Have you ever spent any time around chickens? I have and all I can say is that they're little more than a hyperactive reptile. Look into its eye and there is nothing there.
So what if it's raised in a cage ... guess what? It does not care! It can't care. Its only going to be there for a few months an it doesn't have any aspirations for the future at all.
All this crap about "the poor animals, they'll never see the beauty and majesty of a sunset, never wish upon a falling star" is due the the Disney effect. All those movies of cute, furry animals talking and having adventures stick in the mind and, yeah, a lot of people CAN'T distinguish between fantasy and reality.

[Anonymous No.3704884]

Well, animals eat animals. It's a fact of life. Consider also that the ancestors of the entire human race were a bunch of scavengers who ate whatever they could and probably only survived over other scavengers because we could break open bones and eat the marrow by smashing them with rocks. We are an omnivorous species, we have been for a long time. We can eat nearly anything, as opposed to most species which only eat a few things. In fact, the best diets are ones composed of just that--everything. Eat lots of plant matter, eat a fair portion of meat, it doesn't really matter. Humans have been known to survive and thrive on diets ranging from fully carnivorous to fully herbivorous, with every degree of omnivore in between.

Speaking economically and environmentally, current farming practices are terrible no matter whether you're looking at plant or animal food sources, so that's no good argument.

[Anonymous No.3704907]

I'm a vegetarian, but not because I think eating meat is wrong or that it's tainted with anything. I only eat things that I kill myself that's been living in the wild beforehand. It allows me the satisfaction of the kill and the rewards of a filling meal fro me and my family.

I haven't seen that film but I have read a fair share of the information it is based upon and as I understand, there is a safe zone percentage of animal products we can consume day to day without the negative long-term health effects*. Yes, the percent is small, but it's been enough to satisfy me for some time now, even before getting interested in the info. I've never been big on buying and cooking meat but if offered some or in the mood, I'll easily have a little. Similar for dairy, though I do buy a little here and there.

*If you seek the information earnestly, you're likely to find it.

So my excuse? I don't need one. I feel that my judgement in the matter is fairly sound. I don't believe 0% animal food consumption is necessary. I read all labels and research all ingredients for things I consume so furthermore, I feel my judgement is even optimum. Some may disagree and that's ok because I'm not trying to persuade anyone into doing anything. I just wanted to say these things while the topic is open. Almost made me late for back-to-work.

hey faggot, you think the massive among of veggies you need to consume in order to sustain your fragile faggot body are being grown on the moon?

forests are being cut, marshes and ponds are getting dried up, natural habitats are being destroyed and many animals die in the process of planting your fucking tomatoes and soya beans, so all it comes down to these two points:

1)who are you to decide which animals are ok to be killed and which aren't
2)meat is much more nutritious and has much lesser impact on fragile ecosystems such as the one I live at since it requires much less physical space.
3)you are a faggot and it's none of your business, meat is delicious, I don't eat it often at all mostly sticking to fish and my own porch grown veggies, but you self righteous liberal hypocrites just piss me off, drown in a pool of aids

I seriously can't understand people making arguments for the meat industry. Consuming factory farmed meat destroys the environment in several ways, destroys health, hurts your children or potential children even more, tortures animals, and contributes to environmental degradation which directly influences everyone's health (look up the research on towns in the vicinity of factory farms - it's disgusting).

Even if all the meat you consume is truly organic (doubtful), eating meat more than 3 times a week is too much meat to make a "it's necessary for my health" argument.

I eat meat, but very sparingly, because the only meat that I purchase is the non-poisonous kind i.e. very expensive. Meat is not the problem - the over-consumption and subsequent industrialized corporate structure through which most meat is made, is.

[Anonymous No.3705235]

>>3705227

Obviously it's their right. I'm not arguing that. If people want to drink all day long and sleep in a dumpster, that's their right to do that. That's not my argument. My argument is that anybody who cares about their health, the health of their children, the health of the planet, and the health of our economy (gee, i wonder why socialized healthcare costs a fuck ton in unhealthy countries), and considers themselves to be well-informed and rational individuals, should probably not eat meat very often, and when they do, it should not come from a factory.

But you're absolutely right, it is not my place to assume that these things are your prerogative.

>They reuse fields, you know...

They re-use fields by mining phosphorous, grinding it up and using it as fertilizer. The entire process depends on cheap fossil fuels and is massively damaging to the environment... AND that's if you limit yourself to locally grown veggies which almost no vegetarians do.

A combination of local crops and animals is far better for the environment.

No, I'm well aware that adequate nutrients can be had without meat. But the body needs protein to survive, and I haven't had much but carbohydrates, beans, and every so often, some vegetables in the last couple of months. That's why I'm nutrient deficient. Not from lack of meat, but from a lack of money to buy a variety of healthy food. Next time, actually read my post before replying.
