and without the use of growth-hormones. Maybe it's just an illusion, but that meat tastes really good.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

i dunno about the body, but i know not eating meat corrupts your "essence"... call it a soul or whatever you want, it is that which defines you and makes you more than the sum of your collective parts... not eating meat corrupts your very being and makes you an empty shell of a person.

nothing to do with superstition. meat enriches your life. you mightnt need it for your body to live, but i dont think thats the only relevant factor in why we eat, or why we do ANYTHING 
i think youre taking what i said a bit too seriously or too literally... but its kinda like saying COULD you live your entire life in a single room... well sure you could, but would that really be "living"?
i couldnt enjoy life without meat, simple as that... so while my body mightnt need it to live, 'i' DO. |

That could be.
That, or it's just that you need some kind of moronic fairytale to support your conditioned desire to eat meat.
In any case, I eat meat heartily - but I don't need to be in denial about supporting the slaughter of animals for the good of my "soul".
It's about facing the truth of what you do.

If you had said "killed by a cucumber" you could have mistakenly just created the best joke of the week

My sis havnt touched meat (the food, not dick) for years, and she's in as good, if not better health than before.
Her behaviour have not changed at all etc. Shes pretty much the same person as she was before she stopped eating meat.
I hate you.
