Ethically speaking, vegetables get all the glory. In recent years, vegetarians — and to an even greater degree vegans, their hard-core inner circle — have dominated the discussion about the ethics of eating. From the philosopher Peter Singer, whose 1975 volume “Animal Liberation” galvanized an international movement, to the novelist Jonathan Safran Foer, who wrote the 2009 best seller “Eating Animals,” those who forswear meat have made the case that what we eat is a crucial ethical decision. To be just, they say, we must put down our cheeseburgers and join their ranks.

God’s even a fan of veal by way of Christ’s parable of the Prodigal Son and the father ordering the fatted calf to be slaughtered in celebration of his son’s return.

“Ethics has nothing to do with eating food.”
CORRECT
Millions of years of evolution have turned us into omnivores. Vegetarians (philosophical ones, not ones doing it for health reasons of course) should look it up.
Well moron, because God told us it was.
That's why he made us omnivores and placed us at the top of the food chain. Take a look at your teeth, unless you have molars all the way around, you have a couple of fangs called canines. Those are meant to be used for ripping and tearing...raw meat.
That's why God gave them to you.
Why is it ethical to eat plants? Who are we to get to decide which species are higher than other? Plants breath, grow, and reproduce too, even though in different way from animals.
If God didn’t intend for us to eat animals he wouldn’t have made them out of meat.
PETA says meat is murder. If so I make Stalin look like a beginner...
Cows turn grass into protein. Deer convert trees and shrubs into protein. Chickens convert insects and grain into tasty meat. It would be unethical not to use these sources of protein.
Actually, plants emit carbon over night, so it's worse than you thought. The poor things work so hard to produce oxygen for 8-12 hours a day, and these heartless vegans kill them with wonderlust!
Crustaceans certainly can't make a moral case, because they are cannibals. If they don't care about themselves, why should I?
If you didn’t eat meat, where would the gravy come from?
Love it!
Do we all know that Singer is eugenicist, pro-abortion , euthansia, up is down black is white-a complete freak.
That is why during the bogus birth control /religion debate the only comparison I could think of that would roil libs that much was a vegan restaurant being forced by the govt to offer meat on their menu.
Everything eats.
Things that eat grass and grains are called food .
Things that eat meat are competition.
You do have to wonder though, because they elected a guy named Barack Hussein Obama as President of what was formerly the greatest nation on the planet.
I can make gravy out of anything.
I could make spinach gravy, I could make licorice gravy....uh...never mind.
Why are the “developmentally disabled” always guided into being ethicists and teachers?
.
Which ones?
Great Apes eat meat when they can get it..
They are just poor hunters.

If we didn’t have MRs who would the NY times hire?
To paraphrase John Denver: “Thank God I’m a carnivore!”
Most of the time. I have been in situations where I was not necessarily so.
