lol.. This forum is better then any other forum I have registered with when it comes to friendly arguments. More then one vegetarian thread has been posted here and they always become very heated though.
If they want to put t-
OX-IN their bodies that is their choice.
777 made some good posts about meat recently in his epic thread:

This will probably anger meat eaters more, but this thread has all the typical meat eaters responses:
Try to compare killing animals too plants: check
Try to justify their actions by saying the animal enjoyed their life before killing it: Check
Try to justify the murder by giving thanks: Check
Deep down inside, if they were able to put their pleasure for the taste of meat aside, they know that killing animals is wrong, simply by the reactions of terror and fighting for life the animals have as they slit their throats. I've spent time with farm animals and they enjoy every minute of life, at least the ones who are free-range. They know, there is no way the killing can be justified at its core, despite how mad it gets them.
Here a is a recent response I made to a question concerning out teeth:
We need these teeth because many types of veggies and nuts, and so forth are much tougher then meat.
Animals who instinctively eat meat have a digestive system to handle the job. The jaw joints of these animals an up and down vertical hinge, and there teeth are overlapping, sheering fangs made for tearing flesh, and they also have claws. Where is our claws?
By contrast, herbivores such as horses and humans have a sliding jaw joint and flat, grinding back molars that allow them to chew in a rotary motion for grinding grains and greens.
The stomach acid of of carnivorous animals is twenty times that of herbivores because the digestion of flesh requires a lot of acid. If a herbivore (like you or me) eats flesh, the body must drastically increase its acid production, which upsets natural pH balance necessary to maintain health. Carnivorous animals have colons that are constructed to guarantee quick elimination. The bowel of a carnivore is smooth and it takes waste through a relatively short, straight route of elimination.
The bowels of humans, in contrast, is full of pouches and indentations. It follows a long and windy path full of sharp turns. Fatty, processed, and cooked foods cannot pass through this route easily or quickly. (only living foods, full of digestive enzymes and fiber can move quickly through this maze.) The end result of today's average diet is a grim but indisputable statistic: The greater the intake of cooked and processed foods and animal products, the greater the occurrence of disease.

Anyway... love and blessings to all. |
