Does any one but me think that it is wrong to be a vegetarian?

Question

if you're not eating the meat put in front of you, that just means that this animal died for nothing.

Answer 1

Yes, exactly. Okay, I understand that if you had to kill the animal then it, you won't eat it. But, if the animal is already dead, I see no point in not eating it. It's already dead.

Answer 2

No it's not wrong to be a vegetarian.

It a choice, just like eating meat is a choice. If you choose not to eat meat then don't, nothing evil in that choice, nor is eating meat evil, (yes I know a lot of Vegans will disagree with that too bad).

Just because an animal died and a vegetarian refuses to it doesn't mean the animal died for nothing. It mean an animal died, no more no less.

So come on people live and let live, we don't have to agree on what we're going to eat or not eat, just make your choice and don't force your choice on anyone else.

Answer 3

personally i'm a vegetarian for more than moral reasons, I had been on prescriptions for stomach problems until i stopped eating meat. Meat is just too heavy for my body to digest. I do have some moral objections to eating meat, but I usually keep them to myself, I personally don't thing that anything is acheived by preaching to someone about a life choice that should be made personally*. I suppose most vegetarians feel like they are doing their part and in a sense we are, setting an example and showing others that not eating meat is an option. it's only fair to tolerate and respect the decision to go vegetarian.

Answer 4

Supply and demand. If enough people stopped eating the meat, quite a dent would be put in the meat suppliers. At first, yes, some goes to waste, but eventually, less animals die. All vegetarians are different, they have their own opinions on the matter. .

Answer 5

I was a vegetarian for 10 years, and your question and reasoning are a little ridiculous but what the hell for a point. If you are a vegetarian I highly doubt you would get to a point where there is an animal ever put on a plate in front of you. I think dietary habits are a personal choice, and no other person should have any input or say on how you want to sustain yourself.

Answer 6

What a stupid, stupid question. Who is putting the meat in front of you? If you were vegetarian, why would the meat be in front of you? If a hundred people went vegetarian, a cow's life will be saved, if not now, then in the future. Animals are bred because people demand meat. If meat consumption dropped, fewer animals would be created. Jeez, are you trying to be funny?

Answer 7

It's still not going to look any more appetising.

There're loads of vegetarians that don't mind anybody else eating meat -- rather unfortunately, though, those are the quiet ones you don't even know are vegetarian.

And -- I'm searching my memory, and I don't think I can remember having meat "put in front of" me in my entire life. At least not as intended for _my_ consumption. Thoughtful friends and family, I guess.

Answer 8

The point of the matter is, animals are killed to feed the meat eaters, simple as that. If more people were vegetarians, then fewer animals would be killed. That is the usual reason for people to become vegetarians. A common meat eater's argument is that if people didn't eat meat then animals would multiply uncontrollably or they would die for nothing, but neither are true. Animals are killed to match demand. If people weren't buying/eating meat, it wouldn't be sold and ultimately animals wouldn't be bred to die.

Answer 9

Not really,that animal is already,so there is nothing you can do to save it.By eating meat you are increasing the demand for meat and MORE animals will be killed in the future.I think it is wrong to breed animals unnaturally,fill them hormones,not letting them see the light of day,and taking them away from there mothers at birth just so they can be raised solely for food,I don't eat meat because I don't want to contribute to that.

Answer 10

Maybe it's a waste for that animal, but if everyone in the world refused to eat meat, eventually, they would stop raising animals and killing them for meat because there would be no money in it.

Also, it's a political statement to refuse to eat what's put in front of you. Food is sustenance, it's LIFE, and you'd rather die than eat in order to make a statement (like with hunger strikes).

Answer 11

Anyone that thinks killing another life is justified is fooling themselves....what for amino acids? proteins? You don't need to eat meat to get these nutrients...I personally eat all meat, I'm even going to kill one of my turkey's for x-mas. I know what i am doing is just wrong..but i am a asshole. The people that think because it taste so good it must have been meant for us to eat..mmm If everyone just put themselves in the animals position I am sure you would all be going vegetarian. The asker of this question thinks the animal died for nothing if you don't eat it...Surely this question was just off the top of his head, as it is obvious the animal wouldn't have died in the first place if the meat wasn't purchased or desired...
