- Not true, our bodies are (for the most part) made to be herbivores. Out of 32 teeth we have only 4 that are 'meat-eater like,' and it's more an evolution issue than a matter of actually needing them. Our digestive tracts are long to get nutrition out of vegetables, while carnivorous animals have short ones to get the meat through as quickly as possible. They also don't need fibre in their diet while we do, and they have more acidic stomachs. No other animal needs to cook meat to ensure it doesn't do them any harm, while for the most part, humans do. We are not built to eat meat naturally, we make meat edible in the way we prepare it. Like a lot of things, humans bend the rules to fit their wants.
For the latter, I think they probably mean you're indirectly abusing by contributing to the meat industry. If not, then that's a very strange state of mind.
I didn't mean that we needed both meat and vegetation, I was referring to the fact that our bodies accept either, and get certain nutritional values from both. Also I completely disagree with slaughter houses that abuse the animals (like battery hens, for example) and I always research where I buy meat or dairy products from.
But a lot of red meat can and is eaten raw or almost raw by humans, so cooking it isn't always necassary. Which suggests to me (or maybe I'm stupid) that our bodies can in fact handle it without it doing no harm.

- Of course you wouldn't do that to your dog- it would make you feel guilty. You love your dog and see him on a daily basis. You just finance the torment and abuse of cows, pigs and chickens without a second thought because you never see what goes on inside a meat factory or slaughter house. You don't have to see a disabled animal twitch on the ground in a factory farm and get trampled to death to eat a burger. You don't have to see chicken's legs snap and break because they're caused to become obese rapidly. You don't have to see factory farm sows that never even stand up the rest of their lives once they reach breeding age. There is no guilt factor there, because you don't see it happen, but you're still abusing animals, albeit indirectly.
As I stated above, I research where I buy meat and dairy products from. The animals are free to roam and are far from being in the disabled, abused state that we do hear so much about. Most of the dairy products are form local farms therefore, I know that they're telling the truth when they say 'organic'. I've seen countless documentaries about what happens inside a slaughter house - I know
exactly what goes on in most but not all are like that. Not every cow or pig is left to almost die before it is killed in the least humane way possible and not every chicken is locked inside a cage three times too small.
What the person was referring to though was that any one that eats meat abuses EVERY animal, which isn't true at all. Just because I eat meat doesn't mean I do that, or that anyone does, whether guilt is involved or not.
I think eating meat is a complete personal preference though. I don't like or eat most of it as it does, frankly disgust me
oh my gosh, I don't think oral sex or using a tampon is sex either. I should have clarified.
