Meat eaters, defend your position

...
.

We rear livestock to be eaten. So your dilemma is unnecessarily contrived.

So you'd just exterminate all the sheep, cows and pigs?

Even animals eat meat. What the hell is a humans excuse. Vegetarians are pathetic

There's nothing to defend really.

A meal without meat makes me feel empty inside. I'd even have meat cornflakes if they made meat cornflakes.

We have proper brains, and sentience. Animals (on the whole) have no moral code. What animals do should be of no concern to us.

On why you eat meat.

For me, it boils to me not caring excessively about what happens to animals beyond keeping a certain amount of genetic diversity in the wild. At this point in time, anyway.

I expect I may progress my thinking at a later stage in my life.

Spending time in the company of a chicken will tell you all you need to know about why it is okay to kill chickens for meat.

to be honest with you I really can't - I know that I could probably live my life without eating meat and I would be making a positive impact on the inevitable change from human beings being meat eaters to non-meat eaters (at least this is my prediction because I think in the future we'll probably invent a very effective meat substitute that isn't noticeably fake like tofu/soy) but I am too hooked on the taste of meat (ham especially) and I admit I am not a very moral human being because of this and I have an awful lot of respect for vegetarians (and vegans) for actually practising a good code of morals by not perpetuating the industry of animal slaughter by consuming the products of which. maybe one day I'll face up to what I know is truly moral and become a vegetarian - because I really can't and do not deny that eating meat when it isn't strictly necessary is very immoral and the only thing I can logically justify it with is my own selfishness and disregard. if we accept that causing pain is immoral and causing animals pain for our illegitimate/unprincipled satisfaction is the justification which is not morally valid (in my opinion) then it is clear that vegetarianism is the superior moral position to take and I honestly don't think anybody can really justify meat eating morally - it would have to stand only upon "because it tastes good" and that isn't a valid excuse in my opinion because it causes pain and suffering beyond that temporary oral satisfaction

You ruined the moment when you said "oral satisfaction" imo.
