I could never be a vegetarian. I love meat way too much.
The way I see it, we raise some animals for food, and that's just the way things are.
However, how we treat those animals is unacceptable. Especially those that live in cages their entire lives before being slaughtered. I mean, they're being raised just to be killed and eaten by us and our pets, at least let them run around.

OOC Just uh, adding my two scents in. Animals might not be human, but they should still be treated the very best that they can, and just because they aren't human doesn't mean that's a right to mistreat them in any way, especially since most animals are a lot better than humans, just getting that out there.
As for the farms, here in the USA, they really aren't the best, however some, at least in my area, are very good to the animals, if all farms treated their animals right, there really wouldn't be a problem.

i just cannot eat meat anymore
if you have never read about how these chickens, pigs, and cows where raised, do it time to buy enough lettuce, bread, and nutella to last me 3 weeks
•℘•I did more than a year ago, and after the three deaths this year I've learned to value all life even more so than before. I hate PETA though. And I don't pressure other people to do the same. It's an acquired lifestyle.

It's too expensive for me to become a vegetarian. Plus, I just can't give up meat.

I enjoy meat too much to ever consider becoming vegetarian. However, if this is what other people would like to do, do it! Whatever makes you happy. I do agree a bunch of animals going to slaughter should be treated better. But, it's unlikely it'll ever change most people just don't care, but maybe one day it could change. You never know.

Good luck with the new foods! It'll be a wonderful experience to have to work out new meals and try new things, and (if you like cooking, at least) should be a lot of fun as well as healthier.

i don't think it's selfish to eat meat is a lion selfish when it eats a zebra? is a snake selfish when it eats a mouse? we are animals too - ambiverts. we've always eaten meat. but what i do disagree with is factory farming and any farms that mistreat animals. any meat i eat and any dairy products i buy are free-range, because i know they were treated better there. & the way they kill animals is terrible. if we're gonna eat their meat then we should at least kill them humanely & if you think about it a pig wouldn't think before eating a human, and cows kill people all the time.
don't get me wrong im like the world's biggest animal lover, and i don't eat beef bc im a huge lover of cows. but i do eat chicken quite a lot, and i sometimes eat bacon, too. maybe i wouldn't if i owned those type of animals, but i don't. & i do feel guilty and eat less meat than i used to, after finding out how many animals are treated. as for fish, i just don't like the taste of fish. i eat it though, because it had loads of nutrients in it. i know how horrible it is for them when they're lifted out of the sea in huge nets, as it's like being drowned for them, but it would be bad for my health to give it up.
also what i do hate is when people think they're above animals. i know animals will never be humans, but that's a good thing bc honestly humans are the most cruel animal out there. no other animal kills for trophies. we aren't above animals in any way - nor are we more intelligent. every animal is intelligent in its own way. so when people say that animals should be slaughtered for us bc they are below us it bugs me so much. animals should be EQUAL to us not BELOW us, as they are more compassionate than humans anyway. was it animals that destroyed all the rainforests and wiped out so many species? no. it was humans.

I can't afford to give up meat, it's my favorite thing ever and I think I actually somehow managed to get addicted to it
