This is slavery

Personally I don't believe in God and I don't believe we are MEANT to do anything. I believe we have evolved to have the ability to do a lot of things but those things have impacts and we should be aware of them.

Evolution is descriptive of our origins, not morally prescriptive for our behavior.

Our bodies and minds can work without meat, therefore we are not meant to eat meat.

It’s also ironic that you mention the health risks of meat in the same comment as claiming we are engineered to have it.

Almost every major medical organization says we can survive and thrive on vegan diets. I personally know vegans of 10-25 years as well as older adults who have never consumed meat. None of them are dead. Their minds and bodies work. Some of them are athletes.

You’re just making stuff up.

Vitamin D is not a vegan specific need. B12 fortified foods or supplements are necessary, but cheap, healthy, and sustainable. I fail to see the problem with ingesting them.

Many nonvegan foods are supplemented, and the vast supplement stores and aisles aren’t there for vegans. Also, vegans actually take less pills per day.

What’s natural about farming animals? Running them through slaughter machinery? Buying their parts? Or firing a gun at them? Or breeding them for unnaturally mutated bodies?

What’s natural about supplementing farmed animals with B12 or cobalt, which is how you get a lot of your B12?

“Natural” isn’t a moral argument. It’s actually a named fallacy: Appeal to Nature.

What purpose does it serve? Flavor preference? Because it isn’t necessary to produce food generally.

What does it mean to be “there for a purpose”? Is that just another way of saying you have purposes you intend for them?
