Current Events > Why haven't you gone vegan?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Without trying to be edgy, why do you support the torture and murder of animals? A lot of you probably claim to love animals. A lot of you probably have pets. Yet you eat animals. Why?

I am a carnivore, a predator. I eat animals any combination of weaker and dumber then me. Just like my ancestors always have.

Do you ask the bee why it stings? The snake why it bites? No, because it is its nature to do so.

Similarly dont ask me why I eat meat. Man did not grow strong on cabbage.

This bait isn't great

You're not a carnivore at all. You're an omnivore at the most. And look at how strong this vegan guy is.

So why support the murder of animals again? Because your ancestors did it? Perhaps your ancestors did other bad things. Does that justify you doing them?

Because it tastes good and we are built as omnivores. It's not my fault we developed the intelligence to be top of the chain.

Also, murder is the unlawful killing of human beings.

Meat only tastes good because it's seasoned with plants. Would you kill and eat a chicken raw?

No, because I am not some base animal, nor do I want to die of disease.

1. Meat tastes good
2. Vegetables taste bad and I can't eat them
3. I don't care about how animals are treated before they become meat

what do you think would happen to all the farm animals if we didn't eat them?

Whatever plants the pig ate before you ate the pig.

I've been mostly vegan for a few months now. Still a social animal product user.

There's no way to morally justify it, but I started for the health benefits. Humans ain't built for long term meat consumption.

You're entitled to your opinion, but as far as the reasoning - should we do things strictly due to tradition, or follow our nature unquestioningly? A lot of human progress owes to the fact that we don't

And as far as in our initial development, sure. But at present there are many vegan pro-athletes putting this notion to rest
