Hey there are some here right? I know Caro is. What are your reasons for not eating meat?
I have several reasons,
1) Hormones: the animals are pumped full of hormones. Ever see a girl you think is like 17 years old, but she's actually only 14 or 15? Thank Macdonalds for that one. For boys, it makes them have extra-tiny dicks. So the next generation will have early tits and little dicks.
I want to have kids some day, and I don't want old pervs hitting on my daughter(s) at a young age. Seeing as how I am a guy, I don't want to burden my son(s) with having to feel insecure about having a little weiner.
2) Slaugher: An animal shouldn't have to die for us to live, because we don't have to do that!
Human beings have been eating meat for about a million or more years. Scientists believe that humans have stopped evolving, mainly because we are intelligent enough to adapt to our environments, such as making clothes/shelters, developing cures for diseases, etc. We don't need to evolve anymore. Why not take the next step? We can get our protien and other vitamins from other sources, so animals don't have to die.
3) Raising animals for slaugher: kinda goes along with 1) and 2), animals shouldn't be created just to be killed, especially if there are alternate ways.
The animals live short lives. They are pumped full of hormones that make them grow unhealthily fast. Pigs grow so fast that their legs break under their own weight. Most of the animals we eat live in tiny cages and rarely see the light of day. Also, cows contribute to something like 60% of the methane in the atmosphere?
Yeah, so those are my reasons, but mainly 1). If I'm ever tempted to eat meat (I'm new so I haven't lost the taste for meat yet) I think of my future children.
For the record, I am in no way pushing my habits upon other people.
