"A very outdated book"? lol The Bible is a book of God. Lets say for the purpose of fair argument that the Bible is a book that was written along time ago and holds no meaning today. Than Staci, you are right. But lets also say for the sake of argument that it is a true book that contains the word of God. Would the word of God hold less meaning today than it did over 2,000 years ago, or do you think The word of God is unchanging?
Genesis 9:1-3 says: "Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall upon all of the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, now I give you everything."
@StaciMarie333 "Everything that lives and moves will be food for you". You cant eat what you dont kill. Im not saying that killing animals is ok. It is ok if you kill animals for food not for sport. And this verse proves that it is okay to KILL and Eat animals, that is why they are here.
@NPRAlexHowell Umm yeah still no excuse there. The other animals have their own purpose in life just as we do. To live and procreate. They were not made just for us. It is utterly ridiculous that you think a very outdated book should be taken as some sort of "proof". I don't mean to bash your religion, honestly, but the good information in the Bible is few and far between. Not to mention a plant based diet is the best thing for your health, we all know fruits and veggies are the best to eat!
@RetSquid hahaha oh god. Our teeth are dull, EXCELLENT for chomping on vegetation. MEAT EATERS on the other hand have pointy teeth that's designed for tearing through meat, as well as all the hunting traits they are naturally equipped with that us humans don't have.
In order to eat meat, we must use weapons, and tools to kill them, and on top of that WE MUST cook the meat otherwise we are at risk for getting sick. This unnatural process doesn't exist in omnivore animals.
Maybe you have some mutant teeth. I have sharp incisors and very sharp canines...perfect for holding and tearing meat. As far as cooking goes, ever hear of Steak tar-tar or Sushi?
@RetSquid oh my good, are YOUR MUTANT TEETH so sharp, that you can hurt finger if you poke the end of it? And you failed to refute all my other points.
What points? You are the one with the dull-mutant-non-meat-eating teeth. My teeth work very well on meat.
We use weapons because we can get access to better meat that way. Without weapons we could still scavenge, so that does not help your claim that we weren't designed to eat meat. As far as cooking, we have weakened our systems over the years so that we need to cook most meats, we would just need to build up our resistances again.
@RetSquid LOLOL k, nice ignorance you got there, you have GOT to be kidding me. I'd like to see you with your "scavenging" eat some dead rotting decaying bodies you find, seeing as how that's what it is.
And "weakened our systems" show me some evidence of events where this has occurred through history. Are you saying, we used to be able to eat rotting meat?
I'll leave you with this video, hopefully you'll be less ignorant after. You probably won't though. /watch?v=05zhL1YUd8Q
You really want to go there? Scavenging isn't eating rotting meat or decaying bodies, it's just getting there after the kill. As far as weakened systems, that is evident with any first-worlder drinking water in a third world country.
I watched the video, not very good and some obvious major mistakes in it.
I used 'scavenge' in the sense of "eating already dead meat", not "eating rotting meat".
Third world countries do have lower-quality water, that is why we would get sick there, not becasue of the lower quality food. Those who live there have stronger systems and survive what would kill a first-worlder.
There are hundreds of thousands of miles of land that are unfarmable (due to climate, soil type, being rocky, mountainous, desert, etc.) but where food animals CAN be grazed & raised. Supposedly if we stopped producing animals in these areas, many people would starve to death. There are large areas in Africa where this is the case- meat keeps them alive. With the enormous human population, doesn't it actually make sense to raise food animals on land that can't be cultivated to grow plant foods?

Why is this even a topic for debate? Humans are designed to eat meat.
"Ethics" and "PETA" don't even belong in the same sentence.

@RetSquid Yes sir, look up what scavenging is. And how do you except these animals to be killed? Someone would have had to kill them unnaturally...
And these third world countries have mostly sick people from contaminated drinking water. Do you honestly think they're all healthy?
Mistakes that are obvious? I challenge you to name one.
