I presented the truth. You are free to accept it or reject it.
The fact that you reject it does not mean it is false. A question was asked and I answered it. You can get over it if you find it offensive. I find it offensive that you called what I said to be false. I can get over that.

You made a claim, and that claim consisted of a logical fallacy. (That doesn't make the claim false, btw.)
You make a similar mistake here and again present a false dichotomy. I can accept or reject the claim, sure, but instead I analyzed it, and pointed out two flaws, a logical mistake and a moral repugnancy. You fail to address either point!

Wow man you are blind. No way to discuss with a person who can't see the truth.
You can respond if you like but I am not wasting more time on this.
Originally posted by twhitehead Eating meat is not necessary for good health. It is however much easier to make good tasting healthy food with meat. So you need to balance difficulty with whatever argument you might have for eating meat being bad.
What reasons have you considered so far for thinking eating meat is bad?
Why is eating meat bad? It's not if your human.
For I just can't look into a cows eyes and then eat it.
I know plants are alive too but killing them (or harvesting them) has far less karma and is easily worked off (this is basic Hindu thinking)
