Tell us how not eating meat is necessary or desirable?
I don't mind a salad, but we are omnivores and I have no issue eating meat (or byproducts like milk and cheese). I rather enjoy being at the top of the food chain.
There is nothing wrong with enforcing humane treatment and handling of animals. I think THAT is a very valid cause to fight for. Animals do deserve to live comfortably without the idiocy that they are somehow people too.
Eating meat = Suffering is every bit as stupid as Guns = Violence. It's all about doing stuff responsibly.
The question remains: if eating meat is not necessary for nutrition, and it (killing animals) causes unnecessary suffering, then tell us again what argument you have other than the utter brilliance of "it tastes good"?
Maybe you could explain to us all how taking life unnecessarily somehow does not equal suffering in your little snowflake dream world. Maybe you could explain to us all why adults (top of the food chain, eh ominivore?) shouldn't eat children if they meet your gourmet taste test, eh sport?
Explain to us all again how taking life unnecessarily is "responsible". I'm not aware of any legitimate ethical codes that would align with that particular thinking, but perhaps yours is special.
By that I mean I don't think the United Sates public would (in the foreseeable future) accept that as an alternative to animal cruelty and less about my own opinion.
In other words, bullshit. Are you really trying to convince us that because some large number of people want to mindlessly eat meat, nothing can be done?
I've been reading your posts and I can't help but notice that you sound like someone who just started taking 'Philosophy 101: Introduction to Logic' in college.
