Our entire history has been one of eating meat, you can call it evolution or you can say it was divine interference but we have always eaten meat.
Eating meat in any significant quantity is actually a relatively modern phenomenon, late 20th century-ish onwards. Historically, people's diets have not been predominantly meat based.
Our teeth are designed for it, our bodies are designed for it, we are meant to eat meat.
Not really. If you were "meant" to eat meat, you wouldn't require to cook any of it. Compare a human digestive system to that of a carnivore and you'll see that the human digestive system isn't particuarly well suited to eating meat at all.
Vegan/Vegetarianism can be seen as nothing more than another small fad in the long history of consuming flesh, yet you seem to think its me that has to justify myself?
Very narrow and naive view to take... A lot of movements were no doubt deemed to be a "fad" and a minority when they started - like abolition of slavery, and allowing women the vote.
It is for those who consume animals and animal products to justify themselves - you are participating in a mass holocaust of various animal species, those who abstain are not.
You want people to change, you can't ask that without giving reasons. Blind belief is for the weak willed, so man up and explain yourself or admit you made a post you can't back up.
Knowledge and understanding is something you need to seek for yourself, it isn't always up to others to spell it out for you....
So what is unhealthy about a skinless chicken breast? Or a trimmed steak for that matter?
What's healthy about it?
In moderation none of these things cause problems, gluttony and laziness do. I believe these traits are not confined to those with a carnivorous diet?
Yes, over consumption is a problem, but it would appear that over consumption occurs on a bigger scale amongst those with animal based diets. And yes, laziness is a problem - because people don't get off their arse and exercise anywhere near enough, not least because of driving everywhere.
What are your main sources of protein?
Not from animals.
I can hold a burger in both hands? What I meant was the vast majority of meals I have contain meat, of course I eat veggies too but I like some meat with most meals. You seem to think all carnivores just wolf down steaks and McDonalds all day, most eat properly.
If everyone who said they ate properly actually did then we wouldn't be a nation with a serious obesity problem. If the vast majority of meals you eat do contain meat, that still doesn't strike me as balanced.
So you can't back it up then. You sound rather like a religious nut, believe in me but don't expect me to prove a thing.
As you well know I've backed up what I say on countless occasions, I'm not obliged to repeat myself - you can find out things for yourself and search previous posts if you really want.
), ergo the "challenge" is on the minority to justify why they hold their minority beliefs..
