You've completely misread or misunderstood my post.

Eating meat is not wrong, overconsumption is wrong, wasting resources is wrong. The question of morality is, is it right to over consume the planet to the point we extinguish other species, or even our own? Are we comfortable that future generations look back on us as selfish and greedy for what we did, or didn't do?

I am not vegetarian, pardon the pun but that's maybe what your beef is about

Again, I''m confused by the very, very strange replies.

Yes, it seems I did misunderstand your post, because you started it with saying that after watching "My Octopus Teacher" you decided never to eat calamari again. The context of the film and the post is that cephallopods are intelligent creatures and I thought that you meant you decided never to eat callamari again because of that.

So now I'm very confused. Why did you decide never to eat calamari again? What does your decision have to do with a film about an octopus? What does any of that have to do with over-consumption?

You made your comment very confusing so I was confused. Thanks for clarifying, but it's still very confusing so don't go accusing me of having any "beef" with anyone. Just make sure your comments are easier to understand.

No it really wasn't confusing. Perhaps English isn't your native language, nowhere did I mention meat, unless you define a mollusc as meat (some vegetarians do choose not to eat them). I think you just wanted an argument on the internet which you'll find I don't do

Right, so you didn't think that cephallopods are meat. OK. That is why your comment is confusing.

Also, you are very impolite.
