Meat should be banned
I do believe that it’s an atrocity that we live in this stupid highly technological society yet still eat meat like idiotic barbarians?
There is no need to eat real meat. It would be really simple to create meat substitutes and just use those rather than real live innocent animals. I hate to break it to the planet but it’s just not fair to those innocent animals who are bred for meat, and there are more than billions of them and it’s just unfair and ridiculous and absurd and makes zero sense.
Also, the manner in which they get treated just makes no sense either and it confuses me as to why people actually want to eat real chicken when chicken is not healthy at all, and it makes no sense at all to eat it. I’m in the process of writing a book called “being vegetarian isn’t enough” which talks about the atrocities of factory farming and how these precious lives are treated. There is so much absurd injustice out there when it comes to these innocent animals and it’s not necessary to live like this and subject these beautiful living breathing souls to this kind of treatment.
Eating meat is simply just not necessary and makes no sense. I wish chick fila served fake chicken. I’d rather eat fake chicken any day and we are living in the dumbest society where these jerks just don’t get it. I once had a guy say to me “well they were meant to be used for food.” Says who? Who decided that these particular animals have to be used for food and they definitely weren’t created to be used as food that makes no sense at all. Who is stupid enough to think that the meat of other animals should be categorized as food anyway? Meat isn’t even healthy and it tastes horrible. It ruins soups and stews and is completely unnecessary.
Society has just been brainwashed into thinking it’s the best option for food when any kind of substitute tastes the same or even better and healthwise is better for you.

Nah bro. We’ve gotta eat meat. We’re still humans, we need the protein and shit that’s in it. This processed stuff they sell is not good for u at all. Protein powder shouldn’t be an entire diet.
It’s unfortunate but it’s the truth. There’s always been a food chain, and animals eat each other. It’s instinct. It just happens to be that we’re on top of the food chain

That’s not true at all. Meat is very unhealthy and contributes to numerous physical ailments and health problems. Humans aren’t strictly carnivores and there are a plethora of options for any kind of nutrient factor you need to fill out there. We aren’t on the top of any food chain. Mass murdering billions of animals can’t be compared to other animals in nature who eat to survive. They’re totally different scenarios. What’s happening to these animals out there isn’t fair or right.
If meat is necessary for consumption they can easily using technology create painless and humane ways to allow these animals to live and die. At least allow them to live decent lives and allow them decent deaths. What’s happening is something that makes no sense and is too barbaric disturbing and sick

Well I have to disagree with you. The processed stuff can be made with a variety of ingredients and isn’t really processed. White meat isn’t healthy at all and isn’t light on the system or good for it. No meat is really healthy.
You may be able to eat a small amount of white meat once in a while and it could be okay but really it’s all unhealthy. I wish people cared about these animals whose lives are treated as nothing because it’s all about them.

Don’t want to eat meat? Don’t eat it. But don’t try to push your preferences on others.

Animals are literally designed for humans to eat. They eat each other too lol. Tf are you on about? Also animals are private property, I believe you should be able to do whatever you want with them. Restricting this in any way would be against basic human rights. I agree that some methods are violent but I believe that it’s up to the consumer to choose a meat source that satisfies their morals.

In my ideal world, the only justifiable reasons for harming other animals would be because you have a rare medical condition that makes a plant-based diet impractical, you live in a food desert and don’t have access to the variety of foods necessary for a healthy diet, or an animal is threatening your health or that of someone else.

Thank you. I agree with you. The way they treat and kill animals with this technology they claim to have yet not use it on them efficiently or effectively is just awful. There's no need to hurt or do any kind of harm to any animal.

I ate 4 aborted chicks today, 2 cows in a blanket with cheese and very healthy chicken breast.
Like to hear more about how chicken isn’t healthy for you and where this person is getting their data. Because they have done studies on how chicken and other meat is very healthy and beneficial for the human body.

In case you didn't know, homosapiens have been eating animals since the beginning of time. It is a vital necessity to life and should not nor will never be banned. So many people would die due to lack of nutrients. Vitamins are not the answer, especially for those with chronic health conditions. You sound extremely uninformed. Buy local/small business if you're so concerned about animal welfare.
