I’m omnivore. I was raised this way, and although I have many friends who are vegetarians, and I’ve thought about the reasons for becoming vegetarian, I’ve decided to stay omnivore.
Omnivore:
No, it’s not healthy. One doesn’t need to eat meat every day, or even multiple times a day, to gain the benefits that comes from eating meat. Plus, meat is weakly linked to an increased risk of cancer. Intensive farming is also not healthy for the planet, but probably not more than other global human enterprise. I think it would be possible to reduce bio-emissions or convert them to something usable.
Factory farming is obviously a necessary evil. It’s not as efficient or as cruelty-free as it could be, and should be improved. Yes, I would pay twice the present price of meat for meat raised in a less cruel environment.
No, any animals deserves the same amount of compassion.
Yes, I would still eat meat, there’s no reason to deprive yourself of the benefits of eating meat.
Vegetarian:
Yes, I would eat it. Meat should not be consumed only in the present form, because its production creates a lot of suffering. But meat grown in a vat is just another kind of food.
I would not disagree that it’s natural for humans to eat meat. It’s also natural for lions to eat the cubs of another male, but that does not condone us to eat babies. We have the resource and the intelligence to make better choices, including elevating the welfare of the animal kingdom.
Yes, of course it is. As a member of a society that is deeply flawed, it is my duty to at least advertise the possibility of a better behaviour. Yes I have tried to convert others to vegetarianisms, by talking about it in neutral places or supporting campaing to advertise this way of life.
A well documented increase in riks of cancer, although that’s just another reason to switch to vegetarian, although not the primary one.
