Eating meat for survival - if there are no other options - sure - gotta do what you can to survive.
Eating meat for taste pleasure - is it really justified that millions of sentient beings have to suffer horribly and in addition to this the environmental damage and the horrible working conditions for fellow humans in factory farms created by our demand for meat.
We generally consider babies as innocent... the idea of killing babies of other species just so we can derive some sensory pleasure from it is frankly barbaric[0](yes go ahead down vote me to oblivion) - but from an ethical standpoint - how can we place our pleasure above the lives of other non-human animals and biosphere health?

- TaylorAlexander 6y agoThank you for the support. Yes my comment you are responding to is a flat factual statement. Since becoming vegan I have learned that I had built up a lot of cognitive dissonance around animal agriculture and I believe most (but not all) meat eaters in the USA carry that dissonance. It can be upsetting for cognitive dissonance to be activated and I believe that’s why people downvote things like this. I certainly wasn’t rude, short, inflammatory, accusatory or judging. I will check out those links thank you!
