1)Why non vegetarian food ?
2)How one can satiate his / her hunger by eating an animal which had undergone pain (especially Halal) while getting killed ?
3)What about animal rights ?

Answer 1

1) There are many benefits to a diet containing meat. Many vegetarians claim that meat is unhealthy. This is a blatant fallacy.
It is well established that eating meat improves the quality of nutrition, strengthens the immune system, promotes normal growth and development, is beneficial for day-to-day health, energy and well-being, and helps ensure optimal learning and academic performance.
A long term study found that children who eat more meat are less likely to have deficiencies than those who eat little or no meat. Kids who don’t eat meat — and especially if they restrict other foods, as many girls are doing — are more likely to feel tired, apathetic, unable to concentrate, are sick more often, more frequently depressed, and are the most likely to be malnourished and have stunted growth. Meat and other animal-source foods are the building blocks of healthy growth that have made America’s and Europe's youngsters the tallest, strongest and healthiest in the world.
Meat is an important source of quality nutrients, heme iron, protein, zinc and B-complex vitamins. It provides high-quality protein important for kids’ healthy growth and development.
The iron in meat (heme iron) is of high quality and well absorbed by the body, unlike nonheme iron from plants which is not well absorbed. More than 90 percent of iron consumed may be wasted when taken without some heme iron from animal sources. Substances found to inhibit nonheme iron absorption include phytates in cereals, nuts and legumes, and polyphenolics in vegetables. Symptoms of iron deficiency include fatigue, headache, irritability and decreased work performance. For young children, it can lead to impairment in general intelligence, language, motor performance and school readiness. Girls especially need iron after puberty due to blood losses, or if pregnant. Yet studies show 75 percent of teenage girls get less iron than recommended.
Meat, poultry and eggs are also good sources of absorbable zinc, a trace mineral vital for strengthening the immune system and normal growth. Deficiencies link to decreased attention, poorer problem solving and short-term memory, weakened immune system, and the inability to fight infection. While nuts and legumes contain zinc, plant fibre contains phytates that bind it into a nonabsorbable compound.
Found almost exclusively in animal products, Vitamin B12 is necessary for forming new cells. A deficiency can cause anaemia and permanent nerve damage and paralysis. The Vitimin B12 in plants isn't even bioavailable, meaning our body can't use it.
Why not buy food supplements to replace missing vitamins and minerals? Some people believe they can fill those gaps with pills, but they may be fooling themselves. Research consistently shows that real foods in a balanced diet are far superior to trying to make up deficiencies with supplements.

2) Very easily.

3) What about them?

Answer 2

I believe meat eating started as a form of victory celebration. Primitive tribes, in awe of a predator, believed they might acquire some of the predator's characteristics if they were to eat his "soul." Or seeing a feared predator eating another animal may have taught man to do it also.

There is also the sacrifice as discussed in the Old Testament, I believe it would also appear in the Torah and the Koran. The sacrifice was viewed as a tribute to God, but man could only assume the reason was to appease, or feed God, because man could think of no other way this sacrifice would be used to appease him/her. And like the fruit of the Garden of Eden, man wanted to be more like God, so he started to appease himself in the same manner.

I believe there are many possible explanations for why man eats meat, there could be many different reasons. This forum doesn't provide the means to discuss them all.

Firstly humans are omnivores. Which means we meet any old rubbish.

The truth is that dead animals are one of the best sources of the nutrients the body requires. Vegetarians have to be careful about what they eat to make sure they get everything. Vegans (who eat no milk, eggs or other animal by products) can easily suffer if they are not careful.

Also animal flesh is very satisfying to eat. Eating makes us feel full.

Remember lions don't worry about whether their kill is suffering as they rip out its guts while it is still alive.

My friends who grew up on farms in both western and poor countries have no problem with killing animals themselves.

Only rich city folk are really attracted to being vegetarians or vegans.

My own feelings are more environmental. Meat is inefficient use of resources. In some of the marginal lands in Australia (which is most of Australia) cattle is the only option. But in most other places farming is a far more efficient use of our limited land. So I eat very little meat (I love vegetables and tofu).

By the way think about this. If a bird eats the fruit of a tree and deposits the seed far away, we say the tree is using the bird to send its seed far away.

Humans are so stupid, we cut down forests, transport animals from one country to another, protect against predators and disease, and we say we are using them.
