RE: Is It Ethical To Eat Meat?

in #life7 years ago (edited)

I gave up meat many years ago and don't really miss it. There are veggie substitutes for many things if you want that taste, but I realise some people don't even want that. I do choose to still eat fish now and then, but it should be a personal choice. It's not a religion that dictates what we should and shouldn't do.

I thought Steven Wilson stated his reasons well. We are not hunter-gatherers now. Food is an industry and meat is just a product. I think many people don't even think about where it comes from and don't equate farm animals to their pets.

Sort:  

The vegan food substitutes are getting so good that soon it'll be hard for people to justify not giving up meat. Seriously, I had these vegan chicken strips. We put some franks red hot sauce on them and I actually cried because they tasted just as good as a hot wing, and no animal had to be killed for me to enjoy it.

I look forward to the day when vegan substitutes are just as good and just as cheap. I doubt that day is far off.

Hey congratulations
I'm eating a lot less meat these days than say a year ago
which i think is a good start, maybe only contributing to 30% of animal suffering and death than I use to
slowly getting there

You won't believe this - I finished watching this very video just 5 minutes back! He's absolutely right.
