Why don't some people understand vegetarianism?

Question

Why is it that some don't know what it means to care about animals?

Why do people say "I love animals" but eat meat?

Answer 1

They understand vegetarianism, they just dont want to know about vegetarians. The answers you have received proves that.
They are ignorant to the facts of meat eating and cannot control their lust for eating meat.
It is inconceivable to them that we are herbivores and animals were not put on this earth for them to slaughter and eat.
Cannibals will never understand, it is in their nature.

Answer 2

there are many kinds of people in this world. Some I can think of are:
1. Don't care.
2. Care but man its easier not to follow.
3. Need to eat meat because of health constraints.
4. Religious believes that animals were meant to be eaten by man.
5. Love for meat exceeds any other explanation.
6. can't find vegetarian food always.

Answer 3

Its not that people dont care about animals but it is natural within any ecosystem to have a food chain. Within that food chain, we tend to be at the top because of our superior intellect and therefore we eat meat. In prehistoric times we have always eaten meat and therefore it is healthy for us to eat meat as it is a good source of protein. Of course, it is not essential for us to eat meat today and it certainly is not acceptable to treat animals cruelly, whether or not they are bred for meat.
Personally, I eat meat but respects others' choice if they dont want to. Perhaps vegetarians could do the same?

Answer 4

It is because some vegetarians are like missionaries. This is why people also hate religious people. (I don't want to compare vegetarianism with religions here, let's say except Hinduism...) When you always tell the meat eaters "you should try to become vegetarian" they will hate you for that!!! The meat eaters have to decide for themselves. If they want to be unhealthy and die early, why not?

For the one answer "I like my hamburger", I got one for you: I like my hamburger, too. What??!! Yeah, right, there are also vegetarian hamburgers out there!!!! They look and taste exactly like those you would eat, but they have litterally no fat and are healthy, too. My hubby, who is a meat eater, even PREFERS vegetarian hamburgers to the ones with beef. Try one yourself and you'll know!!!

Answer 5

I agree with toughguy,, God created the whole universe this way. Animals eat eachother,, why doesn't anyone stop that.. Love has nothing to do with it,, Under that belief people can be in conservation,,but not eat meat doesn't mean love for animals,,practically it means you don't like the taste,, and God you're missing a lot. :)

Answer 6

Why should I 'understand' vegetarianism? Do vegetarians need my approval or something?

As far as I'm concerned, it's a personal choice you do for whatever reasons you like. I choose not to be vegetarian, and I seek neither approval nor understanding. Only children get all upset at other peoples' choices.

Adults, real adults (not old adolescents) let people make personal choices without getting their panties in a twist.

Answer 7

Coz we know plants are alive as well.

And all larger species eatsmaller species. That's how worldfunctions.

And if Jesusdidn't have problems with meat, why should his followers have any problem?

Will a lion leave you out of compassion if it is hungry ( Don't tell me you wil willingly sacrifice your life to feed the hungry cubs)?

Eating too much veggies means nothing is left for the herbivores?

Besides, meatis a good source of proteins. Am against eating exotic species myself. But no one can grudge me my tandoori chicken. Mmm!

Answer 8

Because we don't see the animal being killed but the meat when we get it. I have pets and I care about them and wouldn't eat then but their not chickens or cows. Anyway meat is healthy for you.

Answer 9

Because it's considered "Different" and we all know how people act when something different comes along. They are afraid that someone will take their meat away and make them eat a vegtable. To many reasons to list, but I'm sure you get the just of it.

Answer 10

Because vegs are FREAKS. They think by not eating meat they are not killing something, but plants have feelings too. Eat more beef. Steak is my favorite food. Full of nice healthy protein. Dont be a veg.
