Ethics/allowable/etc. Yes. God gave mankind dominion over all other living things on the Earth.
Reasons- Critical reason to eat meat- Meats have all the essential amino acids. Your body can make several amino acids, but some it cannot and THEY MUST be consumed in foods or, for some people, in supplements. These are called essential amino acids, and single types of plants just don't have them all. This is why there are dishes such as rice and bean jambalaya, and refried pinto beans on corn tortillas, and rice and black beans. The rice and corn have part of the essentials , and the beans/lentils/legumes have another part of the essentials. But both must be eaten simultaneously for the body to be able to use either! With meats and other animal foods such as eggs, all essential amino acids are there!
Environmental aspect - We have been told that on a pound for pound basis, cattle cost more in grain and feed than other meats such as pork or chicken. It isn't quite that simple, since there are trade-off byproducts that can be reused on the farm to make-up some of that difference. Yes, on the bottom line, it does cost more to get a pound of beef than a pound of chicken, and still a bit more than pork. That's life. It also costs more to get a pound of gold than a pound of silver. That is also life!
What the environmentalists seldom mention is that the use of corn as a source of fuel ethanol is running neck-and-neck with its use as animal feeds, and even surpassing them in some years. So in essence, we are using corn less and less for its most logical husbandry uses, when other bio-organics could be easily used as feedstocks to brew fuels. Cattle can also be grass-fed, or grass-fed and then "corn-finished", a type of compromise in animal husbandry.
It's a normal thing. It's more of a balance. I'm an omnivore and if it's not natural, we all evolved to eat meat and even evolved to like the taste of it so we can't blame anyone if meat just really taste good. And yes it's a great source of protein as well. Why do we have to stuff ourselves with soy, beans and peas when we can just have meat? There are also vegetable parts that are not even edible to humans like husks, peelings, leaves, spoiled/abnormal vegetables and other stuff that would be a waste if thrown away. While they're good fertilizers, you don't use many of them. That's why they are fed to animals we eat. And another thing would be, not all soil in this world makes a good agricultural field before you say meat farm would really take up most our land that could've make more food for people. But lets pretend we don't have to feed those inedible to farm animals. Throw it in the wilds? Sure the wild version of our farm animals can eat those but what happens if you just leave them alone? They can populate, they're only gonna get eaten by predators and if predators have so many food, they're also gonna populate until you'll see them roaming around the city becoming the new pests and threat of our civilization. And it would make no difference if you kill them as a pest control and i'm not just talking about the predators. Those farm animals can become pests eating our garbage.
It's not ethical in the way we raise animals just to slaughter them. People will fight over and over again how natural it is for humans to eat meat but it's just not natural with how we do it in our modern world. People could easily choose to be vegetarian/vegan but they won't because of selfish reasons. I ain't gonna fight them either cause most of them are so hardheaded that there is no getting through to them.
I'm for regulating the meat industry. Like seriously they need to be making sure the animals aren't getting sick cramped in dirty cages before they're slaughtered. And want quick euthanizations of animals for pain free deaths. But also I enjoy meat. It's natural. It's part of nature and nature isn't always pretty. It just needs to be regulated.

If not then lions, tigers, cheetahs, jaguars, leopards, alligators, crocodiles, dogs, cats, hyenas, owls, falcons, hawks, eagles, sharks, jellyfish... practically every fish in the ocean, bears, lynx, mongoose, fox, wolves, weasels, dolphins, whales, squid, walrus and many others... they are unethical too.
At least we usually kill them first.
Dude you should see those videos of lions eating a warthog alive while it is still screaming or crocodile each grabbing onto a live animal and ripping it apart while alive.
Not only is ethical, it is natural. Some creatures eat meat, others eat plants, others eat anything. We are of the latter category.
Amy problems caused by eating meat is not because of the act itself, but because of other factors related to it.
For example, the excessive amount of humans living at the moment create the need for lots of meat for consumption, which is obtained by breeding lots of livestock to meet the demand. Such amount of livestock use a lot of resources and produce a lot of waste (the most known would be the methane has from cows).
So, eating meat is not the problem, but the number of people alive, which need to eat meat.
There are a lot of opinions nowadays about whether you choose or not. I think if you like then yes if not then don't eat it. If it is ethical or not I don't know but people have been doing it for centuries it's just how we survive and we need different nutrients that come from meat. As for the environmental aspect i wouldn't be that bothered. If you take a look at what china produces in terms of pollution to people who drive cars that are old, big and consume too much petrol that it's completely useless since only one driving. Then you understand that eating meat it's probably not going to affect much. Environmental problems is a rich countries problem because they have everything. In poor countries they are trying to survive and don't care about that
I believe it is as God gave us earth to look after and live on and part of survival is food so God invented the food chain allowing us to have meat and all the weird and wonderful foods he gave us.
