The "Smoking" topic inspired me to create a new thread about the social irresponsibilities of eating meat.

Eating meat is harmful for the environment. Forests are destroyed to create paddocks where cattle can be raised for meat, the cows also produce immeasurable amounts of methane which is damaging for the ozone layer. Rather than growing fields of crops to feed the cows only to eat the cows, it's much more efficient for us to simply eat the crops.

Eating meat makes your breath smell like decomposing flesh, and gives your body a strange, unpleasant odour. Only non-meat eaters can notice the smell because those who eat meat are used to it.

Eating meat causes a number of different types of cancers, and is also a leading cause of heart disease. As well as being unhealthy, eating meat shows a lack of compassion for those of us less advanced. Meat eaters inflict unnecesary suffering on others, sacrificing innocent lives in their quest for pleasure.
