Reply #72: Want v. need.

[flvegan]

Eating meat is like driving an H2. It's about saying "fuck the consequences, it's what I want" as opposed to embracing what's best.

99% of humans don't NEED to eat meat. They do so because they want to. It's a taste thing. It's selfish. We all know the reasons why we shouldn't (environment/health/animal welfare).

There's your reality. Saying we "evolved" to eat meat or that we're "higher on the food chain" and therefore should is much akin to saying that we evolved to cave into our pathetic desires regardless of the outcome, or that we shouldn't give a shit about what we do because we're higher on some scale based in self-love and selfishness.

Eat meat, drive a Hummer. Same damn thing.
