I think it all stemmed from our early ancestors who didn't know how to plant seeds and raise a crop or how to store food during the long winter months.

The 'cave men' were hungry and cold in those long months... the easiest and most available food (and clothing) to them was other animals... just to survive.

It's just unfortunate after so many thousands of years, that eating other animals is still considered a necessity to most people in this society.

I'm disgusted that I used to eat meat... excuse me while I puke.

Because, my friend, humans are omnivores. A Tiger also kills other animals for food, so do cats, dogs, fish and amphibians.
Hunting was an inherent trait in prehistoric man, he used to enjoy both meat and vegetable.
Eating vegetarian or non-vegetarian food is a matter of personal beliefs, and such questions don't serve much purpose in the public domain, as most people shall continue eating what they are unless they feel the need to change. I might ask the same question in a different way: Why do people kill vegetables, leaves, roots, stems, fruits and trees to eat them? What do they get from that? I believe the answer is obvious. So is it in the case of meat.

Humans tend to only eat herbivore creatures.

Man is not built as a carnivore. If we were carnivore/omnivore, we would have the physical tools built into us to hunt... i.e claws, large teeth (no, we don't have proper 'canines') etc. The fact is, we need machines and weapons to kill becayse we are incapable of doing it alone. We don't have the digestive systems to handle swallowing feathers, we don't pant to cool our bodies down, we are poor runners/hunters (being two-legged says it all, really). We are vegetarians.

At some point in the past, we would have been vegetarians, or scavengers (omnivorous, but not by design). At some point, our ancestors became hunters and so began our unnatural taste for meat and blood. Just because they decided to hunt, does not make us omnivores now. Luckily in the west, we have an abundance of food and can make the right decision to take our bodies back to nature.

Fruit, veg and grains are vital for human health. You can live without meat and dairy, but will die without fruit and veg.

People are greedy. They have a taste for meat and blood and have grown accustomed to it. That's why they get so panicky at the thought of not being able to eat fish again (because of over-fishing and pollution etc). That's why many show resentment towards vegetarians. Deep down, it's all about what's right... and having the local supermarket poison, torture and murder animals for flesh which rots in our body, is WRONG, WRONG WRONG.

It was the ancient time when people used to kill animal for their prime source of food.at that time there was lack of vegetation so, they were dependent on those animals. But now a days the amount af protein or fat that we get from animals can be compensated with vegetations.
Moreover people eat animals for taste what I perceive.

They think that animals are yummy. That's about as far as they can think, because generally somebody with a brain would realise that clogging up your colon and arteries with the garbage of factory farming is not as healthy as enjoying the benefits of a balanced diet filled with colorful fruits, veggies and grains. Since they don't have brains, they keep on wanting what they find yummy.

PS. Sorry if I offended anyone, but if I did you shouldn't be in the vegetarian section anyway.

If it wasn't for looking and amassing, mankind does not be here. We could not happen our noses or impart ethical concerns on something fit to be eaten. era. we've, even although, developed to be waiting to grant each thing we ever recognized as 'organic' or 'known' a re-think of. Re analyzing what we do and why we do it, and would desire to we do greater advantageous, is the job, {i think of} of a rational man or woman. in case you be responsive to you're a hypocrite and don't care - fantastic. in case you do experience a ethical and ethical and cognitive dissonance once you cuddle your dogs and then take a seat and consume your veal cutlets - sturdy..in case you purely do not care approximately something in any respect previous your guy or woman exhilaration and custom and experience of 'appropriate', fantastic returned....no possible make every physique experience something....yet there's a feeling of integrity that comes from residing in a fashion that feels appropriate to you - and as you be responsive to greater and learn greater, you carry your self to diverse standards...shop on with this to each component to existence....

some people think they have the right to because they consider humans superior to animals. others simply do not care for the suffering of anyone besides themselves.
