No offense to anyone here, but the whole vegetarian/vegan diets are not the most healthy and we are definitely omnivores. Sure, the meat today is of poor quality and produced in atrocious conditions, but before the time of factory farming, meat was a big part of our diets and has been for millions of years. And it tastes delicious. If we weren't meant to eat meat, then why do we crave it? Why does it have an essential vitamin that does not exist anywhere else (B12)? And what about plants? They are living things as well. Just because they may not feel pain does not mean that you are not killing them.
We are omnivores and that's the end of the story. I look at vegetarians and vegans and I see sickly looking people. Even if they are SAD vegans, they look worse than SAD omnivores. In a perfect world, we would hunt for our meat and it would be much healthier than the meat we eat today. This is why the vegan and vegetarian shun meat, because factory farming has made meat less healthy than in the past. Or they feel compassion for animals, but most people in this world don't even talk to their neighbors, so I do doubt that in most people.
Death isn't a horrible thing anyway. IT's part of the cycle of life. An animal dies so we can eat. When we die, if we weren't embalmed and made toxic, the worms and other insects would eat us. There's nothing evil about eating animals. It's natural.
