: jeremy cook: if you don't think eating animals is wrong..then you might as well eat a human being..but you won't do that though...we are all animals just because we are smarter does not make us superior....our bodies are not even mad properly do digest meat..you can ask a doc. if you don't believe me....we have no right to go into a habitat and destroy it.and don't even try to tell me we can't live without meat...soy has twice the protein than meat does...

First of all I eat meat. My philosophy is this: Why waste your whole life worrying about what someone else is doing. Why don't you worry about yourself before you go criticizing someone else's lifestyle. Great you don't meat. I am happy for you because there is nothing wrong with that. Just because I eat meat does not mean that there is something wrong with me and that I am a horrible person. Just because I enjoy eating a hamburger does not mean I would want to chop a human body and grill it for hamburgers. It may be possible that if I worked in a plant where they kill the animals, I might have a different opinion but I don't. So the only meat I see is on a McDonald's cheeseburger. It all goes down to the food chain. We as humans happen to be on the top of that list. That is only true because we are smarter and we are superior to animals. That is why we are on top of the food chain. Somebody has to be on top. If not us then who?

I recently read a book about the Indian way of life which was only taking what you need and from that taking only the small or sick animals so the bigger, healthier ones could live on and produce more of that species. I don't think this way of life is wrong so maybe this could be a better way of living.
