Are you really that hungry??? ( lol, thx brad = p )

All you people who are vegetarians, need to learn a little something called "the food chain"

Humans eat meat, don't want to eat meat, fine. Don't shove it in everybody else faces and act like your some sort of superior being.

I like meat, I don't care if animals suffer for it, they were bred to die, so really, I don't care. The sooner the peta morons realise that, the better.

And it's spelt "Hungry" ...

That question is flawed - herbivores have sharp front teeth to cut up grass, which they then chew with their flat teeth.

We have flat molars, and sharp incisors and canines.

Incisors are found also in herbivores, and are designed to cut through stuff, like meat, grass, anything. Molars are designed for chewing, mushing food up.

The canines are not found in herbivores, as they are designed to rip and puncture flesh rather than cut.

However, the human canine is very undeveloped. If you look at a dog's canine teeth, they are nearly twice the length of the rest of their teeth, whereas human canines are about the same length.

However, the human digestion system is entirely capable of digesting meat, whereas in Herbivores it is not properly developed to do so.

Overall, this might suggest that we have the capability to eat meat, but should not eat as much as we do, and should eat soft vegetables and fruit a lot more than we do.



They do, Brad, and actually, they follow the food chain in a much more efficient way than you do.

Example (not using actual figures):

1 Cow will feed one person for 3 months. This cow has to be 5 years old before it can be eaten, or it will be too small. Said cow requires 1kg of vegetables per week to stay alive. Therefore, it takes 250kg of vegetables to feed one person for three months.

Say one person requires 1kg of vegetables per week to stay alive. To stay alive for 3 months, this person requires 12kg of vegetables.

As you can see, the vegetarian option is far more efficient that the meat-eating option. In this example, the vegetarian is using the food chain to be more than 20 times more efficient than the meat-eater.

I made an image to illustrate the point:





I agree with this, however. Vegetarians often do act like they are morally superior to other people a lot of the time, which can get annoying.

-

I eat meat, because i like eating meat. It tastes nice. I do, however, buy free-range eggs and chicken. I disagree severely with battery farming; but if a chicken is allowed to roam free and do as it pleases until slaughter-day comes, then thats fine with me.

Ty.

People didnt eat just vegetables when we first evolved, and vegetarians now dont either. We dont ONLY eat vegetables. Plants were once living, sure, but contrary to eating animals they cant feel. Like I said before, they dont have a central nervous system. So when we chop them up they dont feet anything. Unlike animals. I wasnt "born to eat meat", I was born to live and reproduce then die, and I can do that just fine without eating flesh. Sure, I ate meat when I was young, but unlike then I now have the ability to see its cruel and I can now make the choice not to eat meat if I want to.

Lol. I'm thinking you guys missed something.

The animals we eat are dead anyway, does it really matter how they lived? Are you -not- going to eat a peice of chicken because it died while crying, and then go off and eat another peice of chicken cause it was having the greatest time of its life and then got shot? No. Meat is meat.

Humans aren't supposed to be vegetarians, we -need- the protein from meat to survive. if you want to eat vegetables for the rest of your life, fine, but if you're stupid enough to say that eating meat is murder, and pulling a tomato off it's vines isn't - then I hope you choke on those protein pills you'll be taking in a few years time.

I'd love to say I didn't mean to offend anyone, but actually, I did. XD

I'd like to add that plants can feel

Otherwise, how could a venus fly trap know when something is inside it, so it can close it's jaws and devour the insects inside?

Yet another flawed argument. Humans need protein to survive, but it doesnt really matter where it comes from. If you eat beans and eggs, you can get protein that you would normally get in meat. If you eat flax seeds and soya, you can get Omega-3 that you would normally get in oily fish.
