Are you a reptillian or what? Because you belong to that specie you seem to hate . We are the most valuable specie because we adquired the capacity to set aside our animal instinct and live in a society where you just can´t do whatever your mind tells you. You also think any animal could reach the potential humans have developed through the years (industry, medicine, technology, etc..) ? It´s always being at the top of the food chain. Luckily we are at the top of food chain and that combined with the things we created and developed as a specie will separate us more and more from the rest of the animals throughout the years.

Um sis...this is basic health 101. I really hope for your sake that you're not consuming saturated fats and cholesterol thinking they're healthy because...

Never said healthy, but they aren't bad for you. Actually cholesterol is healthy for you, it keeps your cells fluid and arteries cleared (HDL at least)

And as long as you keep saturated fats in moderation it has no net effect on health

but yeah slightly off topic. Meat is cute and I will eat it hihi

I may sound like an animal racist, but I'm okay with eating animals, as long as you don't touch the horses.

Poaching is illegal yet a considerable amount of animal species is almost extinct...

This won't change anything... Unfortunately.

I hope not

meat has been connected to an increased risk of cancer

While this is perhaps the most legitimate point that has been posted (a few times) in this thread, I do want to note that almost everything gets linked to an increased risk of cancer and plenty of things that "have been connected" (via one study or two or a hundred) are never banned. I think it's something we should be mindful of, but it's not necessarily grounds to make meat consumption illegal.

Why aren't the people supporting eating meat saying anything about the environmental issues it causes?

Gurl, I know he knows "health 101" as well as or better than the next person.

So you're telling me that you believe that the consumption of saturated fats and cholesterol is healthy? I've read it all now. That's my cue to exit. I guarantee you the vast majority of medical professionals will disagree with you because of the vast amount of studies that have been done that show that these two compounds are extremely unhealthy for the body. But you do you.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. The thing is though, our body creates it's own cholesterol, which is why it's not healthy to intake too much more.

Well recycling is bad for the environment too but we do that

Because it's a comparatively inconsequential issue that can be fixed through means other than not eating meat, which I actually did briefly address thx v much. We're not talking about it because we don't need to.

Why aren't people saying it's unnatural addressing my point about meat being responsible for the fact that your brain is larger than a baseball? Why aren't people saying it's unnatural addressing the extinction of a species of hominid that was vegetarian in nature while a parallel omnivore species survived? Why aren't people saying it's unnatural addressing my points about the fact that humans can chew, digest, and obtain nutrients from meat and animals can still get sick from it? Why are people saying we shouldn't eat it avoiding the idea that different people have different ethical theories?

Hm.

This is true as well. But while i do care about animals and I would put myself on the same level as them, I personally love meat talk much to give it up. Seeing as there also health benefits to it (as long as it's not red meat) it's not really bad imo. The only bad thing is what we are doing to the animals

DON'T EAT HORSES, PEOPLE.

Did I say any of that? No, don't put words in my mouth, feel free to leave.

(not to mention that some amount of cholesterol is necessary for you to live so having a moderate balance with some from food is FINE but what the hell ever I guess)

So I guess you're okay with what's happening in North Korea because of different ethical theories?

Sorry, I assumed you were saying that. And I covered the cholesterol part above: our bodies make our own cholesterol. Any more taken in from diet is unnecessary and extra.

The nerve of you saying this suggests you don't actually know what I mean by "ethical theory." Go take an intro ethics class or something. Watch a YouTube video. Get a clue about what you're arguing about before you make comments like this.

But not entirely unhealthy with the right moderation.

I still don't get what's the difference.
