For those who say that at our current point in technological innovation meat is no longer needed and other methods are better / more effective. What about Eskimos? They have basically no other way of getting nutrition besides meat and fish. To those of you who say "They can just move or import their food", How would you like to move to a new place and not be able to eat your native diet?
To those who suggested economic vegetarianism, it makes perfect sense if the cows are eating soy or other grains which could instead be fed to humans but what about plants that humans cannot eat and other animals can. Is it not effective to turn clover and grass into edible meat?
To those of you who argue that animals deserve better treatment. I fully agree that animals need to be treated more humanely but how about we focus on the horrors that humans are doing to other humans, humans have generally been far more brutal to other humans than to animals. Just consider which is more valuable a human life or an animal's life?
And finally to those who say that meat is bad for you, just consider that all meat comes from plants, plants that even if we could eat, it would require us to eat gigantic amounts to get the equivalent nutrition as that of meat compounded by the fact that we are not phisiologically capable of properly digesting the myriad of plants that other animals can eat.
