You know what? I believe it would be best if I simplified my arguments. Here are some of the benefits of eating vegan.
1. We don't need to slaughter, gut and cook an animal. Even if one found this morally acceptable, I'm sure no one wants to deal with disembowled intestines filled with half digested stool.
2. It provides more energy. If energy is always lost in a system, than meat is just an unnecessary step between plant and human. With all of the metabolizing and movement livestock does, we get less out of them than we put in.
3. No cholesterol. We don't have to live with the increased risk of heart attack or clogged arteries.
4. It can taste pretty damn good. There's even a book called The Meat Lovers Meatless Cook Book.
5. It's easier to raise a garden than it is to raise meat. That means access to a personal food source.
If anyone could disprove these points, please do. I hate giving false information. If anyone would like to provide points for eating meat, remember that 'Because it tastes good', and 'It's what we've always done' might not cut it. Decisions based on pleasure and tradition can often be rather...well, just think of all the ways we've hurt each other for those things. They look like bad ideas in hindsight, don't they?
