Becoming a vegetarian...

I would like to stop eating meat. I have always enjoyed eating meat. However, I first started questioning the morality behind eating meat a few years ago, but have kept putting it off and just kept on eating it and blocking out any thought behind how it actually gets to me. Now I just can't put it of anymore.

How hard is it to totally cut out meat, fish, poultry, gelatine etc...?

Why the **** is something that our modern ancestors been doing for thousands of years, something that many creatures in the animal kingdom does on a daily basis, immoral?

Honestly... I just don't get the logic behind it.

Because our modern ancestors were all babaric savages?

So by that logic existing meat eaters are barbaric savages too. More arrogance from vege's.
Much like religious people.

And what do you mean by "modern ancestors" how far back? Certainly in the last 2000 years we have been civilised, unless you want to class Romans uncouth. Before that and certainly 10,000+ years in unrecorded history, then probably savages.

Plants have nervous systems and many animals appear to lack a CNS let alone have any sign of high-level cognition beyond reactive control.

Plus the production of vegetables causes the deaths of millions of animals. Indeed, more animals die making a plate of pasta and sauce than making a big juicy steak. Let a lone that arable crop/vegetable production removes the habitat and has led to the extinction of many animals.


Following the logic of vegetarians that some how eating animals is immoral, whatever that means, then I have always been perplexed at why vegetarians just don't kill them selves to "rid the earth of human pestilence".
 
Another veggy here. Not only no meat (which when i was younger in a muslim upbringing was hell, everything had meat in it :D ), but also fair trade which means no main stream chocolate (tbh i really miss chocolate), tea, coffee etc, etc.

i dont try to convert people, but i dont half get people trying to get me back to meat and cadburys :D

Dont even try to get in their heads, you could be here all year.

Humans are omnivores, they can live either way.

You could just as easily live a perfectly life eating nothing but meat as you could eating nothing but a vegaterian diet.
 
Eating meat contributed to the evolution of human beings.

Correct. Otherwise we would be still like monkeys (more animal than self aware) which are generally vegetarian. Chimps sometimes eat meat, and what do you know they're one of the most intelligent primates around.
 
Intelligent carnivores

Humans
Dolphins
Sharks
Cats
Dogs
Chimps
Bears
Crows and Ravens
Rats

Herbivores
Cows
Sheep
Wildebeest
Gerbils and hamsters

Only parrots come to mind as intelligent herbivores.
 
4 i dont find the brutal life and final slaughter of animals nice or justifiable.





another pathetic comment, as said, if you have nothing better to say dont post

I don't find the destruction of ecosystems and the lives of wildlife, pumping of poisons onto the land nice. so what point are you trying to make?

Maybe you should have read the last part of your own post before hitting that reply button.

Not quite, if you only ever ate meat then scurvy or similar ailments would affect you so you do need some form of vegetables/fruits or supplements in your diet but it is perfectly true to say that humans are omnivorous. If you are vaguely sensible and eat a balanced diet then it really shouldn't matter whether you are predominantly vegetarian or carnivorous.
