People are free to choose what they want to eat and what not to eat, you can have your own opinions and they can have theirs, deal with it.
What about people eating you?
Go ahead once I die.
I would prefer my corpse be eaten, as well.
I don't want to die by being eaten, you know, like "Oh he was eaten by a shark". No. I want to die naturally, peacefully.
But once I'm dead, chop me up into chum and toss me in the water. Cut me into steaks and throw me into a zoo for the tigers and bears. I don't care. As big as I am I could feed a lot of critters. Or one critter for a long time.
Or give me to those Indian dudes that are cannibals.

Hmm I do think it would be good for me to eat less meat. And even though in my top 10 tasty foods it's probably all meat, missing the taste of it is not so much the problem. My problem is that I am not really convinced that it is healthy (or even healthier) to eat less or no meat. I know you are supposed to eat vegetarian stuff that kinda replaces the meat things. But does it replace all of the healthy things in meat? I'm a little skeptical. I guess, because the food I eat so far has worked well for me.
I am sure there are dietists and food specialists that can tell me that vegetarian food is very healthy. I am also sure plenty will tell me that it is not true. On the topic of food there is so much ongoing debate that someone like me will never know what is right or wrong. I guess I could try it a little and see what happens. It's tough to do, though, because I don't make my own food. And I can't just buy more food. Hmm we'll see.
Humans are omnivores, this is fact. We have canines, incisors...meat-cutting teeth. We have the digestive gear to process meat.
The issue, in this modern world of having everything at our fingertips, is over consumption. People eat too much meat, at least in the West and especially in the US. I forgot what the ratio is, but we are protein-obsessed here and in the rest of the world it's like 70% vegetable-based carbs 30% protein and here in the US it is the opposite, with protein generally being meat.
You don't need that much protein. Most of us are not body builders. Again, there's nothing inherently wrong with consuming that much animal protein, but it is taking a toll on the environment, and depending on the source of that protein it will take a toll on your health.
