Discussion: Does eating meat make you sad?

Truffle.

idk i feel like i have no say in this because honestly i only stopped eating meat like 4 weeks ago so i don't think it's my place to judge anyone who does eat meat

i followed peta on a whim and i know everything they tweet isn't necessarily 100% factual but i just can't get over the fact that the meat that i'm eating was an animal - a living being breathing the same air as us - once upon a time. it really saddens me and i get sick to my stomach whenever i see it now.

also idk if this is relevant but it's especially harder for me because i have a pet in my house and i know it's stupid to think this but now every time i see someone eating meat i imagine my dog being there in place of the meat and i break down mentally.

idk if it makes sense but yeah just wanted to put it out there.
im on my 4th week of no meat.

I feel bad for eating meat

But it tastes good so I won't stop

Josh

Gives me the happys

Khal

Yes...

...when it's undercooked or underseasoned

Ryanicorn

nope.

it's good af

Outlaws

Sometimes, tbh. Even eating eggs.

Spring Breakers

Yes, that's why I stopped eating it and having dairy in my diet long time ago feel a lot better

Abyssy

Yeah more than anything in the world.

Animals don't deserve to be abused and slaughtered just for selfish people. They are living creatures, they feel pain and emotion and have done nothing to deserve the agony they go through. It's not even a necessity, people don't need meat and that's a fact, they just have it because they want it.

But that's great that you've stopped eating meat and the idea of comparing your dog to the animals makes sense, if you wouldn't like your dog to be killed for food why should any other innocent animal be?

You're doing a great thing, please keep it up. No matter what other people have to say you're doing the right thing. You've already done a month, keep going

Same.

I'm in the transitioning phase from a vegetarian to a vegan.
It's honestly hard though, I can admit that.

aw thank you,
i've always been fond of animals and such but i never worried about eating meat because i never thought about the horrors of what they had to go through

the idea of an animal being born and it's only purpose to be on my plate makes me so sad

i wish i could go free them all.

Yeah, sometimes I think about that but so what?

This is the circle of life, cattle eat grass and fatten up and are devoured by predators and if not them us. We are omnivorous by nature and have the option of eating both meat and fruits/vegetables. Why not take full advantage of that and enjoy the delicacies the world has provides us. There are MANY benefits that come with eating meat anyway.