However if our food has been reared badly it doesn't respect the sanctity of life so I do thi k it's ethical then
No, but I don't think it's unethical either. I don't think ethics apply. It provides nutrients. We're omnivores. We eat meat. Most of us each too much meat, which isn't healthy and we should probably cut back, but eating meat here and there is fine. Still, I'm not a fan of factory farming and think we should put more effort into developing a more humane way to meet the demand for meat without literally torturing animals to do it. Cloned meat is one such possible solution, which is also better for the environment, I'm told. But we're still several years away from that being a viable option, at least.
Lol this stupid ass question. We are omnivores omnis need meat and green we don't eat meat we get sick loose muscle mass have greatly reduced strength and have no energy. No greens and we have kidney problems, heart issues, clogged poopers.
Vegans and vegetarians can go to hell. I like my meat and i dont give a shit hows its made unless it affects taste or nutrients. It not like you can taste the tears of slaughtered for or taste how it died so who cares. Oo boo hoo little baby chicks get thrown into a grinder. I can taste the suffering in this chicken nugget and it tastes fried.
people eat meat only and only for taste.
Protein is bull shit!
We used to eat meat for survival reasons we were traveling around cold environments we don’t need that anymore all meat does is destroy our bodies environments and everything else.
And makes us weak and fat.
That’s why we cook it and add flavors to it, were tricking the body to eat the meat.
No one would ever eat a raw chicken.
However my cat loves raw chicken.
I’m a public speaker I’ve seen people recover from ever sickness only with fresh hair, organic fruits and vegetables and exercise.
I have no other option. I cannot eat sufficient quantities of high protein starches to supply me with needed protein for survival due to diabetes. But I mostly eat fish and fishing is ethical because the fish you kill and eat were hunting other fish to eat when you catch them.
Ethical or not it's perfectly natural to eat meat. It's important that we do for our health. Sure many people live proper lives without it, vegetarians. But humans weren't designed to be vegetarians. We were designed to be omnivores.
If people wanna get all picky and not eat meat because they don't want to harm animals. That's cool. It's nice that they care. But they shouldn't try to force others to stop eating meat.
If the world turned vegetarian, the planet would likely become even more over populated with life.
I'd say it is ethical to eat meat. If it were unethical then it would surely be banned.
u if I had to start to question myself this way...
my first question would be... is it ethical at all, they I get to enjoy four meals a day, every single day and without a care, while so many others in this world are dying, daily, of malnourishment...
I've actually thought about it so many times, mostly as a kid... I'm still not sure where "ethical" starts, and where does it end... how much would I have to do (and therefore ignore the rest) till I feel better about myself.
I eat meat because our species evolved to be omnivores. We have teeth and a gut biome that is designed to chew and break down both plants and meat. Also other carnivores and omnivores in nature kill other animals to eat. So yeah I think it's pretty ethical.
Side note I believe they released a study where they reported plants know when they're being cut down/damaged/are being eaten. So if we're talking about ethics you vegetarians and vegans have a lot of explaining to do. 😂
Why would eating something that is a necessity for our survival be unethical. Only meat can provide us with B12 through natural means (aka not requiring supplements). Thus it is part of our diet.
To say meat is unethical is equal to saying nature is unethical.
Now if you want to argue the way we produce meat is unethical - that's a whole different can of worms.
Yes, most of these animals would not exist if humans didn't want to eat them. It's not like their lives are all that good, but still better than nothing.
I think we can make eating meat more ethical though through better technology and advancements in science.
I don’t have any problem with eating acceptable meats (cow, pig, turkey etc) in moderation. And I’m sick of these eco extremists and their authoritarianism.
Until safe synthetic meat becomes a thing, these green soy hippies should stop acting like the Gestapo.
yes it is. meat is a vital part to our dietary health. vegan/vegetarian claims that you can be "as healthy" without meat rely on psoido-science. not eating meat comes with severe health problems even if you're at the cutting edge of nutritional science.
There are many reasons to eat meat something on your tongue forget the name of it the body needs this and with me is one of the things that have it I can't remember the name of it it's on the tip of my tongue LOL and protein
I don't have any problem eating meat and like almost everything, eating too much of any one thing is probably not good for your overall health. Meat is a good source of protein and other nutrients not otherwise readily available in most other foods.
Reason... I like it. Frankly I do not need any further reason nor to rationalize whether or not it is ethical. Besides, my ancestors did not propel me to the top of the food chain for me to bean turds that last like meat. Which frankly baffles me. I mean, why ‘flavor’ a crop to taste like a meat if you do not like meat? Strange...
We are omnivores. Yes we can eat meat even though how many meats are raised and prepared are considered unethical. Meat is part of the human diet. Even though vegetarians find replacements for meats and I don't know what they are or how effective of a replacement it is.
Being a Pagan, I think all life is sacred. No animal will die just to feed me. I have been veggie all my life, and am fit and now healthy after covid.
