      Point is we don’t have to, and if you acknowledge this along with the fact that our consumption contributes to animal suffering, what does that make us?

      I don’t much care for unhelpful labels like “evil,” but it sure isn’t good. It’s not even consistent.

          but it doesn’t matter except to you, your friends, and the particular animals you didn’t eat.

          Why does the animals’ interest to not be killed not outweigh you and your friends’ desire to end their life and eat their body, instead of plants that give you equal nourishment?

          Why is the value of their very life less than the value of your whim?

          Wow how it that some people are able to go against the will of their genes (and instincts!!) and forgot forego participating in the Natural Cruelty that is eating other animals! Amazing! Surely we would want to export this incredible gift to as many people as possible, right?
