I will always be a member of People who Eat Tasty Animals, but in a PM discussion, the issue was brought up. Assuming that it's not for survival, and that one can be healthy eating other stuff, I cannot defend the fact that I eat meat (and will continue to do so!). Can anybody provide a good reason with it is morally acceptable to eat animals when it is not necessary to survival??? And overpopulation of animals doesn't count, since we breed a lot of them just to eat them.
I think I'm just going to have to admit that I am being selfish when I eat meat and accept that it is wrong.

I think it is easiest to wash away the dilemma if you simply realize that the notion of morality is as silly as religon.

This is the correct viewpoint. I don't feel the need to justify eating animals. They taste good and when I'm hungry I'll eat one, simple as that. If the roles were reversed, I'm sure no animal would hesitate to chow down on me.
I have no issues with eating plants either. For those who feel it is wrong to eat animals, is eating plants therefore okay? Why do animals have more claim to life than plants?

why do other humans?
