Do you think eating meat is wrong?

A vegetarian, not likely. Through the design of creation of happenstance or evolution (which is a different argument, for another time) I am at a certain place in the food chain, as is the rabbit. So as a result I will allow the rabbit to eat his food, and I will in-turn eat the rabbit.

We ARE supposed to eat animals. we are part of the food chain that was created in this world. Vegetarians have their reasons NOT to eat animals, but other animals eat animals lower on their food chain... we are just part of that chain.

Why wouldn't it be?\nUsing contemporary moral standards:\nSeems that most people have no moral qualms about eating animals.  Vegans and vegetarians are a very, very small minority.\nSaving a human life is generally agreed to be a high moral good.\nTherefore, killing a pig to take its heart valve and transplant it into a human being who otherwise would die, appears to have a higher moral good than killing a pig so that people can eat cheeseburgers with bacon.\n\nOf course, if one wants to use other assumptions the results would be different.  If one assumes that all life is equally precious, whether human or a pig, one would find killing the pig for either reason to be wrong.\n\nIn short, like most questions of morality, it depends on your starting assumptions.

I think you may be confusing Jesus' ministry with your respect for animals.  I understand and respect your beliefs, but I really don't think anyone who eats an animal product is being untrue to anything Jesus taught or to Christmas.

Oh No, our first argument as Friends!\nI was raised into a hunting family, we hunted for food, not pleasure, we didn't trophy hunt, but if it was a trophy animal it was a plus. I haven't hunted in about three years, because i am not in need of the food they provide, but if the need arises I'll have to do it again. The pleasure I receive is not from the hunt, but rather being out in nature. I actually feel bad about the kill. Now, I also believe in culling the herds, it gets the sick ones out, eradicating Wasting Disease (it's like Mad Cow Disease) is a high priority for me.\n   I would much rather have 5,000 killed by hunting than 15,000 die of starvation when there is way to many for their particular environment and not enough food to go around...starving to death has gotta suck! Now about that church thing..I dunno if they do that or not! The people who kill for food far outweigh those who trophy hunt.

I won't eat meat that's not cooked through. When I was in the Army cross training with the Queens 1st Paratroopers in England, I learned that the only raw meat that is safe to eat is the liver. (survival Training)

Sorry to hear it's not going well.  People should answer your questions - but if they don't there's always the REPORT ABUSE button.\n\nBTW, Jesus DID eat meat - you can't expect people not to call you on that.  And what's up with our Savior's eyes?

Absolutely..you don't have to be "vegan", (no meat or diary), but a diet of fruits, vegetables and free range poultry and fish is the only hope for a healthy body. \nWe should also eat only certified organic foods.\n\nThe food we eat today is not real food..it's genetically modified in food labs and is making us fat, creating sickness and disease and addictions.\n\nMeat today is so full of terribly bad things nothing can cook it out (read "Fast Food Nation" or "Supersize Me")..they tell us it's okay though - when we get sick, we can take medicine that is also filled with poisonous chemicals, additives and other fillers that will only mask our symptoms and create problems to other organs in our bodies down the line...then, we can get medicine for that...and the cycle continues...

For the umpteenth time:\n\nIf homosexuality is wrong, so is heterosexuality. For everyone who claims that it is a "choice," I'd ask them to recount the day when they "chose" to be straight. I know that I certainly wasn't given an option, I just knew that I liked girls. It's the same for gay people. They just know. \n\nFor those who claim that it is unnatural, I'd point to the behavior of bonobos, dogs, and penguins as just a few examples of homosexuality in nature.\n\nFor those who say that "it's against the bible," I'd say that it is time to reexamine the old myths and decide whether they really have a place in our modern world.\n\nLove is love is love.

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.

I think testing on animals often times is unethical. The end does not always justify the means to me. In fact, with some religions it all about the means. Stealing and killing are often means to a desired end, but clearly unethical.\n\nAlso I believe using a human embreyo for an ethical end but by unethicals means is wrong.

Absolutely, your body produces digestive enzymes and fluids that allow for the digestion of the high amounts of fat and proteins found in meat. With a few exceptions, humans are omnivores.\n\nYou may be right about the health problems associated with meat. A lot of the meats we eat are highly processed and not entirely healthy. Personally, I think meats are a superior protein source, bar none. Few vegetable sources can compete with meat and other animal products as substantial protein sources. Generally, I think meat is a great part of a normal diet, provided it's reasonably lean and eaten in reasonable moderation. \n\nI like the occasional plate of tofu. I just keep it low because it's a soy product. Soy is thought to raise estrogen levels in the bloodstream. This poses a problem for me and my efforts at body building. So, I stick to the meat and the dairy for most of my protein.

Actually, no, you could not live off it.  I assume you mean the meat and fat, and if that is the case, eventually you would get a number of diseases, starting with scurvy (caused by lack of vitamin C).  There is no significant biochemical difference between human muscle and fat, and the muscle and fat of meat animals-but if you only ate meat and nothing else, from any animal, you would die from lack of essential vitamins.  The only meaningful difference is that you be *much* more susceptible to diseases in human flesh than that from other animals, because most diseases are species-specific.  So, 90% of the diseases in a pig, for example, would not infect a human.  On the other hand, 100% of the diseases in human meat would infect you..  Well cooked, though, should do the trick....just make sure you have a good salad and some fruit with it.

I think you have to eat flesh to be a cannibal. I actually think that eating any meat makes you a cannibal. That's why I'm a vegetarian, but anyway.
