Halloween and Soup = Confirmed(?)
As much as I am sick of vegans being high and mighty and demanding we not eat meat when not eating meat has been scientifically proven to reduce your health due to protein starvation…
I want to cuddle a cow. We shouldn’t have to eat meat, but we do have to because we evolved to require it over 12k years ago and nature is cruel like that. At the very least ungulate livestock deserve the recognition of being alive and having feelings, even if consuming flesh is inevitable.
Also I will never eat veal or lamb. Seriously, don’t tear a calf from it’s mother if you’re hungry.
Depends. Growing children will literally starve to death without protein, especially between weaning and early childhood. If you do sports, protein can be absolutely critical.
Also, as cute as animals are, don’t kid yourselves; if we don’t eat that cow, another omnivore or a carnivore will. Sadly nature knows that innocent baby animals (including human babies) are squishy, soft and delicious, and wild predatory animals do not hesitate to eat the weak despite how horrifying we find it.
The reason I say so is, well, just in case you get a pet and need to know it’s diet. A rabbit is alright with eating just leaves and fruit, while dogs, cats and ferrets are obligate carnivores and at least need meat-derived pet kibble in their diet to live.
Dogs don’t eat grass, they swallow it to refresh their gut microbiome and then regurgitate it or pass it undigested.
