Is eating meat a natural situation for humans?

Edit: We have Carnassials. This is made to cut meat,  not salad. Also we have a tooth that's called "canine". Read the article.\n\nLook at the human face. All predators have eyes in front of their heads. Humans are the same. Now look at a deer, the eyes are on the sides. WE ARE PREDATORS! MEAT LOVING PREDATORS!\n\nWe have K9 teeth. The same as dogs. We are made to eat meat. Were not cows.

meat production, i assume it means killing animals. \nsome answers may seem stupid here.\nyes, beacuse\nmainly)))   The practice of raising mass produced animals in corporate animal farms to be slaughtered for human consumption is unnecessary and ultimately morally unacceptable. Corporate animal farms hurt the environment, the consumer and the animals under there control. Therefore corporate animal farms are harmful and should be phased out of there current existence. Consuming factory farmed meat by humans is primarily for pleasure, (it tastes good) and is unnecessary since a plant based diet has been proven to be healthier and can taste great as well. Corporate animal farms consume large amounts of water and other natural resources and produce vast amounts of waste which pollutes the environment. To cause pain and death to an animal and harm the environment for the trivial purpose of pleasuring an individual’s immediate sensual gratification without considering how the product is produced is irresponsible. \n\n\n\n1) some religion thinks that all animals are living things and thus, they should not be killed. \n2) in geo, if we eat more meat, more people will have less to eat because of the food pyramid. a cow eats so much plants in a liofe time and the amount of plants can feed so many people but that cow can only feed a few people.\n3)mad cow disease, H5N1 disease. it's too dangerous. \n4) extinction, we have to protect them\n5)with technology, we can produced vegeterian meat, for ex, the canned duck that's made from plants.\n6)animal waste causes polution.\n7) there's population explosion going on and land sacarcity, we don't have ebough resources for them.\n8)The use of horses for meat production is widely opposed in countries such as USA and Britain where horses are considered companion and sporting animals.There is an effort in the United State to create a law, the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act, designed to stop the slaughter of horses.\nPolls sponsored by various American organisations have shown that most people are not aware that horses are slaughtered in the US for consumption overseas. According to some of these polls, in New York, 64% of people polled actually believed that slaughtering horses for meat was illegal, while in Indiana, 91% believe that horse slaughter should be banned. [7] An overwhelming majority of Texas voters (89%) are unaware that horse slaughter goes on in their own state. [8]\nFrench animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot has spent her latter years crusading against the eating of horse meat.\n8) there's growing meat lab nowadays and the meat is better.\n9) it's time that people be more civilise, work in cities instead of farming.\n10),eet.. especially red meat is very unhealthy. Too mush fats make us fat\n\n\n\nNO beacuse......\n1)god gave us these animals to eat.\n2) we can't be vegeterians. we need the energy.\n3)if we don't eat them, the food chain will be affect because if there is a raise in the secondary consumer, the number of primary consumer will drop.\n4)variety of food.\n5) if the animals, eat all the plants, there will be nothing to hold the soil. \n6)we do not have enough land for planting crops. example, less than 2/5 of america's fertile land is used for planting but for building things.\n7) when there is a demand for these animals, more people will have jobs and there will be more animal waste to be used as fertilisers.\n8)Horse meat is sweet, tender, low in fat, and high in protein.[1] Just like beef and pork, in some societies there is a taboo regarding the consumption of horse meat.\nHorse meat has had somewhat of a resurgence in popularity in Europe and Canada in recent years, as horses are not susceptible to BSE (mad cow disease).\nHorse meat has about 40% less calories than even the leanest beef, while supplying 50% more protein and up to 30% more iron.

No, there are plenty of vegetarians or people unable to eat beef who are still healthy. Of course, instead of beef/meat, they eat spinach, tofu, etc. Besides, it's no use if you eat tons of beef and do nothing else except sit on your couch and watch TV. ;)

< I think it's because it is healthier,some people just don't believe in killing animals,even for food,and for some it is because of religious beliefs.Some religions don't believe in eating meat.

well basically what you eat does have alot of affect on your habits. forexample carnivores who eat meat are stronger and vicious than other herbivores. so i think that explains their victory and defeat

No, meat is muscle.  They'll eat the bodybuilders first.

Probably.  We buy all of our meat and poultry from local farms that have grass fed beef and free range poultry.  The turkeys are great!

