We're made to have sex too, that doesn't justify rape. We make choices and are responsible for our actions.
We can clearly survive without eating meat without any adverse effects. That makes it just another choice we make. We're responsible for our choices and can't get away with vague claims about biological dictates.
- blamestross 4y ago`> biological dictates` Note that the point of my response was not the present the decision as a binary but a spectrum. Should we have meat as part of the daily diet, probably not. Should we never eat meat for moral reasons? I don't think that is true. In the most extreme case, I'd argue things like auto-cannibalism are always ethical (You can know that you consent, especially when meat is produced via hypothetical vegan cloning methods)
- Scarblac 4y agoMy personal belief is that people are responsible for their own choices, I'm not going to tell them what to do (within reason). I'm just saying that pointing at our biology as a justification for eating meat and acting like it's not a choice is not taking responsibility. And that's something I don't like in adults.
