Why is meat-eating bad ?

Answer 1

Besides the scientific proven fact that meat is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, not good for our health, nor our spiritual wellbeing, do we really think we possess the God-given right to take the life of a helpless innocent animal, purely for the satisfaction of our palate? In God’s eyes all living entities are created equal, and there is ultimately no spiritual distinction except for the material body, the outward dress of the soul.

The greed-driven meat industry and so-called educated class of covetous people want you to believe that unless you eat meat you’re missing out on important vitamins and/or proteins. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is mainly due to our conditioned upbringing in a meat-eating family environment where our parents taught us from birth that meat is an indispensable part of our diet. So in that sense we’re not to blame, because of the imposed ignorance by our elders.

Through well crafted TV commercials and bill board ads, we are brainwashed and forced to think we cannot live without meat. Which in actual reality is dead rotting flesh with added chemicals to make the meat look attractive. As soon as an animal is slaughtered, its flesh begins to putrefy, and after several days it turns a sickly gray-green. The meat industry masks this discoloration by adding nitrites, nitrates, and other preservatives to give the meat a bright red color, and give it longer shelve life. This decaying flesh, along with its preservatives, continue to make our lives extensively miserable by causing dreadful invasive diseases like cancer and malignant tumors, etc.

Once we’re properly informed about these ‘hidden’ truths, it takes only a little smarts to figure out what these lowlifes are up to, and after—your money! We can only reasonably assume that these crooked people don’t have our best interest in mind. So for our own sake and well being, being largely innocent victims of circumstances, we better wake up, and change our eating habits. Plus, can all these distinguished people be wrong? http://www.happycow.net/famous_vegetarians.html

Answer 2

It's not bad, per se, but you need to eat the right meats. Red meats (hamburger, steaks, etc.) should be eaten very sparingly, but lean proteins like chicken and fish are ok. Unless of course you don't want to eat meats for the love of animals or something.

Answer 3

From a moral standpoint, human beings are "omnivores". We eat both meat and plants. Anyone one that tells you it is immoral to eat meat needs to be told to mind their own business.

We get valuable protein, iron, and other minerals the body needs to maintain muscle from eating meat. The key is proportion and moderation. A serving no bigger than your hand, twice a week is a good rule.

I dont believe meat-eating is bad but many people believe so because by eating meat you are eating what was once a living thing. It could eat, sleep, and have urges just like humans. They think it is like killing a human and eating them.
