We eat meat because we are at the top of the food chain. Imagine the consequences of all humans becoming vegans. Millions of people would go jobless, and the ecosystem which is at a delicate balance would collapse.
Yes, animal agriculture is immoral and has plenty of flaws. But eating meat is natural, we need meat to function at our best. Eating meat allowed our brains to evolve into what they are. Vegans are demonstrably less healthy that meat eaters. Animal lives matter, but not as much as a humans.
I am iffy on this one. Being vegan will DEFINITELY help your health and how you eat. Some research has linked vegan diets with lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and lower rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer. Going vegan is a great opportunity to learn more about nutrition and cooking, and improve your diet. Being a vegetarian can promote weight loss. Reduce your risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels. Lower your chances of getting certain types of cancer, such as colon cancer. Meat does have sugar in it than most vegetables or fruits. Being healthy is the main goal to focus on the body and exercising as well. There have been cases of people dying from eating meat. Meat CAN have bacteria in it which can kill people. Veggies are a more safe and healthy food to eat with a lesser risk of dying. The sugars in vegetables are natural sugars that come from the ground and the glucose the plant produces which is good for your body. People have different preferences though. Some people might have opinions such as people following a vegan diet are at an increased risk of depression as their diets have a sharp decline in omega 3 fatty acids (no fish oil or fish consumption) and a rise in omega 6 (vegetable oils and nuts). They can include algae-based omega 3 sources in their diet, but they are costly and hard to find. Humans have the natural right to choose how they want to take care of their bodies and the way they want to eat. God wants us to take care of ourselves and make sure we are healthy but we have the God-given right to choose how we eat and how we want to shape our bodies and our future. There are other foods out there that have protein in them enough to make your body healthy. People could get tired of being vegan and eventually they might get sick from eating what they don't like anymore. People could have new viruses in their body which would be another problem AND another PANDEMIC to deal with Corona for example. This would take a little while to find a cure for a specific virus depending on what it is. I am fine with either one but take what I said in mind :). Good topic btw!
If you are vegan to help the environment, I'm sorry but you are kidding yourself if you think you are making a difference. Climate change is a HUGE issue that cannot be solved by a couple million people not eating particular foods. But it can be stopped with tighter legislation on big polluting companies, by moving to greener ways of production, by cutting military spending. The US military has a bigger carbon footprint than 60 countries COMBINED
@Mimi Brown i agree, the big companies causing greenhouse gas emissions are a very big problem. but acriculture is somewhere between 20-50% of the whole human caused climate change. being vegan actually cuts your carbon footprint so much and makes you feel that you are actually trying to do something, not just sitting there waiting for everyone else to do something. i bet, in a vegan world climate vhange wouldn’t be that big of a problem in a bout a hundred years.

I want to debate, but you don't have a valid point as to why.
