There is some evidence however that humanity may have been herbivores at some point then began to advance rapidly when iodine from shellfish was added to the diet, then the spear was inventedAnd that is why we are omnivores...Since there were no supplements for 99.999 percent if humanity all nutrients came from nature.I think we could do with less meat and more compassionate treatment of the animals under our care. But we aren’t herbivores and to be healthy vegan requires a good bit of knowledge and access to the right foods and supplements.He wants to tell us all how to live our lives, first they take meat then freedomI do not think eating animals violates live and let live.
With all due respect, that sounds like doublespeak. Unlike carnivorous animals, we have a choice. We don't HAVE TO eat flesh. The main reasons people do it are: tradition, habit and simply because they want to, for temporary palate pleasure.
So because we have a choice, when one chooses to take the life of another needlessly, that DOES go against the principle of live and let live.
We are granted a conscience and free will to choose.
True, but why cause unnecessary harm and suffering?
Within that is a lot of latitude. Every creature has a place and a purpose and I do not believe we were placed above them but alongside.
So if you consider animals to be your equal...then why not treat them the way you would want to be treated?
Would you like to be put in a cage, exploited for your body, stabbed in the throat, have your limbs cut off while you're still conscious, then hung upside-down to bleed to death? If you wouldn't want someone to do that to you, why do that to the animals who you say are alongside you?
I think you missed what I said in my first post in this thread.
