I'm gonna draw an analogy. Don' take offense, I'm not comparing eating meat to this, I'm just comparing your justification to it, demonstrating why the justification isn't a real one.
A psychopath likes killing and torturing people, so he does it.
That's a complete straw man and you know it.
Not really. As I said before. David Hume. Naturalistic Fallacy.
Ask a baby or a toddler whether they would rather eat meat or vegetables. I'm willing to bet that the majority are inclined to say the the former rather than the latter. Instinctively our taste buds are geared around liking and eating salty foods and sweet foods rather than bitter or plain foods. There's no fallacy around that.
Great, you don't view the infliction of demonstrable suffering of animals as a bad thing. You have your own reasons for that. I empathize with them, you don't. Simple. I'm not trying to tell you "Become a vegetarian or you're an evil fascist!" I'm just giving MY reasons for why I am one, and why I don't buy excuses that people who choose to eat meat tend to give me. And I say that because if I ACCEPTED the excuses...then I would probably be eating meat.
A clash of opinions lets move on.
As far as being a vegetarian not solving any problems...you do accept basic economics right? Demand and supply? As Demand goes up, so then does Supply? Demand goes down and Supply results in a surplus that results in lower amounts of production.
Yeah cool except for that's based off flawed basis because there isn't a demand for the supply actually. Or more precisely to say that the demand for food production isn't fueled by consumer demand at the moment. The world harvest produces enough food annually to feed every person in this world twice over already. Also you can't be as naive to believe you, one person not eating meat is actually going to change anything at all rofl.
Also, real quick, I find it funny that you keep railing about meat being required for energy to exercise and all that. That's completely untrue. You can find protein products all over the vegetarian dietary scale from smoothies to supplements to substitute veggie burgers. So...you're wrong on that too.
Not denying that, but why go for those products when meat is cheaper, tastier and more easily available.
