Quote by: StrongHeartsWin  That, along with your abilities to control your passions and being able to reason, means you can choose. If our species is naturally wired to choose and can live quite healthily in modern society on a vegetarian diet, then why would it be unnatural to choose to not eat flesh? The ability to choose with reason is a natural thing for us, isn`t it?
Do we simply base our decisions on what other animals do and not do or refuse to do? Dogs do not refuse to mate in front of others simply because others are around due to morals, but we control ourselves and do not act like dogs, thus do not hump on each other when the mood strikes us anywhere any time.
Check your reasoning to make sure it is not premised on prejudice and you may find things are not as simple as you imagine. |
First of all, I don't like your undertone of "you are a biased meat eater with no reasoning", so let's practice that control you were talking about, and stop with the passive-agressive?
Great.
Now, you misunderstood my post. I am not attacking vegetarianism, I am just saying why I am not one. If pre-humans had not eaten meat, we would not be here today. Infact, there is evidence to suggest that our vastly superior intelligence over all other species on this planet was contributed to the large amount of protein that our troglodytic ancestors consumed.
This may not apply to the present, but evolutionarily speaking, all of the evidence I see suggests that meat eaters will come out on top.
May be a little outlandish, but only because not many care to think about the evolutionary integrity (sp?) of our race.
Edit: Also, don't try to compare the societal bounds of humans to the natural world. The two are completely unrelated. These rules are needless human inventions. If you watched Seinfeld, you would know that
