Walks like a duck talks like a duck must be a faggit!!!

What exactly is this supposed to mean?

[Jason Eisner]

But havent humans always killed meats and ate them? Sending men out to spear large prey and bring it back to feed the villiage? What about other animals though? They have no problem murdering lesser defenseless prey to feed themselves.......questions questions

Hey Don...did you get a chance to watch the second video posted? It is an amazing video and the guy speaking uses pure logic to answer many of your questions.

A quick answer, although you should definitely watch the whole second video, is that humans have not always eaten animals. In fact we are not considered carnivores. True carnivores have a different set of teeth and a completely different jaw structure. They do not get food delivered pretty to them on a plate either. They kill their food with their mouths, not with technology, and they eat that shit raw and whole i.e. organs, muscle, fat, and all the meat all the way down to the bone. It is not pretty and looks nothing like Outback Steakhouse.

Not only that, but a large part of the argument made in the second video is that even if we did always eat animals (which we haven't) we no longer need to. We are lucky today to have lifestyle/diet science and an evolution in our food products.

If you take workout/protein supplements, eat iced cream, or use a computer, the argument that "didn't we always do blank" clearly doesn't apply. We do many things now that we didn't used to do, like drive cars, fly in planes, use contraception, and chat on forums, so why not apply this logic to the way we treat animals, eat food, and how we treat our bodies?

We eat meat because we have been taught to do so. Its antiquated like much of our culture.

I'll will give you this. Honestly...it tastes good. And it tastes good for the same reason Doritos taste good. Its filled with fat. Its also filled with things like hormones that will give you cancer.

Watch the video. Seriously. You're a smart guy and you'll get a lot out of it. He kills all of the common bullshit anecdotes that stop most people from becoming vegetarian.

The post Q & A is awesome too.

Jason... this video bothered me. I'm going to stop eating meat, and give my girlfriend the business when she buys anything leather.

I'm trying to watch it. I'm sitting in a guilt-coma for twenty minutes at a time and then put my laptop on standby.
