You might want to develop your comment instead of just using words that are mostly used for blind trolling ("nazism").

Wanting to exterminate all the jews and maintain the superiority of some concept of an Aryan race is nazism. Grading the edibility of animals by our perception of their intelligence might be right or might be wrong depending on your moral/ethical framework, but I'm not sure there is any consistent worldview in which it actually is nazism.

In other words, your comment doesn't help the vegetarian cause, and maybe being a bit more thoughtful is a small price to pay to turn that around.

There are many lines of argument to support meat consumption (all of which are easily refuted). Justifying it via a genetic hierarchy is one of the sickest.
You're not going to get anywhere by calling an argument "sick" but then not explaining why it is mistaken.
Perhaps so, but it isn't nazism.
