I don't know.

On one hand, I think that killing animals to eat is cruel.

On the other, as animals ourselves, I don't see why we can't be cruel to survive.

So I've taken the route of eating only animals which I particularly dislike.

This list is basically chickens and turkeys. Every other animal is cool with me.


I dunno. I kinda like chickens. They're weird, but that's why they're amusing. And don't forget--if this was a couple million years in the past, THEY'D be the ones eating us. :mrgreen:

Yeah. Like I said, I thought I saw something that said he overestimates the number of dead animals there, but he still makes a good point. Why are mice less wrong to kill than a cow? Just because it's smaller and doesn't belong to anyone? "I don't want to kill the animals" isn't a very logical reason for being vegetarian. There are much better reasons like animal welfare (just because we're gonna kill them doesn't mean we have to basically torture them their whole life first) and that it takes something like 10 times more resources to make a serving of meat than a serving of a plant food, so eating a vegetarian diet puts much less strain on water and energy supplies (and in a world without farm subsidies might cost a huge amount less).

But that doesn't stop the body from needing a little meat now and then to work at its best. But if you don't mind issues from accumulated lack of B12 and protein a few years down the road, there's lots of good reasons to be vegetarian.
