One reason I always used to eat meat is because you need less of it than eating plants or fruits to sustain your body.
But lately I'm trying to take animals out of my diet. Just an experiment to see how my body and brain functions without it. I feel nothing special except craving after meat. Just like if you were addicted to sugar or beer and what not.
I'm also seeing many people debating that in the bible God says that fruits are our meat. Others are saying that God only allowed us to eat meat after Adam and Eva sinned.
So what do you think yourself is eating meat a sin or is veganism the latest psyop?
No I'm not eating ze bugs!..
We all wind up as food at the end of our existence. My body, for example, is going to make a tasty meal for some worms and bacteria. Eating meat is not wrong. The question is two fold: the ethics of ending an animal's life early (rather than "natural" causes), and how the animal lived.
For me, personally, as long as you allow that pig to experience the fullness of being a pig while he is alive, then there is no issue in eating him. It is much more about how we live than how we die.
The more important question then becomes can we ethically terminate an animal's life early in order to meet our own needs for sustenance? And this really becomes a value choice, because there is no simple answer to this question. For billions of years this is how the food chain on earth has worked. Seems kind of ridiculous to say it is wrong. But some people insist that we are on a trajectory of "progress" and meat eating is an anachronism. If that is your value then I support your right to have it, but it isn't mine.
Also consider that ruminants can eat a lot of food sources that we can't digest, so don't talk to me about the efficiency of eating plants vs. animals. As my friend likes to say, don't you dare eat the food of my food. The food chain is a chain for a reason. Not everyone does well digesting vegetable sources of protein, and its form and concentration in meat can be extremely valuable for health.
The conclusion then, is we have to stop the torture of industrial farming of animals. That is morally and ethically wrong. Cows, for example, need to be farm finished, not sold to feed lots to be tortured for the final 6 months of their lives. But I reject the notion that a bacon cheeseburger is a sin. That is just ridiculous. And no, cow farts aren't responsible for global warming.
As an advantage, by stopping the abhorrent practice of feedlots before slaughter, we also remove one of the biggest sources of centralization of our food supply chain that is transferring massive amounts of the high prices consumers pay to deep state conglomerates rather than small, independent ranchers where it rightfully belongs.
