Cool. I was just referring to the amount of grain that could be consumed by humans instead of animals. Yes, of course you can argue that eating plants as just as bad as slaughtering a pig. We eat things that don't feel fear and pain when they're killed. It's entirely different than eating things with as much consciousness and emotion as humans, with only the barrier of language and intelligence.bad it makes me feel to know I'm not eating carcasses and using up energy that could be used to grow enough grain to myself as well as people who are starving.
Vegetarians are depressed because they're the only ones who understand the cruelty going on here.
First of all, not all land can be used to produce corn/whatever. They can however be used for grazing etc. To say that that energy could have been used otherwise is not entirely correct. (of course if you prop up a cow on corn, then I would agree, and that is the case a lot of times). Besides, animals gives us more than meat.
Moreover, I don't really think that vegetarians can claim any moral highground regarding that "we don't eat carcasses" thing. You eat organic material, things that lived as well, I don't see how it really makes a difference between a plant and a pig. Besides, who said eating animals are immoral? Giving them poor living conditions, stuffing them together in tight spots, sure, but eating them? I really don't see the problem.
To cut it short, it's not as black and white as what you're trying to make it. I have no problem with vegetarians or the like at all, and quite a few people could very well cut heavily on the meat, but that doesn't make everything else right.
On a completely different note, got my new laptop. Wooh!
I have one pair of shoes I actually wear and I think two more. I don't care about fashion really.
Edit: ^ plants might have emotions, we just don't know how to recognise emotions from plant life.

Humans kill for pleasure.

Please, you know as well as I do that's not true.
As for the other, are you trying to imply that plants don't have lives? Are you actually being serious?
Hunting is killing for pleasure. Humans aren't the only animals that hunt for pleasure though, for example kitty cats.
