What are the reason for people eating meat??Why don't some people?

Question

What are the reasons besides they can???

Answer 1

For all the meat-eaters out there... why don't you take a trip to the slaughterhouse and see what really happens? Then, picture yourself as the animals being killed, and your family and friends. When you are driving and see roadkill, think about how all you do is swerve when you see a dead animal. If it was a human, you would have called 911. It isn't "nature" to eat meat. It's man's selfish need to be the "dominant species". Man always wants to feel like they are on top of the food chain. So, they abuse animals to make themselves feel like they are better, when all they are is MURDERERS.  As Pythagoras once said, "As long as Man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings, he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love." He is absolutely correct.

Answer 2

i like meat because it has  alot of protein.that's all I'm saying

Answer 3

i personally eat it because i cant eat alot of other things that contain protien. im allergic to nuts, wheat, tropical fruits, dairy, seafood, and strawberries. I cant just cut out one of the food groups i can eat, if i were to do that i'd get really sick really fast. and i dont eat red meat all to often as it is to hard on my stomach and takes to long to digest.

Answer 4

That's a stupid question. It's a natural food source-- we are omnivores. It is incumbent upon the oddball to answer why they AREN'T doing a thing-- not the other way around. Eat what you want but don't act like it's "odd" to eat meat. It's like saying "why DO people live in houses".

*************EDIT******************

Stop fixating on someone being rude and GET the point-- it IS stupid. You're acting like you're baffled that people eat meat-- do you wonder why we breathe air too? Think about what you're asking. Every omnivore and carnivore alive today evolved over millions of years to take advantage of such an abundant source of nutrition. Name another potent source of nutrition on this planet that is NOT exploited by some other life form? What would be REALLY weird is if no one ate it!

********EDIT**************

People have been eating meat since there were people. Primitive people didn't think "Hmm, why eat meat when we can use these soy beens and rice"-- it was logical that they harvested nutrient rich animals which were abundant. Whether YOU like it or not or agree with it or not, it is a source of good nutrition which most everyone loves to eat. Being intentionally obtuse about that fact just makes you sound like a nutjob.

Answer 5

Because they are not vegetarians

Answer 6

People are just ignorant, and like to do what everyone else does. Think about how people choose their proportions of food today- they don't- restaurants and frozen meals do that for them. Once someone grows up used to eating meat, it's just nothing they think about much, but if a baby is raised without meat, that person will think meat smells and tastes gross.

If God gave us dominion over animals, each of us has our own personal conviction as to what that means. Maybe it's okay for some to destroy the oceans with nitrogen runoff from plants to feed animals and animal waste, while the animals are genetically manipulated and kept in very substandard conditions. If I have dominion over animals, I am certainly not choosing to do that. But, how many meat-eaters are really aware of how the food system works and what it does to other animals' habitats? My guess is not too many.

Answer 7

because it tastes good

Answer 8

I don't eat meat because I've done a lot of research and I've seen enough evidence that proves to me that the way animals are treated on the farm is absolutly horific. They aren't treated like anything besides machines. It's sad and I feel like a murderer whenever I eat meat. Honestly, I could never tell you why anybody would eat meat except because it taste good but honestly, I've forgotten what meat taste like and I would never go back.

Answer 9

People eat meat because they don't want to admit that they are contributing to inhumane cruelty. Nobody likes to feel like they're doing something wrong...

Also, a good portion of people are just plain ignorant.

Answer 10

all i know is:

thats a dum question, dennis is an idiot, and i agree with PSF11

Answer 11

Because humans are omnivores, and it's the best source of complete amino acids.

Answer 12

Well, we like it. It has plenty of protien. People have been eating meat since they found out they could many thousands of years ago.

There is nothing wrong with eating meat, just like anything else.

DON'T OVER DO ANYTHING.

Answer 13

God gave humans domination over animals. (Genesis 9:3)

Realize!!!!: God did not say we could mistreat them!! When people kill animals, they should make it as quick as possible. If we treat that which was entrusted to us foolishly, we will answer to God.
