The human species evolved by including meat in their diet. How can eating meat be wrong???

Question

We could have not evolved if it wasn't for meat. So, why do so many people "have a problem" with eating meat??

I appreciate all the input.
But??? I need to know why some people have a problem with eating somthing that nourishes the body with iron, B-12 vitamins and protien???

Answer 1

it's not wrong, but people have their preferences. i have a friend who does it for certain moral reasons and not only that, vegetarianism can be healthy. and my friend says she just feels great about it. so maybe it's less of a guilty conscience...hm. i suppose it's just the process of how we get our meat that's too gruesome and cruel in some people's opinions. (yet, has no one seen the discovery channel - animal attacking animal?? bloody, but it's for survival, dammit!) but all i have to say about that is killing anything is never pretty so some people just have to get over the whole meat thing. it's delicious and ya'll are mad you're missing out. :)

The human body is made to eat meat and plants. This is why we have 2 different kinds of teeth, and a medium length intestine. The best proteins come from meat, not Soy, just look at the BV. Also you're right B-12 and creatine come from meat. So why, I will ask the veggies and Vegans, do you HAVE to give your self injections of B-12? I don't know of any syringe trees. And as for the girl with the cave answer....you're just stupid.

Also most soy meat replacements are actually high fat, TOFU has more calories from fat than protein calories. Soy also has high levels of phytoestrogens, which isn't good for guys in high amounts.

Last of all science has proven that we evolved into the greatest species on the earth, due to our eating meat, the proteins increased the size of our brains on a physical level. Evolutionary psychology my freinds, it's all there.

Even if you believe that is okay for humans to eat meat, the most responsible thing you can do is get specific to your own situation, ask your self, "where does *my* meat come from?" If what you find grosses you out (if it comes from huge factory farms where animals are treated poorly) then it may be immoral for you to eat it. Remember, factory farming is new! It's the reason we have 99 cent hamburgers and that sort of thing. In many cultures, past and present, meat is/was only an expensive delicacy for special occasions.

Answer 4

Some of us do not want to eat flesh or other animal products. It's a personal choice. Now we have so many nutritious foods to eat, vegetarianism can be very nutritious with all the foods available.

I don't eat meat, but I strongly believe that diet is a personal choice. Everyone should eat as they like so long as it's a healthy diet.

Answer 5

years of people eating bad meat -- prepared or stored badly, infected etc. I like meat - however even I will be careful at certain resturarnts where food handling looks questionable.
After taking high school bio and learning about certain organisms in meat I would not eat meat unless it was way overcooked for a while. Then I figured I would most likely kill any germ that tried to bite me anyway.

Answer 6

I remember I saw a sticker once that had the massacred face of a cow and then read: Your food had a face". It was placed on the hamburger shelf at the supermarket. Actually, it cracked me up. I took it and kept it in my dept (Meat dept, :D) until my boss got rid of it.
Its about loving animals and feeling that they shouldnt have to give up thier life in order for us to eat. Fair enuff. Im not much on vegetables, so I guess we're even.

Answer 7

You're right. Cows won't take over the world as they spend most of their waking life eating so as to ingest enough nutrition to get them to the next meal!
Some vegetarians disapprove of the modern farming methods necessary to produce enough cheap meat for those that will eat it.

Answer 8

nothing's wrong w/ eating meat. it's just when you eat too MUCH that you're gonna have a prob. we evolved liking meat b/c it has fat in it, which, when we were hunter-gatherers and subsistence farmers, we needed lots of b/c we were always short in calories. now that we're hardly ever short on calories, we should cut back on the foods that used to be heavenly for us for the exact same reason we used to need them just to survive.
