You make interesting points.

If I were to eat meat, I would rather eat an animal that has been hunted than one that has been factory-farmed all its life. A wild animal that grows up free to engage in its natural behaviors and meets its end at the hands of a predator who consumes it entirely (or as much as possible to minimize waste) is far preferable to th ying populations) and consumes all he kills can't help but be fully cognizant of the process.

Can't pretend to get all my meat from wild game. Take deer for instance, it's leanness makes it a healthier alternative to beef and is free of drugs used on raised cattle. I do purchase meat from the grocery store and enjoy it as well. I am not naive to the conditions you mention these animals face, such as giving dairy cows estrogen to increase milk production. I won't even get into the process they use to make hotdogs. 😀

I guess we can agree to disagree on what we prefer to eat. 😉

Where did I say that plants breathe? As you state, they put off the oxygen we breathe through photosynthesis. They might not have a nervous system, but look at what destruction of the rainforest and other habitat closer to home has done to other aspects of the environment; global warming, overpopulated animals living in the backyards of suburbia, etc.

Ahhh. that means that you must be a psychopath that hunts and kills animals.

Your rainforest argument is severely flawed, if you can't see where it is in error, i won't go to the trouble, i just won't even bother. And you are only providing a clueless description, yes the rainforests are being destroyed, but you *magically* manage to not show what caused this to happen, to delineate the real causes, to point out the anthropocentric greed, carelessness and wanton neglect that causes this to occur.

The question was relevant seeing someone saw no post made by a vegetarian that made sense. That implies knowing who is and who is not, which is probably not that easy.

No, the nonsensical spew and expedient disinformation is not coming from any veggies, it's the other way around. And you shouldn't glorify their errant stoopidity, childish behavior and NIMBYist arrogance.

I enjoy meat.
I do not view meat as murder.
I remember waaaayyyyy back when (about 350 years ago) we were hunting and gathering and
there was some vegetarian tribesman that we constantly made fun of
for not eating flying squirrel.
He might have been th ...[text shortened]... the best at preparing hot wings.
Hot wings and cold beer---damn, I am soooo hungry right now!

stoopid. gutless. sissyboy.

Rainforest getting cut down for soy beans, soy beans used for feeding animals (not for making soy burgers). Global warming partly (presumably) caused by methane from cattle. Meat eating symptoms.

Through your words I now know the meaning of life.

Anyway enjoy your meat.

It's not my choice but I have far less of a problem with that than with mindless, ignorant consumption.

Mimor pay attention! There is no such thing as ethical murder, get it together man. And i find it rather strange that you seek to "classify" different types of ignorance, putting some retarded selfish sub-human who hunts his next meal with a loaded gun or worse, on a pedestal above the mindless consumption of food.

You'll win no discussion or respect with words like these, no matter how right or wrong you are...

yeah, they are acting like sissyboys, but that's just my opinion. win an argument with a "mmmboy! eat meat it tastes good" deranged selfish fool, or a psychopathic sub-human hunter and animal killer. yeesh.
