- albrewer 3y agoBy eating them you contribute to the overall demand for new beef, thereby perpetuating the cycle of bovine misery.
- cryptonector 3y agoHumans are carnivores. Like felines, canines, etc. But it is tough, yes, to be a carnivore when these animals are so lovable and loving. As a beekeeper it's hard to to steal my bees' honey. But... I still do it.
- ornornor 3y agoDoesn’t have to be this way though. We’re not obligate carnivores, you can eat no animal product for decades and be just fine.
- cryptonector 3y agoI don't think this is true. I mean, yes, we can not eat meat, but I don't believe that not eating animal protein produces equivalent results to eating animal protein.
- ornornor 3y agoI disagree on that point, I think it’s totally possible to live healthily without eating anything that comes from an animal.

- lm28469 3y agoWhen 50% of the west is obese this is not a concern, people don't give a shit about "the results" And it's not a boolean switch, we could definitely eat less meat of better quality and achieve better "results" on a planetary scale
- lm28469 3y ago> Humans are carnivores. That doesn't tell the whole story. Felines become ill on vegetarian diet, humans can definitely thrive on vegetarian diets. Also there is such a wide spectrum between modern animal factories insanity and sustainable meat eating, you can't throw them both in the same box and rationalize everything by saying "OOMAN EAT MEAT! OOMAN NEED MEAT!"
- Asraelite 3y ago> Felines become ill on vegetarian diet, humans can definitely thrive on vegetarian diets. Sort of. Humans would die on a paleo vegetarian diet. We need modern supplements and/or cultured bacteria. The same is true of cats; they can survive on a vegetarian diet but only with supplements (although it's much, much harder to do this right with cats than it is for humans).
- tradertef 3y agoAs a fellow beekeper and carnivore, I think these two are very different. For bees, we provide them a house and it is in our best interest to have them live as long as possible.
- cryptonector 3y agoIt's a bit like keeping dairy cows.
