Question

If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made with meat?

Answer 1

You're made of meat too.

Answer 2

Oh, dear Gaia, that question has got to be older than John McCain.  Meat is the term we give to muscles.  People who eat meat are eating the muscles of a slaughtered animals.  People who eat ribs are eating the intracostal muscles, the breathing muscles, of a slaughtered animals.  Animals are not "made of meat," silly, they're turned into meat.

Answer 3

Well we're made out of meat.

Yet you don't see people turning into cannibals--Well at least, not most people.

Answer 4

umm, people are also made of meat, we don't eat people.

Answer 5

People are made of meat, too. Is it okay if stuff your parents into a small cage with hundreds of other people, force-feed them, electrocute them rectally, skin them, slice off the fat, and eat them at my next BBQ?

Answer 6

OH MY GOD!  Animals aren't made of "meat".  They are made of flesh just like people.  What is wrong with you?  Get away from the television and get out into the real world!  Educate yourself my dear!

Answer 7

Good response veggie and Arielle, I was going to say the same thing.  :)

Answer 8

Don't bait the vegetarians, their choice is every bit as valid as yours, and you're being rude.

You can also eat bugs. If you aren't supposed to eat live cockroaches, why are they so full of protein?

Answer 9

People are made of meat too, does that mean we should eat them?

ha ha I didn't read all the other answers before I posted this...great minds think alike :)

Answer 10

um.... animals are living things that move, meat/muscle are the easiest things to move. humans are made up of meat/fat/and muscle and you dont go around eating them (if you do your a freakkkkkk)

Answer 11

"why dont we eat eachother since were made out of meat too??"

Us living organisms were made out of meat to protect our inside body such as heart, liver, kiddney and brain from the environment, climate changes, and predators.

Answer 12

Wow.

That's all I have to say to this question.

I mean- are you serious?

Answer 13

Yeah, I just made a snow man out of some frozen hamburger patties.

Answer 14

Actually, meat is made of muscle.

And you need muscle to move.

That's like saying, "we should eat humans, we're made of meat."

Answer 15

That's an old joke. It shows up in this forum at least once every two weeks.

It's based on the assumption that everyone likes to eat meat. Since I don't like the taste or smell of meat, the joke is lost on me.

If you are looking for a career in comedy, get some new material.

Answer 16

I've always loved that question.....

Answer 17

Hooved animals like deer,cows,horses,goats, etc etc aren't meant to eat animals and they are made of meat.

Answer 18

When stated like that, you should include humans as well...and you should eat them if it's all the same.

Animals are not "made with (or of) meat". They are living creatures who have flesh and bones -just like humans. Just because they are killed and cooked does not change the fact that it is their flesh that people are consuming.

Eating the flesh of another once-living being just doesn't make logical sense to me and that's why I don't eat it.

Answer 19

dogs are made with meat...so are kittens.

and babies

is your mouth watering?

Answer 20

Meat in an animal AND human is actually MUSCLE.

I LOVE MEAT!!

Answer 21

Other animals eat animals too!

We can't digest grass & other forms of cellulose.

Answer 22

cause in ice age there were only animals alive and now when humans think and ice age is over, we can simply eat veg*n food to survive.

Answer 23

Every creature that has blood is composed of meat. It's a fact. Your mom and dad are meat too. Question: Will you eat them? I know it's a very bad analogy but it is somehow the same thing.

Answer 24

If we aren't suppose to eat humans, why are they made of meat also?
