1. Animals are alive.
2. Animals have feelings.
3. Animals are unhealthy.
4. Plants are made for people to eat.
5. Animals have faces.
These are all valid reasons, but they all apply to plants too. If a person follows these rules, then he can't eat anything. Let's examine each of the reasons.
1. Plants are alive too.
2. Just because animals move more than plants doesn't mean that they have more feelings. According to this logic, people in comas don't have feelings because they don't move. Is it okay to eat them? By being a vegetarian a person is insulting these people! I'm appalled.
3. Everything is unhealthy in some way. Some meat has a lot of fat, but you have to get the protein from somewhere, and milk and eggs have much more fat than lean turkey meat.
4. Most animals wouldn't be born if we didn't eat them. What else do you think we would use
cows and pigs for? Purfume?5. Plants have faces too!
If you're not going to eat animals, then for the same reasons you can't eat plants. So if you're contemplating a major dietary alteration, please stop and think about it logically.
I'm not trying to be rude and I hope that I don't offend anyone. I actually respect vegetarians for the devotion that they give to their ideals. It just seems a little misplaced to me.
So remember; in addition to animals and people in comas, plants have feelings too.
