Why doesn't meat help meat eaters be healthy?

[Woodznutz]

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

The time between these two periods is where we are living and need to be addressed.

In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together; the leopard will lie down with the baby goat. The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion, and a little child will lead them all

 

[Woodznutz]

You refuse to see it.

God allows eating of certain meats during this dispensation. Why not enjoy it. The earth also needs animal manures to be healthy and productive and to produce healthy, productive people.

Chemicals, not good.

So what?

Needless killing is cruel

And dead animals don't produce manure.

 

[Woodznutz]

You refuse to see it.

I see that you are a vegetarian or vegan, and that's ok.

I am anti cruelty that is all.

Killing when it is unnecessary is cruel

And dead animals don't produce manure.

The manure they produce while alive is as important and their flesh is in death.

Then let them live a long natural life and when they die of natural causes you can eat them

I agree that the meat industry can be improved, but you are suggesting that it be terminated.

 

[Woodznutz]

God says not to eat anything that dies 'of itself'. They must be killed in a proper manner. Animals the die 'naturally' or from injury or disease are made into pet food (dogs can eat the darndest things).

If we didn't breed them for food their species would die out or only exist in zoos or sanctuaries, as a cynical reminder of a prosperous past.

I don't worship your god. But tell me what is the proper manner of killing so you can eat.

And why not wait until an animal is near the end of its normal life span?

And what about all the animals used in factory farming that are not killed for food ?

 

[Blues Man]

So, you eat meat?

No because factory farming is cruel. And I have no desire to hunt and kill an animal because it is unnecessary for my survival.

If you wanted to hunt and process your own meat and only kill what you need and I would have no issue. But by not doing that you are supporting an inherently cruel industry.

Slaughtering is a grisly business but hardly cruel. Anyway, the benefits to mankind far outweigh the negatives.

 

[Unkotare]

Slaughtering literally billions of animals annually when there is actually no need to is cruel

Well, eating them while they are still alive seems cruel.

 

[Unkotare]

...

I will refrain from responding for the rest of the day. ...

Going to a cookout?

 

[Woodznutz]

Going to a cookout?

No because factory farming is cruel. And I have no desire to hunt and kill an animal because it is unnecessary for my survival.

I avoid doing things that aren't necessary for my well-being, but not eating meat isn't one of them.

 

[Woodznutz]

But tell me what is the proper manner of killing so you can eat.

Large animals are stunned then bled out. Fowl are 'stuck' through the brain, fish 'drown' when removed from the water.

There really are no benefits since eating meat is entirely unnecessary

Large animals are stunned then bled out. Fowl are 'stuck' through the brain, fish 'drown' when removed from the water.

That's what the bible says?

What does the bible say about gassing animals with CO2 or electrocuting them?

What does it say about throwing live birds into a macerator ?

What does the bible say about forcing animals into a constant state of false pregnancy so they unnaturally produce mammary secretions and confining them so they can barely move ?
