Since you brought biology into it, i have to bring those points up. We have FLAT teeth. Most plant eating animals have FLAT teeth. So, really, if you are keeping with what we are SUPPOSED to do, before we ate meat, we were probably intended to be plant eaters.
And, our intestines, when compared with carnivores, have much smaller tracts. Again, this fact weakens the argument that we were supposed to eat meat. Meat stays in our bodies longer than in animals like lions, which is one reason we have increased colon cancer chances.

LOL- I love it when "vegetarians" point to fish as a good source of protein. Last time I checked, fish are animals, not plants.
Humans are omnivores. I'll go long stretches without eating meat, but it is an essential part of our diet. I agree our society eats too much meat, but I still love it, and the animal cruelty part of it doesn't come into play. Of course, I buy my meats from local distributors, all of whom slaughter their meat in as humane a way as possible.
I love my dog ... but I will not ever stop eating meat.

Wait are you actually suggesting that Evolving is relative to Meat eating? So, we would be "de-evolving" by becoming vegetarian? This is a very interesting argument. Can you expand upon this?
1. I would not stop a Cheetah. I cannot talk to a Cheetah to discuss the moral and philosophical pros and cons of taking on a vegetarian diet.
2.High protein, high calorie diets in 2005 don't have to do with meat. There are plenty of non meat products that are high in protein and calories.

I know how natural order works. I'm not the one claiming that vegetarianism is the way. I eat animals lower in the food chain. I use those canines.
1. I beg to differ. Morality does have to do with it. We are taking a life away. Morality deals with such issues.
2.As I said, scientists have proven that we do not NEED meat. Forget survival, that is the minimum, even to be healthy we do not NEED meat. Supplements? Yes. But they are naturally occuring, such as protein whey, so whats the big deal. Take spinach and grind it up, there ya go, its a supplement. You're not having to use really fancy supplements to support a healthy vegetarian diet.
3). We are always evolving, i do not dispute that, but that doesn't respond to this point.

That is a completely uneducated comment. We are omnivores, and we have both flat teeth for eating plants AND sharp canines for ripping through meat.
Eating strictly plants is not natural. So to keep what we are supposed to do, you'd eat plants and animals.
Love for dog is one thing. I said that I gained a respect for dogs and other living creatures by having one. I realize that they really do have feelings and emotions. Animal cruelty does not come into play? for you, for meat eaters? or are you saying they that killing an animal is not a cruel thing? clarification needed
In a very calm and informative voice:
I did not state I was a veggie. My entry to this topic was to educate those who believe that we cannot survive without red meat "as it gives us protein and fats".
I have been a veggie and a vegan in the past. However I realized that my body required other sources of nutrients
What I don't understand is........... why stop eating meat......... yet go and buy those NASTY artificial "not-dogs" or veggie burgers?
I tried those veggie burgers at Sams club, they try to make them taste like meat, yet they really end up tasting like cardboard.
If you wanna stop eating meat, go right ahead, if you don't like the taste of it. But, if you like the taste, why bother stopping to eat it. It's good for you, tastes good, and always remember......
"The cow would eat you if they could.........." Gotta love the foodchain!

I went vegetarian for awhile because of moral reasons. But after thinking about it, I began to question my decision. Just because plants can not get up and walk away does not make it more okay to eat them compare to eating a cow.
Now, I am back to being an omnivore

ok how abouyt MY moraility says it has nothing to do with it, IMO theres nothing morally or ethically wrong with killing an animal to eat it, i dont even care if you are asian and you eat dog, just as long as its not my dog you can wat all of it you want
we (humans) are teh top species on this planet, so everything else is there for us to consume. im sorry if you dont like this but thats just the way it is, inow if animals were intellegend and coudl talk and all that then eateing them woudl prob be bad, but seeing as they cont have cognative thought its not an issue
