No, the need to eat meat is a myth.
Human teeth aren't designed to rip through the skin of a living animal like a lion's are. The human digestive tract is long and winding, which causes flesh to linger for long periods, allowing it to rot in there.
A lion has stomach acid 20 times as strong as a human. That is what you need to completely digest flesh, instead of having undigested proteins escape and settle in joints, causing the autoimmune reaction of arthritis.
As far as hormones, even without the artificial growth hormones, there are STILL the hormones that the animal has naturally. Animal growth hormones have no place in a truly human body. Growth hormones do survive the digestion process. It's part of how breastfeeding works. The mother's growth hormones transfer to the baby, to help it grow, through the breast milk.
Organic farming prohibits the use of carcinogenic chemicals, unlike other methods.
Furthermore, the farms with the most crops per acre have been organic. In addition, organic is more nutritious, because organic foods have much higher mineral content, as shown in a Rutger's University study.
The unnecessary killing of innocent creatures to eat them is always morally inferior. It's evil.
Nope, just ignorantly ignored by you attempting to soapbox your lifestyle.
I don't recall using the term "carnivore." I said omnivore. Look it up and be learned. Additionally, we have these things called opposable thumbs which allow us to use tools. Why would we need to bite through the skin of something when we're designed to use tools that can cut through it? Some of the earliest tools used by man are sharp obsidian cutting tools. As for arthritis, look it up. That's a whole other debate and you're wrong. So more ignorance on your part.
We won't get into you comparing meat to mother's milk. The rest of your point here is ignorantly assuming every bovine/poultry farm uses growth hormones. Your utilization here is similar to the animal activist videos showing isolated incidents on rural farms and implying the same practices are used on every farm. This is far from the truth and just hyperbolic propaganda. Oh, BTW, if hormones survive "the digestive process," given that process runs from the esophagus to the ******, they're not being digested and therefore pose zero threat. Anyway still, more ignorance on your part.
The label requires the use of "organic" pesticides. I can assure you that if you ingest them, you'll die just like someone ingesting chemical-based pesticides. Don't hide behind the label, educate yourself.
Guess how that's done? If you find "organic" food that has been infused with more minerals than your run of the mill veggies, it's because it's been bio-engineered to have it. That's no different than the hormone therapy you were calling toxic earlier. Also makes you a hypocrite. BTW, that study you're using as reference? It was conducted by Jewish vegans. Hmmmmmmmm, tainted results?
Let's break this down so people can understand the benefits of a "vegetarian" diet into a meal. Healthy dinner comprised of 2 cups of broccoli, a chicken breast and 12oz of water for the omnivore, and for the vegetarian, to get the same nutritional value, we'll have to use a whole brick of tofu in place of the chicken. In the end, the ONLY difference, is that the vegetarian is consuming more calories and sodium to match the nutritional value of the omnivore. Calories and sodium. Think about that.
Your holier-than-thou veganism is the reason that I have now resolved to double my meat intake. From breakfast tomorrow your inane vegan proselytizing will be responsible for the needless slaughter of innocent creatures.
But it's not too late to save them. All you have to do is cease and desist with the vegan dribble and the piggy will be allowed to live.
I know what an omnivore is. Humans are frugivores. The necessity to use tools to eat flesh indicates that it is unnatural to eat it.
Thirty is old. It's not "old man" old, but it's "older." Hence, my original post.
Further proof of this, 30 is the age you wake up and start feeling like **** and find out you suddenly gained ten pounds overnight.
I have never mentioned holiness.
Your response is classic might makes right meat eating mentality.
You would do it regardless. It's like someone holding a gun to someone else's head and telling you to drop your gun or else. Anyone bad enough to threaten to kill like that can't be trusted not to pull the trigger anyway. They will kill the person regardless. That's how bad people are. I feel sad for the piggies, but you will do it regardless.
What? You're 27 years old and you have NOTHING to live for?
Come on!
