You don't have to eat meat for the nutrition! Argh! Why the veggies in here have told you that you are lazy and ignorant in our meat-eating arguments before, is because you really are. You say that you eat meat because you have to, but that's just that you don't
know any better. You could go and study the subject, before saying this argument over and over again. Because
it isn't true! Let me make it simple for you: You do not have to eat meat to be healthy. You can get your proteins and iron and
everything else your body needs without
ever putting a piece of meat on you mouth. Veggies get proteins from different kinds of beans and peas and soy products. You are ignorant, because you don't know the real facts and you're lazy, because you don't go and find them out. And I sure am not skinny, so there's no point there...

I also am lactose intolerant. Does that make me ignorant and selfish because I don't drink milk?

Oh, don't be stupid!

When if some one were to be allergic to fruits and vegetables and have to take supplements or have to eat meat in order to prevent themselves of starvation or malnutrition?

If it was a healt issue, I think eating meat would be acceptable. But are there really humans, who can't digest
anything, which would replace meat in his diet?

You species info is interesting. If you say eating meat is wrong and stuff for us, why can't you say that to a monkey? (since some are omnivores like the Pata Monkey and the baboon) Since you think that animals can reason, well I dare you to try to reason with a monkey not to eat meat then and change into a vegetarian.

There we go again. Here comes the "other animals eat meat, why couldn't we?" argument...
Because we know better. And besides, animals, who eat meat kill it themselves, which is, on my opinion, more acceptable than letting someone do the dirty work for you. It sure isn't pretty, though, when eg. a lion kills a gasell. The gasell can still be alive when the lion starts ripping it to pieces... But there isn't anything we can do about it. And there are animals, who just
have to eat meat, or who wouldn't do so good without it. We
can survive without meat, and eg. dogs could. I've been studying the subject, and I may turn my dog to one, but I really want to study it properly, so my dog won't lack anything in her diet, because I don't want to make her sick. Cats are also possible to turn into veggies, but it's much harder on them, than dogs.
Oo... and here comes the "you stupid people, who think animals can reason". I (and many other people on this board as well, or taht's what they've said in their posts) think that animals can think, feel, remember and feel pain. Most animals are intelligent and it's stupid to say they aren't. By intelligent we don't think they are as intelligent as humans, but they are thinking and feeling creatures with a mind of their own, not our toys or material for us, whom we can just use as we please. Of course we can't go and talk to them. But if we study their ways of communicating with their peers, we can learn to communicate with them. And what comes to monkeys; they can learn up to hundreads of words. Really learn. If a human says something, like "ball" they can go and get the ball, if they're taught to do so. But then again, is the human trying to communicate with the monkey or just toy with it?