Yes, human beings are omnivores but then again so are pigs. Eating meat or going vegetarian is a conscious choice one makes

I have been a vegetarian my entire life.  I don't give arguments.  I think it is a very personal decision.  Personally I am vegetarian, because it would be hypocritical for me to eat meat.  I couldn't stomach killing anything to eat, so why have anyone else do the dirty work for me?  BTW- I eat incredible, gourmet restaurant vegetarian food.... definately not discusting.

yes it's ok.. I mean we eat meat... the animal is killed anyway so why not by the hand of the individual rather the company\n\nbesides.. you get a deer and you'll have free meat all winter. \n\nit saves a lot of money and feeds you and family\n\nBesides.. hunting is actually a form of conservation.\n\nanimal populations have increased sense organized hunting has been inacted.\n\nit controls populations and kills off the weak and provides a more stable biodiversity\n\nI always use to feel bad about it but then I came to this realization...... a lot of animals are killed by cars or other accidents or even other predators.. so why not us and we are able to feed are families\n\n\nare we so far distant from the days when hunting was a necessity for providing food for family that today we cannot do it and be fair .. no\n\nhunting is not wrong when acted upon appropriatly and with a mature respect to nature and the causality of what ones effect/impact may have on wildlife..\n\nwith a mature mind... hunting is a good thing.. it is a course of nature\n\n\n\n\nps... I'm drunk.. and dammit. .I'm not going to read this over or spell check it.. but I hope I got a point across

uh, no cannibalism here.  living in a car is not the worst thing that can happen to a person. now, stuck on a mountain in a blizzard for a couple of months, that would be worse.  But I'd rather die than become cannibalistic!

Yes! Eating poop is not only gross, it's also potentially deadly.\n\nAlthough somewhat common in the animal world, eating feces (coprophagia) is definitely taboo for humans, and for good reason! Eating other peoples poop puts you at risk for the contraction of diseases such as hepatitus. Eating your own feces also involves risk, as the bowel bacteria and eggs of parasitic worms are not safe to ingest.

With Mad Cow disease, pumping antibiotics and growth hormones into cattle to fatten them, how can it be safe to consume their flesh?  That's not counting the cancer that runs through their muscles after the "spot" was removed from the carcass.  Chickens pass on Leukemia, and pork was never intended for human consumption if you believe the Word of God.  There ARE "clean" and "unclean" flesh foods of the land, sea, and air, mentioned specifically in Deut. & Leviticus.  If you look up the life-span of pre-flood human beings who were mostly vegetarians you'll be surprised to find they lived hundreds of years.  After the flood, when God gave man permission to eat animal flesh, man's life-span diminished quickly, until 70 years was the "norm."  It's an interesting study.  And yes, I'm a vegan and happy to be one.

Neither.  Vegans and vegetarians like to claim that the non-vegetarian lifestyle is unhealthy.  However, there is plenty of evidence (most of it scientific) that the vegan and vegetarian lifestyles are just as unhealthy as non-vegetarian lifestyles.  You can't eat very much of anything these days offered in grocery stores that is not mass-produced, hormone injected, pesticide or chemically assisted, and this applies just as much to fruits and vegetables as it does to meat.  And organic foods are no better than regular foods http://preventdisease.com/home/tips61.shtml  Everything in moderation is the key.\n\nThe Naive Vegetarian\nhttp://www.mercola.com/2002/feb/2/vegetarian.htm\n\nThe Myths of Vegetarianism\nhttp://www.mercola.com/2000/apr/2/vegetarian_myths.htm

Human muscle is probably the same as any similar animal muscles that are meant for the same type and load of work.  Just browse to the department of agriculture and look up the amino acid profile of other meats that are similar to human muscle.  Pork chops would be your best bet.\n\n    Don't look at organ meats, because those are different types of muscle.  And don't go for white meats, because those muscles have very little myoglobin because they are used for the flight of birds.  And don't look at fish, insects, grubs, sea sponges, parasites, or anything that is too different from humans.\n\n    Just for the record, I am not the slightest bit interested in cannibalism.  I'm just helping with your question.

Pound for pound, there isnt anything to compare to meat (assuming of course you are adding in the fat, and the tasty, ever-surprising intestines and stomachs of the prey).  But, food for a carnivore is dangerous-you cant get fat and slow, you want to keep the meal frequencies to a minimum, and each meal comes with some exercise-thus big canivores only eat once or twice a week at best.  Herbivores eat for hours and hours every day.  No, the food is not highly nutritious, especially in terms of fat and protein content-but there is a whole lot of it, a long time to eat and digest it, and no worries about over-eating and getting fat, really.  You know, the eating patterns are why herbivores tend to be much more aggressive, dangerous animals that carnivores- Think bull moose, bull elephants, hippos, rhinocerous etc- They are much more aggressive and dangerous to be around than a corresponding lion or wolf.  Herbivores can afford to get quite injured, and still recover cause their food doesnt move around and try to get away.  A tiger breaks it's foot, or gets a terribly torm muscle, and it will likely starve, so large carnivores are generally very wary of getting into fights.
