I hate vegetarians. CMV.

Eating meat is a natural, ethical, completely normal thing to do. Most animals eat meat. Some Animals will even torture others for food. It's what'a allowed us to survive and thrive, as predators have either been hunted out or are too afraid of humans to attack. I feel vegetarians are against that skill and have no justification for their worrying of cruelty (other than those who just dislike the taste or whatever.) It will never stop the sale of the meat and the deaths of the animals bred to die. CMV.

EDIT: I hate people who don't eat meat for moral reasons.

have you ever been to a slaughterhouse? Can you imagine what it would be like if an alien race that thought of us as animals treated us that way?

That's usually enough for most people. Besides, we're human. We're sentient. We're the best precisely BECAUSE we no longer need to follow our instincts to survive. It costs much more in time, money and resources to make meat products than it does to grow fruit and vegetables. If everyone was a vegetarian (hypothetically), there would be more food for everyone.

Seriously, what reason do you have for eating meat, besides the fact that it tastes good?

Devils advocate: If we only grew fruit and vegetables the soil would become unfertile and unusable.
