What if meat weren't actually from an animal?

[Chloe]

It was a way of life for southerners like it or not. One cow could feed many families. A human is not an animal. The arrogance is trying to tell us how to live.

Humans are a species of mammal though, so we are animals. I don't think anybody is trying to tell you how to live I think it's more about teaching people how they can live better, kinder, and more responsible to all life and not just ours.

In factory farms maybe but not small farms. We always treated ours with respect.

That's the problem. Most of the meat that we eat comes not from what most of us think of as farms, but from animal growing facilities that treat the animals like objects and literally force feed them until they reach the desired size for slaughter.

My point here is that once you remove this line, man is not special in any sense and there is no reason we shouldn't live like the rest of the animals on the planet: "survival of the fittest." Hitler understood this. . .and practiced it!

Religious beliefs aside for a moment let me ask you a question please...do human beings serve any beneficial purposes to life on this planet including the health of the planet itself? If so what/how?

I'm sorry Adelaide and others I'm kindof derailing this topic. @roadmaster you don't have to answer my question.

Yes we are the ones He put over animals to treat them with respect but even Jesus did eat fish. Yes we all have a purpose and the ones who follow Him are his servants. It even says in the Bible a lion will sleep with a lamb. Animals are here for a purpose too just like plants. I never put aside my beliefs.

I didn't think it would be so difficult to temporarily think about something in a different way but apparently I was wrong.

Why can't you try thinking about it our way then?

Well it's a combination of wanting to make the manufacturing of meat more economical and removing the cruelty.

Grass fed beef isn't cruel. The money part doesn't bother me.

Humans are not parasites- we serve a purpose here on earth. I don't think that you can remove religion/spirituality from it.
