Why would it be wrong? There's a reason we have canine teeth—they're specifically there to anchor into, and assist in ripping, animal flesh. We're built to eat meat.

Yes it is.


The thing that seperates humans from other animals is the concept of morality. That is why it is wrong for humans to eat meat. Humans also live much healthier lives without meat.

It's all based on personal morals. Some people say yes, and some people say no. I say it's not morally wrong, but that's only my opinion.

No. Not until an animal is able to sit down and have a conversation with me. Then I may rethink my position.

Do you think that survival instinct, fear of death, and pain occured quite recently in evolution?

No, it's survival of the fittest.  And there is evidence suggesting that eating meat was one of the key factors in the development of the human brain. 

I'll always it meat, for the sake of my descendents!  And vegetarians will have small-brained descendents. JK. :P

One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. ~Romans 14:2-3

This probably has more to do with the fact that intelligent people are more likely to drift away from the norm and try new things(the "norm" of course being eating meat).

It's quite simple actually. Intelligent people become vegetarian. Less intelligent people do not.

It's like abortion. Something that has been debated for years and will never be agreed on in being completley right or wrong in the eyes of the majority of society.

But personally, I'm not a large fan of being a meat-eater and would love to be a vegetarian. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure how to.

There are people who eat meat that can be nicer than some vegetarians. Also, eating meat of an animal you did not personally kill does not make you any less compassionate than vegetarians. Maybe you would like to stop hiding behind all of these statistics and listen to a little bit of reason before assuming that vegetarians can be smarter and kinder than everyone else. Just because you choose to eat meat, it does not make you an evil moron....
