Unless you only eat meat, you're not a carnivore. If you also eat vegetables with your Sunday dinner, you're an omnivore.

There is the whole myth about 70% of Indians are vegetarian. Truth is the devout/Brahmins are 100% vegetarian. The rest will eat meat/fish once or twice a week. The difference being it will be locally sourced if they are rural folk. Of course now there is a burgeoning white collar city lifestyle.

Well why do you think we should eat animals? There's alternatives that taste just as good (some even better). Why do you think we should eat animals when it's animal abuse? Animal agriculture uses more green house gasses than all of transport combined too. Is "I like eating meat and I like drinking milk" good enough to justify animal cruelty, a huge contributor to global warming? I don't think so -the dairy industry is more ****ed up than the meat industry too. I find it funny how you people can call yourself 'animal lovers'

India is complex though as can be very dependent on the region as well as religion. In more heavily meat eating societies such as the punjab its far more common due to both the type of agriculture and the mix of three major religions with differing proscribed meats (up until 47 but attitudes still prevail) than in other societies across the country where they are more monocultural and agrarian.

Funny, if pleasure was a justification for things then rape would probably be legal. Any one could eat your dog too

I'm with you...but you can't deny that meat has been eaten by our species historically. That can't be erased. The level of over consumption and animal abuse and corruption in these modern times is my reason to reject the practice wholesale.

I think we're naturally omnivores (as Thunder Bolt says) and therefore animals will have to be killed so that I can eat them. I can understand why you call that abuse but I think there are quick and painless ways for animals to be killed and I'm comfortable with that. You're not, it clearly upsets you and I do understand why. I just happen to disagree.

Just because we've done something for a long time it doesn't make it correct/good. Even more so now that studies have shown that processed meat/red meat causes cancer.

Probably the same place you dug up your percentages from!
Oh I'm sorry , looks like I have hit a nerve here, for your information the thread started with a joke video.
To be fair though any meme posted after the cartoon by [MENTION=5200]Buzzer[/MENTION] ( post #2 ) is going to be nowhere near as funny.

I am 70 next year, and I have lost several friends, who were vegetarian, to cancer.
Look at Linda McCartney who was a trailblazer for vegetarianism, and only made it to 56.

You said "animals will have to be killed".. what does that mean? No animals have to be killed because we don't need them - you can get everything you need from a plant based diet so I don't understand what you mean by that. As for quick and painless ways; breeding animals to be trapped in horrible conditions, standing in their own shit to be killed at a young age (most 1/2 years) to then be gassed/throat slit etc is NOT worth it for a burger. It's also interesting how you said there's "quick and painless ways" as if that's a good thing. It's not humane to kill something just because there's a painless way (by the way, the only 'painless' way is a bolt gun to the head and that doesn't even work most of the time and it isn't the primary method too). I encourage you to watch a clip of Earthlings on YouTube and you tell me if you're really comfortable with it.
