Article: To eat meat or not to eat meat? What do TSR users think?

With so many options available now in supermarkets, how many people opt out of eating meat? Read more...

I like this attitude tbh.

The confrontational attitude you mean?

I don't think anybody is telling anybody that they HAVE to justify their reasons for eating meat or not.


Anyway...


For me, it comes down to a pretty basic ethical question in the end, and that is whether you believe that we, the human race, have the right to imprison, enslave and kill other living beings, purely for our own pleasure.

Once I realised that I do not believe that, I had no moral choice except to stop eating them.

I don't expect everybody else to feel the same (although I would like it) but the above point is the bottom line.

It was more the not caring attitude. I can see how it's confrontational though.

I'd say it's not purely for pleasure. It's food. I disagree with hunting etc just for fun but if you're hunting it to eat it then it's fine imo.

Not sure how that makes any sense though.

I eat meat because I like it.

People need to stop with the protein bs, other foods have protein and those foods are healthier.

Ethically speaking, there is zero necessity to eat meat. If you do so it's because you want to because you enjoy the taste or some other benefit that it brings you.

same could be said for lions and any other predators who eat other animals for meat.

Please elaborate on what else 'ethics' have to say about 'necessary nutrition'...

I wouldn't get anywhere near my 150g of protein with non meat substances, my diet literally is tuna (the only meat I really eat these days) and protein shakes.

I also love meat, especially hog, roast beef and chicken

I eat meat because vegetables alone can't fill me up.

Chicken is my best type of meat.

How much do you weigh and what is your height?
Are you male or female?

Just curious.

I didn't even write all that stuff lmao

But, yeah, it is harder to get protein if you don't eat meat

Beans sprouts, Cooked beans, Whole grains, Nuts and the funniest fact is - you don't need THAT much of protein anyway.

I need 100g of protein per day based on my body weight and the way I train (not gonna bother explaining this, but Google daily protein requirements if you're interested). Work out how much cheese/nuts/tofu that is.

I tried vegetarian for a bit but I was just always hungry. It messed my daily routine up. Im a big guy into rugby, tennis, football ect. and so I need meat to at least function the next day.

It's alright for stupid small girls to say "anyone can eat vege, in fact it's better, I've been doing it for blah blah years" but try putting yourself in someone else's shoes, literally.

A couple of shakes, a bowl of porridge, a bean/pulse based meal, a few eggs and you're done.

I'm 95kg (not fat), 6ft1, work out 4 times a week, and don't eat meat.

Not everyone can afford protein shakes. Also, I'm not arguing for people eating the way I do, I just don't need to justify it to the militant vegans ITT - just as Motorbiker stated above, I don't care all that much . I'm sure you can get enough protein from quorn etc., I'm aware that many pro bodybuilders etc. are vegan - not everyone wants to eat like that though. That said, some of the protein requirements some of the people have stated are supposedly OK for others on this thread have been downright stupid and ignorant.

Also, the guy I was replying to was giving some pretty bizarre suggestions for what to eat. Eggs are good, but you need to have a ton of, say, cheese to get enough protein.



Agree completely. "70g is enough protein for any adult guy," what utter BS.
