This topic is up fairly often, is it not?
Anyways Ill say what I always say:
If all people on earth were to go vegitatian, or vegan, the space needed for the food would be mindblowing, and kill atleast just as many animals due to all the nature that needs to be restructured to fields.
Remember, a human being can NOT live of potatoes, they need Protine, starch, calsium, fat, sugar, salt (and the list goes on).
If we were all to get that from plants, the sheer space needed would be mindboggeling, and far far more inefficiant then meat is. And also less viable for the soil we use for it. And alot of those plants, are really unhealthy in the volumes that needs to be consumed (like beans)
The basic fact is that the human body is geared to sustain itself on a mix of meat and plants, which makes it very hard to skip meat without serious side effects.
To illustrate my point feel free to look up the life expectency og vegetarians (not that bad for them) and Vegans (die quite young), and then look up what is needed daily to support the possability of them living.
Ive found that most people who are against humans eating meat are people that have lived really sheltered lifes with no touch in the state of nature, and how nature is connected, and what each animal needs to survive.
Likely people who havenever seen where milk, or meat comes from, and think you can grow what is needed everywhere on earth. Thinking they have a golden answer no one ever thought about before... Personally I tend to dislike that specific kind of people, because they do no rescearch about how the things work. If it is from a religious purpose I do understand it alot more tho (accept).
To me It has never been a question of eating meat, but treating the animal well before it die, afterall alot of animals lives quite long, and likely a good life before it is turned into lovely meat, it is consumers that decides how well an animal have lived.
