I've explained why you shouldn't eat humans here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42611868 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42611868 As I understood your argument, you primarily don't like the idea of eating animals based on your beliefs, and you would oppose it even if animals were the healthiest food available ever. So I don't think we contradict each other here — I've heard you, and I understand your ethical position. > And a bunch of stuff a human body can/should synthesize You're 100% correct here, I am aware of that. For example, if you only eat meat, your body will synthesize glucose which it would be otherwise lacking (which technically means that meat does not contain the "optimal amount" of sugars). > Remember healthy eating is also NOT getting stuff you don't need and synthesize And also getting stuff that a body cannot synthesize enough. Like the notorious B vitamin pills that vegans pop like candy. > It's just an excuse to justify a existing taste for meat No excuse needed, god (or nature) made cows delicious — what do you think is the reason for that?

> Like the notorious B vitamin pills that vegans pop like candy Anecdotal like a lot of this but I take a single 2000mcg B12 pill once per week and have never been deficient in 19 years as a vegan. Once a week is pretty far from popping like candy.

> No excuse needed, god (or nature) made cows delicious — what do you think is the reason for that? Again elegant but broken theory to justify a taste. Have you tried eating cow as it appears in "nature"? Let me know how delicious raw meat is. If you manage to kill it mano el mano as "nature" intended of course ;) And of course apples are delicious. Beans. Avocado. Nuts. Stuff can be very bad for you but taste very good. How do you know this is not that case with animals? If you think "god" made them tasty check maybe it was the satan actually? Animal conditions make me think of that guy more;) The simple healthy meal is not eating animals. Coincidentally not the most tasty by a long shot but taste is subjective and always changes depending on what you get used to
