Our habits, the way of living, having computers, cars, houses, roads... is killing more animals in quantity and variety (and in a more cruel and irremediable way) than they're killed for food. Everybody in this thread, giving the "right" conditions would kill/eat any kind of animal (I would go farther and include humans [1]). At the end, it only depends on the circumstances (and I would cite Ortega i Gasset here: "I am myself and my circumstances"), and even if we deny it, giving certain circumstances we would have been nazis, assassins, or (almost) anything we can imagine. At the end of the day, it is just a matter of setting the bar. For some, the logic choice is to be vegetarian or vegan. I have read in this people describing this diet as healthy, and some that don't understand how people eat meat. My answer is that being a conscious choice, I am healthier when I eat meat. Eating grain/soy/dairy products basically affects negatively my body, my mood while eating meat optimizes my lifestyle. So for me the bar is set pretty low. Also, I probably understand healthy living in a different way than most people here, and I am convinced that a vegetarian/vegan diet is far from being healthy. In any case, my choice goes for grass-fed, range/pasture free animals.
