I guess it all boils down to whether you agree with how the meat industry works. If you believe it works the way it should, and feel good about it, then I guess eating meat isn't much of a problem. If you on the other hand feel it is doing something fundamentally wrong, then cutting out meat could seem the most natural option.

I, for one, think the meat industry isn't working. I think treating animals like objects or machines is not right, I disagree with taking animals out of their natural habitat, I disagree with systematically killing animals to satisfy 'needs' we fundamentally do not have (we have a need to not starve, not to eat meat), I disagree with keeping animals most if not all their lives in small confinements for the cost benefits of a corporation and I disagree with keeping them in small confinements under transport for the cost benefits of a corporation. This to name a few fundamentally dysfunctional issues with the meat industry.

Morrissey (lead singer of The Smiths) is a tnuc.

I like his music, but I don't understand why he's so passionate.

The guy wears plastic shoes, and doesn't sit on leather sofas and chairs.

a bit random. sorry.

..I just ate a bbq pork sandwich and I was just, like, so angry at them the whole time..


Why do they have to go and taste so good..

I'm tired of hearing anti-vegetarians try to justify their carniverocity.

There is no justification for eating meat other than our own greed and pleasure.

If you like eating meat and want to continue doing so, don't bother trying to explain why you do it, just fuck off and enjoy being in your bubble, we wouldn't want it to pop

i agree, one could say it's human instinct to eat meat but is it really human instinct to farm animals purely for slaughter? i don't think so..

human's have fucked the planet beyond repair to be able to determine what is and isn't human instinct.

Things like "Human nature", "Instinct" & "The food chain" make me laugh.
Those are nothing compared to the power of logic, insight & cognitive ability that we humans are gifted with.

The only reason eating meat is so widely socially acceptable all over the globe is because so many people don't even see eating meat as a problem.

What fascinates me is how so many people are aware that there is a problem with eating meat, but just don't give enough of a fuck to do anything or learn more about it. They just want their delicious T-Bone steak with mushroom sauce & thats all that matters to them.

Don't confuse me with a preachy vegetarian, this is just what I think.

the last few months ive been eating less meat and... having less of an appetite for food too. which works well for me cuz i can spend more money on vinyls

plus i havent lost or gained any weight. though everyones chemistry is different i suppose. i think when i ate more meat i just craved it more. now i hold off and only buy free range chicken every once in a while. i do want to grill a good porter house sometime this summer though...

Vegatables Rule!

this is the way i can see myself going, eating vegetarian most of the time then occasionally breaking out some sick free range bacon or a massive steak

Vegetarians scare me, too. Better half arsed than not at all, though.

I recommend making a personal rule to not buy meat for yourself. That way you still get to eat meat (when you go to dinner at a girlfriends house, when your friend offers you a slice of pizza, someone shouts you some bbq). But you are acknowledging the problem & cutting down on our exessive consumption of meat (once a week should be something to aim for).
